Seth Godin, dubbed “America’s Greatest Marketer.” His latest book is “The Icarus Deception: How High Will you Fly?

Seth Godin has written seventeen books, including “Tribes,” “Linchpin” and “Poke The Box“, that have been translated into more than thirty languages. Every one has been a bestseller. He writes about the post-industrial revolution, the way ideas spread, marketing, quitting, leadership and most of all, changing everything.

American Way Magazine calls him, “America’s Greatest Marketer”. In his latest book, The Icarus Deception, How High Will You Fly, Mr. Godin reveals why playing it safe can be risky business. His recent Kickstarter campaign for The Icarus Deception broke records for its size and the speed that it reached its goal.

As an entrepreneur, he has founded dozens of companies, most of which failed. Yoyodyne, his first internet company, was funded by Flatiron and Softbank and acquired by Yahoo! in 1998. It pioneered the use of ethical direct mail online, something Seth calls Permission Marketing. He was VP of Direct Marketing at Yahoo! for a year.

His latest company, Squidoo.com, is ranked among the top 50 sites in the US (by traffic) by Quantcast. It allows anyone (even you) to build a page about any topic you’re passionate about. The site raises money for charity and pays royalties to its million plus members.
