With podcasting still going strong, newsletters having their moment, and blogging still right there in the thick of it all, it sure feels like the internet is returning to its roots in a good way.

As Justin Jackson put it in a tweet: "The classic internet is back in style: mindful, slow pace. Less frenzy. Feels good."

We sure agree.

So this week on 7-Figure Small, we rounded up Chris Brogan and Darren Rowse, a couple of pioneers of the early internet, to join Brian Clark for a chat about what’s new, what’s different, and what’s the same as it ever was.

As always, we begin by kicking around some headlines and end by answering listener questions.

In between, during our main topic, Brian, Chris, and Darren go deep on:

• Their experience launching Third Tribe
• The power of virtual communities
• Why email remains so important
• Where podcasts fit within an overall content marketing strategy
• How curation has evolved

And much more.
