- In this interview with Marie Forleo, Seth Godin explains why your work needs a practice, and why that means accepting that not everything you create will be your best. If you want to do work you love? You must choose to love what you do.
Seth explains, “It’s so much easier to find meaning in what we do than to go shopping around, hoping we find something that gives us meaning.” Watch the full interview for Seth’s advice on how to define whether your work is good, why writer’s block is a myth, and why authenticity is a trap. Plus - a rare peek into his own prolific practice for writing daily posts for Seth’s Blog!
Seth Godin has started several successful companies, taught millions of people, and left his mark on our creative culture. He’s the author of 19 international bestsellers translated into more than 35 languages, including “Tribes,” “Purple Cow,” “Linchpin,” “The Dip,” and “This Is Marketing.” He also has one of the most popular blogs in the world. He’s the founder of Alt MBA and the Akimbo workshops, which are online seminars that have transformed the work of thousands of people. His latest book is “The Practice: Shipping Creative Work.”

It will help with true engagement and will be rewarded by the algoritme. Kind regards!
"Writer's block actually is fear of bad writing." This is so real! Great interview. Thanks Marie and Seth.
"It's not a race for credit. It's a race for contribution." Seth Godin 💞Marvelous.
“It’s for someone.” Stunning.
One of my take-aways: "The only way to do it better is to begin"
My favorite quote was "the path forward is about curiosity, generosity, and connection. These are the three foundations of art." It also helped to think about who my audience is and that it is not for everyone.
Yes curiousity about what could happne of I start. Many atones that we have outlined a blog and be surprised what our thoughts produce as we write. Thays curiosity. Again its about the ruckis we can create in the world and the feedbacks we could get. Or maybe the work will make the world a better place.
But theen its generosity to give our time and attention and energy wrapped up in our work that will give the world. Even if we bill for it, its not the money that bring iut the art, its just that we are genrous.
Connection as the third part is the most important part. It is thr main reasin we write,speak,shoot or paint but if comes at last. And when it comes , if brings magic,lo e and life.
Thus art = curiousity+ generosity+ connections
I loved how he sighs at the end and says “you know how lonely this work is” - so human! And inspiring.
Amazing that CZcams's algorithm found this video for me. As a perfectionist and an architect/designer/patent creator, found this video inspiring - Thank you ! Looking forward to reading the book ....
We are often afraid of the messy first draft- perfectionism! Or we are afraid of the messy middle when the finish line seems awfully far away. "When you're tired, learn to rest- not to stop."- unknown
I remember those days of writing where i would lock myself into a room and STARE at my screen until i finished an article. It took six months to get a "flow". From 8 hours to 2 hours. Great advice. Love it, Marie.
This is exactly what I need to hear. I am going through hard times with a lot of thinking, less actions, hesitation....and all this freeze me and keep me procrastinating.
Thank you very much.
Needed to hear this too! 🙏🏼❤️
“Show up and do the work, regardless of how we are feeling and the what is happening in the world around us.” Needed to hear that along with “half of what you produce is going to be less than average”💕
Most times, we dont know that our art and work is te most important tjing in life. Politics,pandemic, family and unnecessary entertainment take pre edence over our work.
It is cery important to see this creatuve work as the most important most enduring work.
Later in the talk, Seth talks about short term disappointment is the best of generosity. It is never an act of insensitivity to disregard politics and all other instant mass media frenzy and do the work.
Thank you for this insight.
I was supposed to hear this today. Had an epic fail for my art that I was submitting for a juried show. Supplies showed up a week late and damaged, could not transfer my vision to reality and the deadline was firm. I am going back in to see if I can re-work the art. That’s what a professional does. Thank you! 🙏👍💕
This is great 😂
Today I wrote a thoudand words blog and my laptop crashed as soon as I was about to save and publish.
Very painful but then I remembered thay that redoing some things make thr art better. More over, i remeber Seth will say art is not for us or for our ego.
The part where there's always a good excuse to not do the work, so commit to doing the work no matter what comes up. This is really key, especially in these difficult times.
I'm really loving the organic quality of these quarantine interviews. There's something so raw, rich and deconstructed that feels like music to the soul. I really like Seth's steadfast points on doing the work, practicing, being average and showing generosity just to make things better for others. Sweet interview Marie!
Marie and Seth together is a DREAAAAM. So good!
Thank you Marie and Seth.
"You have everything you need to make magic." I love this. Such a kind hearted man.
