Hello and welcome back to Franklin Covey's Twice Weekly podcast on leadership with Scott Miller.

I am your host now for nearly seven years, 500 interviews, both in audio and video format,

that released twice weekly on Tuesdays and Fridays, all designed to make you a better leader.

Franklin Covey, of course, known as the world's most trusted leadership firm, founded decades ago

in part by Stephen Covey, the author of the incomparably impactful book,

The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People. I think this book now has sold close to 70 million

copies across, gosh, countless numbers of languages and cultures. Been honored to be associated

with this firm for nearly 30 years and the host of this podcast

since its inception. We weekly, twice weekly, spotlight remarkable people, entrepreneurs,

solopreneurs, entrepreneurs, entrepreneurs, CEOs, mid-level leaders, first, time leaders,

academics, researchers, stay-at-home parents, people that have researched

a topic and have written about it to change people's lives with an abundance mentality.

Sometimes we interview people that aren't a household name or a celebrity, but have maybe

experienced or suffered in some cases an unspeakable setback or tragedy,

and have built the courage and vulnerability and willpower to teach through it.

And then there are people that kind of coordinate all those together, like today's guest,

and have written multiple books because it's their mission and their passion.

They're extraordinarily mission-driven.

Today's guest is Kristen Welch. She's a six-time author. She is the CEO and founder of Mercy House

Global in a book that I absolutely absorbed and fell in love with because as the father and co-parent

of three young boys with my wife, Stephanie,

this book really resonated with me.
