In a world overflowing with noise, how do you make sure your work gets noticed? Seth Godin’s 'The Icarus Deception' argues that the only way to make a real impact is to make a ruckus—to stand out, challenge the status quo, and create work that sparks conversation.
Godin explains that remarkable work is rarely safe or universally loved. The most impactful artists, entrepreneurs, and leaders are those who aren’t afraid to be different, to be misunderstood, or even to be disliked by some. Choosing your audience and serving them deeply is the key to building a legacy.
The blog explores how to find your voice, embrace discomfort, and use your platform to make positive change. It shares stories of people who made a ruckus and changed the world—not by being loud, but by being true to themselves and their vision.
In the end, the world doesn’t need more of the same. It needs your unique perspective, your courage, your art.
