What goes around…

12 years ago, Seth Godin turned me down for a job at Yoyodyne. Today, he pimped out HARO.

Sweet, sweet redemption.

Maybe you weren’t the right man for the job at the time. Update us to why he turned you down and who his chose at that time.

Personally, I would feel so grateful if Seth chose to write about me, never mind the redemption thing. Besides, who wants a job when they can be their own boss? Maybe he did you a favor :) I wonder if you would have created HARO if he had hired you, maybe you would still be “working for” Seth. :P

That is a wonderful story! Goes to show that nothing can stop a person determined to be successful!
