Back for his 2nd appearance on the show - New York Times best-selling author and entrepreneur, Seth Godin, joins us this week to talk about his latest project, altMBA, and the process of searching for his next piece of work. Also, Brian and Seth discuss the comfort people find in gatekeepers, the importance of increasing tension to keep your work on the cutting edge, and how big expectations can lead to big differences.