What a beautiful conversation this is! Seth is spot on about "authenticity" at work. But when you're in the social realm, authenticity is power. At work, it's laziness.
Practice, practice, practice! Easier said than done but definitely worth it. Let's get our goals everyone.
It was rally great to hear speaking both Marie and Seth in this episode of Marie TV! My favourite was...show up and do the work regardless of how you feel...Authenticity, we want the surgeon to do his best work and not be authentic...and....Permission that a regularly posted blog does not have to be always my best. Thank you!💕
Love and respect Seth, he is such a gem for the humankind.Highly admire this Man!! Thanks Marie for bringing him in for conversation.
I love what Seth is saying, "It's better together." I have 3 accountability coaches, and 2 of them are building like me, so it is fantastic to support others and RECEIVE support!
I am grateful to you all. Thank you Marie&The Awesome Team!
I have binge watched and read anything of Seth's I can get a hold of. I love this. It resonates with me. I love his spirit. Thank you for another one of these talks. I'm going to get my behind back to my desk and write.
Great interview. Seth's advice about connecting with a small group of people who are also doing creative work sticks with me. So important to find people to share feedback and keep one another accountable.
Thank you for sharing this, Marie and Seth.
"You have everything you need to make magic. You always have" OMG
I love how Seth writing comes across to me as a swift kick of motivation is a warm open and welcoming away. Most people see motivation as a chance to yell and tuff love people into action.
Then only intensifies fear.
With Seth it is ok to jump off the cliff and take flight not knowing if we are going to crash or flight to New hights
What resonated with me most was "what is it for? Who is it for?" Reminding me to never loose site of the big picture. Thanks Marie and Seth for this x
Art is neve about us. Thays why I love it.
It always transcend us even wheb we gone.
Same here
So lovely to see you both, glad you are healthy and thriving in these crazy times. BOUGHT THE KINDLE EDITION during the INTRO- so excited!!!!
“Focusing the work on someone else.”
I have always felt this about my writing, but have never heard it spoken out loud. Thank you both! 🙏🏻
“Writers block is fear of bad writing.” - Seth Godin
When you turn it into a habit you will have the discipline to get things done. Imagine that you are an employee, does someone care if you feel okay or not? Nope. You will have to show up on your work place otherwise you will be fired. Why are you willing to "sacrifice" yourself for someone else but not yourself?
This is a great way to see it. While you can create an imaginary master ,it is better to create an accou tabiliy partner instead.
I will lie to know hownpractocal ways to really feel I am working for someone as an artist.
Seth is a legend. absolutely love the final note to wrap up this episode. make a ruckus y'all.
I love "morning pages" and doubt I'll throw them out. I feel like I forget the details of the journey I've travelled and I find it interesting to see changes, growths, cycles etc.. They're like a photo album reminding me of past memories/occurrences etc
What an inspiring interview!! Thank you, Marie! Thank you, Seth! I love you both!❤" " You have everything you need to make magic. You always have." ❤ The best quote for me!
I teared up at the end and realized we're all Harry Potter ⚡ thank you Seth and Marie! Super profound interview!!! 😍 😍 😍 "You have everything you need to make magic, you always have."😊
I'm crying. This video was so touching, so inspiring, so engaiging. Marie, your smile and your energy are incredible, even through the Internet. Seth, your calm and your trust in deconstructing concepts that I had taking for granted (i.e. authenticity) is like an epiphany to me. Thank you so much. Grazie grazie grazie. Love from Italy.
I always need the reminder that not everyone has to like your work, just the people that are enrolled. This was great thank you!
“Do it together” instantly choked me up and brought tears to my eyes. These two are amazing, every damn time. Thank you for the work you share!
Making it a practice takes the negotiation of “do I have a good reason not to do this today?” off the table. Not everything you put out is going to be amazing, but with consistency you will get better.
I love the passage you read at the end Seth. Thank so much - both of you. Exactly what I needed to hear today!
Maybe the best segment I have **ever** experienced. What would my 2021 have been if I found this earlier? No regrets, I'm ready for it now. THANK YOU both!!!!
Once you make the decision it becomes who you are. If you are a writer, write... Inspiring 🙏
I’m so excited! I have an audible credit with Seth’s name on it ☺️
Omg me too!
Ditto!!
