Michael Hyatt

Hyatt ran Thomas Nelson, a large American religious publisher, as chief executive before leaving to sell productivity systems to executives. Platform is about building an audience, written at the point when publishers had started asking authors to arrive with one already. Living Forward, with Daniel Harkavy, proposes writing your own eulogy first and working backwards from it into a life plan. His company sells planners, courses and coaching, and the books are the door into all of that.
