Seth Godin

Seth Godin is an incredible marketer, author and agent of change. What I think makes him so crazily respected is how he can break down such fundamental concepts in business, marketing, about you and how the world is run into such easy to understand bites.

He’s in the business of sharing ideas, and getting you to do the same thing. There’s three ways he’s communicating with you:

Seth’s Blog

Almost everyday, Seth writes one or two short blog posts explaining another idea. It’s read by hundreds of thousands of people every day. It's excellent.

Seth’s Books

I love Seth’s books. They’re written to be short, simple and easy to understand. They make you feel smart in the one evening it takes to read them and “get it”. Each one of his books centres around one kind of idea, and features a hundred or so mini-essays on a topic relating to that idea. Its ‘salami-sliced’ already for you.

Also, because they’re not giant books, they’re quite affordable too. Here’s a brief rundown of just some of my favourite books he’s written.

• Tribes - Connect people around an idea and go make change. A great book on leading people to make a difference.
• Purple Cow - In marketing, you have to be *remarkable*, kinda like a Purple Cow. A marketers must-read book.
• The Dip - When to quit and when to stick. How and when quitting helps you (and this book really has helped me!)
• Linchpin - The Linchpin is the person who stands up to the people taking and giving orders and share ideas, create change and invent. You must become a Linchpin.
• Permission Marketing - I can’t sell you something without your permission. A marketing classic that paved the way for the modern email and direct marketing industry.

Seth’s Talks

He’s also a really good speaker, so take a look at some of these videos. I’ve embedded some of my favourite, better quality videos from across the interwebs. The great thing is, you can probably go out and find just as many awesome Seth Godin talks - probably more.
