More than being the best-selling author of books like Linchpin and Tribes, or the disruptive founder of Squidoo and Yoyodyne, Seth Godin is a teacher of how to live a life beyond the status quo.

Can't believe you got Seth Godin, that in itself deserves applaud. You are hands down becoming one of the best interviewers ever, period. Knowing when to be quiet, and knowing when to prime the pump gets the best out of your guests. You have mastered this. I can listen to the same guest on Lewis Howes, Seth Rogan, Chase Jarvis and I get the most when they are on Impact Theory. I think it's because you are asking and probing what your community wants. What I'm building you have personally had a major impact on. Thank You and Thank You for getting Seth!!
TV Smack Talk, Tom totally killed it today with his restraint. I fell in love with him all over again just by watching him listen.
And the look of Joy on Tom's face as he was doing the intro!! I felt the excitement. This is just good stuff!!
Who is Seth Rogan?
@@ariking26 He means Joe Rogan
Is it silly if I feel motivated to do amazing things because I want to deserve getting interviewed on this show?
"Get hooked on 'this might not work, this might work, we'll find out'" Absolute mindshift. Amazing.
That's true SedaleM because it's all testing until something actually works. Many people view the testing process as failure instead of testing a hypothesis. It is a mindset shift to discover that we can test ideas and see if they work and that's okay.
Seth Godin brings so much value at every appearance 💫
Agreed!
"In a crowded marketplace, fitting in is a failure. In a busy marketplace, not standing out is the same as being invisible." - Seth Godin
Yes, Seth talks about becoming a lynchpin and making yourself unique and irreplaceable if you want to survive the wave of the future.
Teresa Cole , Seth actually goes further than that to say “You” already are unique and would easily stand out in “the marketplace” and that its of value to develop on the many levels that have not been attended to (read developed) that support beyond the lower potential of merely “Fitting in” This whole notion grows from the “lynchpin” idea of learning and growing through knowing what we don’t know........... of ourselves!
This Is better than school ! 🙏
Agreed!
The best kind of learning is intentional learning. I love Seth's teaching style.
Honestly! Because Godin is a Real teacher!
Right in some sense. But, may be no school after 10th grade or so and no, if you wanna do engineering or science in any field.
He's the first person to have a real answer to your question about what impact he wants to have on the world...and it's the most gangster answer ever. God damn this was a good episode.
Seth Godin is one of the most transformative characters in my life. I encountered his work more than 10 years ago, and without his ideas, I would not have been able to build the business I have today.
He has greatly influenced me, miles away here in the Philippines. He is a hero. And he is truly making the impact he intends to make.
Thanks Seth! And thank you Tom from having him as a guest. Such power in his ideas.
Totally agree! Seth is amazing!
I’m shocked at how Tom summarized the interview so well. It’s not scripted... he’s just fcking focused and knows how to connect everything lol
"I'm not trying to teach for my own sake. I'm trying to teach so that other people can help the culture around them level up, 'cause that's all we got." Wow. Solid guy.
This guy is my favorite interviewer because he actually shuts up and lets his guest talk
"If you think there's a shortcut,your'e wrong".COOLSOME SETH.
Impact theory is my morning ritual! Thank you for making this wisdom accessible & breaking it down. Such a blessing
You Are Gorgeous...And I am proud to praise your beautiful eyes
Model success to replicate success. Absolutely love it.
Yes, Dan, it's a great way to get better at a craft.
“You cannot be curious and angry at the same time” Seth Godin Thank you 🙏🏼✨
The Legend stops by!
Tom Bilyeu, thank you! Your work has changed my life. Thank you for an invaluable interview with Seth! Love love love!
Tom, having Seth is such an incredible accomplishment. Congrats. Seth represents what humanity truly needs to be. He is my "Hero" as he prefers in terms! I listen to him, morning, noon and night. Keep the movement going. !!!
It has been a full year now that I'm watching Impact theory, so I can say it - Tom, you are the greatest interviewer of our time. You are our Larry King. And in this episode you've been superb, a joy to watch. Seth's ideas and the way he conveys them is nothing short of amazing. This is probably my favorite episode. Thank you for everything you are doing. Because, same as Seth, you ARE making this world a better place.
One of the best interview. It's incredibly enriching. Thanks Tom for spreading the treasure of wisdom which can shape the person like me and others and impacting the world to make it a better place.
