The way I started thinking about middlemen initially was this very simple definition: the person who connects buyers and sellers in a marketplace. In my reporting I actually came across a more expansive and smarter definition. This came from a VC in the valley named Mike Maples. And he says “a middleman in a network is that node in a network that connects other nodes to increase the value of the network.” That’s looking at it from a more positive view and it’s obviously a network view. It’s really looking at the value of the person who is making those connections because not all middlemen can create value or can increase the value of the network. Even if they do they don’t necessarily help both parties enough to justify their cost. I really like that positive angle. Also, it’s so expansive that it goes beyond buyers and sellers. If I know somebody who I think you should meet, I can make that introduction. I’m a middleman who has improved the value of my network by making both people hopefully better off. – Marina KrakovskyMarina Krakovsky is a social science and business journalist with a degree from Stanford University, and author of The Middleman EconomyListener TribeWe have our own private social network for listeners of the Unmistakable Creative podcast.

Belief is what drives people’s decisions. This has to do with people’s desires. Their desires drive their beliefs and their beliefs drive their actions, period. It’s as simple as that and it’s as complex as that that because people are unaware of this. We are being pushed and pulled by our environment. We’re just trying to make it through the day: have a decent day, have nothing go wrong, and at the end of the day flip on Netflix. That’s what’s going on in the marketplace.

"Humans are emotional creatures. We all have the chance right now today to decide, and that word is so important, to decide to live a beautiful life, meaning no matter what’s going on. Don’t take my word for it. Victor Frankl, a holocaust survivor, this is all him, this is literally the message of his book Man’s Search for Meaning. When you decide to find something beautiful right now in the moment and this is somebody saying it from the perspective being in Auschwitz. When you can find purpose in what you’re going through, when you can find purpose in your suffering and you know why you’re doing this, then you really can have a fulfilling life regardless of the circumstances. If we all have to make that choice, we have to decide to live a beautiful life, we’re going do something incredible, then all of a sudden when you know what you’re trying to accomplish, when you have a specific vision for what you’re trying to make of this world, why it’s beautiful to you, and why it’s worth all the fight, all of a sudden you become incredibly resourceful, and that purpose, having a sense of significance and meaning in your life, for whatever reason we’re hardwired to find real fulfillment in that." - Tom BilyeuTom Bilyeu is Co-founder and president of Quest Nutrition, and guides the company's culture of passion and transformation.Listener TribeWe have our own private social network for listeners of the Unmistakable Creative podcast.
