Leap First

Creating Work That Matters

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."

Second time is even better

Readings Godin's books a second time around and deciding to ship this review as a contribution to the "network". Thanks Seth Godin for your contribution to our understanding of the mechanics the survival instinct as a deterrent of our capabilities to innovate and deliver work that matters.

Get rid of the music

Love love love this book, and hearing it from the author makes it that much better. However, the music in between each section is a nuisance. I like to listen to audio books at work and the music is so loud compared to Seth’s voice that I’m constantly having to turn the volume up and down.

insightful answers to business questions that are

I need to listen to this more than once. The first time through this provokes a change in the way that I view my work. The next time I listen to this I'll be able to compare before and after.

Simply Briliant

the simplicity of words used to describe what us happening on our inside is note worthy.
everyone of us is afraid of something or what will people say. but seth has done a tremendous work by shining light to the darkness with everyone & it is only by walking towards the light with our idea that dispels that darkness of fear, rejection & doubts.

simply brilliant

Great read

Engaging and easy to listen to. New content + overlap from Seth's other books like purple cow, which reinforce certain concepts.

Outstanding!

Life changing book! Can't wait to read more from this amazing author. Mind changing work.

You just want to go and work after listening to this

Something about Seth that lets you get your butt out there and do work. He challenges you to break your fear and leap and do work. Seth says that even if you do your work for 1 person if your work can touch one person you have done great. since I started my Youtube channel in 2014, I have gotten lot of people sending me emails that my work changed them and got them promotions and it feels good. My youtube channel is still active and I post weekly about work I care about (Programming in my case) although I barely get 100 view in a video which I before I listened to Seth books I though I was failing because Im not reaching millions and millions. It turns out my work is just not for everyone. Which is fine.

Thank you

Always a wonderful motivation

Seth always sows exceptional ability to unlock those ideas and thoughts that hold us back as creatives. Everyone puts up walls and boundaries to prevent getting your work or art out to the world around, Seth tears through all that.

Seth gets it!

Seth not only gets it. He knows how to tell the story. Practice Seth's teachings and your life will improve.

well worth the time. great insights

Great "discussion" of really valuable insights and inspirations. definitely worth the 2.5 hours of time. better bang for buck than 10 hour book.
