Wide Illumination Chapter 8 read by the author Tom Rubens This work is a Contemporary Literature about a young student finding his first love affair Set in the mid-1960s, this second novel in the 'Illumination' trilogy shows its central character, Richard Lane, studying at university, and fostering intellectual friendships with some of his fellow male students. Also, during his first long summer vacation, he visits Germany and meets a young German woman, Helga, with whom he comes to share a deep and intimate understanding, as well as sexual pleasure. This sharing is presented as especially interesting because, happening only two decades after the end of World War Two, it shows the ability of young people, with their eager openness to experience, to bridge different national and cultural backgrounds. Finally, the text moves beyond Richard's university days to the world of work, and his first encounters in yet another Continental country, Portugal, where a good deal of the final book in the trilogy will be set in. About the Author Tom Rubens While a great deal of my energy has gone into teaching English Language and Literature in further and higher education, I have remained continually interested in those areas of private life which, for myself and of course for every other working person, lie outside the pursuit of a professional career when that itself is not one of authorship. The private terrain is, I have found, the most complex, so the most difficult to illuminate: and is therefore the prime subject for personal writing, in whatever form that writing takes. For me, the forms have been literature (fiction, poetry) and philosophy. The trilogy of novel I have produced, of which Wide Illumination is the second text, indicate what I see as the close linkage between literature and philosophy—with each focus, as it seeks to plumb the depths, being supported by the other. This linkage becomes increasingly evident as Wide Illumination proceeds on its way. https://www.amazon.com/Wide-Illumination-university-Students-encounters/dp/1912951339 Available in Kindle and Softback

Tom's first book, Lifeness: Harmonize an Entrepreneurial Life was released in April 2017 “Seek honest feedback, really ask for and then embrace the feedback you get. Whether that's determining whether a new product should go to market, whether it's deciding whether to hire, fire, promote someone within your organisation. Get feedback and listen to it. And I guess the trump card to that is ask people around you what you are missing, what your blind spots are, because you have got them and as long as you ignore them, they will be there to torture you. So, ask for feedback about yourself. What I missing is one of my favourite questions because you can see it I can't”…[Listen for More] Click Here for Show Notes To Listen or to Get the Show Notes go to https://wp.me/p6Tf4b-79L

We haven’t had a Dayton author on in quite awhile, so our host Libby Ballengee made sure to get scheduled for an interview. What she didn’t anticipate was the table getting turned on her! In this unique conversation, local author and business coach Tom Rubens ends up interviewing Libby! This episode is an equal exchange […]

Tom Rubens was fearless, constantly getting into fights with classmates and always fighting authority. That’s why a job on the Options Exchange in Chicago appealed to him: tons of action, screaming, and jumping. But what he needed was to be his own boss. After over 40 years of owning and operating his own businesses, Tom is keenly aware of challenges small business owners face. His coaching practice, The Accountability Factor, helps them increase revenue, manage relationships and live harmonious lives.

Nearly every challenge encountered in business is a symptom of the real problems: Human nature. Poor communication. Great ideas followed by face-palming execution. You can’t really feel peace, harmony and balance when things are challenging and chaotic. Joining Adam is Tom Rubens, expert in business and corporate culture. In this episode they discuss: Why work-life […]

Over the last 40 years, Tom has founded, bought, sold, and managed businesses in industries as diverse as a commodity trading company, a real estate brokerage, investment groups, and minor league baseball and basketball franchises. Tom’s four decades in business have taught him a painful yet profitable lesson — to address the biggest problems that drag down an organization (and the owner’s health and sanity with it), you need to look beyond the Balance Sheet. From intra-management bickering, to employee apathy, to products that should sell themselves but don’t, nearly every challenge he encounter in business is a symptom of the real problems: human nature, poor communication & great ideas with terrible execution In my chat with Tom, we start off by digging deep into his first foray into being his own boss, a trader at the Chicago Board of Trade. After a terrible day on the trading floor, Tom called it a day and decided to buy a minor league basketball franchise...without ever having employees, let alone experience in the sports ownership world. The key to Tom's success was that he was willing to put himself out there and learn from others. He took the time to speak with all of the owners, figure out what wasn't working and did the exact opposite. After a wild ride in owning minor league sports teams, Tom now leverages his experience to help other business owners crush it.

Tom Rubens has founded, bought, sold, and managed businesses in industries as diverse as a commodity trading company, a real estate brokerage, investment groups, and minor league baseball and basketball franchises. His four decades in business have taught him the painful yet profitable lesson that you have to look beyond the balance sheet and address the big problems that drag down organizations including the health of those running it. His book, Lifeness, is an Amazon #1 Bestseller and the foundation of building a bridge to a more harmonious life. Tom Rubens - The Minor Leagues Tom, like Jesse, has owned minor league baseball teams. He got started in the mid 80's when he woke up one day and decided he wanted to own a minor league basketball team. At the time, Tom had lost almost everything he had and it didn't seem particularly realistic but he made it his goal but he knew there was a team for sale in Rockford IL, in the CBA. Tom didn't even know what that stood for. "I am not afraid of failing. I am much more afraid of not trying." - Tom Rubens  He was living in Chicago, earning his living as a commodities trader. It's a great business but a roller coaster one. Tom knew you had to get out on a high and instead he got out in a low. Not only did it wipe him out financially, it wiped him out emotionally. Building a Winning Team Tom left that business basically broke and didn't know what to do with himself.  A year later he called information, at the time you actually talked to a human, there was no Google, and the operator gave him the number for the Rockford, IL minor league basketball team, the Lightning. "The [business] tool I use the most is listening." - Tom Rubens The CBA commissioner actually answered the phone! They discussed the team and Tom's interest in purchasing it. He found someone that owned an expansion franchise. with $25,000 in his pocket, he was a bit short of the $375,000 price tag. At the end of August, Tom had negotiated a down-payment of $25,000 with the balance to be paid by the end of April. tom managed to put together a group of investors and it turned out to be so successful, he continued with the business model. Final Four 1. What have you done to stand out in business and in life? "I have always had the confidence that even if I screw up, I could work my way out of it." 2. What's the best advice you would give to someone to stand out in business and in life? "Do something you love. Make sure whatever you do in life, make sure you love it. " 3. What's the best advice you've received? "Look at life like tomorrow is going to be a great day, every day." 4. How do you want to be remembered in business and in life? "I was totally clean and clear in all of my relationships." To hear about wrestling, minor league baseball, download and listen to the episode!
