All In Startup: Launching a New Idea When Everything Is on the Line , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 460min
If Owen Chase can't find a way to turn his company around in the next nine days, he'll be forced to shut it down and lay off all of his employees. He has incurred substantial debt and his marriage is on shaky ground. Through pure happenstance, Owen finds himself pondering this problem while advancing steadily as a contestant at the World Series of Poker. His Las Vegas path quickly introduces him to Samantha, a beautiful and mysterious mentor with a revolutionary approach to entrepreneurship. Sam is a fountain of knowledge that may save his company, but her sexual advances might prove too much for Owen's struggling marriage. All in Startup is more than just a novel about eschewing temptation and fighting to save a company. It is a lifeline for entrepreneurs who are thinking about launching a new idea or for those who have already started but can't seem to generate the traction they were expecting. Entrepreneurs who achieve success in the new economy do so using a new "scientific method" of innovation. All in Startup demonstrates why four counterintuitive principles separate successful entrepreneurs from the wanna-preneurs who bounce from idea to idea, unable to generate real revenue. You will likely get only one opportunity in your life to go "all in" in on an idea: to quit your job, talk your spouse into letting you drain the savings account, and follow your dream. All in Startup will prepare you for that "all in" moment and make sure that you push your chips into the middle only when the odds are in your favor. This book holds the keys to significantly de-risking your idea so that your success appears almost lucky. Join Owen and Sam for this one-of-a-kind journey that will set you on the right path for when it's your turn to put everything on the line. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Lauren Fortgang.

Attitude can be sexy.... A practical and inspirational guide for using kindness and positivity as a winning strategy from Celebrity Apprentice champion, Hollywood veteran, and New York Times best-selling author Leeza Gibbons. We live in a winner-take-all world, in which only the toughest thrive. On the surface, from the living room to the boardroom, it's certainly no place for nice. Civility and kindness are often the price of admission, and empowering communication is checked at the door. Leeza Gibbons is a culture changer who doesn't "mess with mean". She has fiercely redefined optimism and used positive communication as an empowerment strategy to win with class. She refuses to sacrifice kindness as she has succeeded in getting ahead. Working for decades in an intense, often merciless industry that rewards novelty, ruthlessness, and the next big thing, she has applied smart principles and excelled through savviness - without having to sell her soul or fake it. But redefining nice does not mean being a pushover. As the winning contestant on the hit show Celebrity Apprentice, the former host of Entertainment Tonight relied on her fresh and authentic "no drama" mentality and smart strategies to outmaneuver the other contestants without disempowering them. Throughout the competition, Leeza kept her cool and, most importantly, remained true to herself and her values. In this book, she reveals the secrets of her years of success and bares the stories and vulnerable moments that led to where she is today. Her success is proof that optimism works. You can play it your way and still win. In Fierce Optimism, Leeza combines stories from her own life and tales of other pioneering business leaders with core principles that others can apply to take them to the next level of success: Engage optimism and kindness as your competitive edge See success unshared as fai ungekürzt.

Warrior: A Memoir , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 348min
In this inspiring memoir, a former female marine platoon leader recalls the wars she has fought - on the playing field and the battlefield and inside her own soul - revealing how overcoming the harrowing circumstances in her life helped her ultimately redefine what it means to be strong and what "perfect" really is. Theresa Larson has lived multiple lives. At 10 she was a caregiver to her dying mother. As an adolescent, an All-Star high school, college, and professional softball player. As a young adult, a fitness competition winner, beauty pageant contestant, and model. And as a grown woman, a high-achieving lieutenant in the marines, in charge of an entire platoon while deployed in Iraq. Meanwhile, Theresa was battling bulimia nervosa, an internal struggle that ultimately cut short her military service when she was voluntarily evacuated from combat. Theresa's journey to wellness required the bravery to ask for help, to take care of herself first, and to abandon the idea of "perfect". In Warrior, she lays bare all of these lives in intimate and vivid detail, examining extremely personal and sometimes painful moments and how, by finally accepting the help of others, she learned to make herself whole. From growing up in a log cabin outside Seattle to facing down the enemy in Iraq, Theresa's journey demonstrates that good health and happiness are daily, intentional acts that require persistence and commitment. Theresa hopes that through sharing her story, she will inspire others to empower themselves, embrace their inner warriors, and redefine strength. Startling and funny, terrifying and triumphant, heartbreaking and inspirational, Warrior is at heart a story of perseverance and success - of a determined woman who is a model for all who are struggling to conquer their own demons. Theresa shows that asking for help can be an act of courage and that we are stronger than we think when faced with seemingly impossible odds. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gabra Zackman.

Science Fiction: A Novel with a Side of Space Sauce , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 346min
In an age where technology makes life as absurd as it does convenient, Science Fiction does for sci-fi what Pulp Fiction did for crime noir.Somewhere in the galaxy a cooking competition goes terribly wrong-a new contestant must be found....Joe Gillette has two issues he's working through: he's terrible with technology, and he's developed a fear of naked women. Just in time, he is befriended by Old Cool, an alien who has been disguised as a British rock star for decades. Old Cool offers to help Joe with his problems - if Joe accompanies him back to Vermicula Prime. Without much thought, Joe agrees, and is promptly whisked into space. Within hours of boarding the Indicus, Joe is already in trouble: his brand new, alien-developed "smart brain" device prompts him to drain the entirety of Earth's wealth so he can have some spending money in space, which he accidentally uses on a hooker. He must find a way to return the money.Meanwhile, a soldier from a race of sentient algorithms is also aboard the Indicus. Joe's odd relationship with technology has corrupted her programming, and the only way to fix it and get on with her mission to destroy Earth is to build a human body and seduce Joe to then corrupt him in return. However, she may have miscalculated when she programmed herself with the personalities "all" of Joe's ex-girlfriends, but being human brings more trouble, and pleasure, than she anticipates.And then there's Urti Inci, the proprietress of the Indicus, who suborns Joe to enter an intergalactic culinary competition in exchange for passage, and Antho Philo, the most important man in the galaxy, whose job to fertilize the female population on Plabobian-vaoi gets pawned off on Joe.
