The Story of Three “Win”sThe Winner’s Circle

Seth is an artist and a gift-giver. He wins because his ideas win.

They spread, they have an impact, and they inspire Seth’s tribe.

A win for Seth’s Tribe is a win for Seth

While Seth is already a “winner,” he he likes to run up the score since there are no losers

Winner1 Seth Godin

Seth is his tribe’s leader, and the tribe is moved by his ideas. Their connection to Seth and his ideas is what connects

them to each other and makes them a tribe. Members of Seth’s Tribe do crazy things with his ideas.

They study themuse them preach themsometimes endure long bus rides across

India just to hear them

Seth’s TribeWinner2

Seth’s Tribe is large, and their existence as a Tribe is an inspiring testament to the power of print and electronic media to facilitate the creation of such tribes

But Seth’s Tribe isn’t made up of “virtual” people that exist only on the internet. And just like real people, they like to interact with each other face to face

About Seth’s Tribe

But personal interaction for Seth’s Tribe can be difficult…

… because the Tribe is EVERYWHERE!(92+ countries and counting…)

…why let pesky geography get in the way of personal interaction?

Why We AreEvolution of Conversation on the Web

New technologies make it possible for people to engage like never before. Thanks go to modern programming

languages and peer-to-peer technology.

Jesse and Nat both graduated from Brown University in 2008. Jesse decided to be practical and concentrated in Philosophy. In those same four years, Nat earned a B.A. in Religious Studies and an M.A. in Environmental Science. Both have an irresistible passion for startup entrepreneurship, new technologies, and how to save the world.

Currently traveling India while pursuing his passion for entrepreneurship full-time from his laptop. May or may not have shaved his head because he thought it would make him smarter. (Wonder who he got that idea from.)

Nat is a Financial Associate for the Clinton Climate Initiative. After spending two years in Bangkok he recently relocated to Australia, where he exerts emotional labor using an oil lamp and dial-up internet in the wee hours of the night.
