Seth Godin

You guys have to give YOURSELVES a pat on the back on this one. I’ve interviewed Seth on the show twice (here and here), and so I reached out to you guys for questions/topics you wanted him to discuss on his third go around on The Rise To The Top. Holy wow did questions come in. 642 questions to be exact. Now, of course, I wasn’t able to ask all 642 (hah!) but I was able to narrow them down into the following categories of awesome: Seth’s writing process and blogging (oh wow, does he reveal some stuff here) Books and publishing, including Seth’s “biggest failure” as an author (really interesting) and his trio of new books – The Icarus Deception: How High Will You Fly?, V Is for Vulnerable: Life Outside the Comfort Zone, and Whatcha Gonna Do with That Duck?: And Other Provocations, 2006-2012 (Amazon affiliate links). Productivity and relationships (how does he get so much freakin’ done and how does he keep up with high-powered relationships in his life?) Inspiration and ideas (you won’t believe what Seth says when I ask him about what kinds of books he reads for inspiration) …and much more. I’m so excited to bring this to you it is hard to even type these notes. This is a MUST watch/listen. TRUST me. Watch/Listen below and let me know what you think in the comments.

Smarter, Faster, Cheaper Entrepreneurship: An Interview With Seth Godin If there is ever an interview that contains zero fluff, it is this one. Seth Godin. The man, the myth, the legend. One of the top marketers of all time, one of my top business heroes and a personal mentor to me (whether he knows it or not) was nice enough to take time today to help all of us entrepreneurs. Seth is not here to give any of us a step-by-step, paint-by-the-numbers road map, but instead to challenge, inspire and offer some absolutely killer ideas on how you can become an indispensable linchpin. Plus, he has a cool office. In this interview: -Seth’s views on how the business world is changing and how you can become irreplaceable. -Are you an entrepreneurs or a freelancer? (My FAVORITE point of the interview). -His thoughts on building a community. -Are you working or wasting time? -Why you should not care how Seth creates/works and instead worry about how you create/work. -Seth mentions a few people in this video. One of them being Venture Capitalist Fred Wilson. For more on Seth, of course visit his blog (click on his head) and check out his Internet company Squidoo and try your hand at creating a lens on your favorite subject. Must Read Books: Do yourself a favor and pick up all of Seth’s books starting with Linchpin (amazon link) which I finished recently on your Kindle. Great views on the relationship of art, entrepreneurship and… Read More
