Just over a year ago, I started this project. To write 365 blog posts. It took a little longer than I thought. Instead of 12 months, it took me 15 months. Still, not bad. I wrote more posts in the last 15 months than I had written in the previous 13 years! Wow. Seth Godin…
I subscribe to Seth Godin’s blog. He’s been posting daily for decades. It’s amazing. I don’t read every post. But I read today’s post. About chocolate. And I went down a chocolate rabbit hole. I had no idea that a lot of the world’s chocolate is produced using slave labour. And child labour. Or if…
I love listening to audio books. I started doing it years ago when we would drive to Montreal. They helped keep me awake on the long trip. Like TV, I find it hard to drift off if I’m listening to something. The library is a great source of audio books. And now that you can…
In Seth Godin’s book The Icarus Deception, he uses the myth of Icarus as an analogy for moving beyond the status quo. To become an artist and partake of the communication currency. But something Seth said about the myth struck me. One of the most interesting things about the myth of Icarus is something that…
Whenever I hear about Writer’s Block, I think of Seth Godin. He dismisses the idea of Writer’s Block by saying that you never hear about someone having Talker’s Block. Somehow, someway, we always find something to talk about when we’re with other people. And writing is the same way. If you imagine you’re communicating with…
A little over a week ago, I spoke about Seth Godin’s Ship It calendar. I had been expecting it to provide me with some jumping off topics for blog posts. But I found that wasn’t the case. It wasn’t that the notes weren’t interesting. I just didn’t feel inspired to riff on them or pass…
One of the things that inspired me to challenge myself to write a blog post a day was Seth Godin’s Ship It Calendar. Seth frequently says that people should blog every day. Easier said than done. But I thought I could use his calendar as a jumping off point for some posts. I figured that…
Is this my year to ship? To ship regularly? I bought myself the Seth Godin Ship It desk calendar. In the hopes that it would inspire me to be more productive. Yesterday’s entry had a QR code that opened to an interview that Seth had with Marie Forleo a few years ago. I had seen…
Wow. Thirty Days passed faster than I thought they would. Yesterday was my thirtieth day of shipping. I can relax. And you won’t overwhelmed with too much content. It’s funny. When the year began, I hoped to write a post a week. In fact, I wanted to write 58 posts in my 58th year. But…
I was going through my notes from Seth Godin’s Marketing seminar and found a link to a blog post of his from 2009. It’s called “Guy #3”. The post has a link to a video from the Sasquatch music festival and shows a spontaneous dance mob forming. Seth’s point is that until Guy #3 joined…
