This book is designed to supercharge your leadership skills by triangulating winning leadership strategies from the U.S. Navy SEALs, professional sports, and executive business.

There is an undeniable demand for great leaders today. Individuals who excel as leaders are able to attract exceptional people to an organization and then foster a sense of connectedness within the team and to the company. The result is a more resilient organization in a fast-evolving world, a team that continuously strives for improvement, experiences lower turnover of valued personnel, and outperforms its competition.

Yet cultivating the next generation of exceptional leaders is an unmet challenge for most organizations. While they may recognize the need for developing the next leaders of their organizations, the training provided to those driven individuals is largely ineffective—or lacking altogether.

In Bullets, Basketballs & Boardrooms: Triangulating the Best Leadership Practices from Three Elite Disciplines, authors Dave Hubinger, Andrew Pence, and Jim Brogan share practical insights developed throughout their collective ninety years of experience in their individual professions—military special operations, professional sports, and executive business. These insights facilitate a leader’s better understanding of themselves and their ability to navigate the complex landscape of their role. That begins by having an intimate understanding of the values that drive an individual to excellence. With that deep knowledge of oneself, combined with an unconventional array of tools to effectively connect with their teams, leaders can create an organization that excels now and into the future.

Each chapter begins with three distinct “leadership truths” that the authors have found to be universally applicable to leaders and teams in each of their disciplines. The chapters then contain subsections of insights and tips from each author individually. Finally, chapters conclude with action items that challenge the reader to begin transformative measures to elevate and hone their leadership habits and abilities, personally and professionally. Chapter content also addresses insights for the reader to elevate the efficacy and performance of their teams and, ultimately, their organizations. The book concludes with the authors’ daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly “make it real” actions to execute for personal growth, greater leadership effectiveness, more connected relationships, and sustainable change.

In A New View of Retirement, financial advisor James F. Locke introduces a revolutionary yet simple approach to retirement planning that challenges conventional wisdom. While most financial advice focuses on growing assets as large as possible, Locke reveals why this strategy—which works well during your accumulation years—can backfire dramatically in retirement.

At the heart of Locke's philosophy is a deceptively simple equation: TR = I + G (Total Return = Income + Growth). During your working years, total return is what matters most. But as you approach retirement, the source of that return becomes critical. By prioritizing reliable income (I) over unpredictable growth (G), you can create a renewable resource that provides steady cash flow regardless of market conditions.

Through clear explanations and compelling case studies, Locke demonstrates how investors who continue to focus primarily on growth in retirement may be forced to sell assets during market downturns—a strategy he calls "cannibalizing your principal." In contrast, those who restructure their portfolios to generate sufficient interest and dividends can weather market volatility while maintaining their principal intact.

The book offers practical guidance on:

• Implementing the income-first approach using various investment tools
• Selecting the right annuities (and avoiding the wrong ones)
• Optimizing Social Security benefits based on your unique situation
• Using Roth conversions strategically to manage your tax burden
• Navigating required minimum distributions without depleting your savings
• Creating an effective estate plan that protects your legacy
• Finding a fiduciary advisor who specializes in retirement income

Whether you're ten years from retirement or already enjoying your golden years, Locke's approach provides a framework for transforming retirement anxiety into confidence. By shifting your focus from accumulating the largest possible nest egg to generating reliable income, you can ensure your money lasts longer than you do—allowing you to truly live the retirement of your dreams.

A New View of Retirement isn't just about making your money last; it's about making your retirement the best years of your life.

Recently, I began working with a client who should have been living his best life. He had entered retirement just ten years earlier with a $1.2 million portfolio, a large family home, a luxury vacation home, and plans to someday leave his children a large estate. He and his wife enjoyed travel, treating family members to memorable vacations, participating in meaningful hobbies, supporting charities important to them, and hosting the best parties in town. This was the life he had worked, saved, and invested for decades to achieve. Yet as we looked at his current situation, he was in tears. That $1.2 million portfolio was down to $470,000. There was a very real possibility that if he didn’t make some major changes, he would run out of money within a few years.

I’m sure you don’t want this to happen to you. Instead, your retirement years become your “golden” years, when you have the money that you need to last the rest of your life. Throughout this book, you will learn how to use a conservative yet dynamic strategy to align your investments to reach your goals. By using the wisdom of math and logic, you can help assure yourself a comfortable retirement that lasts as long as you do.

By the end of this book, you will have:

• An understanding of how to use the Income + Growth = Total Return equation to make your investments last a lifetime.
• Learned how to use math and logic to determine the best investments for your specific needs.
• Learned why commonly accepted investment maxims shouldn’t be so commonly accepted.
• And been provided with specific strategies to make sure you have enough income in retirement to live the life you want to live.

You are going to hear countless ways to create income while you’re building your portfolio; unfortunately, there are only two ways that you will get income from your portfolio once you retire. The first way, and the most common, is engineering income by taking withdrawals from your assets. If you think about it, you can call each withdrawal a set amount of income for you to spend as needed. You can set these withdrawals on autopilot to be paid to you monthly. The question is: Where is the income coming from? I wrote this book to provide options for you to consider as you build, and then withdraw from, your financial portfolio.

Today’s world is moving at a rapid pace. As technologies improve and markets change, companies need to be able to adapt and transform to meet the demands of their consumers. But the process of “going digital” takes more than a simple change in tech. Sometimes, a complete change of operations is needed.

