With courage, hope, and unshakable will, we can all build a life worth remembering.

12 Simple Words (12 Simple Words...Foundation) by John W Kennedy https://www.amazon.com/12-Simple-Words-Foundation/dp/B0DG7ZGD3S One of the things that drives John W. Kennedy the craziest and increases his personal cynicism is the fact that we do not communicate anymore. This sounds odd in a world full of communication devices, but 'talking at' is not 'talking with' others. We always look to find someone to blame instead of listening and trying to understand another's POV. Most of the time, blame is never the answer needed to act, but something to deal with after the solution is found. Debate and arguments have value when they do not become personal. He has changed his approach many times in life, when someone convinced him of a better solution. We must stop making broad assertions and assumptions based on factors out of one's own control. We need to decide that groups are made up of individuals that have differing life experiences. We can embrace and learn from many.

Western society is in cognitive dissonance, paying lip service to scientific materialism while simultaneously searching for meaning in life, believing in spiritual realities, and experimenting with different religious practices.

You need to stop waiting and start building. No Ceiling, No Excuses is part memoir, part workbook, part blueprint. It's for anyone who knows they're capable of more but needs the tools and push to get started. Chris Capuano didn't come from money, mentorship, or stability. He grew up in chaos: addiction, instability, and uncertainty, and still managed to build a life of freedom, ownership, and real success. He walked away from a stable union job with benefits, a vacation fund, a pension, and a guaranteed retirement to bet on himself and build something from the ground up. No connections. No playbook.

What he had was drive, grit, and the unshakable mindset that there is no ceiling on what you can build. Raised in a home surrounded by addiction and chaos, Chris did not just beat the odds. He flipped them in his favor. Survival mode taught him resourcefulness. Street smarts turned into systems. Pain became purpose and purpose became profit. Chris has helped thousands of businesses streamline operations, process over one billion dollars in payments, and build systems that create income around the clock. He brings real-world hustle, straight-talk strategy, and a relentless belief that if you want it bad enough you will figure it out. He lives on Long Island with his wife and their four cats, proof that even the hardest hustlers have a soft side. No Ceiling No Excuses How to Stop Stalling Your Dream and Start Building Your Life is his first book and his loudest message yet.

Hone: How Purposeful Leaders Defy Drift by Geoff Tuff, Steven Goldbach https://www.amazon.com/Hone-Purposeful-Leaders-Defy-Drift/dp/1394304536 A clarion call to business leaders to recast their conception of leadership and strategy execution to meet the demands of the modern world Have a problem with your organization's strategy in an era of accelerating, exponential change? Modern business orthodoxy has an easy answer: transform it. Hone: How Purposeful Leaders Defy Drift argues this thinking is itself in need of an overhaul. Rather than devote time to expensive, long, and often unsuccessful transformations, leaders should instead focus on holistically designing and honing the management systems that are the nervous systems of their businesses. They can take a cue from chefs and other artisans and hone their organizations. After all, honing doesn't sharpen knives; it realigns a knife's steel to its original position. Choosing and honing the set of management systems that promote an organization's desired outcomes (and uninstalling them when they are past their prime) is one of the most important things a business leader can do―and is just as much art as science. The third in a trilogy of business strategy books written by renowned strategists and two-time Thinkers50–nominated authors Steven Goldbach and Geoff Tuff, this book explains why and how to optimally hone your organization's execution of its strategy, with highlights including: The importance of recognizing and taking action to defy the drift that often afflicts organizations undergoing massive transformation Guidelines on how to design and continually reshape effective management systems to influence organizational and individual behaviors Reframing the job of CEOs to be Chief System Designers for their organizations Reflections on how honing principles within organizations can be used on broader societal challenges such as addressing climate change via the energy transition Engaging, pragmatic, and inspiring, Hone: How Purposeful Leaders Defy Drift earns a well-deserved spot on the bookshelves of all private, public, and nonprofit sector professionals seeking to bring new sources of advantage to their organizations in a time of accelerating uncertainty and exponential change.About the author Geoff Tuff is a globally recognized thought leader and widely sought-after speaker and writer on the subjects of strategy, growth, innovation, and adapting business models to deal with change.

