Lead on Purpose with James Laughlin From Building Empires to Raising Kids: The Truth About Leadership and Life with Scott Miller
In this episode, I sit down with Scott Jeffrey Miller, a former Chief Marketing Officer at FranklinCovey and bestselling author, to explore his remarkable journey from building a global leadership empire to embracing radical honesty in his personal and professional life.
Scott shares candid insights into his 25+ years at FranklinCovey, his experiences working closely with Stephen Covey’s legacy, and how he’s applied the principles of leadership and purpose to his roles as a parent, speaker, and author.
We cover:
- Scott’s journey from Disney to FranklinCovey and how he helped grow the company into a global leader in personal development.
- The biggest lessons from Stephen Covey, including the difference between efficiency and effectiveness in relationships.
- How fear has driven his success and the double-edged nature of ambition.
- Radical honesty in parenting and leadership, and why embracing your flaws can create deeper connections.
- Scott’s parenting philosophy, the challenges he faces, and how he co-authored a book with his son to teach life lessons.
If you’re curious about what it takes to lead with purpose, embrace vulnerability, and balance the messiness of life, this honest and engaging conversation with Scott Miller will inspire you to reflect on your own journey.