In Getting Digital Done, the author team from ModOp, show how any company can enact significant change in their company to implement digital solutions. And as you’ll learn, the actual technology is the last thing to consider. Follow along as the authors tell a story of a company struggling to adapt. The CEO consults with ModOp who presents a compelling strategy for digital implementation. Along the way, you’ll discover the importance of obtaining buy-in from the people who will deliver the work and, and you’ll find a framework for implementing a digital strategy within your own business.

By the end of the book, you’ll understand the next steps you need to take to undergo a digital transformation. Change isn’t easy. But with the right plan, you’ll be well prepared to navigate the shifting demands of the modern world.

BIG EYES....it isn't just about achieving success; it's about achieving optimum success. You may be wondering, "What's the difference?" While success is personal and means different things to different people, optimum success takes your personal definition to another level. To reach your highest level, open your eyes and envision all of the possibilities. In this book, you are given a simple, easy-to-implement, "how-to" recipe to achieve excellence in every area of your life.

• Have you lost the passion, the drive and the fire you once had for your business?
• Are you tired of riding the financial roller coaster, where sometimes your appointment book is overflowing with a waiting list and sometimes it’s empty as a desert?
• Are you hitting the “glass ceiling” of success that virtually every salon or spa owner hits - where income peaks, plateaus, and eventually goes down?
• Is your salon/spa business sucking the life out of you? Physically draining and preventing you from having a normal life, such as family get-togethers, time with your friends, your children’s sports day, dance performances, and so on.
• Are you sick and tired of wasting money on advertising that doesn’t get you new clients?
• Are you looking to expand to a bigger space or add another location but you are afraid to make the move?

In the digital age, our personal data has become a valuable commodity, sought after by corporations, organizations, and governments alike. Data Independence: Reclaiming Privacy in an Era of Evolving Tech is a groundbreaking book by data scientist Wes Chaar that exposes the hidden world of the data economy and offers a revolutionary solution to reclaim our data rights.

With over twenty years of experience in the data space, Chaar reveals some of the hidden techniques used to collect, analyze, and monetize our personal information without our complete knowledge or understanding. From our daily activities, online behavior and purchases, and social media interactions to location tracking and biometric data, every aspect of our lives is being monitored and compiled into a digital dossier, which provides significant insights into an individual and monetization opportunities for corporations.

Data Independence is more than just a revelation—it’s a revolution to reclaim your rights. Chaar introduces the Personal Data Vault Key, a tool concept that puts individuals in control of their data. By leveraging the principles of data consent, control, and currency, everyone is in charge of their data. This creates transparency, accountability, protection, equality, and respect between you and the entities you allow to use your data assets on your terms. The Personal Data Vault Key empowers users to decide who accesses their data, how it's used, and even how to monetize it.

Through compelling case studies, expert insights, and practical guidance, Data Independence demystifies the complex world of data privacy and provides readers with the knowledge and tools they need to protect their data power. Chaar's engaging and accessible writing style makes even the most technical concepts easy to understand, while his passionate advocacy for privacy rights is both inspiring and empowering.

Whether you're concerned about your offline and online privacy, curious about the inner workings of the data economy, or seeking to leverage your personal data for your own benefit, Data Independence is an essential read. It's a call to action for a data revolution—one that puts the power back in the hands of the people.

Start, Stop, or Grow? describes how to collect and interpret data on program markets and economics. It highlights common errors and how to fix them. It recognizes that program evaluation still requires judgment and recommends a process that is inclusive, data-informed, and fast enough to keep up with changes in knowledge, technology, society, and the economy.

This book gives academic leaders, trustees, and legislators a roadmap for wiser, more successful choices to ensure universities deliver the education required to advance knowledge and better our society.

Ladies, we need to talk.
Have you ever found yourself overwhelmed when it comes to your finances? Between stocks and bonds, IRAs, and 401(k)s, things can get pretty confusing, especially in an industry where information and advice are often tailored to middle-aged men rather than young women looking to start off on the right financial foot. But that’s all about to change.
As a financial advisor and entrepreneur helping clients build the financial futures they want every day, with Girl Talk author Ariana Mangum has created a financial guide designed to address your needs. With insights on how to budget and save for big events and little indulgences alike (hello iced lattes and avocado toast!), prepare for retirement, invest like a pro, manage your taxes, set up a business, and so much more, her book should be required reading for every girl who’s ready to take on the world—or just be a little smarter with her money.
Within its pages, Girl Talk gives you the tools to find confidence and empowerment in your finances. There’s something in this book for every woman, and you don’t want to miss it.

When Malin Burnham gifted funds toward the construction of the new San Diego Yacht Club Junior Sailing Center, he stipulated that a list of “Virtues of Excellence” be permanently attached to the building and that these virtues be taught on an ongoing basis to the junior sailing participants. These virtues include dedication, teamwork, and commitment, and they are the result of lessons learned in Malin’s life and career.
Community Before Self details these virtues and explains how anyone can live a life of integrity and purposeful giving. Regardless of income, political views, or age, everyone can contribute toward enhancing their community by volunteering their time and effort.

