Seth Godin is a best selling author, entrepreneur and public speaker. Seth has wrote over 20 best selling books around the world. On this episode, James and Seth, talk about his new book  "The Practice: Shipping Creative work" and what goes into "The Practice." In many ways, Seth is an antidote for all the messages you hear about short term success, he believes more in the long-term "process" or practice including all failures. Seth also speaks about the role of storytelling, the stories we tell ourselves and the relationship with those stories and our behavior. To end the episode, James and Seth speak about doing the work out of generosity.
