| Monday, June 4, 2018 MarketVolt’s Monday Mash-Up I’m Watching… Two Great, Inspiring Movies… Seventy-eight years ago today, the British completed the “Miracle of Dunkirk,” saving 338,226 allied troops who were about to be pushed into the sea by Nazis advancing in France. The rescue flotilla was comprised of more than 800 vessels including private fishing boats and pleasure craft operated by brave civilians. Two recent movies tell the story: “Dunkirk” and “Churchill.” I highly recommend both films. I’m Listening To… Great Reporting from Coal Country Beginning in early 2017, NPR sent a team of reporters to Appalachian coal country. The result: A series of in-depth reports broadcast as part of the Embedded podcast. Fascinating, informative, surprising coverage of a fascinating and important issue. I’m Also Listening To… Seth Godin’s New Podcast I love Seth Godin. For those who don’t know him, here’s a short bio from his podcast site:SETH GODIN is the author of 18 books that have been bestsellers around the world and have been translated into more than 35 languages. He writes about the post-industrial revolution, the way ideas spread, marketing, quitting, leadership and most of all, changing everything. You might be familiar with his books Linchpin, Tribes, The Dip and Purple Cow.His new podcast, launched in February, is called Akimbo, and it’s great.

Speaking of Seth Godin From MakretVolt’s Blog Archive: Why Email Works In a 2015 interview, Godin explained why he prefers email marketing to keep in touch with his followers. We summarize the key points from that interview in this blog post which is as pertinent today as it was three years ago. Two Quotes from Winston Churchill “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” “A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.” *** Any reading, listening, quoting, resourcing that you think we should share?