EVERY PROJECT IS A JOURNEY.
Many of us still approach project management as a set of best practices and processes that follow a structured and linear path to delivering a project’s intended outcome. But what often happens during the course of a project is that communication generates confusion, schedules get off track, sponsors disengage, and teams can end up far away from their intended destinations.
You’ll be well prepared to address whatever might go off course in any project if you anticipate and plan ahead by following the guiding principles outlined in this book. With Project Orienteering, author Denise Brinkmeyer takes readers through every phase of a project’s journey, with attention to a project’s most variable elements—its people. She argues that the most important skill we bring to a project is an ability to adjust, flex, and pivot in ways that remain sensitive to the delicate balance among time requirements, funding allotments, and a project’s overall value.

Brinkmeyer speaks primarily to project managers but has something to say to everyone involved: from stakeholders, sponsors, and project teams to customers and end users. She shows that successfully achieving a vision within a project’s designated budget is possible, as is creating a collaborative team environment in which everyone remains focused on the value being delivered, expectations are aligned along the way, and team members practice an adaptive, predictive approach to navigating the project’s changing terrain.

We all have patterns of thinking. Unfortunately for many of us, our patterns were established years ago, and they are becoming less and less suited to this volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous world we’re now facing. In Outsmarting V.U.C.A., Don Gilman shows you how to establish new patterns of thinking that have been created specifically to address this rapidly evolving VUCA world.
You’ll learn to: •recognize your own blind spots in your thinking patterns •make better decisions by using a structured approach focused on purposefully changing your thinking patterns •engage your entire team and leverage diversity where there is no homogenity •identify the most common reasoning errors in yourself and others, allowing you to have unparalleled insight into any situation

A Bronx Educator Battles Injustice to Uplift Her Community

Born in the embattled South Bronx, Dr. Elaine Ruiz Lopez overcame teen pregnancy and adversity to earn advanced degrees, driven to serve children from backgrounds like hers. This inspirational memoir chronicles her vision to provide rigorous, empowering education in her hometown despite a system stacked against minorities.

The Fight for Equity in the Bronx tells the inspiring tale of a Bronx educator who battles injustice to uplift her community, and

• Traces Dr. Ruiz Lopez's journey from high school "push-out" to Ivy League graduate
• Recounts constant interference faced while establishing a pioneering charter high school
• Shares stories of students now thriving in colleges nationwide
• Spotlights importance of parent activism in education reform
• Encourages readers to persevere against obstacles through self-belief

Forging her own path, Dr. Ruiz Lopez opens New York's first Bronx charter high school in 2006, offering immigrant and diverse students a nurturing environment for achieving their potential. With deep community ties yet fighting administrators alone, she overcomes numerous attempts to dismantle the school. During a chaotic first year, Dr. Lopez risks her reputation to protect both students and her vision. Despite ongoing barriers, her academy stands tall today with a 96% graduation rate.

More than one woman’s uplifting odyssey, this is a chronicle of hope—proving equity in education possible through collective struggle.

Give to Get to Give is a down-to-earth version of strategic investment counsel that stands in stark contrast to the advice many financial advisors offer. As Dr. Randolph Dorcey notes, there is a critical difference between advice and counsel. Advice is free and can be offered by anyone — including those with ill intentions. But counsel comes from a place of wisdom and expertise. It’s based on a proven track record of success and proper decision-making.

Using his patented humor and charm, Dorcey walks potential investors through steps they should take to increase their wealth for retirement. With a doctorate in communication, Dorcey helps clients understand the value and the benefits of a fully funded Living Trust. Through simple, straightforward language, he clearly defines why it is important for investors to leave an efficient legacy while maintaining privacy and control. His main goal is to make sure his readers are fully educated and informed on the need for estate planning. It’s a process he has used with over 1,000 families as he has helped to prepare them for their financial future.

Give to Get to Give starts with a humorous story about some poor advice Randy received from his older brothers when he was just a kid. But then it quickly picks up steam and addresses the investment questions many are asking in the aftermath of the Covid Pandemic. Offering readers counsel that comes from over thirty years in the financial industry, Randy provides readers a clear roadmap for how they can properly invest for the future. He challenges them to remember that advice is cheap, and counsel is what matters. He reminds investors to earmark a percentage of their income that will go towards investment, and then stick with this process.

Perhaps most important, Randy tells readers to find a financial counselor that will actively manage their investment. This, he believes, is a much better alternative than riding the waves of one financial crisis to the next. Instead, he calls readers to be proactive and work with individuals who have their best interest at heart. Readers are instructed to grow their crops and not fear the complicated nature of investing. They should do all they can to “Slam Sam” by reducing the amount of money they pay to the government in taxes.

And when global catastrophes, such as pandemics, emerge, readers should stick with their game plan and work with a trusted financial advisor to actively navigate their path forward. Instead of just trusting “emperors with no clothes,” Dorcey admonishes investors to never just take someone else’s word and buy into the myth that it is acceptable to lose a large percentage of their investment when tough times hit. Instead, readers should work with people they trust and those that have a proven track record.

PRESENCE DEVELOPS AND ENABLES PROFITABILITY.
AUTHENTIC RELATIONSHIPS ARE THE KEYS TO SUCCESS DURING THIS COMMUNICATIONS REVOLUTION.
Are your customers your most valuable brand advocates? Do you “speak” with them more than ever? Are you growing revenues as well as “likes” and expanding your return-on-marketing investments?

