The "R" in HubSpot's culture acronym "HEART" stands for "Remarkable," but the word isn't just a stand-in for "awesome" or "great." We really mean it -- we like to surround ourselves with people whose work and attitude are so exceptional they prompt remarks.
Marketing guru Seth Godin is also a firm believer in standing out (have you seen his glasses?). Both in his writing and speaking, he extols the value of being different and marching to the beat of your own drummer. From Godin's perspective, it doesn't matter what you do as long as you do it differently -- and better -- than everyone else.
If you need a push to blaze your own bold trail, get inspired by the following quotes from Godin. And if you'd like to learn more from the man behind the remarkable yellow glasses, register to see him speak at INBOUND15.