That’s me 🤗
When you are creating something, you are creating for those, who will learn from you and wil creates something new......Every part touched my heart, but you know this part is so deep to think for me myself. And also the part of humanity is best. This was my first video to see on your channel. But I am sure as hell that, it won't be last......... Sometimes I think where the hell was I till now that, I didn't find your channel. And the things that you guys about creating, it's goldmine or creators believe, he gave me the reason not motivation for a period of time, but a reason and a purpose and by saying that you will succeed by practice it is unbelievable, I mean I think this is gonna make my life🙏 And again Thank You.
This interview brought me to tears!! Thank you for your amazing work, Marie and Seth!!! I cannot wait to read "The Practice"!!!
I adore Seth Godin! Having Marie interview him makes it even better!!
The best advice I received and here has been confirmed: look out for network support, accountability buddy, a community which is doing what you want to do and hold tight to them. Share and show up. It works
can't get enough of this man's mind
I Love Seth Godin and your interview with him is so what i need to hear. Thank you both for what you do!
Looooooved this interview! Thank you Marie Forleo for creating this space and thank Seth Godin for sharing all your knowledge!!
How did I not know about this guy??? Thank you for introducing me to this brilliant man!
Thank you so much for sharing this, Marie. I’m a florist who (by your wisdom and guidance) just went out on my own last month. FYI, I’m a single woman with two teenage daughters so its all on me financially. Anyway, my biggest take away from this was the portion discussing writers block. I struggle with designing block. When my flowers arrive I’m excited and happy and feel most inspired. Then when the day of execution arrives, I’m sick with panic, terrified and threaten myself with quitting and running away. Literally… this is my life, haha. It’s so comforting and reassuring to listen to amazing people (such as yourselves) express the same issue(s). Anyhow, thank you. My words I say to myself every time I experience this often debilitating feeling is to “just do the next thing.” :) And to be honest it does work for me.
Hi Julieanna! Congratulations on this new step in your florist journey! We're so excited for you. "Just do the next thing" is the perfect way to get out of that designing block and into creating. Here's to much success moving forward. - Monauar, Team Forleo
Wow I love the ending quote.. I listened to it like 5x. So powerful! 💖
That should be framed and kept in my study room.
Shut up and take my money!!!! Thank you so much Marie and Seth! Both of you are golden!
Hi Marie,
I really loved this! I am in the middle of bschool, following a lead of doing an art business and SO appreciated the encouragement and wisdom form you and Seth. My heart and head are resonating with all of this good info and the many tools. THANK YOU for helping me put all the pieces together in this big journey!
I so relate to this in every area of my life. A counselor once used to preach to me that "perfect is just a moment in time". Perfection is a moment, not a process.
Thank you for the great interview ,Marie.
Lovely hearing Seth and you talk.
My takeaway - "If you wait for perfect you are hiding".
- "This is worth doing , even if it doesn't work."
And - " Human connection is exponential".
Thank you Marie , you and your team are doing Awesome work.
Such a blessing!!! At 8:45, his answer to how confidence and trusting the process aren’t the same really resonated with me. It was the moment I decided to go ahead and buy that book!
Such an amazing and inspiring interview! Thank you Marie, thank you Seth!!! Just what's needed right now.
Excellent information and interview! I loved the “Morning Pages” idea (like a “Morning Message” at school to get kids thinking.) I’m working on my book -“Headbangers-A Musical Recovery of Mild Traumatic Brain Injury” and much was written on my early journey of recovery but I have not been sitting daily to look back at what I wrote so this was a GREAT reminder to just DO 🖊📖each day..even if it’s not exactly what will be in print. It also reminded me of “WHO” I’m writing it for & to help those who need it. ❤️🎶🙏
it was brilliant and I am getting the book tomorrow... also you are keeping me awake because you have so much out there that I have missed over the years.... and need to digest everything and learn and share with my audience...
Thank you, Marie & Seth
The chemistry between you two is just beautiful!
Listening Seth read that l3ast made me cry. A good cry. Thank you Marie. Planning to get the book.
This interview alone was transformative, I'm so looking forward to reading Seth's new book. Thank you for sharing🤍
Seth has been an inspiration to me. His words ring true. He's like an artistic life coach. I agree that working with others helps people be more productive and inspired. (Even me as a die hard individualist!) Now if we only could get the politicians to work together with this same mentality that would be great!!!
Loved this video sooo much!! Especially when you're in the first chapters with your business and you cannot see big results it is easy to fall into a state of 'I really don't feel like it' today...tomorrow...and the next day. Videos like this one keep me going and trekking forward, finding love in what I do, constantly remind myself that my work is meaningful and it helps people. I trust I will get there! Thank you Marie again for inspiring me not to give up!!!!!!!!!!! I adore your channel!!!
