We rise to the level of the narrative we tell ourselves about who we are and what we can do. Absolutely loved this episode.

[LaurieAnnCurry]

This may well be my favorite Rich Roll podcast ever. Seth’s humbleness and Rich’s honesty and transparency about why he hadn’t made the trip to Seth’s truly touched me and set the stage for an extraordinary discussion. Thank both.

[ValerieBloomberg]

There aren’t many podcasts I feel worthy of my time lately, but Seth Godin is fuel for my soul! There is a reason GOD is in his name!

[DNS]

THANK YOU 🙏🏻 I’ve been advocating this vision on education for the last 6 years. And I’ve opted out, teaching my daughters about STEM and ICT, politics and finance. Above all, I teach them on ownership, leadership and integrity. Psychology and communication skills also add to the curriculum at home. Next to going to school, teaching them all the extra stuff through play, deep conversations or writing music, while baking bread or pie… being present as a parent is so important for the future of humanity, We really need to stick together and take care of each other.

[calliopelove]

Love Seth’s wisdom. He’s so present and so expansive in his thinking.

[itsjohnthomas]

If it weren’t for Rich’s authenticity this podcast episode wouldn’t exist. It’s a timely reminder that everyone has a story and gets to choose how they appear (good or bad) to anyone else they interact with in their daily life

[jeannecabanis]

Dear Rich, I am very touched by your honesty about your feelings of inferiority. You are a role model and inspiration for me to dare more and more to really be myself. Thank you for sharing. I love your work and have been following you for a long time. Your conversation with Seth Godin is another amazing episode. Thank you both very much. You make the world a better place!

[goodnatureart]

I've been working on climate change for 40 years and just found out that 96% of mammals on our planet today are humans, cows, goats, pigs, animals we have domesticated. Great to see Seth focused his skillful heart on climate crisis. His solutions are right on. Bucky Fuller said to change the world, create a new one. Thanks for humanizing us all with your listening and sharing Rich. The weave with trauma drama of addiction to alcohol, oil will indirectly help a whole generation of addicts face ourselves.

[drmatthewhorkey]

This was a GREAT conversation. I've read EVERY Seth blog post for over 12 years. Love his stuff!

[Tarawater]

Need to watch this again. So many nuggets. Two great modern minds with delicious thoughts. Thank you so much.

[chloelennox]

Seth Godin, one of my favourite people on the whole planet! Just ordered the book can't wait to read it. What an amazing episode!

[prettypurplekao]

Rich I use to be a weekly listener but since becoming a mom, I rarely get the treat. Listened to this one in its entirety and it was a joy. I have listened to other interview type podcasts and no other host has the skill to steer the conversation quite the way you do.

[esra_feelit]

So simple, how he explained the process of writing, so beautifully said.

[javierdeblasgo]

Thank you both for your daring work and for this brilliant conversation! 👏

[tjanz]

I gotta tell ya Rich, I'm somehow new to Seth Godin's work despite being in the marketing field and this has got to be in my Top 10 favorite Rich Roll podcasts! Your conversation is so insightful and just makes me want to go out and read all Seth's books and learn as much as I can about his teachings! I've got so much to catch up on! Props on yet another banger!! 🙏

[LydiaCatherine]

What a legendary podcast episode. Grateful for both of your presences here on this tiny planet. 💛

[londonhealthdietcoach]

This is EXCELLENT and a MUST watch for everyone!!!! Inspiring and leaves you with knowledge that will change your vision of the future

[marylinbelanger]

Loved loved loved this episode, thank you so much! Great discussion regarding climate change solutions! 💚

[karalough]

Brilliance at its Best… like a beautiful dance

[lizhernandez]

Also so happy that some of my favorite teachers are finally talking about this I really want my daughter and grandkids to see how beautiful Earth can really.
