Story
There used to be two teams in every workplace: management and labor. Now there’s a third team, the linchpins. These people invent, lead (regardless of title), connect others, make things happen, and create order out of chaos. They figure out what to do when there’s no rule book. They delight and challenge their customers and peers. They love their work, pour their best selves into it, and turn each day into a kind of art.

Story
Every new project (or job, or hobby, or company) starts out exciting and fun. Then it gets harder and less fun, until it hits a low point: really hard, and not much fun at all. And then you find yourself asking if the goal is even worth the hassle. Maybe you're in a Dip: a temporary setback that you will overcome if you keep pushing. But maybe it's really a Cul-de-Sac, which will never get better, no matter how hard you try.

Story
Creative work doesn't come with a guarantee. But there is a pattern to who succeeds and who doesn't. And engaging in the consistent practice of its pursuit is the best way forward. Based on the breakthrough Akimbo workshop pioneered by legendary author Seth Godin, The Practice will help you get unstuck and find the courage to make and share creative work. Godin insists that writer's block is a myth, that consistency is far more important than authenticity, and that experiencing the imposter syndrome is a sign that you're a well-adjusted human.

Story
Every marketer tells a story. And if they do it right, we believe them. We believe that wine tastes better in a $20 glass than a $1 glass. We believe that an $80,000 Porsche Cayenne is vastly superior to a $36,000 VW Touareg, which is virtually the same car. We believe that $225 Pumas will make our feet feel better, and look cooler, than $20 no-names... and believing it makes it true.

Publisher's Summary
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."

great content, bad division into too few chapters
Really excellent content and reading. Only complaint is the chunks of music between segments that can't be skipped because the whole text only has two "chapters".

Wisdom sprinkled across an important lesson
I'm currently struggling to stick to doing my best creative work recently and this book helped me realize i fall, as it explains, into one of the many traps of putting off our best work to do busy work instead. I always trick myself into this cycle of starting my best work but then constantly jumping into other projects at the same time.
This is a great book if you're in a similar lost situation with yourself and your creative work and a perfect reminder to act like a professional and always do your work regardless of literally everything else that creates an excuse for you.

My go to recording, when I’m down
This is Seth Godin at his best. This is the type of recording you you will want to revisit over and over again, especially if you have self doubts about being creative.
The recording is the perfect length. The lessons and ideas are very uplifting. I wish I discovered this years ago, but I am very happy that I finally found it.
Listen with an open mind. Apply the ideas to your life and start a rucks. #Audible1

Disjointed
Had no idea what he was talking about. Very unfocused and felt like he just rambled on and on.