Yes! The destination matters.
Part of what I have used is thinking the process is the most important. As long as I go to the work or start the art, i am successful already.
Marie and Seth, thank you! Whenever I listen to you and watch you, it's a great inspiration. I have just bought the book but I will be rewatching this video to remember these nuggets of widsom (to borrow a phrase from a very inspiring person) :)
My new mantra; Be curios, generous and connected.
Great interview, thank you both!
I think this put a lot of what I'm afraid of into respective. Most of the thing you guys said in this video is not exactly new but to heard such big figure talking about the same experience as mine and how they overcome it really helps.
My biggest takeaway is:
Just start. Think about your audience and just start. Don't be afraid of the first draft or how it won't turn out perfectly, force yourself into doing it and finish it the best you can.
SUCH a powerful interview. I love both of you and all you do and this was very helpful. Thanks for this! What I took away was: attachment to the outcome paralyzes us and shun the non believers. Both points are key for me to actually do the work without allowing perfection and being liked by everyone stop me from creating what I desire to.
This is COMPLETELY amazing. Thank you, Seth, sooooooo much fo sharing. Wow.
Awesome awesome awesome..... I am so impressed.... Words of wisdom, contribution to society is the best legacy before we die. Thank you.
Omg! I was crying by the time he finished reading that. I can’t wait to get started tomorrow. Or, right now really. 💖❤️💖 Thank you so much. 🌹🌹🌹🌹
Very insightful❤ thank you both
He’s the absolute best. Thanks so much Marie for bringing him to the show 🙏 my plan is to reach out to some of my dear friends to connect and learn from each other entrepreneurial dreams/actions 👌
One of all time favorite interviews! Thank you peeps!
Love listening to Seth anyday!!✨
I have not watched a Marie video in a while, yet I recognize the radio from the book, on her desk. That means I really remembered the book ❤️😭
How profound and powerful! Loved this conversation - it provided such a rich depth to my perspective today. Thank you for the many gifts - can’t wait to share them with my clients! ❤️
Marie and Seth, two of my fav humans on the planet. Seth, I placed my order for The Practice today. :-)
Thank you so very much for this Marie and Seth! So inspiring!
I am currently translating this book, and this conversations helped me understand it more clearly. Thanks!
Seths reading so resonates ❤️
thank you for this episode ❤️ the biggest aha - that with our actions we pave the road for other people to come after us. I keep hearing this message from different sources.
Amazing episode, probably my favorite, this year. Thanks, Marie and Seth. I´ve already ordered my copy of the book. Can´t wait to read it, wrap my sleeves and make great stuff happen. As always.
That's a wonderful inspirational message to move forward. I am grateful, I found this channel. Thank you!
This was really inspiring, I made a few notes here and there and I know I will make more once I rewatch this. Can't wait to buy the book.
"Attachment to the outcome paralyses us," is something that strongly resonates me. I've been working on breaking this pattern for years now, and I'm getting closer each day :)
Wow this was mindblowing to me. I loved this interview!
These are the things I took away:
"Do the work regardless how the world or YOU are feeling"
"Do what you love is for amateurs, love what you do is for professionals"
"We can define who we are by what we do"
"Morning pages - it's about the practice"
"who is it for and what is it for?"
"you have to be able to sat that it's okay (that you can't serve everyone)"
Thanks so much, I loved this
A wonderful interview. You are both nurturing each other and us through the conversation. Better together.
Really great interview! Absolutely love Seth Godin’s books. I am really looking forward to reading The Practice.
Geez. This was so cool. Thank you Marie and Seth for sharing your light and practical useful wisdom. Peace and Love to you. I just ordered the practice on Amazon.🌹
Wow, I’m learning so many things that are resonating. Thank you once again.
This was so needed in my life!!!
So inspiring you two! 🤓💕
I need to go on a Fast from responding to so many people on CZcams... and put more of my question answering into better delivery formats. 😅
Love this!! Thank you Maria and Seth.
Loved this interview. Learnt so much!
Thank you for this Marie👏🏻👏🏻
My insight - keep creating to lift others. No need to feel 'entitled'. I'll find my tribe if I stay genuine, selfless and connected. (Of course, some boundaries are a must)
Love it!!! you guys are my rockstars! My take aways: it works better together and creativity is a practice. 💙
Marie, I love your content, keep up the good work.
