What better way to kickstart our newly branded podcast than having Seth Godin as our guest? I am thrilled to have Seth, an extraordinary guest who, by the way, validates our decision to rebrand the podcast, and talk about ideas from his new book, The Practice, as well as pick his mind when it comes to art, creativity, and leadership.
