Several weeks ago, I had the privilege of hosting the Chick-fil-A Leadercast Backstage program. I interviewed several notable authors as they came off the stage, including John Maxwell, Sir Ken Robinson, Dan Cathy, Suzy Welch, Frans Johansson, and several others. I thought I would share these with you over the next several weeks.

This one is with Seth Godin. He talked about several topics, including:

• Why things are the way they are
• The massive change we are witnessing in almost every field
• Why the “new normal” is the chance of a lifetime
• How people can approach change
• Why we experience stress
• Why he started The Domino Project and how it is disrupting the publishing industry
• The old model of publishing compared to the new
• What kind of push-back has he received from traditional publishers
• His advice he has for new authors (caution: this is radical)
• Why authors don’t need to wait to be picked
• The role of traditional publishers in the future
• His favorite book out of all the ones he has written (I hadn’t even heard of it!)

Seth was as delightful as always. I could have talked with him for hours.
