Seth Godin (the “ruckus-maker”): how to change everything using marketing — and empathy
Interviewing Seth Godin on doing marketing (and the work) that truly matters and making a ruckus
“If you are not afraid, you are not doing anything important“ — Seth Godin.
A few months ago, when I was in New York working with Techstars, I had the opportunity to meet with Seth Godin to ask him the questions I had always wanted to ask him. This then turned into a podcast, and then a video that I will upload to the YouTube channel soon. It was time to meet the first person I started to follow and read, back in 2008. The professional who has marked me the most, personally and professionally speaking, in my whole life.
Seth Godin has one of the most powerful blogs on the Internet. He is a New York Times bestseller with his 19 books, translated into several languages. Seth is, objectively, possibly the best marketer in history. I wanted to chat with Seth on issues such as positive impact, how to make a difference, making things happen, and create important work.
This is a 5-minute interview where we talk about respect, change, leadership, education and disruption. In addition to his educational projects: altMBA and The Marketing Seminar. Seth also reveals things about his work, history and lifestyle.
“It is silly to think that to change things you must have a large number of followers on Instagram and have a great name on social networks“ — Seth Godin.
Disrupt Everything #85 — Seth Godin
“Search for people with thirst, ignore the rest“
This is the interview that I have wanted to do the most in my whole life. An episode where I interview Seth Godin, possibly the most shocking and recognized marketing guru in history. We address very diverse topics, from marketing and education to Seth’s life. Everything revolves around the idea of mounting big messes, of generating change, positive impact, being that troublemaker who moves things around.
I want you to vibrate, enjoy it, get inspired and learn as much as I learned.
