You added an important depth of discussion to the podcast to help people apply David's ideas in their lives. Your ability to bring out and enhance ideas for those who may not be in business or marketing is uncanny. Our podcast is valuable to a wide audience because of your insight. -Michael Dr. Paul, thank you for having me on your show.

David's insight about spreading ideas virally is incredible. I thoroughly enjoyed participating in the podcast. I agree with your comment about the similarities "The Tipping Point" has with David's ideas (I read it a few years back). It focuses on how trends come about in amazing ways. One of the things I love about David's book is he helps us understand how we can be the driver behind the trends; how we can make it happen. -Michael Jamee, Thank you for listening to the podcast.

If you like this concept, I recommend his book as well. -Jamee Adams One more thing- I recently read Malcolm Gladwell’s “Tipping Point” which discusses the viral epidemic from a broader and more social viewpoint, but with a very similar thread.

I especially appreciated the idea that one small thing can create an epidemic (to use Scott's viral analogy). What a great way to create value for others by giving "freely" of oneself and still enjoy exponential returns. Thanks! Jamee Adams Michael, excellent podcast.

You can always find something to keep you busy and the 'busi-ness' can drive your life if you let it. I love the idea of setting a goal to meet with at least one customer a month. That leads to good habits that will lead to the golden nuggets of information you need to have great products. Michael Ivan, I agree that time often becomes the inhibitor to getting out and meeting with customers.

I just posted something very similar to this on my blog and as a comment on Gopal's blog (they are related posts, but not identical). Personally, I fall prey to problem #2 (time). It's pretty easy to get swallowed up by meetings, documentation reviews, and all the other daily tasks associated with being a PM. I recently set a goal for myself to meet with a customer at least once a month and printed out a list of local customers to start with. When I go to trade shows, I'll try to work in some customer visits/conversations there, too. Not every customer visit garners a gold nugget, but there's a ton of untapped info out there...you just have to go get it. Ivan http://www.theproductologist.com I couldn’t agree more.
