Why Seth Godin is Brenden’s Hero
Brenden Kumarasamy is back in this episode with some amazing insights he has learned from his hero, Seth Godin.
Brenden is one of Seth Godin’s biggest fans. Before he dies, he wants to read Seth’s biography. And it’s no wonder because Seth isn’t afraid to take risks. His humor, brilliance, and gift for public speaking are inspiring. He’s an excellent facilitator who coaches entrepreneurs to master public speaking & share their ideas. He can also do karaoke in 8 different languages.
Seth’s goal is to simplify public speaking so much that the whole idea of Glossophobia (fear of public speaking) doesn’t exist at all.
In the previous interviews with Billy, Brenden talked about his life and the art of public speaking. Today marks his third time on the show, where he shares with us the reason why Seth Godin is his hero, the valuable insights that he has gained from Seth, how Karaoke helped him with the pronunciation of different languages, finding the steps to living a great life, and motivating others to do so. He also shares some critiques and advice for Seth Godin.