If not, you are losing presence and profitability!
Despite constant developments in communications technology that radically expand our ability to communicate efficiently, too many companies are losing touch with their customers while missing their growth and profitability targets—either by not taking advantage of readily available technology or by implementing technology generically without considering how the use affects their relationships with customers.
Author Phil Kelley Jr., the CEO of a fast-growing corporate communication solutions company, provides definitive steps forward for success-minded individuals and corporate boardrooms that will establish an effective presence for profitability and growth.

This pro-technology, leading-edge view of the tremendous opportunities available will positively challenge the corporate leader struggling for success during this time of massive change.

Presence and Profitability will answer the question of why your customer response results are lagging behind expectations and falling behind organizations you once dominated. It shows why and how some companies are succeeding— rapidly and at unprecedented levels of growth. It teaches you how to take full advantage of the tremendous opportunities available for connecting and engaging with an exponentially larger group of consumers. It defines powerful implementation strategies using technologies, old and new, to establish presence with customers, bringing them closer to your brand instead of pushing them away.

Even the most experienced leaders can find themselves suddenly lost when facing a new role or work environment. Despite past success, long-held instincts lead to frustration and a sense of ineffectiveness. This phenomenon is called leadership shock.

In Leadership Shock, executive coach Peter Steinberg draws on decades of experience guiding leaders through major transitions to provide a clear framework for recognizing, overcoming, and preventing leadership shock. Using insightful case studies from his own practice, Steinberg introduces the authentic leadership model—a process for leaders to examine their purpose, role expectations, vision, priorities, and approach to reset their leadership style to thrive in new environments.

Leadership Shock teaches readers to view leadership as an adaptive, continuous process rather than a fixed set of behaviors. By regularly re-evaluating their leadership models, professionals at any level can evolve their principles and actions to lead with authenticity as they navigate new challenges.

With practical exercises and tools, Dr. Steinberg outlines a methodology to help leaders recover from the disorientation of leadership shock and unlock their full potential. The book provides the self-awareness and resilience today's professionals need to embrace change fearlessly and lead with purpose. Leadership Shock offers hope and a clear path forward for leaders facing the inevitable shocks of a complex world.

“AN AMERICAN IS NOT ONLY THE INDIVIDUAL WHO MAY FIND ON THESE SHORES A COMPANION IN PROVIDENTIAL IDEALS HOWEVER, IT IS TRULY AND ONLY THESE PROVIDENTIAL IDEALS THAT DEFINE AN AMERICAN! IT IS A PULSE THAT RESONATES WITH THE RHYTHM OF TRUTH IN PEOPLE OF ALL NATIONS WHOSE HEARTS BEAT WITH THE CADENCE OF BUT ONE WORD! FREEDOM! IT IS THEN NOT ONLY FOR THIS UNION TO CHAMPION SO NOBLE A CAUSE BUT FOR ALL TO ASSERT AND ASCEND TO THE IDEAL OF FREEDOM, LIBERTY AND JUSTICE! BY DOING SO, WE BANISH TYRANNY, IN ALL ITS FORMS, TO THE REGIME OF FAILURE!” CURTIS GRECO draws on the wisdom of his favorite historical figures, including, of course, Thomas Jefferson. But, at this critical point in our national history, his emphasis is less on perfecting those ideals than on protecting them; or, even more bluntly, keeping them from being actively undermined. Greco’s concern that our present political and economic course is leading our nation and its people away from its founding principles will resonate with anyone who loves this country and wants to restore its promise.

Flourishing Through Financial Planning
Money is about much more than dollars and cents. It’s about our family, it’s about our first experiences with money, it’s about our life values, and it’s about the conversations we do or do not have with the people who influence our saving, investing, sharing, and spending. Unfortunately, most wealth management firms rarely take the time to get to know their clients in a way that truly allows them to develop the perfect, individualized solution for each client. In addition, many financial planners overlook the psychological elements that drive financial decisions. In FLOURISH FINANCIALLY, author Kathy Longo takes a personalized approach to finance, helping you analyze the nine core areas where you typically spend your time—finances, family, health, leisure, learning, inner growth, home, community, and work—so you can understand your own money story to develop a strong financial plan and future. You’ll learn about different financial planning tools and practices—most importantly, how to communicate about money matters with those you care about—to help you get to the heart of your values and priorities, establish meaningful financial and life goals, and create an effective and inspiring decision-making framework.

A roadmap to unlocking your inner strength, overcoming adversity, and living a life of authenticity and purpose

In her powerful debut book, The Butterfly Code, D'Yanna Craighead takes readers on a transformative journey of personal growth, resilience, and self-discovery. Drawing on her own remarkable life experiences, D’Yanna reveals a profound framework for navigating life's challenges and emerging as the best version of oneself.

