My Take
For me, Seth Godin is the man who rewrote marketing from interruption into permission, from selling at people to keeping promises with them. Mount Vernon born, engineering at Tufts, an MBA from Stanford, then a dot-com operator turned author and relentless blogger. What impresses me most is the discipline of posting nearly every single day for years; that edge for puncturing a complex idea in a single line is not talent but accumulation. His permission-marketing thinking feels like it lapped the social-media era several times before it even arrived. A genuinely supple, generous mind, and a rare one.
