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

That's me. I am your host and interviewer each week. Six years, 400 episodes, the world's largest weekly leadership podcast,

where Tuesdays and Fridays, we curate conversations with people from all walks of life designed to make you a better leader, to make you more effective.

Franklin Covey is the sponsor of this podcast, the world's most trusted leadership

firm, and I'm privileged to talk with academics, researchers, CEOs, business titans, creators,

artists, entrepreneurs, entrepreneurs, entrepreneurs, solopreneurs, Pulitzer Prize winning,

Emmy winning, Tony winning, you name it, we have interviewed some of the most influential minds in the world.

Sometimes they are household names, sometimes they are best-selling authors.

Sometimes you may have never heard of them because they have survived or lived through some spectacular tragedy, some unspeakable setback, and they've summoned the

energy and the courage, the care, to teach us lessons through that. Today our guest is the lead

author of 11 books in this series known to many as the 1001 Things I Learned series.

He is a writer.

He is a designer.

You'll learn a lot about him.

But I'm focusing on Matthew Frederick today because he's done something I think no one else has done.

He has led the curation of this 11 book series. I'm going to guess there'll be more in it,

where there is a co-author that is also a subject matter expert on 11 varied topics that I think

you will find riveting today. Will water ski across all things related to writing because so many of you,

our listeners and viewers, I'll bet, are writing still in some

capacity. You haven't fully outsourced it to chat GPT yet, whether you're writing blogs or

LinkedIn post or short or long-form opinion columns or your authors yourself. I think you'll learn a lot

from our teacher today, Matthew Frederick. Matthew, welcome to On Leadership.
