The Domino Project created a worldwide street team. AK Stout is one of the members of the team and Domino Project. The team consists of individuals who are on a mission to spread ideas to people who care. They are digital natives who blog, tweet, take risks, and care about reinventing outdated systems. They are part of the digital revolution in publishing and want to share their thoughts on Seth Godin's latest book "Poke The Box". Join Deb, AK and possibly a guest or two from the Domino Project as they discuss what does it really mean to "poke the box" and why does Godin say "the person who fails the most wins"? Share your thoughts on the Social Geek Radio Facebook page. Join us live by calling into the show Thursday 8pm CT/9pm ET or via the chat feature. Come "Poke the Box" with us.
