(I started writing this post Friday night after i got home. But to use a term from the book, The Resistance kicked in and stopped me from posting it. NO MORE!)

I saw Seth Godin at The Linchpin Session at FIT this morning. To me it was well worth it, just like all of his other talks. (Even though I never paid for those.)

He talked about the new economy and how we don’t have to be cogs if we don’t want to. Instead, we are artists. Every positive aspect of our actions that isn’t defined by a job description is our art.

He talked about how we need to be generous with our gifts, and share them with the world. And how school forces us and endoctrinates us into taking orders and not showing initiative.

All in all, another life changing talk. I saw someone recording it from the front row so i’m hoping it’ll end up on TED or Youtube, because there was just so much good stuff there (like there always is) that I don’t think I truly absorbed all of it at once.

I had my book signed by Seth, (swoons) and he left me with a simple message.

Make something happen.

That’s the true essence of the entire book and speech. Be like Nike and Just Do It. Share your gifts with the world and worry about the results later. Just get them out there! Change someone’s life! (For the better.)

PS: Seth is compiling a list of posts and interviews on the book here. Check it out for another look.
