Anette and her friend, Maria Xenidou, of the Impact Learning podcast, take the opportunity to talk education with one of their teachers, Seth Godin. Seth asks great questions about what is school for, and talks about the difference between education and learning. Everyone involved in education should listen to this, and, especially those setting up our systems of education, including legislators.

In addition to launching one of the most popular blogs in the world, which Anette reads daily, he has written 20 best-selling books, including The Dip, Linchpin, Purple Cow, Tribes, and What To Do When It's Your Turn (And It's Always Your Turn), Thiis and his newest book is The Practice, Shipping Creative Work.

Seth also founded two companies, Squidoo and Yoyodyne (acquired by Yahoo!).

Seth has lots of thoughts on education, including his manifesto Stop Stealing Dreams, his TED Talk, and a course on Udemy called Seth Godin on Learning and Education. Seth has inspired Anette for years now, and he helps thousands learn through his Akimbo courses, including Anette, through The Podcasting Fellowship!