After watching some 20 episodes , I loved this the most ... Truly informative and believe me I actually put headphones /// full volume and closed the windows of my room /// did almost everything just to give my 100% attention and rewinded several times to get this in my head ... Thanks a ton TOM .
He started with the story ive been obsessed with and moves on to hit me over and over FOR 52 MINUTES!!! Another interview I was writing notes furiously. Tom, you are such an amazing interviewer! I got so much value from this, THANK YOU!!!!
One of my most favorite episodes & guest. Love Seth and ALL the amazing gems revealed. Great energy between Tom & Seth
Yeees! Seth! Tom, appreciate every thing you do. 🙏
I'm an online art student. I am not good yet, but I'm determined to become a master through sheer discipline and hard work. These interviews are such an inspiration when I feel discouraged. Can't wait to be good enough that I can teach others and share the growth mindset. The world needs it!
I HATE when I have to hit the rewind button every 5 seconds. Unmercifully valuable interview. Tom and Seth never disappoint... thank you both for all you are doing.
yeah me too.
oh my god, i can't find words to explain how great it felt. Tom I got introduced to Seth via your book list and i can't thank you enough for that. This guys is from another dimension and finally seeing him in the show is the best thing that happened to me today. thank you so much
Wow, what an exceptional episode. Well done.
Haven't heard from Seth in a long while! Always a pleasure hearing his thoughts. Practicality and modularity.
Unbelievable! I have been watching your videos for over a year now and this has been by far the most impactful episode for me yet! Keep up the good work!
Love that! I think Seth is amazing!
Tom, that was a truly beautiful wrap-up! So real I felt the emotion.
About to dive into Seth's world! Thanks man.
I have rarely seen a person as well prepared for an interview as this. Great questions, great interview, congratulations, you nailed it.
Love this! Life changing
Can’t tell you how many of your episodes I’ve watched or what order I’m watching them in... so far, this one has been my favorite! Even paused to grab Linchpin from audible and finally listen to seth’s wisdom. You’re doing great work and inspiring my company at every step in mere months. Thank you both.
Seth's interviews are always amazing to listen to. But, Tom I have to applaud your questions and the level of presence you bring to every interview. How much attention you give to every word coming from the person in the other chair, is always something that stands out to me. I loved how to started to go into 'Impact Quote mode' at the end of the interview. Great interview man!
I have so much love and admiration for this conversation! Thank you.
This was soo good! Buying Linchpin now. Thank you!!!
How do you not love a real gentlemen, people that opens doors and keep their promises and listen and they hear without you speeking.....addicted for life, gratitude to you😍❤ Seth
"engage with people so you don't even need a lawyer", "living your life with no fine print"... wow, that is magic! I would like to be able to work in partnerships like this.
Just like his blog posts, I wish this interview was another 2 hours longer, lol ... thank you Tom and Seth for an incredible episode! Both of your contributions are immensely appreciated! ❤️🙏🏼
I got chills like a dozen times, especially near the end. Wow
Wow ♥♥♥ This man is something special ♥♥♥ the world needs more souls like this ♥♥♥
What a combination of two of my favourite content creators. Been a fan of Seth for years now and Tom within the last 2 years or so. Smashing the like button before I listen, it is impossible for this not to be EPIC!!
nice to see a calm, nuanced talk with seth godin! completely different to the talk he did with gary vee 😁seriously though, how can you not love seth? he always brings so much value and his advice has helped me tremendously in my endeavours!
Seth Godin brings so much value at every appearance
I'll be honest, I've never heard of this guy before this talk, I'm definitely going to check out more of his work. Amazing episode !
Divineshot 314 his quite famous ... His podcasts are the best
So much of this is inligne with the 7 habits!!! Great!
seth said quitter never win ,winner never quit try to read his book the dip it will change alot of you thought about difficult situation
Israel Aguilar Lua as as
Tom killin’ it with the best questions ever!
Tom, you're great with interviews and moving the conversation forward. I think these are one of my favorite interviews on the tube.
Amazing!! Empowering brought me to tears. One of the greatest lessons I've learned from Seth Godin is nobody is coming to rescue any of us, we have to rescue ourselves. The only way anyone can rescue themselves is if they truly believe in what they are doing. I do believe in what I am doing. It is not in me to concede regardless of being rejected countless times. I Witness each little successes as it affirms my pursuit. My passion comes from the knowing within me that I am adding to the greater good of the whole. In oneness with each other, not division, is where true success blooms.
