Chris Brogan is one of my favorite people, and I’m far from the only one who feels that way.
While renown for his online prowess, that’s not how he built his business. He did it through building relationships. Technology has simply been one platform he has used in order to accomplish that.
His newest book is, The Freaks Shall Inherit The Earth: Entrepreneurship for Weirdos, Misfits, and World Dominators. It provides terrific advice on how those who don’t see themselves as part of the crowd can tap into their true authentic nature and create immense value; especially for those whose needs and desires make for a very natural connection.
And, in this brief but powerful (and, with Chris, ALWAYS entertaining) chat, Chris shows us that there’s a method to the madness…especially where freaks are concerned. 🙂
Enjoy…
What were your biggest takeaways from this discussion? Any surprises? Does the word, “monchu” provide you with any ideas of what you might need to do in order to build that sense of connection with those you want to serve?

This was awesome hope in a message for us non- traditional thinkers. Being a cop I don’t have some skill sets needed to build a business. I have mentally started to think as you say about what is it, you really do? Bob and Chris your conversation hits this nail on the head , get out of mud explaining your business…I help people stay safe in their community…would for instance be crossover for me. In my business I am still trying to define that but with these powerful tools you have given , I have fodder to build it bulletproof. I love the idea of having a culture around me that fits like a glove…keeps it genuine. Thanks guys for “real practical success nuggets for us entrepreneurs. Keep rocking!!!
John: Thank you for your feedback. I’m so glad you enjoyed Chris’ wisdom. He’s helped so many of us to have more successful, fulfilling businesses. And, with your law enforcement background you have a natural connection point with a lot of people. The skill sets can be learned. Great to have you as part of our blog community, John!
Hey Bob! How art thou brother? I AM an absolute “book freak” if I’m freakish about anything. I”M definitely picking up this book at some point in the near future.
Chris’s book title may well give it’s reading “top priority”. I AM super selective about “who” I see as my “munchu”, or is it “monchu” family.. intriguing word that! haha!
Love the concept of the book; thoroughly enjoyed the interview with Chris. I’ve tweeted the interview to my modest following. ~ b.t.w. I search diligently for “tweet worthy” tweets to serve my followers; this was a “no-brainer”.
Thanks so much,

Peter: Thank you for your very kind words about the interview. I have a feeling you’re going to really LOVE Chris’ book once you read it. The wisdom he provided in the interview was the tiny tip of the iceberg. And, thank you for the tweets. Much gratitude!
