The Personal MBA meets the NoBS
Seth Godin (author of Purple Cow
Seth was the original inspiration for the Personal MBA, so it’s great to see his continued passion for changing the way people (and companies) approach education. He was also kind enough to feature the Personal MBA as an example of how “people in the real world buy how-to books to figure out how to succeed.” Thanks, Seth!
Side note: thank you all so much taking the time to answer my questions - the response was overwhelming, and it’ll take me a bit to synthesize your thoughts. I really appreciate your help!

Neat post, Josh. And so glad you brought my attention to this site. It’s a breath of fresh air to see so many individuals who are interested in rigorous self-improvement.
You’ve made a PMBA promponent out of me.
On a related note, my company is in the process of developing a book from the short essays, articles, and blog posts of the web’s most influential young entrepreneurs. I’ve already seen one of the contributors’ names in a blog entrey on this site - won’t say who just yet. But I’ll look forward to shooting you a copy just as soon as it’s off the press.
Best wishes to your continued success.

Yesterday’s post started a neat debate about entrepreneurship and the MBA. Today’s post highlights some of the more interesting points.
I’d be delighted if you - as well as my fellow Personal MBA’rs - would come back to brianlash.com to offer some of your own insights.
