Seth Godin and Me
You can’t orchestrate moments like this. Fortunately, though, it has been captured for posterity. Take a look at the picture below. A few things to note:
- Anne Jackson captured the picture on her cell phone. That’s her sweet tea in the foreground.
- The handsome man with the yellow tie and the green eye glasses is Seth Godin. Notice that he’s gesturing with his hand as he makes a brilliant point on marketing as only Seth could make.
- That’s me behind the sweet tea trying to eat and listen at the same time. Yes, the most-respected man in marketing was speaking and I was trying to eat my lunch. I can assure you that says far more about me than it does about Seth.
- In the background, you’ll notice a man that looks a little like Seth Godin without the yellow tie and the green eye glasses. That’s none other than Tim Stevens walking into the session a few minutes late. :-)
- Finally, there’s the set of hands to my left. I’ll send a free copy of Seth Godin’s new book, Tribes, to the first person who correctly identifies that set of hands.
You wouldn’t have believed me if I didn’t have the picture to prove it. Thanks, Anne, for capturing this great moment in church history.
Seth Godin speaking at Catalyst 2008.
Could it be the great Perry Noble?
Kem Meyer.
Ok I know I did one guess, but other two guesses would be Mark Batterson and Jon Acuff ;) sorry I had to
sorry. good guesses, but none of these are right. thanks for playing!
tony
Cynthia Ware?
i’m pretty sure kem and cynthia are going to be highly offended at those guesses. to avoid any further embarrassment, here’s the first hint…
that set of hands belongs to a man.
tony
Andy Stanley
@jaysizzle
Craig Groeschel
scott hodge
shane duffey?
we are going to be here for a while….
for those that missed the hint on twitter…
it’s not a newspringer.
tony
Steven Furtick.
Tim Stevens
Okay, I just read that Tim is in the picture. I’m slow, but I have other good qualities.
Jeff Foxworthy :)
kelly… now that’s funny.
tony
steven furtik
Franklin Graham?
Pete Wilson?
Funny but sad. You should take pity on me and give me the book.
It is Groeschel?
Jon Foreman
Andy Stanley
Carlos Whittaker the los man

Jon Foreman?
Perry Noble
Even though I already have the book, my competitive nature won’t allow me to remain silent.
Lanny Donoho?
Steve Fee
Lanny Donoho
Dave Ramsey
Matt Chandler
I’ll try again. Lanny D
Brad Cooper
Jim Collins
Do I get to guess since I was sitting at the table or would that be cheating?
man, i even recall seeing another pic someone else posted from another table that showed you guys from the side… can’t find it now. boo.
i see a wedding ring so it must be a guy who is married.
Jon Acuff
for what its worth, Pete Wilson was my first guess, but someone already guessed that. Can we keep guessing? I see a wedding ring, I think, what about Jeff Henderson?
Defintely Pete Wilson, you can see the telltale white wrist band and wedding ring on the video shot the same day here http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/773810 Boy, no Sunday Night football and a non competitive world series game leads to this, think I will go to bed
Seth had a great session at Catalyst this year, was glad I was there to get some pics too. It was a great few days in Atlanta but sure seemed to go by fast.
ok, i’m going to make a rule that people who were in the room for the session with seth can’t guess. (besides…you already received the book for free.) that means pete can’t guess. sorry.
and we know it wasn’t pete, or pete wouldn’t want to be guessing.
and it’s not ed stetzer even though he’s trying to convince me that it was.
so, here’s what we know. it’s not a woman. it’s not a single person. it’s not a newspringer. it’s not pete wilson or ed stetzer. it’s not tim stevens.
here’s one more hint for tonight. it was a senior pastor.
tony
Gary Lamb
is it Ed Young
or Francis Chand
I just pee’d down my leg a little that my name got thrown out there— hahahaha— that’s funny— “was” a senior pastor… How about Reggie J.
Could it be Bryan McGee?
Scott Hodge

Mark Batterson
My hands were to the left of the one with secret identity. Does that count for anything? It was nice to meet you at this lunch, Tony.
TeriRN – I wish.
I’m gonna go with not me. Do I win?
i’m “betting” no one is going to get this.
tony
Jud Wilhite
Is it Rick Flair?
Jud Wilhite?
Vince Antonucci
Darrell beat me to it :-)
Vince Antonucci
we have a winner! darrell correctly guessed jud wilhite, the senior pastor at central christian church in vegas.
darrell, email me your shipping address, and i’ll send you the copy of seth’s new book.
tony
i don’t think he’s wearing enough bling to be him, but Daley Hake?
oops sorry.
Very enjoyable game! And not a bad roster of you guys who were wandering around Catalyst, either. It was great to see most of you either live or backstage with Anne.
For the record, i was guess that it was Pete throwing people off by asking to guess. I guess I’m too devious.
