I've been remiss in scheduling these full-day transformative Q&A sessions and I miss them.
You can find the details and tickets right here.
Here's one take on some of the things we covered in an expanded seminar last summer.
This is the tenth anniversary of Purple Cow, too, so we'll celebrate that as well. Cake for everyone.

Mish's Global Economic Trend Analysis |
German Finance Minister Throws Cold Water on Single Bank Resolution Agency; For How Long? Posted: 12 May 2013 08:19 PM PDT Germany's Finance minister, Wolfgang Schäuble, has an uncanny ability to tread a very narrow line on formation of an EU banking union. He frequently crosses over the line in both directions but never very far, and never for long. Every time he gives an inch to solidarity, he quickly takes it back, and vice versa. And here we go again. Weeks before the European Commission is due to present its plan for a single bank resolution agency and rescue fund, Schäuble threw the plans in doubt with a warning EU bank rescue agency needs treaty changes. Germany's finance minister has warned that a single EU bailout agency and rescue fund for ailing banks is legally untenable until the bloc's treaties have been overhauled.It's crystal clear the banking union proposal is in violation of both the eurozone treaty and the German Constitution, but such things only seem to matter on an on again off again basis. Most likely this is just another election ploy attempting to hoodwink potential AfD party members into thinking CDU/CSU will not let a full-fledged banking union happen without treaty changes. Given past wishy-washy politics from both Chancellor Angela Merkel and Schäuble, I would not trust this stance one bit if I was a potential AfD voter.

German Export Machine Hits Skids; Imbalances Intensify: Exports Drop 4.2% YoY, Imports Drop 6.9% YoY Posted: 12 May 2013 09:59 AM PDT Eurozone imbalances continue to grow even as German exports slump. Why? German imports slumped even more, and the German current account surplus grew. Via Mish-Modified Google Translate from Les Echos, please consider Germany's Export Machine Slumps in March. The German trade surplus grew in March for the third consecutive month in raw data (to € 18.8 billion after € 16.8 billion in February) detailed figures released Friday, yet the report shows much weakness.All of the alleged eurozone austerity (there really isn't much austerity as it's mostly tax hikes instead of spending cuts), has not fixed any imbalances. Germany's trade surplus managed to grow even with a collapse in German exports. Yet, Germany is slowing rapidly along with the rest of Europe.

Every scrutinized historical event fails to hold up to serious inspection.
There's missing evidence. How did he get from point A to point B? Where's the document or the eyewitness or the proof?
Your future opportunities are like this as well. Even at the hottest part of the 1998 Internet run up, skeptics wanted more proof that the internet wasn't merely a waste of time. They wanted all the dots connected, and were happy to keep collecting dots until they were.
For a train to get from one city to another, it makes countless tiny leaps, crossing microscopic chasms that would easily show up if you looked closely enough. That doesn't keep you from getting there, though.
I don't think the right question is, "is the path perfect?"
It's probably, "Is this somewhere I'd like to go?"
It's significantly easier to cross a gap when you have direction and momentum.
If you have to ask, it probably is.
The essential truth is that spam is always in the eye of the recipient. If you think it's spam, it's spam (if you're the recipient. If you're the sender, your opinion is worthless.) I don't care what the privacy policy fine print says, if someone thinks it's spam, it is.
The best definition of permission marketing used to be messages that were anticipated, personal and relevant. If this is going to be an asset of your organization (and it should be), let's take it to the next, easily measured level: would people miss it if it didn't arrive?
Once you have people looking forward to what you have to say, no more worries about spam. You've built an asset worth owning.
