Oh yes, wild web readers, your eyes are no failing you….as if our Marketing Man Crushes wasn’t outrageous enough, the wild women at SMARTY are on a mission….to get Seth Godin, marketing god, to come to LA to speak to their amazing group of femme-preneurs.
1. Reading in Bed is relaxing….you retain more information when you’re not stressed. This means every word Seth Godin says would go into that file in your brain which actually remembers, uses and reuses key information.
Buh-bye classroom hello Pratesi sheets!
2. Good ideas come with a good night’s sleep: Maximum opportunity for synthesis and application since you could get him when he’s not only fresh and perky, but when your OWN brain is at its best!
3. We take in ideas better when we are not distracted; getting Seth Godin in bed is a very focused place to take it all in, especially if you can lock the bedroom door so he can’t escape (we recommend giving him breakfast though. Even a genius needs to eat.)
4. Studies show that great ideas often come when “not working.” So instead of keeping pen and paper by your bed, just roll over and tell Seth! He’ll tell you the truth about whether it’s a good idea or not, and better, what to do about it if it is.
5. There’s nothing like eating a Meatball Sundae in bed. YUM!
6. Transparency in business is very sexy, and so is Seth’s very bald head.
7. Having Seth next to you in bed puts “passion and a person with lot’s of friends” all in one place. How efficient!
8. We could shave the bear and settle for less compelling marketing gurus to feed our hungry SMARTY souls; or we could just create a campaign that feels kinda’ like a love letter to get him to come speak to our massive crew.
9. Seth isn’t big on replication/Retweeting/responding. He likes initiation and so do we. We could really show him how inventive we are…..(drum roll as you open the fortune cookie)…..in BED.
10. If you got all 478 SMARTIES in bed with Seth, that’s a lot of Purple Cows. Plus if we brought friends…
Seth if you’re reading this, please consider that we would love nothing more than an hour of undiluted Seth
in the Los Angeles area, anytime, anywhere, to speak to the SMARTY www.smartypeople.com membership.
We’ll do all the heavy lifting. We’ll have your favorite water and chocolate and…..well……anything else you like for bed (or stage.) You don’t even have to write a speech. We’ll interview you. It will be so easy, so fun (I know it sounds like a one night stand but really we’d love to have an LTR.) What are our chances?

Hot!
I for one propose that all the beautiful and brainy women of Smarty show up in their PJ’s! Imagine the news story…
“Seth Godin drew a shockingly dressed and fantastic crowd tonight in LA, filled with SMARTY Entrepreneur Bedtimes Stories, late night canoodling over Transparency and Synergy, and Seth’s Sweet Nothings, whispered to an eager crowd…”
Moo!
