Seth Said What? is a short-form podcast where a brother and sister riff on the timeless (and timely) ideas of Seth Godin.
Each episode starts with a spark — a line from Seth’s blog, a moment from his books, or a concept from a talk — and we run with it: reacting, questioning, laughing, and applying it to the creative, entrepreneurial, and very human mess of everyday life.
It’s part tribute, part think-aloud, and 100% unofficial.
Whether you're a longtime fan of Seth or just love fresh ideas and real conversation, this podcast will make you pause, smile, and maybe even ship your next big thing.
🎧 Short episodes. Big ideas. Just enough ruckus to keep you moving.

Safe Spaces for Dangerous Ideas: Innovating with Confidence
In this episode, we discuss today’s article from Seth called ‘On Making It Worse (https://seths.blog/2025/10/on-making-it-worse/),’ which challenges us to consider how someone with more skill and dedication could improve the current work we’re doing. We talk about personal experiences of job transitions and the importance of taking bold actions and making improvements despite fear. That got Holly on her soapbox of cultivating healthy workplace cultures rather than cultures of fear and practical steps to audit one’s work and life for continuous improvement. We hope you’re encouraged to embrace creative possibilities, take actionable steps towards personal and professional growth, and reflect on the value of having the courage to make changes. Let’s go!

What If We Lived Each Day as our Last?
Daniel wasn’t able to make it today, so you’ve got me, Holly! I tried calling a couple folks who were all tied up, so I thought I’d talk to the camera myself today.
Today’s article from Seth (https://seths.blog/2025/10/the-future/) invites us to spend our time and energy on inventing the future rather than worrying about the now.
What does inventing the future look like for you?
P.S. It cut me off at the end because I accidentally hit my keyboard, sorry!