D’Yanna’s story begins in the inner city of Pittsburgh, where she grew up in a close-knit family, dreaming of a life beyond her neighborhood. Through hard work and determination, she embarked on a groundbreaking career as a Black woman in technology, defying stereotypes and breaking barriers in a predominantly white male industry. D’Yanna candidly shares about:

• Her struggles with divorce and the challenges of being a single mother
• Navigating the lack of diversity in her technology career
• Experiencing grief after the loss of her father

Through these trials, she discovered the transformative power of embracing change, trusting the process, and looking within for strength and healing. At the heart of The Butterfly Code is Craighead's unique framework for personal evolution, inspired by the metamorphosis of a butterfly:

• The stages of preparation
• Evolution
• Transformation
• Emergence
• Soaring to new heights

D’Yanna’s writing is intimate, honest, and deeply empowering. She shares her story with vulnerability and courage, inviting readers to reflect on their own lives and the possibilities for growth and change. The Butterfly Code is a celebration of the unbreakable human spirit and a powerful reminder that, like the butterfly, we all have the capacity to transform, evolve, and emerge as our best selves.

Words of Hope is a daily devotional created to help you find rhythm and space. You’ll take comfort in examining topics very familiar to you. You’ll come across items you haven’t thought about in a long time, or ever. You’ll always have the chance to reflect on scripture and the meaning within each Word of Hope.
Seizing the opportunity to spend time in thoughtful reflection and prayer will improve the way you approach both your daily routine and long-term outlook.
From the author: I believe imagination is a great gift from our Creator. Using it, several years ago, I began to explore a question that captivated me: How can I inspire my granddaughter even if she lives two thousand miles away? I started emailing her a few hope-inspiring thoughts. With encouragement from my wife Susie, soon I had sent some 50 messages and contemplated starting a daily blog for my Words of Hope. Why? Because they seemed to have a real impact on the lives they touched as I continued to expand my audience. I’ve written over 600 Words of Hope and am excited to place many of these into book form that I hope will inspire you.
In life, there is a drive, there is rhythm, and there is space. I believe most Americans are working too long and hard under too much pressure. Taking pride in our work is needful, but we don’t have the right rhythm because we don’t create space for rest. People often say, “I’m too busy and don’t have enough time.” I’m there with you. My wife Susie says, “Fred, slow down the bus,” meaning I need to have peaceful, reflective time. Words of Hope slows down your bus and allows you to focus on what is vital. How do I want to live? How do I want to spend my time?

By developing a daily habit of reading Words of Hope, you can quiet life’s pace and generate reflective space that will increase your energy and joy!

Yet these IT functions remain poorly understood and difficult to build strategy upon. However, every CEO needs to ensure that their organization has a powerful data communications strategy to succeed, as innovative landscapes continue to shift, challenging their operations at every turn. And one way to stay above the chaos and still operate efficiently is by having the right computer network to back it all up, safely and securely.

But most CEOs do not have time to become computer network experts, although it is crucial that they understand the constantly evolving technical dangers that can disrupt and destroy their business model. Even for leaders without a strong technical background, Nathan offers the tools for CEOs to be able to analyze what they need to implement in their organization’s overall digital strategy.

In The CEO’s Digital Survival Guide: A Practical Handbook to Navigating the Future, Nathan Whittacre gives access to the fundamentals of basic operations, features, and the limitations of different computer networks available today. Nathan has years of experience creating systems and processes to help CEOs run their businesses. He gives an easy-to-follow overview of what every CEO needs to know in order to be able to systematically understand, analyze and implement the right system for their organization to protect their infrastructure against external and internal threats. He explains best practices and discusses the most current technologies that are available.

MOST PEOPLE HAVE SOMETHING THEY WOULD LIKE TO DO BETTER.
If your job is to help them do that, where do you begin? You might think that because he served as a player development coach in the NBA, Phil Weber would suggest that you start by immediately focusing on the specific skills. What will surprise you about this book is that it starts with and builds on the mental and relational aspects of development that must be established first. Weber lays out a blueprint that addresses the importance of mindset as a foundation for the developmental process. And since all players (and all people) are different, there is no one-size-fits-all approach. This book describes how to identify the unique motivators and triggers that people bring to the table and how to meet them where they are psychologically and emotionally in order to create the right developmental process for them.

From the early stages of a fundraising campaign to the days after it’s done, The Spirit of Philanthropy will be your blueprint for raising money for your nonprofit and more.

One Big Idea

Organizations have to be good at lots of things, but the way to win is to become differentiatingly great at One Thing. The one thing every executive team must decide is, "What is your One Thing?"Four Typical ResponsesBased on our experience, we know that the Decide One Thing concept will get four different responses.

Some organizations will categorically reject the idea that they need to become great at One Thing.

Some will think it is cool, but get distracted by the next cool idea or fad that comes along. Some will embrace the concept for a time, but give up because implementing it is too hard.

A few executive teams will fully commit to the Decide One Thing. Align Everything. Win! model. These organizations will generate incredible results – 30, 60 or 100 times their investment.

So, which of the four responses will you have?

The three most incredible blessings in life are not recognized while you have them but only after you’ve lost them: your health, youth, and freedom. All three are connected. There is great freedom in taking charge of your health. The benefits impact the quality of your entire life.

There has never been a moment like this in history. Our generation is the first to have a choice in how we age. Because of the development and perfection of bio-identical hormone replacement therapy, we can now choose to change our hormone chemistry back to the way it was when we were 25 years old.

In my practice, we have placed bio-identical hormone pellets subcutaneously for over 20,000 men and women over the last decade. No severe complications. Over 98 percent patient satisfaction. Scientists and researchers in study after study have cleared the way for this dream.

We use holistically developed, plant-based hormone pellets that dissolve over time, adding just the right amount of hormone restoration. The days of synthetic hormones are over.

