ANECDOTE

Workman Publishing Dream

Seth Godin wanted to publish a book with Workman Publishing early in his career.
After a series of rejections, Workman offered to publish his book on stain removal, but he had already agreed to publish it with someone else.

ANECDOTE

Creating the Calendar

Seth Godin's Ship It calendar entries were initially too long for the format, requiring extensive editing from two large books.
He used Post-it notes to mark suitable entries and compiled them in a Google Sheet.

Reflections on work and life from entrepreneur, bestselling author, and speaker Seth Godin

About Seth Godin:

Seth Godin is an entrepreneur, best-selling author, speaker, and most of all, a teacher.

In addition to launching one of the most popular blogs in the world where he posts every single day (which you can find by typing “seth” into Google), he has written 21 best-selling books in nearly 40 languages, including The Dip, Linchpin, Purple Cow, Tribes, and What To Do When It's Your Turn (And It's Always Your Turn).

His book, This is Marketing (featured on episode 200 of The Marketing Book Podcast), was an instant bestseller worldwide.

His latest books are The Song of Significance and The Practice, both bestsellers.

Though renowned for his writing and speaking, Seth also founded two companies, Squidoo and Yoyodyne (acquired by Yahoo!).

He’s in the Guerrilla Marketing Hall of Fame, the Direct Marketing Hall of Fame and, just recently, the plain old no-modifier Marketing Hall of Fame. Which is pretty cool. He is probably the only person in all three.

In 2015, he created the altMBA, a 31-day online leadership workshop that now has 5,000 alumni in more than 75 countries. More than 60,000 people have taken his online courses, including The Marketing Seminar, and courses found on LinkedIn Learning and Udemy.

And interesting fact, he has taught hundreds of people how to juggle!
