In this episode, we break down our biggest takeaways from Seth Godin\u2019s bestselling book  This Is Marketing and explore why educators are actually uniquely positioned to thrive in this new era of marketing. If marketing is the act of making change happen, then teachers and leaders have been marketers their entire careers. We unpack five powerful ideas from the book, including serving the smallest viable market, why authenticity isn\u2019t the goal, and how culture is strategy, and connect each one directly to the strengths educators already have. Along the way, we share the moment our own relationship with marketing shifted, and why building community changed everything for us. If you\u2019ve ever thought, \u201cI just don\u2019t want to do marketing,\u201d this conversation will reframe it entirely and leave you with practical action steps you can use right away in your consulting or leadership work.
