Seth Godin recently described Mitch Joel (in celebration of his 700th
episode) as “in the pantheon, one of the greats.” I couldn’t agree more.
Mitch is a well-respected friend and colleague to so many of us in the
business, writing, and speaking communities. He sees trends and platforms
coming long before they hit mainstream, and his output, ideas, and incisive
interviewing style consistently leaves me with inspiration and new
information.
He was gracious to have me on Six Pixels when Pivot launched, and the
conversation (among dozens and dozens) left such a mark on me that I quoted
him in the afterword for the paperback edition of Pivot in 2017 the
following year. Here’s an excerpt:
"My guiding principle now is faith in flow, a reminder that helps me trust
the natural cycles of tension and release, hustle and flow, grit and grace.
I listen for what’s next, but try not to rush the answer.
If the Plant stage involves putting a pin in one’s desired destination a
year from now, entering my post-pivot rest mode was like hitting the
“current location” button in a maps app—it spun me back and helped me zoom
in on where I was right now, not someplace off in the future where I should
be.
In the words of my friend and fellow author Mitch Joel, instead of only
focusing on what’s next, we’d do well to reflect on the equally important
question: what’s now?"