We’re stopping the discomfort of aging. What’s the downside of preventing dementia, stopping osteoporosis, or lessening your chance of disease? “Watchful waiting” does not make any sense to me. What are you watching for? Why wait? Do you want these diseases to attack you before you put up your defenses? You could enjoy intimacy with your partner again. You might enjoy traveling healthily with a healthy partner. You might see the doctor less. Your life will have new energy.

The sooner you restore your hormones, the less likely you will lead a frail elderly conclusion to your life. We replace hormones in patients from 18 to 86 years of age, with most patients complaining of running out of gas, tired of being tired, grumpy, unmotivated, or suffering from brain fog, menopause (men and women), and other physical symptoms.

Our hormones are vital. And why would we live over half of our life without them? What could we alleviate? Visceral fat, diabetes, osteoporosis, dementia, all these things if we had a youthful chemistry. I love this restoration of youth. It’s the coolest thing I have ever seen. “We’re restoring the homeostasis balance of our body.” We’re restoring the homeostasis balance of our body. That’s all we’re doing. The body itself is brilliant enough to do its work. We’re bio-identically restoring the fuel source.

Use your medical freedom. Watch the results.

Once your hormone levels are like a 25-year-old again, and you have the accumulated knowledge and wisdom of your years, that’s the holy grail. The holy grail is having your health and life span occupy the same real estate. For me, that’s all we can ever ask for in this life.

That’s all we’re trying to do. That’s our holy grail. That’s our journey. Restoration.

This is your personal invitation to age gracefully.

STRIVE TOGETHER TO BUILD A CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM
Do you want to build winning teams or championship teams?
Winning teams are results-obsessed. Any result will do no matter how low the bar—whatever it takes to compare favorably with The Competition. These teams are built from the outside-in. Decisions are made after asking questions like: “How will this look?” “How will this feel?” and, most importantly, “How will we compare?”
Championship teams are driven by a purpose that transcends winning. Champions don’t compare - they compete based on the origin of compete, ‘to strive together.’ Championship teams are built from the inside-out. Decisions are made after asking: “Will this align with who we are?” and, most importantly, “Will this make us better?”
Today we live in a world of ambiguity. Young people are entering a workplace that is increasingly disruptive and unpredictable. Seeking to work collaboratively is no longer sufficient to meet this challenge. Simply “working together” was perfect for Henry Ford’s assembly line. But in today’s rapid change economy “striving together” is required because productivity and the ability to constantly innovate have become the keys to success.
Winning teams are focused on competing externally. They are built to project a certain image. Championship teams are built to innovate. They compete internally and create their own best practices - which prepares them for anything The Competition throws at them!
In Strive Together, Jeff Moore provides business leaders with a framework for building teams that achieve beyond expectations in a rapid change environment and helps leaders in education understand how to prepare young people to thrive in ambiguity!

BUT HER SPIRIT HAS BEEN
CLAIMED BY A DARK PRESENCE.
Sarah Vise's life is a literal dead-end street. Abandoned by her mother as a child, she lives on a coastal road to nowhere, working endless hours on her domineering father's fishing boat in the shadow of a run-down lighthouse. As her high school graduation approaches, the end of the relentless monotony seems to be on the horizon. She is accepted into college and has an intriguing encounter with Grant Eriksen, the tall, blue-eyed neighbor who appears intent on making amends for past mistakes.

But when Sarah's father forbids her from going away to college, she is forced to face a future without hope. Sarah decides to surrender her life to the sea.

Grant saves her from drowning, but that night her weakened spirit is carried to a dreamy afterlife world, where a handsome hunter-sage takes her under his wing. Sarah is happy to remain with him until she learns he is even more possessive and dangerous than the men in her "real" life.

To escape his clutches, she makes a terrible bargain. He will return her to the life she now so desperately desires. She will be free to follow her heart, but only for a while. The clock is ticking.

Once she fulfills her end of the bargain, he will steal her spirit again. Forever.

Financial Security Is Closer Than You Think

These days, between taxes and consumption, many people have nothing left to invest. Tom Curran will show you that it doesn't have to be that way, and he will advise you on how to change that. That means not just financial strategies but emotional intelligence because if spending and saving money were simply logical matters, most people would have plenty. Regardless of how smart or logical you are, when it comes to making decisions, emotion is the great neutralizer.

With Investing Ahead, Curran has spelled out the eight investment essentials that have made him—and his clients—wealthy. Tom's named these essentials "Curranisms," and you can start using these Curranisms now and watch your investment future change. He'll show you how to change the way you look at money—even a dollar bill—by looking at its future worth, not in terms of the value it currently holds.

Curran draws upon his vast personal resource of knowledge and experience that he has accumulated over more than fifty years advising clients and managing money. He will show you where Wall Street has gone wrong and how you can do right. Most of all, he will show you how, by using his eight essentials, you can start investing ahead for a secure financial future.

A Treasured Gift from a Father to his Son

As a senior in high school, I received a special gift from my father.

As I was about to leave home for college, my father handed me an eleven-page handwritten letter that contained his best advice for his son. The letter contained quotes from Shakespeare, snippets from classic literature, and candid confessions about things that my dad wished he had done differently.

