Last month, I wrote more blog posts in 29 days than I had in the entire years of 2013 and 2012.

My average was about two posts per month for all of 2014. Then in December, I ramped up with a hockey stick curve.

Why? I committed to put up a blog post every day. Here are a few takeaways that I…

And I replied with the creation of this blog.

My answer? I've sent her back a challenge of my own. Here it is:

Hello Winnie

Namaste special projects lead for Seth

Bonjour,

My name is Daniel.

I’m a yoga teacher, blogger, web tv and radio startup person.

I decided to abandon any possibility to interview Seth Godin at my Blog Talk Radio Show (BTR).Why
do I quit? I called his assistant and he told me no (gently, politely,
I might add) in such a way that I understood I was dreaming on cloud
nine. Yet, I’m still following and am a fervent adept of Seth’s work, I
listen to his youtube conferences, etc. (I admit, I never purchased one
of his book, one day it will come :-)

I was told I can’t not interview Seth for my web tv / radio start up
so I went and did an interview (in English) of someone else. In fact,
if you look at the BTR show, it is not even me who did the interview.
My English (spoken that is) is not that great. French is my mother
tongue and like TS Garp, I’m terribly shy.
I would, instead, be the translator so that those who know Seth (and
may be yourself) for one of his translated book will hear him if he
accpets to be part of this web radio show.

When

I’m certain your plate is full. You decide the time and date
and I’ll adpat to your choice. The ideal situation would be that you
give me some lead time so I can book studio time, etc.

Therefore Winnie, I would like to ask you to participate in my web
radio show where you would interview Seth. I’d be behind the console.
You and Seth (where ever you are in the world, the BTR app let’s
participants use land line telephone) would be talking. You ask him the
kind of question the audience would like to ask and he would answer.

If you available and up to the challenge (BTW I am participating at your 7 day challenge, tks for the invite)

So far so good?

No catch, no surprise question. I’ll be at your service for the
duration of the web radio show. Once the show is done, I’ll send you the
raw .mp3 file if your not sure how to go and grab it.

Why am I being so generous?

That is my dharma, my “raison d’être”.

Looking forward to see if you will accept my challenge ;-)

And if you can’t, if you don’t, remember with me, failing does not exist ;-)

Daniel.
