This is why people with even good intentions find themselves working on the weekend or the evenings because it's familiar.

They enjoy it and they don't have a plan to supplant it.

Helping business leaders grow themselves, their team and their profits.

This is on trade leadership.

Now here's your host, Ken Coleman.

Coming to you from the music city, this is the broadcast of leaders, by-leaders, four leaders.

Thank you so much for joining the conversation.

Here's what's coming up.

Michael Hyatt is our feature conversation.

He is the founder and CEO of his own leadership development company and his new book, Freed of Focus, is the focus of our conversation really good stuff.

So let's get you to it.

Michael Hyatt is known first and foremost as the former chairman and CEO of Thomas Nelson Publishers.

Then he walks away from that amazing publishing company and starts his own company.

And Inc. 5000 has designated it as one of its top Inc. 5000 companies.

So really, really special stuff, growing like crazy because he's helping a lot of people.

What I love about this new book, which is the focus of our conversation, is it is built from his own productivity system.

And then he took that system and he coaches his clients, his fan base, if you will.

People that subscribe to what he's doing and he knows this works.

And I love this stuff.

Some really, really good stuff. So let's get to it. Here is Michael Hyatt.

Mike Hyatt, great to have you back in studio.

First time in the new studio.