Tom you are a brilliant interviewer, who truly makes his guest feel valued and appreciated with the spectacular manner in which you introduce them. Moreover, it is not only the brilliant intros that make your podcast stellar in nature but also the manner in which you truly ask insightful and well though out questions that provide great value to the audience. Additionally, as an interviewer you have managed to strike the perfect balance between being present and leading the interview, while also allowing the interviewee to take their time answering the questions posed, a trait that is hard to find in many podcasts and interviews. I truly recommend all viewers to see the manner in which Gary Vaynerchuck interviewed Seth Godin and contrast that with the manner in which Tom conducted his interview as there is a world of the difference with regards to the dynamic shared between the interviewer and interviewee.
It has taken me three days to watch this because I didn’t want to miss anything. I’m literally in tears. Seth has changed my perspective on a lot of things. I just want to study him. He’s so much of what I want to see myself evolve to. Though we do not share all of the same experiences, we certainly share the same heart and perhaps the same DNA. Thank you for bringing him to me. You asked all the right questions. Much love. ❤️
Damn Tom, one of the best videos you've had on this channel. Congratulations, it seems like it was a little dificult for you and your team to bring Seth to your studio, but if definely worth it. Thank you for doing that, for all of us. I also admire and respect all the time you spend studying the person you're going to interview before the presentation, it is one of the most genuine things that you do on your channel. Lets be legendary my friend. Regards
Jorge López you read my mind
Tom really did deliver on this one Jorge! I'm so glad he brought Seth to the stage. Just like you, I learned so much!
Great interview! I liked the way Seth emphasized the fact that we are living in a period where connections are important, and if you are lucky to meet/find somebody who inspires you, you can achieve great things. A key moment for me was when I found this channel. I am convinced that after a year while I watched the interviews each week, I have a different mindset. I am able and have the courage to do things that before I couldn't do, because I was afraid. But, as Seth said, fear is good to realize what you can do when you actually do. :) Thank you Tom for the interviews and I appreciate all you effort with Impact Theory. You rock!
Your video interviews have helped me move along in my path so much. I am happy to pass on the good news that I hear every time I login and listen to your content. Thank you.
This was brilliant! Simply brilliant! Definitely one of the best interviews and of all the videos in general or any events live or online that I've ever been fortunate enough to encounter.
Massive respect for this guy. He's A True Inspiration.
And thank you, Tom! You've no idea how much I appreciate you bringing stuff like this to us. To say this made me better would be an understatement, cause it did so much more. Thank you!
Not a day goes by without me watching one of Tom's interviews. Thank you!
What a terrific show. This should be on every single week. He's THAT good. Thank you Tom for getting him on, and thank you Seth for sharing your wisdom with us!
The best talk and insight I've actually ever heard.
Tom Bilyeu I discovered you only a month or so ago... and I am so happy I did. Thank you so much for all of the work you are doing. A really awesomefully inspiring contribution !! THANK YOU !!!
I love this interview. I just want to shoutout Tim for this in depth UA-cam description it literally has everything
I feel like this is everything I needed to hear. I have been sitting on the fence of my reality and my dreams and this helped me to realize I am the only person standing in my way.
Happy to learn from Seth as always, Thank you Tom for bringing him on the show.
Seth is one of my inspirational heroes, I love his work and of course I love him, thanks for this great interview
This guys level of deep thought and being able to put it all together in perfect form is unbelievable!!!!
Five minutes in and I can already tell this is going to be one of my favorites! I don’t even watch TV or use my Hulu account anymore! I literally enjoy my no ad UA-cam educational channels more than any other form of entertainment and it’s really all I wanna do in my free time. In one month I’ve changed my entire life and a lot of it is from the inspiration motivation and change of thought pattern I have gotten from these videos. I wake up early in the morning meditate take a long walk to the gym while listening to educational videos. By 1 o’clock all of my tasks are completed and I have to find more positive things to do so I usually just watch more of your videos. Thank you thank you thank you!!! 🙏🏽
Tom, thank you so much for that amazing interview! Seth has changed many of my perspectives about life and business and I am immensely grateful for his work.
You are doing an excellent work and I wish you all the success in the world! Keep going!
His talk is really inspiring and the fact that he’s a real person who I can get that notion through a phone screen a year after this has been put on UA-cam is amazing alone I’m ready change this world for the soul purpose of telling a story that will give others the chance to have there voice heard while growing themselves in all aspects of life
This one was straight fiiiiire! Loved every second of it 🔥
I have watched a lot of Seth's interviews lately and this has to be my favorite by far. Great questions. I have never heard of Tom Bilyeu but I will try and find his list of books referred to. Thanks Tom for a masterful interview.
