Michael is an author and the CEO of Thomas Nelson Publishers.   But that’s not all.  He’s a pioneering blogger, Twitter-er, and personal technology geek (that’s a compliment, by the way).   I highly recommend that you follow Michael at http://twitter.com/Michaelhyatt.   What makes Michael’s tweets so great?   He’s encouraging, challenging, inspiring, and relevant.   His blog posts on leadership, blogging, fitness, and technology are aimed at the common man and woman.   He’s unselfish and does what all good bloggers and twitterers should: seek to make other’s lives better.  Thanks, Michael!  Keep it up!   His blog is found at http://michaelhyatt.com.
