Michael is currently the Chairman of Thomas Nelson Publishers, the largest Christian publisher in the world and the seventh largest trade book publisher in the United States. He began his career at Word Publishing while a senior at Baylor University.

Interview Topics
In a world where consumers are swamped from every direction by all sorts of media, having a good product or brand is simply no longer enough—you’re also going to need a good platform. What is a platform, and who needs one? You’ll find out in this foundational interview.
Starting a platform takes more than computer literacy and a bit of technical know-how. It takes the right mindset and capacity for thinking bigger than you’ve ever thought before. And although you’ll be the driving force behind its creation, there are some things you won’t be able to do alone. In this interview, Michael illuminates the critical intangibles and team members you will need in order to set yourself up for success.
Many people already have their own blog, Twitter, and Facebook accounts, but still can’t seem to gain any traction. However, there are a few key areas they can focus on that make the difference between a mediocre platform and a great one. These are all techniques Michael has learned in his 6+ years of running his own platform, a period in which he has learned what works…and what definitely doesn’t. His experience will allow newer platform builders to avoid all the common pitfalls.
Sample Interview Questions
- What is a platform?
- Why do people need a platform in today’s world?
- Why do you say now is the best time to start building a platform?
- Why does a person with a job need a platform?
- Why does a person with a compelling product need a platform?
- How did you get interested in the topic of platforms? What does your own platform look like?
- Once you have a platform, how do you go about creating a compelling product?
- What mistakes did you make that others should avoid when building their platform?
- What do you say to those who claim to be too busy to build a platform?
- Who would benefit from this book?
- How can you monetize a platform without selling your soul?
- What role has social media played in developing your platform?
- Your book has five parts, which you refer to as “the five Platform directives.” Briefly, what are those?
- Why do think it is important to “Start with Wow”?
- What do you cover in “Prepare to Launch?”
- In section 3, you say “Build Your Home Base”… what do you mean by that and how do the various social networks figure into the equation?
- Once you have a home base, how do you “Expand Your Reach”? In other words, how do you get the word out and build traffic?
- Why is customer engagement more important than market reach?
- How do you “Engage Your Tribe”?
- You obviously have built an enormous tribe. But what do you say to the people who say, “As the CEO of a major company, you had a head start. I could never do that?”
