Seth Godin is known for being a pioneer of internet marketing, his books, and his legendary blog. However, what I loved about this interview was the willingness to challenge me- the public teacher. This back and forth with Hunter and I was a great dialogue of what education isn't, but also what it *could be. Also, his "question" at the end is amazing. Listen and profit from this interview. Please comment and share if it brings you value.
