This episode is hands-down the most popular episode of Branding Matters ever - and for good reason. I had the incredible privilege of sitting down with the one and only Seth Godin — the iconic branding guru and author behind 21 international bestsellers. His books, translated into 38 languages, include timeless classics like Tribes, Purple Cow (one of my personal favourites), Linchpin, The Dip, and This Is Marketing, among many others. His newest release, The Song of Significance: A New Manifesto for Teams, continues to inspire leaders around the world.
Seth also writes one of the most widely read marketing blogs on the planet, and his TED Talks rank among the most viewed of all time.
In this unforgettable conversation, we dig into topics that every brand builder, marketer, and leader will benefit from — from open hiring and the importance of meaningful work to the dangers of false proxies and what it truly means to make a difference.
If you care about leadership, purpose, and building brands that matter, this is one you’ll want to listen to (or re-listen to).
