Hello and welcome back to Franklin Covey's on leadership series.

My name is Scott Miller and as you know I serve as your weekly host and interviewer.

Now we only have 52 episodes a year so we're very careful about thought leaders, CEOs, best-selling authors, business titans,

you know, people who have an interesting point of view that often support our own point of view

around executing strategy, building a high trust culture, achieving

greatness.

So we're quite deliberate around who we invite to come on to the On Leadership Series.

We say no to 90% of the inquiries that come in to our production team.

Our next guest is a little counterintuitive to who we typically interview for Franklin Covey's

on Leadership Series.

His name is Mark Manson.

He's a world-renowned blogger, author, thought leader.

And he authored one of many books, including one that you know well, called The Subtle

Art of Not Giving an F. Now listen I'm no pansy right but at respect

to the genteel nature and sensitivity of our listeners I'm not going to drop the F-bomb

unlike I occasionally do in my house which I'm not going to drop the F bomb unlike I occasionally do in my house which I'm not proud of in front of our three sons

But out of respect to you all I'll let Mark drop those bombs if he so chooses the subtle art of not giving an F a counterintuitive approach to living

a good life. This book has sold over 12 million copies.

I mean, that will take your breath away.

As you know, I'm in the book business.

I read a few books, I've authored a few books,

I've published and contracted with a lot of books and a lot of publishers.
