Summary

Seth Godin is an incredible human. He’s an author of 18, yes that's right, 18 best-selling books. He is an entrepreneur, a guru in marketing, and writes a post every day on his blog which has been noted as one of the top marketing blogs on the internet. Seth's most current focus is his course called the altMBA focused on developing high-powered thinkers and leaders.

One of the things I like best about Seth is when he says something, it’s like lasers - it's so clear and just makes sense. In this episode, you'll hear why Seth refuses to give tips and tactics and instead would rather teach us how to see. We dig into failure and rejection, and understanding our impact by viewing it through the lens of "would they miss you if you're gone".

Enjoy!