The letter was written by pen but might as well have been written in granite. I still have this letter in a drawer in my bedroom closet and I read parts of it about once a month. To this day, I treasure my father’s words of wisdom.

As we get older, we realize that there are many lessons that life gives us. These lessons in life are invaluable. But these lessons in life are not serving anyone unless we share them with our family, friends, and even strangers.

About three years ago, I began writing the most important lessons that I’ve learned in my life. The life lessons range from almost every aspect of life, including health and nutrition, financial management, faith, professional goal setting, and virtues such as perseverance, sacrifice, and gratitude.

Ninety-seven percent of these life lessons are based upon abject failures, repeated mistakes, and, in some cases, heartbreak, but our mistakes and failures make us who we are. And I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Win Today was inspired by my father, James H. Fisher, Esq., who knew better than anyone that the greatest lessons aren’t taught in a classroom.

It’s time to “Lead Forward.”
In the past, business leadership was strictly an autocratic proposition. But times have changed, and companies are just discovering they must change with them. In Chase Greatness: Enlightened Leadership for the Next Generation of Disruption, CEO Rajeev Kapur reveals how most business leadership is out of step with evolving times and values—which has negatively impacted both the effectiveness of our workforces as well as the bottom line.
The good news is it’s never too late to “Chase Greatness” in your leadership role. Kapur provides a powerful toolbox of practical advice that will enable you to not only be profitable but also reflect values that will enhance lives and make the world a better place.

The first roadmap for a Founder-CEO succession like no other.

If you’ve been tapped on the shoulder to follow a founder or you’re interested in being in the running, be forewarned that this isn’t your average transition. The founder has skills, talents, and personality that have built the company and the culture. It’s the Second CEO’s job to respect the founder and their vision while creating a culture and vision of their own and adding massive value. But how?

Matt Sharrers knows, firsthand, what you have to get right and what common roadblocks you should be on the lookout for. He details it all in The Second CEO: Accelerating Scale When Following the Founder. Sharrers understands what it takes to create culture and value when you’re following a founder. And not just because he did it himself, leading through double-digit revenue growth, but also because he has coached and mentored dozens of Second CEOs through their transitions as well as their first years.

This book takes you step-by-step, through your own journey, whether you’re already in the running or you want to be. And whether the founder is leaving entirely, staying on in a different position, or moving solely to the board, Sharrers has you covered with real-life stories and tips from founders, serial Second CEOs, and private equity investors. And he offers his own advice, called Key Accelerants, that will best position you to drive the kind of growth you need to get to your next benchmark.

In The Second CEO, Matt Sharrers brings his decades of helping leaders improve the enterprise value of their companies to you in an interactive format. Each chapter details his proven process for cultivating culture and driving value and helps you craft your own plan. You’ll learn about the crucial mindset you need, discover the qualities far more important than degrees or even experience. You’ll learn what you need to do during the first twelve months and beyond—to think and act like the leader who’s going to take the company to the next level.

If you’re in the Red Zone—those years between age 50 and retirement—these questions are almost certainly on your mind. But getting a straight answer to them is harder than it should be because the financial services industry is failing the people it’s intended to serve: People like you!

You’ve worked hard and taken risks to create the nest egg you’re counting on to support you in retirement.

In this breakthrough book, marketing expert Austin McGhie urges readers to set aside their obsession with “branding” and instead focus on the real work of marketing: positioning. In fact, McGhie believes there’s no marketing problem or opportunity that can’t be framed as a positioning exercise. He argues that brands are a marketplace response, not a marketer’s stimulus; if that response from the audience is simple, clear and on strategy, marketers can build a brand.

Drawing on his 30-year career working with some of world’s best-known brands, including Disney, ESPN, Nike, Google, Visa, Expedia, Best Buy, Microsoft, Anheuser-Busch, Abbott and YouTube, McGhie tackles the strategic essence of positioning and creating differentiated advantage. He deftly weaves the positioning discussion throughout the book with a series of real-life anecdotes to deliver a crisp, clear view of what it means to build a brand. McGhie has written a practical book that will guide and inspire marketers and in turn help them guide and inspire their audiences.

From the outside looking in, Sallie Holder seemed to have it all. A “Top Professional of the Year” before the age of thirty, she was living a six-figure, wildly “successful” lifestyle by society’s standards. But we all know looks can be deceiving. While smiling and confident on the exterior, Sallie had a secret: she was actually miserable living the life she’d chosen. Only she knew that success felt like a role she was playing, and that on the inside she felt like an imposter who simply wanted to be doing anything other than what she was doing.
How in the world would she make a change at this stage of life? And what in the world would she do? If she made a change, what would everyone think? How could she reject society’s conventional definition of “success?”
Sallie’s journey to answering these questions for herself and others became her mission.

A critical follow-up to Listen In: Crucial Conversations on Race in the Workplace

In Someday Is Today, the second in Manswell’s collection, you’ll broaden your knowledge on racial inequalities in the workplace and gain the tools to become a better leader.

This sequel goes beyond surface level conversations about inequalities and promotes the idea that racism needs to be understood before it can be addressed. Manswell gets to the core of the issue and launches off from there, taking the reader on a journey of often unexplored issues, tapping into a closer look at the emotional impact of discrimination.

