I Just Had the Honor of Meeting Seth Godin - Marketing Guru

You may know that I began blogging because of Seth Godin - In fact, the very first blog post I ever wrote on Active Rain was a Book Review on Small is the New Big - by Seth Godin. If you do NOT know of him, you need to check out Seth's blog. You also should check out all the easy-read books that he writes about marketing ... the NEW marketing.

He is a cultural icon - a man whose creativity reaches beond all other merketers out there.

I recently attended the 2008 Keller Williams Reunion, in Atlanta, GA (In fact I am still here as I write this ...) and our keynote speaker was Seth Godin ... BOY! I was excited!

His presentation was absolutely amazing, as he spoke about his new book: The Dip.

Once he was done with his presentation, he was in a mad dash for his next event. However, I WAS able to get a picture taken with him. Words cannot even express how excited I was to meet and speak (briefly) with someone who I believe to be one of the sharpest minds in marketing.

Mariana - Very cool. He is great - I love his stuff. You are so fortunate to be able to hear him live - I have not, yet. Hope you come home with lots of good stuff for your business.

After meeting the man in person, I can imagine his books and blog will take on even more meaning for you. That's a great pic that is sure to keep you motivated! Between today's keynote and your presentation on blogging (which I heard got great reviews), this Family Reunion will certainly be a landmark in your RE.net/KW career. Now we need to tackle Squidoo!

Hi Jeff! Hearing him live is amazing. Completely amazing!I plan on it! My brain is very full...

John! I so wish that you were here! Tackling squidoo ... How about SqidZipper.com?

You lucky girl! or is it bravery, the other rushed out the door and you rushed up to the stage. See you tomorrow.

Mariana That means I have one degree of separation from Seth Godin because I met you! Or are you one degree and I'm two? I never did understand that..... Anyhow, congratulations!

P.S. we need to drive some traffic to the Official Family Reunion blog so that they keep it up!

Mariana, thanks for mentioning this event at the Family reunion! I will have to check out his books and blogs. I wish I could have made to the KW Reunion this year - hopefully next year!

Mariana, I was fortunate to hear Seth's keynote address, as well! How wonderful that you got to meet him and now have a picture of the two of you! I feel like my brain is overflowing, too- and my heart, after this morning's Inspirational Brunch!

Mariana,

Seth was incredible and energizing......he made a great impression on me.

Hey Mariana - how cool for you to have met one of your idols!! And I bet you hang onto that picture for a long time to come. I did squidzipper yesterday after hearing about it on one of the other networks I belong to. Now I really can be the Mayor of Portsmouth!! ;-)

Heard you did an AWESOME job on your talk about blogging!

Hi Mariana, I too saw Seth Godin up close and personal on the big screens and the stage. I had hoped there would be a book signing because I wanted to meet him. Wonderful Family Reunion. My first. I have been to church conventions but when I saw and heard there were 8,500 people, I honestly was overwhelmed. Unfortunately, I missed your presentation BECAUSE I did not know to look on the big banners for the Bonus presentations. I saw it a few hours too late... I knew to look for you because of AR but did not know where to find you. Sorry I missed it. Back to Seth.... great speaker. I had the Dip with me. I was able to follow along with him in the book because I had read it already. May I plug the book, THE DIP for all of you who have ever QUIT something and who may be contemplating QUITTING something. It is worthy of reading. I am now reading his other publications.

Just a footnote. Did you know that he had to get prepared for his presentation, get packed up to check out of his hotel WITHOUT electricity? THEN he had to carry his luggage and walk down 52 flights of stairs to leave the hotel. That hotel lost power at 5:00AM that morning. He looked relaxed and cool as a cucumber that morning.

Family Reunion was great. Education without Implementation is just Entertainment. I am busy implementing what I took away.
