Seth Godin has crossed that fine line from subject matter expert to inspirational speaker in a way only great story tellers can do. He's the best speaker I've ever seen next to *****

[@JonBowes777]

What I like about this video is the way Seth just knows the value of knowing the value of your work. If you don't know the value of your work, then you cannot possibly convey that value to a prospect or client. Finding those who get it is only possible if you get it first yourself. Basically, it comes down to believing in yourself and your ability to succeed. As always, Seth Godin kills it.

[@ejatinder]

16:22 the way he looks at his watch to see the time left... awesome Saw it again 3 times... he adjusts his sleeve and sees the time ... all in split seconds...

[@hideitfromthekids5201]

I was also quite impressed by that gangster move

[@SamuelEarth]

I love the way Seth thinks.

"Its more important you do work thats important than you do work that is pretty" True stories

[@JanVandenEeckhout]

Very inspirational as always from Seth Godin! Just one remark: Solvay is a Belgian family that started a chemical company in 1863, named Solvay as well. It's not a city. The conference mentioned was named the Solvay Conference, but was held in Brussels, Belgium.

The 3rd point ---- Demand responsibility but don't worry at all about authority--- Seth is Great

[@francisarroyo2245]

Everyone in here can have his own Media Company and. We dont need any license from BBC. Or NBC. Great. Truly a thrust up and forward. Thank you Mr. Godin

[@iConceptsMarketing]

It's great to hear a master like Seth Godin turn things on their head, and have them make total sense.

Seth always brings the goods. I highly appreciate you sharing this Creative Mornings. I encourage anyone who hasn't, to look more into Seth Godin, the dude is a BEAST and always has tons of value to give.

[@vaxdnrelaxd]

Mindfulness shouldn't replace or satisfy your thirst for existential meaning.

[@HumanOptimization]

Seth is incredible! Point, blank, period!

[@KenSherman]

I was at the first 2 minutes of the video I could tell that I was going to like this video. ***** recommended this guy. I am glad that I was introduced to a Godin.

[@JenniferHamilton111]

What an inspirational and thought provoking talk, even if you are outside the industry he is speaking to, it has massive impact and implication. Brilliant and so eloquently spoken!

[@DafineDesign]

What if I told you that the "Alphabet Song" was really just "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" ?

[@brucebaker810]

KLAY the Cartoonist You have blown my mind. Thumbs up. (No "5 stars" rating here.)

[@johnnyweirdo4521]

baa baa black sheep have you any wool? it doesn't end there lol

[@LemonNation]

Then I'm taking the red pill and going with you to see just how far the rabbit hole goes.

[@christopherspringmann]

The Alphabet Song is often used as an example of early memory through rhyming and repetition, as we learn song lyrics the same way through recordings. Mnemonic devices are techniques a person can use to help them improve their ability to remember something. In other words, it's a memory technique to help your brain better encode and recall important information. Nurses, doctors, lawyers, soldiers, fire fighters, EMT'S, cops, Home Depot associates, all learn acronyms to facilitate memory 'cause it works!

[@geraldbassig4636]

great talk

[@pjeffery40]

inspiring and i-opening vid.

[@vitalysamonov3399]

I like it!

[@happycoffeehelpsdotme7205]

This is groundbreaking stuff.

[@michaeljohnmountain]

Great stuff...great designers don't get the most business, it's all about the hustle.

[@ritec]

11:15, words of wisdom.

[@vladodiamond]

Amazing. No matter if you are an employee or entrepreneur he just bring out your creative thinking. We can allways do something or create something no metter where we are . And the best thung for me is what he says about the educational system. Ha ha. Best shot he is for real that is a very big problem. Nobody tells you or teach you how to choose carrier, how to invest money or to make money how to communicate with your children etc. etc. the imoprtant things are missing in the school in that way of thinking.

[@isaabdullah4426]

He is a colorful person

[@HussainFahmy]

Marketing insight on using the power of social media network.

[@leeanucha]

all i can say is "wow".

[@mariochacon6789]

12:57 hobby vs job

[@cutesleepy]

My take away from this video is to do work that matters and be responsible for making the change you want to see - to lead, to spread the message and find the right people whom you intend to serve.

Reflect credit deflect blame

[@helenakay4227]

It's the work you're after not the credit

[@helenakay4227]

If you want to make change make it for people who deserve it

[@HeavyK.]

Seth is best in small doses.

[@RendallRen]

49 seconds long intro is long.

[@kintutucker2173]

I love how the creative mind challenge traditional ways of thinking and create opportunities...I'm out:-)
