Hello and welcome back to Franklin Covey's weekly on leadership series. My name is Scott Miller and I serve as your ongoing host and interviewer.

Today is indeed a special day because our parents have and Don't tell you who was which parent, but my twin fraternal brother, Chris Manchezny, is here on set today.

I used to be able to compete with you for this kind of nonsense and you have left me far behind.

People will ask us, is this energy real? It's real.

It is. It is. Our energy could probably fuel a rocket ship, right? Which Branson might like.

Yeah, they don't normally let us in the same room together.

They don't.

But hang on for the ride today.

So honestly, honestly, a true delight say to have Chris McChesney, who is Franklin Covey's global practice

leader, which means he's our expert on the topic of execution. He also is the lead author, co-author of one of

our best-selling books, The Forward Dispose Execution, which congratulations has now sold

over 500,000 copies.

We have authors in every week here, sometimes virtually, sometimes live,

but it's rare to have an author who's sold, you know, a half million copies.

That's a lot of reads, Chris.

Congratulations to you. Thank you. Tell us a lot of reads, Chris. Congratulations to you.

Thank you.

Tell us a bit about your journey here.

I'd love to know kind of not here to the studio, but how do you think this book has done so well?

What was the process of writing it?

What was the genesis of birthing this book?

I guess maybe close to seven plus years ago.
