Summary

In this episode of The Unmistakable Creative, Seth Godin returns to the show to discuss his new book, It’s Your Turn.

Leveraging books as a tool to change the people around you
Writing a book that begs to be shared and gets under people’s skin
The choice between creative or cog that we’re always making
Why we must be willing to be wrong to do work that matters
How the connection economy rewards people
Our search for reassurance and how to stop it
Learning to take your work seriously and not personally
The mythical time when we think we’ll be ready
A look at what school is actually for
