Episode #282: Seth Godin - You Can't Be Seen Until You Learn To See
"In a crowded marketplace, fitting in is a failure. In a busy marketplace, not standing out is the same as being invisible."
Show Notes:
- Commonalities of sustaining excellence:
- It changes over time

- Some of Seth's failures: many teaching mistakes, tried to build philanthropy platform that failed, blog has failed at times
- How to handle a slump? - "There's no such thing as a long slump."
- Stephen J. Gould - "The real problem is how you respond to the failure. You can't tell yourself a story that's not true."
- Have honest self talk -- "This isn't a slump."
- Stanford MBA - Friends with Chip Conley. "Everyone there feels like a fraud or an arrogant jerk. I felt like I was drowning. The sessions with Chip changed my life." Chips "Random Acts of Initiative" were life changing. Chip taking initiative and not fearing rejection. Remarkable.
- Empathy - A mentor wants to see you do things that are bold, leap forward because of them.
- Be a mentor - "Make the world shinier. Bring life to more causes."
- Economy of words - "I made the decision to write like I talk."
- "Talking isn't better because you're afraid."
- The book publishing world and why Seth chose to traditionally publish This Is Marketing
- What percentage of Seth's success is luck? "98.2%" The final 1.8% is "relentless persistence." "The 98.2% is the parent lottery."
- How to deal with rejection after rejection...
- "Culture IS strategy. How we treat people. It's hard to do the things we're proud of."
- "Great ones have better clients."
- Side hustle advice -- Start it on the side so that you don't have to make money at it right away. You can choose your clients and never just "do it for the money."
- "Exactly. Great advice."
- Keys to storytelling - "We have too much stuff."
- Better understand the story you're telling yourself.
- Why joining The Learning Leader Circle is a good idea
- Use the "Get To Know You Document"

World War II with Tom Hanks
By shows
For eighty years, the Second World War has remained the most devastating and defining conflict in human history. World War II with Tom Hanks reexamines the war through the lens of a new century. Told over twenty hours and guided by Tom Hanks, whose lifelong passion for this history has shaped some of the most profound screen portrayals of the era, the series captures the full arc of the war — from the rise of fascism in Europe to the fall of Berlin, from Pearl Harbor to Hiroshima, and the uneasy peace that follows. Each episode uncovers new dimensions of the conflict: the decisions that shaped the battlefield, the unseen networks that sustained the war effort, and the aftershocks that still shape our world today. World War II with Tom Hanks is the definitive retelling of that story for a new generation: a sweeping, deeply human portrait of how the modern world was forged in the fires of global war.
