In this interview, Seth Godin discusses AI, branding, marketing, and strategy with David Gardner and Andy Cross. Godin shares his perspective on how AI is changing the creative process, emphasizing its potential for community amplification rather than just knowledge. He touches on the importance of consistency over authenticity in branding, using examples like Nike and Google. Godin also revisits his concept of permission marketing, contrasting it with interruption tactics, and stresses the need for earning genuine consent. The conversation shifts to the concept of "cheating" by building unique assets, drawing from his book "Purple Cow," and concludes with a discussion on strategy, highlighting the key components of systems, time, and games, as detailed in his new book, "This Is Strategy, Make Better Plans."
