I was lucky enough to see Seth Godin in person this morning when he came to my neck of the woods to speak about his newest book, The Dip. (Strangely, this happened at 8:30 in the morning, at the Improv, which generally functions as a night club.)

Aside from learning all about “the dip” and getting a nice dose of inspiration, I also got to see one of the best speakers in the business doing his thing. Seth is unafraid to offend people. He says things that everyone else on the planet might think are bad, and he usually turns out to be right. He’s also very energetic, funny, and down-to-earth.

Fortunately, I got to steal a few seconds to introduce myself and say thanks. Seth contributed several quotes for Designing the Obvious, and wrote a single-sentence review of the book that gave it a great promotional boost when it was first released. It was nice to shake hands with the man himself.

If you get a shot to see him, I highly recommend it.

(The photos would be better, by the way, but all I had was a lousy camera-phone.)
