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

I'm your host each week on Tuesdays and Fridays where Franklin Covey shines its spotlight onto thought leaders

that have a common approach to life as we do, who have a common mission to make you a better

leader formally or informally. Our firm, Franklin Covey, is the most trusted leadership firm in the

world, founded in part by Dr. Stephen R. Covey. You of course know him as

the author of the seminal book, The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, and now we help

organizations and people everywhere around the world discover greatness inside themselves

and, like I said, become great leaders. Each week we have conversations with

remarkable thought leaders, academics, best-selling authors, business titans,

entrepreneurs, people from all walks of life. Today our guest is a family friend.

He is an icon here where Franklin Covey is headquartered in Utah. He is a well-known

coach, author, and consultant. His name is Alan Fine. And his

best-selling book is titled, You Already Know How to Be Great, a Simple Way to Remove Interference,

and unlock Your Greatest Potential. Excited to hear what the interferences are in our life that we need to

remove, because I could certainly use that. Alan Fine, welcome to On Leadership.

Hi, glad to be here. Alan, so we'll talk about the book, how to be great, how to remove

interferences, all those things in a couple of minutes.

But for those people who may not have read your book or be familiar with you or your firm,

would you take a few minutes and reorient us to where you've dedicated your life,

what your passionate expertise is, and then we'll kind of dive into some of the concepts of your book?

So it started for me as a teenager. I played a lot of tennis.

And I went to college to study optometry. And I was teaching tennis to help pay my way through.
