He’s also the founder of the altMBA and The Akimbo Workshops, online seminars that have transformed the work of thousands of people.He writes about the post-industrial revolution, the way ideas spread, marketing, quitting, leadership and most of all, changing everything. You might be familiar with his books Linchpin, Tribes, The Dip and Purple Cow. His book, This Is Marketing, was an instant bestseller around the world.

In this episode, we speak about Seth's new book The Practice: Shipping Creative Work, and the premise behind it. We dive into the steps required to take action, let go of what other people have laid out for you, and find passion and creativity in the work you do.
