In Innovators World Cup, history’s greatest minds take the field as the world’s most celebrated game becomes a tournament of ideas. 

Issey Miyake sprints past da Vinci. Tesla battles Edison for control of the final score. Fela Kuti intercepts Ada Lovelace’s pass and slams it home. Mansa Musa leads his team past Frida Kahlo’s squad. Galileo blocks shot after shot. On the other end, Hero of Alexandria does the same. Meanwhile, Kaldi fuels the teams with coffee. The crowd rises to its feet, roaring for the wonder of innovation. 

This fusion of sport and genius reveals that invention is the greatest game, and that when imagination meets skill, humanity scores. It’s a portrait of visionaries at play, a mashup of art, science, history and sport that transforms creativity into a universal language. It’s a story that celebrates the groundbreaking ideas that connect people across the world. 

Innovators World Cup invites reflection on what it means to create, to connect, to compete—not for domination but for possibility. It offers a fresh and joyful way to encounter history’s most brilliant figures. 

The visionaries are on the field. The past is kicking off, the future is wide open, and the whistle is about to blow!

“Women Are Made to Be Loved Not Understood.” – Oscar Wilde

This unique message makes a great Gift Book with a classic “To / From” page in the beginning. And yes, the pages contained within are blank – revealing that we actually know nothing about the women we love and it is best that we smile, love them deeper and say “Yes Dear” often and sincerely.

For generations the wisdom revealed in YES DEAR has been passed down from father to son, brother to brother, and friend to friend. The simple, yet powerful message contained within these pages is breathtaking, revealing, and often entertaining.

David Hancock originally came to the understanding of what we know about the women we love when his very own father-in-law revealed it to him by way of an original publication, of a similar book, from the early 1900’s shared with him by his own father. The message was clear and needed; however, over the next 25+ years, David has been trying to master this wisdom with many struggles, pitfalls, trials and errors only to come full circle to re-embrace this knowledge and to share it with you.

Study this book, share it with others, and above all, master its content and relax in the knowledge of what we understand about the women we love.

Running in the Dark is a quirky, sentimental, and laughable ode to the ups and downs of life. It opens with the story of author Becky Hartung—still attempting to finish her college years in one piece—teaching improv classes and watching DVD compilation disks of Saturday Night Live and The Wonder Years (all seasons). A tale surrounded by quick wit and colorful characters, Running in the Dark battles the demons that haunt us all and tries to find a few good friends in the midst of suffering.
