Brought to you by two great minds and nothing else. Just sayin
thats dope. hes radically changed my trajectory as well.
"I don't need to buy another thing...I need to find something to care about". 🏆🌎
When I’m wealthy I’ll say that too
My wife and I have (almost) all of Seth's books. This CZcams interview will be watched a lot by us. My wife has become a published author largely due to Seth's prompting. I moved from being in a tech start up to running a woodworking business for the same reason. Each sentence from Seth could be a hook to hang an entire book on. Absolute treasure and not just a national one.
As someone who also has most of Seth’s books this is awesome to read. Hope the woodworking business is going well!
Well said.
@@ryancovel thanks buddy. It's about exactly the amount of slog I expected but progress is happening and that's encouraging. I have a framed slogan from the back of a promo book I bought from Seth years ago that says, "Yesterday is over. Tomorrow is too late. And now is exactly the right time. So start." That keeps me going.
@@alexreid4131 Love that! Best of luck
I might add... ¨One sentence from Seth could be a hook to transform a life¨
I'm a 72 yo, found community band about 5 years ago. It's very important and fulfilling for me.
Community theater has been a rock in my life for years now. I think that the key in both of these is the word "community". And the fact that no one is there trying to make a living; they're there as amateurs in the most true sense (which has the same root as amour, love), doing something they love.

Go and 🎉
Finding Seth’s lectures on CZcams during the pandemic has completely changed my life❤
How so
I’m exactly Seth’s age, same day, same year. I have yet to mourn the loss of my youth in a significant manner. I think that over the years I’ve learned how to consider ageing in a strategic manner. I’ve experienced a lot of deaths of friends and family, particularly in my 50-60’s, and it’s taught me a lot more about myself - my limits, my fears, and curiously, what’s possible for me at 63. On our shared birthday I began a new phase in my life - amping up my physical conditioning through what I term as controlled adversity. I’m accomplishing this through cycling. Sure, there are activities I’ve identified as things I’ll never do again, but I’ve begun to consider those things in the same regard as any other past memory…not worthy of dwelling on or investing any energy in grieving. Instead, I’ve learned that instead of slacking off that this is my time to amp it up. For me, this means identifying an area of physical endurance, strength, and speed in which I can execute with a high degree of ability. I believe that “adversity shows you to yourself in ways that ease cannot.” In this manner, I understand what David Goggins means when he says “we only use about 40% of our capacity.” With this hypothesis in mind, I have designed what I describe as “controlled adverse conditions” (CAC’s) that work very well both physically and psychologically because the two are inextricably connected. These CAC’s will be unique to each individual because you begin where you are and work incrementally to push yourself beyond your perceived limits. I’ve learned more about myself during these times, both positive and not-so-positive, as well as assessing the value of these learning opportunities in a comprehensive manner after the experience, than I’ve ever learned from purely positive experiences. Why? Because they are empowering! I choose the terms of my engagement. I chose the date, time, duration, and level of difficulty. I chose to push myself beyond my limits as I chased a stronger, tougher, faster, more resourceful version of me. It’s interesting…because you always work best when riding in the slipstream of someone ahead of you, never the rider behind you. If you are going to be in a chase group, AT ANY AGE, why not chase your own best example? It works for me! I’m also an author and blogger and I guess I’ve just written my next blog post here! 😊 Thanks, gents, for being my inspiration today!
Watching this podcast I can't help but think of the book "From Strength to Strength". So many golden nuggets here and there I picked up from this interview.
This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my CZcams channel 9 months ago about self development. Now I have 1,594 subs and > 1,000 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I could haven’t learned without getting started in the 1st place.
It is 3am and I just finished listening to this. I thought I will fall asleep listening to this but Seth never failed to make me stay "woke" Thanks Tim and Seth! Good night!
This video is a gem. Seth Godin is in another level of thinking...
Can’t be more grateful to see Mr. Godin back on the pod again. Love you both! 👾🌹
a lot of gold in here ❤ thanks for sharing
This is definitely my favorite interview with Seth. I love the direction he’s taking now. As someone who’s been in marketing for 15 years (and read half of his books), I can totally relate to everything here. Love this, thank you both for the insight, the inspiration, and yet another to do list. ❤
The bee story and see the woman author made me cry
Two of my favorite people doing what they do. Thanks!
One of the best podcasts I've listened to from Tim's channel. I replayed it three times over three days.
I agree with Seth's views on Zig Ziggler as well. I came across the quote in my marketing 101 class. Written in my sketchbook too. Help sure, but without any expectations for something in return. Just be a good human.
Out of these two I’m not sure which one I love more. I love both of them dearly. X
5:07 this was no rant, it was a gold nugget, a book idea, advice applicable to anyone❤
I followed Seth back to Tim. Great convergence of great minds
I hear Tim Ferris podcast reference on many podcasts and finally when I watch the original Tim Ferris podcast, it exceeds my expectations. This podcast is PHENOMENAL and if the whole globe can watch this free, what better service can one do to humanity ?
Thank you.
Seth Godin! My goodness what an icon and inspiration. I saw him 10 years ago on a lecture called “The Purple Cow” and I’ve been paying attention to him more.
He gave me the greatest advice on business which was: Solve interesting problems, but real problems. Then sell your solution.
A bee's diary is a very good documentary about bee life. So cool that you talk about it. Thanks. You brought me a new vision of it and added me a lot of human value😊
Listening Seth always gives me a brighter perspective about the future.
Wonderful conversation to be listened over and over again.
Great interview, Tim! Seth is an amazing thought leader. I have a number of his books and they have enriched my life. Thank you 🙏🏼
Seth Godin is an underrated genius and he's got a vast warehouse of anecdotal useful stories that is as big as whatever ChatGPT version is currently available.
This was mind blowingly good. Will have to listen to a few more times to get them to stick.
Thanks Seth and Tim, you’re both awesome, value-adding, individuals
Amazing podcast... Thank you sir.. Respect from India 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for sharing this information, your time and yourselves.
This podcast is so full of ❤
Thank you for your video!

