Thomas Nelson CEO Is Excited About Christian Retail

by Marcus on April 18, 2008

Just found this via a Twitter from Michael Hyatt. It’s five parts–and he spends the intro of part one centering everyone on the reason for the industry with bits and pieces of his personal testimony. “At 16, I found religion… and became an atheist… It was my first faith experience–being an atheist.”

Later he gets into a list of specific things in the industry that encourage him. As he says in part 5, “It’s easy to complain about your industry, but some retailers are experiencing real growth.” You can read a summary of the presentation at his blog.

Here’s the first part:

Papa Poet–I know what you mean. I didn’t post this because of the retailing advice, although that interests me in a hobby kind of way.

I posted it because I really enjoy watching leaders who have passion and authenticity. Hyatt’s got both.
