This May, Seth Godin swept the audience off their feet earlier this month as he spoke on the monthly theme, “Backwards,” about a few things that we have backwards in terms of the work we do versus the work we’d like to be doing. An excellent watch for anyone with goals, ambitions, hopes, or dreams and is wondering how to pursue them.
And once you’re done consuming that, check out the Q&A, which is just riddled with truth bombs that will leave you beyond inspired to take on the world.
The event was hosted by The New School as part of Parsons Festival 2013. Big high five goes out to Ben Hallman for filming and editing, and that tongue-in-cheek intro perfectly aligned with the theme.
