I got an email from Ray Edwards entitled “the “sliced bread” lecture”

I hit the link in the email and started to watch a 17 min video. It features Seth Godin. You know that guy that figured out that site named Squidoo?

You can watch the video below. He talks about some very cool concepts and some you may find pretty weird.

Below you will find some phrases that I thought were real gems that I picked out of the video. If you listen carefully you can fill in the whole meaning. Have fun!