Seth was such an excellent guest!
False proxies ... powerful , insightful

Love you brothers!!!
Seth is definitely the goat...
Great conversation
Seth is the GOAT! Would love to have some of his Legendary coffee some day :)
Legendary interview, can't wait to talk with Seth soon
You’ll talk to him soon? Wow! For real? How?
Seth is wonderful. Hmmmm I can cook dinner!!!
Just amazing! ❤
@SethGodin where can we get a template for "Page 19" process?
Chapters please 🙏
I just here for the hype : )))))
I am glad I saw this. I feel like among my processes of recovery are the messages from consumer marketing institutions, although I suppose not all of the took root. Many of my beliefs are of unknown origin. As I explore my beliefs and their origins I find my belief exist to support things I don't want to support. My agency was taken from me before I understood that agency existed. Many things that I believe are facts have origins in ad campaigns, an example might be "Carbon Footprint" or a belief that recycling helps. My city is required by my state to have a recycling program which produces raw materials that have no value and no market. There is a company "Wren" that helps individuals reduce their carbon footprint, Isn't that pointless after coming to understand BP paid an advertising firm to invent and promote the concept in oder to make privileged people feel guilty.
I bought the carbon book. I hope it will help with finding ways to help not ways to relieve guilt, built by the "marketing" that made Seth Godin and interesting person.
Been seeing AI spam SO MUCH since 2019, at least, I haven't really been using anything else besides CZcams and Spotify and I ignore every comment now, can't imagine what it will turn into
AI can help with the script especially during this strike 😂
10:13 PSYchologists 29:00 marketing
5:54 - the end of the world?
11:10 - where I'm at rn
Such a great insight/comment about the end of the world chatter!
Same old story; SPAM SAM SPAM SPAM spam spam spam spam... : ))))))))
You two are cracking me up. : ))))
Is Tim Ferris having a mid life crisis? First time tuning into his podcasts after several years, his recent interviews have been much more introspective and philosophical compared to his podcasts from the early to mid 2010s.
I was a fan of Seth and his Purple Cow for some time when he launched Squidoo. I was just getting interested in blogging, and I joined Squidoo right at the start. I made plans, reserved some “Lenses” around the topics of wine & travel, and started outlining my content.
Before I even posted anything two of my lenses were flagged by the admins for “adult content” outside of their guidelines, and my lenses were blocked.
…..there was no content, adult or otherwise. I tried a while to fix it, and then just gave up.
Fairly quickly after that I lost my enthusiasm for the Seths’ whole spiel and stopped paying attention.
I love ferris.....but hes missing the women, the children. Meaning comes from - survival.....reproducing a generation that can survive into the future ( think gardening, perrenials)....its women who nuture, raise, teach....the next generation has power to vote in no time. ....yet this country abandons its children for money.....for consumption. Ferris is so out of balance. I'll listen, but it's still male, ego-centric ....not community building. Still all about the numbers.
Cool opinion, there’s a lot here
Nice feel good talk but no applicable to the working class. Change and meaning don't pay the bills bud. Nice positivity porn tho
Boring Seth
this is not for you, pal
and that's totally fine
Seth's ok, that Ferris wheel won't shutdown
And yet, you're electively listening 😊
Tim Ferris, stop your silly little jokes and your giggles, you're not funny and it detracts from the great stuff and platform you do have
Wow! You really didn’t listen. I loved his jokes and giggles! Please take you bad arretier and harmful words elsewhere! Thank you!
@@NormenGazeheeeeheehaaaahaaaaheeeeheeeehaaa, I use to go to sleep
@@NormenGaze "harmful words"?? come on! --that's constructive criticism. And even it weren't, why would you want it removed? Yours is exactly the vile, poisonous and detrimental attitude that is abetting and contributing to censorship and attacks on free speech that is running rampant online and in real world today.
and his questions can be 17 minutes long!
And yet, here you are listening?😊
18:00 ...no, Tim, no; not the longest of all time--you HAVE asked longer, much, much longer, unfortunately.
