TMBA 689: Re-visiting Our Conversation with Seth Godin
Today's guest has been massively influential on Dan and Ian from the very start of their journey.
Seth Godin is something of a legend in entrepreneurial circles, and he hardly needs an introduction.
His books about marketing, creativity, building companies and personal development include Purple Cow, Meatball Sundae, The Dip, and Linchpin. They are frequent recommendations on this podcast and have long been shared among our listeners.
In addition, Seth has founded an intensive four-week alternative online MBA called altMBA. He has also created several podcasts including the popular Startup School and Akimbo.
Today's show features a wide-ranging interview, which touches on a variety of topics including Seth's history as a writer and podcaster, what the business world can offer society, and much more.
Listen and learn:
What motivated Seth to start Akimbo
Why Seth focuses so much on the idea of not adhering to social norms
Advice for entrepreneurs who are considering selling their business
The story behind Startup School and why it remains relevant today
Where the 1,000 True Fans business model can go wrong
