Is Baldness An Advantage?
Seth Godin has talked about the advantage of being bald before, that it "is a cooling mechanism, and no sense overheating the cranium." These 3 marketers could be said to be proof of that.
But whether or not baldness is truly an advantage, they are still 3 people you should be following as long as you're a marketer.

Seth Godin
I mentioned Seth Godin in the opening paragraph, and what list of marketers would be complete without him.Godin's achievements are endless. He was once the Vice President of Permission Marketing at Yahoo. He is the multiple-time bestselling author and the writer of the world's most popular marketing blog. Many of the common marketing terms used today were introduced by him - including permission marketing, purple cow, ideavirus (from which came the idea of viral marketing). Recently, he has even been made into an action figure.
He has the uncanny natural talent of explaining the complex in really simple terms, using many examples from all around. And his lessons stretch beyond marketing - they can be applied in almost anything you do.
Seth Godin, to me, is one of the most intelligent people on the Internet. He's got great insights, that everyone can gain from. If you only read or follow one person, you can't go wrong with him. For more about him, check out his lens on Squidoo.

Derrick,
Very informative, really cool lens. I really appreciate the fact that you have a lot of different conversation starters on the page, and aside from that - it's about three marketers I have the utmost respect for. 5 Stars!
