About this listen

Are You Ready to Raise a Ruckus?

You're probably good at your job, maybe even great. But secretly, do you yearn to fly higher? To challenge the rules and surprise us with something remarkable? To instigate delight, connection, and real change? To choose better over safer?

Business and cultural visionary Seth Godin has transformed the terrain of marketing and commerce more than once. But many of his readers remain stuck in their own work lives. So what's keeping us back? "The problem isn't a lack of knowledge or skill," he's realized. "The problem is fear." With Leap First, Seth Godin is here to help. This immersive audio program invites us to learn with him personally, unrehearsed and in the moment, as he shines a light for us, not with answers but with questions on the road to:

  • Overcoming our instinctual resistance to risk and change
  • Discovering our creative genius in the face of the empty page or whiteboard
  • Finding the courage to share that work - with vulnerability, generosity, and results

Recorded in an intimate gathering of aspiring entrepreneurs, writers, and leaders, Leap First teaches us 49 essential principles, practices, and life lessons that have helped Seth the most in his own work and life. More than an audiobook or keynote speech, each track here presents a carefully chosen catalyst intended to trigger our own passion and insight with each listening.

"It always feels too soon to leap. But you have to. Because that's the moment between you and remarkable. I hope this helps you return to that edge. And then, to leap."

Great length for a podcast, wanted more content from an audiobook though. I can understand making a few key points in line with the title, explaining them further would have helped me get more out of each.

Was very short

3rd time listening to this and still finding value

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

There are so many teachings in this audio book. I've booked marked it in so many places.
My biggest takeaway is to overcome my fear of putting work out there. To not go back to doing the mediocre. To create, to fail and to enjoy it along the way. Ship it. See what happens and try again.
There are also hidden lessons in here for parents. The dangers of giving kids too many activities and school work with black and white answers - the nature of these activities limits creativit and narrows their perspective so they get used things working out the right way.
This is one to listen to many times.

Worth it just for the lesson on Hope versus Expectation

Pure genius, as you'd expect from Seth Goden

Seth Godin is brilliant. In this book he clearly outlines the challenges we face when it comes to change and how fear can stop us in our tracks. He clearly can show us a new perspective and what to do to remedy it. So much gold contained in this book and it's exactly what I needed. I will certainly be reading this book again! Thank you Seth.

A magnificent read
