If you missed it live last Thursday my guest on the ShoeMoney show was Seth Godin. Seth was a great interview and had some very interesting viewpoints.
We talked about a lot of things going on in the world of marketing. Even touched on the recent FTC activity with affiliate marketers.

Great interview. Really enjoyed it.

Great interview. Thanks for putting this together, I really enjoyed listening. Seth is such a great thinker.
April 13, 2009 at 5:02 pm
I wrote Seth and email about Unleashing the Ideavirus about six months ago, and he responded to me with a few hours too. He’s great
Awesome interview Jeremy! It was really sincere and you asked really real questions.
April 11, 2009 at 11:15 am
I think this interview will get the place on hall of fame. Certainly great and its really nice to hear that Seth was crystal clear in his view.
Really remarkable.

thanks for posting this, I missed the live show.

I agree that the internet needs to be regulated more and more since we are going to it more and more for our everyday information as well as products. The purple cow thing was different but it sounded like that idea sounds like it would work.
April 9, 2009 at 3:30 am
Seth is nice. he’s awesome. Keep it up, man.!
April 8, 2009 at 10:55 pm
I heard Set also majoring Philosophy>I guess that’s why he got so intuitive and aspire many of us.Thanks
April 8, 2009 at 10:25 pm
Good Stuff!
I have read some of Seth’s books and certainly have to respect his opinions. Makes a good point about government intervention but there is a fine line I wish not crossed.
April 8, 2009 at 8:15 pm
Ayn Rand died lonely and bitter, and all of her thousand-mile-staring acolytes have a similar destiny. For cogent arguments against her “religion masquerading as philosophy”, try http://www-personal.umich.edu/~jsku/TOC.html

What’s the deal with all the keyword stuffed usernames on this blog?
That being said, what is your guys opinion about the economy and recession? Maybe the banks do need to be bailed out.
April 8, 2009 at 7:59 pm
I started listening more to Seth when I caught his tribes information. Great stuff!
April 8, 2009 at 5:31 pm
Great work Shoe. I understand this may be way too much trouble, but is it possible to transcribe your shows? I only ask because I read a lot faster than I listen, and if there are others like me out there, this could be a huge timesaver.
If it’s too much of a hassle, no worries
April 8, 2009 at 3:50 pm
Seth is Awesome, He is much more than an internet marketer people. Pick up any of his books and you can see that. He is The Marketer. Thanks for the interview Shoe!
April 8, 2009 at 3:32 pm
Downloading it. Seth Godin is one marketing guru who knows what he is talking.
April 8, 2009 at 1:38 pm
I am so mad that I missed this!!! This seemed interesting
April 8, 2009 at 12:20 pm
I just ordered two Seth books on Amazon – always wanted to get them but just needed one more reminder and here it was.
Loved interview until the Ayn Rand cheap shot. You mentioned the iframes problem as an example of why we need government, yet it was private enterprise (your company fixed it in 24 hours and search engines re-adjusted within 6 months) that addressed that problem dramatically more efficiently than any government proposed solution ever for anything. Watch your logic.
April 8, 2009 at 12:37 pm
I think your pretty mixed up… the squidoo iframes problem has nothing to do with the government…
April 8, 2009 at 2:02 pm
Hate to leave you thinking I’m mixed up. Let me try again.
This quote by Seth in your interview was an unfair insult to Ayn Rand and her fans: “In Ayn Rand’s world there are no anonymous people.” Implying, and paraphrasing, “that’s why we need government in the real world.”
We Rand fans would say that anonymous people of course exist, but businesses generally deal with anonymous people much better than the government. And Seth’s story about anonymous bad actors using iframes on squidoo was a perfect example. Squido and Google fixed the problem much faster than government ever could.
This is why I expect more improvement to come from companies (ISPs, search engines, web publishers, etc.) – even in the area of fighting scammers and spammers – than I ever expect to come from government.
April 8, 2009 at 3:01 pm
Ahh I see what you are saying now. I did not understand that you were interpreting Seth saying he wishes there was no anonymous people to meaning we need government intervention.
I have to tell you I dont have near the attention that seth has but thinking about a world where nobody could be anonymous and people would have to own up to what they say everywhere they say it sounds nice to me at first… but thats just so I can track down weasel keyboard warriors.
You have a interesting view point.
April 8, 2009 at 11:55 am
Sweet was looking forward to this!

Awesome interview. I need to buy a few of his books.
April 8, 2009 at 11:13 am
I need to go find my copy of “Tribes” again… I think that it’s time for a re-read. Such a good book.
April 8, 2009 at 10:35 am
Seth know what is talking about…
April 8, 2009 at 10:23 am
Great interview jeremy, Seth know’s what he’s talking about when it comes to IM.
April 8, 2009 at 7:14 am
great and awesome interview.i like it.thanks to sharing it.
April 8, 2009 at 4:27 am
Awesome interview, Seth is an inspiration for many of us
April 8, 2009 at 2:24 am
Besides that, any ideal to get closer about Seth …him ?
April 8, 2009 at 2:23 am
Good and thanks for sharing…
April 8, 2009 at 2:12 am
I have read your article, I think very popular with
April 8, 2009 at 12:57 am
Great interview. Always enjoyable to here Seth talk.
April 8, 2009 at 12:06 am
Seth is one of my first idol that inspires me to blog. I can say he is a IM genius.
April 8, 2009 at 2:11 am
I definately agree that he is an IM genious. Though he was not one to inspire me. I found out about him long after starting my own blog.
Go Seth!
April 7, 2009 at 10:28 pm
Seth is genius… I’m a blog reader of him 4 years ago.
April 7, 2009 at 9:15 pm
Makes me want to work on some lenses for some decent backlinks to my affiliate sites.
April 7, 2009 at 9:02 pm
I have to honestly say that before today I’ve never thought of Seth Godin. I wander if he ever went back to that teacher to show him/her that he actually did make something of himself.
April 7, 2009 at 8:40 pm
Seth is simply amazing…. great interview.
April 7, 2009 at 8:31 pm
Not to comment hijack, but while this Seth scoop is (typically) Tier 1 content here, the real breaking news is the Google Adwords story – I realize that since litigation is involved, you may not really be at ease to write about it (unless I missed an article?)
That said, I’m sure we would love to read that pending story from your POV.
April 7, 2009 at 6:52 pm
I was hoping you would post this as I missed the show live. Good Stuff
April 7, 2009 at 6:43 pm
going through this and must note that its really informative thus far! good one worth downloading.
April 7, 2009 at 6:34 pm
Nice interview Jeremy, thanks!
