I am so excited to welcome back, THE Michael Hyatt, Inside the Greenroom! There are very few people who have impacted my life as much as he has. From business, family, productivity, and more, Michael has helped me grow in many areas of my life. I am not kidding when I say I have consumed almost every bit of content he has ever put out. One of Michael Hyatt’s biggest strengths is creating and casting a powerful vision. This skill is what he used to rise above an economic crisis and brought himself, his team, and company out of uncertainty and into prosperity. Hearing Michael’s story just blows me away.