You’ll learn how to untangle your own misconceptions that lead to generational differences as you have a front row seat to Roshunda and Maya’s discussion about the topic. LaToya and Shane hit a crossroad in their relationship and discover that their next steps need to include considerations about diversity. Jim comes face to face with his white peers in the workplace who verbalize what many have suspected for years. This leads him to the conclusion that organizations need a new approach to holding leaders accountable for the success or failure of racial equity in their organizations.

Understanding of others’ perspective, acceptance of change, and new approaches for the future are the core necessities in working through the inequalities that are present in everyday life. From the living room to the conference room, our differences are a part of how we show up at work and always will be, which is why Manswell’s book is so critical in today’s world.

Does anyone else smell shift? Do you sense that the insurance industry is headed for an upheaval? Do you suspect that there is some brilliant, forward-thinking entrepreneur in a garage somewhere about to reinvent the game? Do you find it hard to make your case for leading change, while everyone else is still talking the same way, doing the same things, and getting the same results?

AN INSIDER’S GUIDE TO THE FUTURE OF SNOW AND ICE MANAGEMENT
One of the most groundbreaking books about the snow and ice management industry, First in Snow: Inside the World of Snowfighting sets out to explore, and explain, the complicated and oft-misunderstood trade known as “snowfighting.”
Brad Caton draws on nearly two decades of experience running his Vancouver-based snow and ice management firm, Invictus Professional Snowfighters, as well as in-depth discussions with industry experts ranging from attorneys, insurers, advocates, property managers, salt distributors, and fellow snowfighters, to present a rare, broad-scoped analysis of the challenges, solutions, and dire importance associated with the snow and ice industry.
Caton offers a compelling case for why snowfighting should be viewed as an emergency service, rather than as a service akin to wintertime lawn maintenance. He, along with his interviewees, breaks down exactly what it is that snowfighters do and outlines the burdens placed on the industry by a growing penchant for lawsuits, rising insurance costs, and the all-too-common disconnect between contractor and client due to the nocturnal nature of the business. Property owners, legal and insurance professionals, technology developers, snow and ice professionals, and the general public can all learn from this book’s vast insights on all things snowfighting.

“What I have written, I have written!”
WHEN HE REACHES MATURITY, even a pagan ruler like Pontius Pilate finds that life has become inescapable. He has done enough and said enough and has molded himself into a pattern that is the mold for the rest of his life. He may be able to shape it, but only in a limited way.
Tiberius was the emperor, and Pontius Pilate carried out the instructions of Tiberius. Tiberius certainly had the power of life and death over Pontius Pilate. But there is still a very real sense in which Pilate wasn’t willing to give up his dictatorial powers over everyone in his realm.
Since he proclaimed Jesus to be the “King of the Jews,” so let it be said, so let it be done. Pilate’s words could not be changed. To some degree this is true of all of us. We can only marginally change the absolutes of life. God, and God alone, has the last say in all the major and minor details of His providence.
Man invariably thinks that he is a free moral agent able to do absolutely as he chooses. But ultimately, he is only as free as God allows.

RESTORATION ENCOMPASSES BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT
During the early years of her career, Marisa Faircloth had the good fortune to work with some of the best plastic surgeons in the field. She thought then what she knows now: that less invasive procedures are perfect for people who don't want or need drastic changes to their overall appearance. As she tells her clients, radical changes in your appearance are not going to make you beautiful; the lightest of touches can bring out your natural beauty.

Marisa's unique approach to human connection and empathy allows her to provide more than the aesthetic services she offers. Though clients may come in thinking they need beauty services, they often leave feeling full restoration of body, mind, and spirit. Marisa's mission is to uncover the hidden beauty in each person who walks through her door. Whatever she can do to enhance and empower them, she takes the time and effort to do.

Her book gives readers permission to do something nice for themselves, because if it makes them feel better, it makes everyone they touch feel better too. This is why the benefits of self-care are limitless.

Using her decades of experience in aesthetics, she shares with readers how beauty extends beyond the face and body: true beauty comes from the compassion and connection we extend to others.

The American healthcare system is failing us. It is a frustratingly complex, opaque, and unaffordable system that results in suboptimal care and a deterioration of the welfare of the majority of American families. The experience of the past few decades and the recent ravaging pandemic has shown us that doing more of the same is not going to deliver us from this dilemma. But there is hope. There is a way to create a more accessible, consumer-friendly, safer, and affordable system of care for all of us.

In Beyond the Walls, Dr. Neuwirth, a physician, healthcare executive, and innovator distills, in understandable language, the learnings from years of in-depth research into the megatrends and market disruptors that are shaping the present and immediate future of American healthcare. Through the stories of those behind the movement, he uncovers the forces that are driving better health outcomes, more personalized care, greater equity, and lower costs.

Unlike many other books in this genre, the focus is on what’s right in American healthcare rather than on what’s wrong. It is practical, actionable and rooted in a realistic understanding of the industry's challenges and opportunities. It’s an inspiring and instructive read on the courageous leaders that are dismantling the barriers to innovation in healthcare delivery.

This book reads like a collection of heroic journeys. These stories encourage and embolden us not to be held hostage by the mindset, behaviors, and inertia of the past. They are intended to ignite the creativity, integrity, and courage of more leaders to go beyond the walls and leverage their own potential to contribute to a more humane future for American healthcare. This is a “must-read” for anyone who wants better healthcare and better health.
