Hi John:

Thanks for your observations. I believe your points were clear and well thought out. I didn't mean to hit too close to home, as I too produce a great deal of content. That said, my thoughts were meant not only as a challenge to others, but also to myself to make sure that the content we're creating is not just a rehashing of outdated theory, and not just for the purposes of making a buck.

Is our content valuable, credible, innovative, original, actionable, and serving a purpose other than just adding to the noise? Are we developing the practice of leadership and in the process helping to mold better leaders, or are we just pushing more hype into the market to expand a revenue stream?

My feeling is that those simply trying to build a business are the ones missing the larger opportunity of creating an impact and a legacy. Those that contribute to the latter will achieve the former, but I don't believe the inverse to be true.

Thanks again for adding to the conversation John...