You are so ridiculously good at finding people who model what it means to be a human being at its fullest capacity... How are you doing this?
tom your like the modern day napolean hill interviewing all the great giants of this era. I always look forward to your content, keep up the great work.
Lemphedema leg wrap
Wow, that is an interesting way to view Tom as "a modern day Napolean Hill," were else can we get this type of compiled greatness. Amazing!
I really love Tom’s voice! He’s very smart! He actively listened to every GOAT that he interviews, this making him hit the right questions every time!
One of the best interviews I've come across. Makes me introspect on a lot of things.
Legendary. A legend and a legend in the making.
Thank you. So much wisdom in such little time.
Seth what a legend!! thanks so much for Finally having him on the show!!!!
Unbelievable interview. I had a huge grin on my face throughout the whole thing.
These two are peas in a pod. I love this. Seth, Tom, thank you both for agreeing to (and actually) making this happen. "What did that process look like?" Priceless. This is filled with 'obvious' principles articulated in a no-nonsense format. Much appreciated for your sage wisdom and expert communication.
This might have been the most amazing interview i have ever seen!
I found Impact theory because of a friend and your time with Seth was only my third time here but Tom, I already know I'm all in. How you research and interact with your guests to pull every scrap of awesomeness out of them is intoxicating and though I'm in my mid sixties and was feeling tired... after just three days here I'm feeling like starting over but being much better this time. Thank you... and I'll see you tomorrow!
Didn't know Seth Godin. All I can say is ...... WOW!!!
All the interviews on Impact Theory are very good, this one is EXCELLENT! I need to watch this one again to absorb this stuff. Thank you Tom...
Phenomenal! As always! Thank you both Tom & Seth for being the best versions of yourselves!!
That was an amazing episode! Definitely gonna get a re watch with my note pad. So many examples of just looking at things differently and self awareness
Tom, this has to be the best so far in my opinion. I truly get a great deal from all of your interviews, but Seth Godin omg! I got a bit emotional like Seth when he mentioned Leonard Nimoy and his selflessness which we know that Seth shares. Great to hear from one of my heroes.
Thanks again. I look forward to seeing how you top this.
What an interview!! And Tom what a great interviewer you are. The intro and outro of show was 🔥 What a way to honour Godin the legend
So glad you liked it! I loved having him on the show!
Yes Tina, Tom really does do a great job at the intro and outro of the interviews. I have watched other interviews where the interviewer totally loses control of the interview. Tom does a great job of guiding the interview and making sure that the audience can get some core wisdom that they can apply to their lives and get some positive results.
One of the best interviews that I have watched after David gogins interview
Yes, the interview on David Gogins was amazing. He talked about turning pain into gain and having the mental toughness to get through anything. This interview with Seth is great in that way too.
wow! Definitely one of my favourite interviews so far!
Fantastic interview and an incredible, heart-felt outro.
For the last three years, whenever I need reassurance in business, I watch this episode. The advice/information may be the same each time but it can take on new meaning in all aspects of growth in a business. Thank you!
Thank you for bringing Seth Godin on. Great interview! Am going to watch again.
I needed this. Thank you - always great stuff!
love seth, loved the interview - gratitude
YES!!! Thanku for this Amazing interview!! Listening to Seth Speak inspires me on so many levels & makes me happy!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS CHANNEL
Loved this! What a genuine, authentic human being. I love the intro where is acknowledging the flaws of the system, whilst being on top of it himself. Fantastic, going to be buy myself a Seth Godin book! Love the impact he wants to have on the world, totally agree with that, service to others is so much more beneficial to all of us. Humanity is ascending, slowly but steadily.
31:15 profoundly illustrated! So much value in this episode! Thank you Tom👍
You guys are awesome! I discovered one of his books in one of favourite bookstores and loved his way of thinking. But just listening to him on this great show makes my appreciate Seth Godin even more! So a round of applause from me for making this show possible! 👏👏👏
As always masterpiece interviews, thanks Tom!
I love how every guest compliments Tom's intros in the same way without fail. I would probably react the same way
It's just gets better with every episode.... Priceless...
I truly thought the process I was doing was bullshit but to hear two individuals describe what I was doing a relief. Thank you.
