014: Seth Godin - Why Business Culture Matters and How To Make An Impact As A Leader

Today's conversation is one I've been anticipating for a long time! Seth Godin's work as an entrepreneur, author, and teacher has massively shaped the trajectory of my business, and I'm excited to share his newest book, The Song of Significance. Seth is also the author of 20 best-selling books and the visionary founder of Akimbo, an online workshop designed to transform your leadership.



In this conversation, Seth imparts invaluable lessons on why hustle culture falls short and reveals why significance is the ultimate aspiration in life. We delve into the essence of being a leader versus a manager, uncover why business culture is more important than ever, and give practical tips on how you can make an impact through your work. This episode will shift your perspective and propel you toward a life of profound meaning.
