Who are the Boston Linchpins?
We're an amalgam of spirited, like-minded business professionals--and self-professed linchpins. As Godin devotees, we accepted Seth's call-to-action from his blog to help assemble a tribe for this once-in-a-lifetime, first-in-Boston experience
We would love to connect with you in real life or at one of our virtual homes. You can also email us at bostonlinchins@gmail.com. Hope to see you soon!
