This week’s guest, Michael Hyatt, is the former CEO and current Chairman of Thomas Nelson Publishers. He is also an author and speaker and blogs every day at MichaelHyatt.com. You can also follow him on Twitter. He and Andy discuss why building a platform for yourself is more important (and easier) now than ever. You also get to hear Andy sing part of his famous “Happy Birthday” song! Andy would not have a career as an author if it were not for Michael · He was the CEO of Thomas Nelson when Andy was attempting to publish The Traveler’s Gift · Michael showed Andy’s manager, Robert, how to write a great book proposal for The Traveler’s Gift · Andy gave the manuscript to Michael’s wife, Gail, which led to the contract for the book Michael’s new book, Platform: Get Noticed in a Noisy World, is being released on May 22, Andy’s birthday · Andy says this is one of the few new books that will actually break new ground for readers · This is the book Michael wishes he could put in the hands of every author he ever had to turn away as a publisher because they didn’t have a platform · The game has changed because it’s easier now than ever to have your own platform thanks to the Internet and the rise of social media and blogging · This book will show you, step-by-step, how to build your platform · This is a book for anyone who thinks they may want to write a book, for anyone who wants to increase the membership in their church, for anyone who wants to become a speaker or performer One problem today is that so many people are waiting to be picked. They think no one will ever notice them. · Because of the tools available to us now, that excuse is gone · If you want to know how to utilize those tools, Platform will show you how · The best time to build a platform is before you need it · The best time to build one was 10 years ago, the second best time is today If you purchase Platform during the first week of its release, you can e-mail the receipt to Michael and you will receive $375 worth of free bonus content.

Chris LoCurto is the host of Dave Ramsey’s EntreLeadership podcast, which Andy was a guest on a few weeks ago (you can listen to the episode here). You can find Chris at http://ChrisLoCurto.com and www.twitter.com/ChrisLoCurto. Andy asks Chris: “What is the coolest thing going on your life right now?” • Chris says teaching business owners and leaders the information from EntreLeadership is the most exciting thing for him • Andy thinks EntreLeadership is an important book because it gives business owners a direction that they previously couldn’t put into words The lesson from EntreLeadership that has the biggest impact is personality styles • We give direction the same way we like to receive direction • If you try to give someone direction that way they don’t like to receive information, you’ll never get through to them • As a leader, it’s your job to learn how to communicate to people in a way they will understand, not theirs • Responsibility is great because it gives us hope and control over situations When you can change the culture of where you spend your most time (for most, your workplace), it starts changing the way you look at everything: • Your family • Your kids • What you do on your weekends When your home life, finances, or personal fulfillment is suffering, it’s inevitable that your work performance will also suffer • This is why Andy’s message works for companies in every industry • Regardless of your profession, the principles of leadership and entrepreneurship apply to you, because we’re all in sales Questions for Listeners • What’s the best example of leadership you’ve ever seen? o Phone: 1-800-726-ANDY o E-Mail: InTheLoop@AndyAndrews.com o Facebook.com/AndyAndrews o Twitter.com/AndyAndrews |

Comedian Ken Davis is the special guest on this week’s episode of In the Loop. Things get funny quickly, but there are also key moments of inspiration that make this an episode you won’t forget. How did Ken and Andy meet? • They met during Andy’s early years in comedy • He opened for Ray Charles and Roseanne Barr opened for him • Andy describes Ken as a model for him because he’s a comedian who appeals to both Christians and non-Christians Ken has a movie, Fully Alive, that will be released on DVD soon • It’s all about living your life with intention • We should not sleepwalk through life, just waiting for things to happen to us • We have to be intentional about creating the life we want by making intentional choices Quote from Ken: “Life doesn’t have a winner’s circle—it just has a finish line.” • How do you want to go through the finish line? • We need to stop watching other people live and get out and experience things for ourselves Ken explains how and why he lost 60 pounds • Because of the weight, he was no longer to effectively do the things he was created to do • He signed up for a triathlon before he’d lost a pound Questions for Listeners How are you living a life of intention? How do you want to go through life’s finish line? Phone: 1-800-726-ANDY E-Mail: InTheLoop@AndyAndrews.com Facebook.com/AndyAndrews Twitter.com/AndyAndrews |