Blood and Treasure by Ryan Pote https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0593953169 https://www.ryanpote.com/ The destruction of the International Space Station and the discovery of an ancient scroll are inextricably intertwined in this debut crossover thriller from a former Navy helicopter pilot. The International Space Station suddenly loses contact with Earth. When a NASA tech devises a way to restore the feed, the images that come through are unfathomable: a scene of terrible violence, the crew unresponsive, droplets of blood hovering in zero gravity. But which of the astronauts on board would have done such a thing? And why? Off the coast of Mozambique, former special ops pilot and current treasure hunter Ethan Cain sees something he can't believe: an object shot out of the heavens plunging deep into the Indian Ocean. When he goes to investigate, it becomes even less intelligible. A space capsule has crashed into the sea, and inside is a woman—alone, unconscious, and injured. Ethan knows he must save her. What he doesn't know is who she is, how she got there . . . or why she's the only survivor of a killing spree conducted 254 miles up in the sky.

Drawing from decades of experience in the specialized global biopharma industry, Paul provides actionable strategies to: Identify and prioritize your top performers Navigate organizational challenges with confidence Balance strategic decisions with personal values Cultivate a leadership style that fosters growth and loyalty Through relatable stories and practical advice, Paul dives deep into the nuances of leadership―how to build trust, develop a pipeline of future leaders, and maintain focus in a world of constant distractions.

Raised as the second of eight children and married for over 44 years, Paul built his life on faith, grit, and a strong sense of purpose. Early on, his wife taught school while they worked together to create a future defined not by status, but by service. As Paul puts it: “Being a CEO is a job. It's not who I am. And it can all go away in a heartbeat.” That belief still grounds him today: whether leading teams, mentoring rising executives, or spending time with his grandkids, Paul's focus remains on people, not positions. Throughout his career, Paul has been known for his collaborative leadership style, steady temperament, and values-driven approach. He champions a leadership philosophy rooted in service, integrity, collaboration, humility, and innovation—believing these core principles are what truly drive lasting success. Of course, not every value is boardroom-worthy: one of his more personal (and longstanding) convictions is to politely avoid his mom's meatloaf whenever possible. Now in what he calls his “grandkid era,” Paul starts each morning with two cappuccinos (non-negotiable), a workout, and prayer. A good day includes some cardio, maybe a little golf, and the kind of red wine that makes dinner feel like a celebration. Paul believes great leadership is about helping people thrive—identifying where they can add value at any level, in any role. Today, Paul is available to speak and advise—not just for healthcare organizations, but for a variety of businesses across industries and continents. His insights span leadership, innovation, legacy-building, and the psychology behind values and influences. Paul isn't here to sell success. He's here to talk about what matters once you've reached it. Whether he's on stage, in a boardroom, or mentoring one-on-one, Paul brings a blend of real-world experience, strategic insight, and authenticity that resonates with leaders navigating today's fast-paced world.

The Biblical Case Against Young-Earth Creationism by Ken Sauter https://www.amazon.com/Biblical-Case-Against-Young-Earth-Creationism/dp/B0CWSHBWHY When Ken Sauter heard about young Christians losing their faith in college as they were presented with evidence for evolution, evidence of an ancient earth, astronomical methods of dating the universe, and many other secular assaults on their faith, he became concerned about how young people deal with these issues. The fact that so many Christians grow up in a protected Christian environment where they are taught the earth is very young does not prepare them to deal with the assault of secular science on their faith, and as a result, many young people lose their faith. They are simply not prepared to deal with the hard evidence they are presented with along with the assault on their faith. Rest assured there are good biblical answers to these issues, and any Christian can ably defend his faith with the arguments in this book. It is not necessary to believe in a young earth or abandon your faith. The Bible, when understood as it is written, does not contradict science and actually answers questions about the universe and our existence that science is unable to deal with. If you're looking for a good argument that reconciles biblical faith with true science concerning the age of the earth, this book will give you a good start on making that argument.
