      <image:title>Authors - Zara Macias - About</image:title>
      <image:caption>Zara Macias, founder of ZDM Writing, is a Mexican Kentuckian writer, consultant, and social change champion. Zara holds a BA in Political Science with a track in Global Politics and International Affairs. She wrote The Inevitable Loss of Innocence in the hope that it will find the right reader and activate change around glossy narratives and untold truths. She’s quenched (some) of her thirst for social change by spending time learning advocacy methods at the ACLU Advanced Advocacy Institute, representing her hometown of Louisville, Kentucky, at the American Committee on Foreign Relations Young Leaders Initiative (ACFR YLI), and pioneering an Equity, Diversity, &amp;amp; Inclusion (EDI) program in the most rural Kentucky food bank, while serving on the national Feeding America EDI advisory committee.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Authors - Zara Macias - The Inevitable Loss of Innocence: From Girl to Real World</image:title>
      <image:caption>In The Inevitable Loss of Innocence, author Zara Macias writes of the joy and pain of growing up as reflected through one specific rite of passage—the college experience. Her story of a Mexican “Kentucky girl” pursuing higher education in Washington DC in the hallowed halls of “White University” is a beautifully written testament to the power of youth to seek out authentic experiences, even through the disillusionment that may come with it. The narrator of this short novel feels doubly out of place at White University, as a girl from Kentucky and a Latina among the many wealthy and sometimes snobbish students. Nevertheless, she does her best to fit in, even if her wealthy roommate’s ability to spend lavishly on overpriced cocktails far outstrips her own. She quickly finds herself the subject of male attention but yearns for the type of meaningful connection that the young men she meets aren’t necessarily inclined, or able, to reciprocate. The author's evocative, poetic prose sheds new light on the age-old dance that is the human courtship ritual. Modern dating patterns differ from the past in terminology, with the idea of “going exclusive” the modern equivalent of what used to be called “going steady.” Whether being exclusive will result in the type of connection the narrator is looking for is another question. The narrator is imbued with the youthful desire to experience new places as well as people, and this drives her to visit New York City, despite her mother’s warnings. The visits are as much to see people she knows there as to revel in the splendor of the city. The Inevitable Loss of Innocence skillfully highlights the importance of human relationships, wherever they may be found. It also emphasizes the challenges associated with the drive to meet new people and experiences. As the narrator walks the line between friendly and romantic interactions with some of the young men of her acquaintance, the often fraught and at-times dangerous nature of this dichotomy becomes apparent. Written from the perspective of an outsider to the affluent milieu of an elite university, this novelette is both a paean to the hope and reality of chasing one's youthful dreams and a lyrical ode to the highs and lows of the college experience.The Inevitable Loss of Innocenceadeptly immerses the reader in the protagonist’s world. The author’s distinctive voice and viewpoint radiates authenticity as she tells the story of a small town girl who finds herself in a world of privilege far different from the comfortable surroundings of her Kentucky upbringing.

TAI (Teaching with Artificial Intelligence) is a revolutionary skill based learning solution for middle school and high school students that pin points and solves immediate core skill gaps like reading, comprehension, math, problem solving, focus, etc and ensures complete learning success at school. Trina has always sided with the unconventional at each step. While pursuing her college degree in computer science, she started as a tutor for a batch of 16 students in September 2011 with the vision of helping her students excel at school. While her weekend tuition center grew to over a thousand students, she launched her education company 'B-Genius' in November of 2012 to make high quality tutoring available to thousands of students in India. She spent 4 years (2012-2016) building a tutoring franchise company called B-Genius prior to founding TAI. B-Genius started as a single-woman led tutoring center in a very small isolated town that went on to become a global brand having 86 learning centers across various towns and villages of India, Nigeria, South Africa, Democratic Republic of Congo, Nepal, Bangladesh, Zimbabwe, and Zambia catering to a massive 11000+ students visiting the learning centers weekly. Later in late 2017, Trina launched TAI to create a larger impact with technology and curriculum design for millions of students across India.

      <image:caption>Tamara Nall lives by the mantra, “to whom much is given, much is required,” and uses this to guide both her personal and business lives. Her debut book, Busines Success Secrets, is an anthology of the entrepreneurial journeys of 34 authors whose stories reveal the successes, failures and secrets to help any entrepreneur on the journey to building and/or growing a business. Ms. Nall is the President and CEO of THE LEADING NICHE, an award winning and internationally recognized company known for using data and cutting-edge consulting to deliver 'actionable intelligence'.

      <image:title>Authors - Steve Ferreira - About</image:title>
      <image:caption>A trailblazer in his field, Steve Ferreira kickstarted his solopreneur journey by identifying key issues facing some of the world’s largest shippers. While working at an international shipping enterprise, he recognized that companies worldwide were paying for six-figure mistakes caused by billing errors. Having lived and worked abroad in both Europe and Asia, he was in a unique position to identify cultural and economic patterns in container shipping billing that other industry professionals could not. With as much as $5 billion lost per year due to rogue invoices, Steve’s detective work began. Despite initial doubts from fellow industry professionals, Steve’s resolve led him to develop and scale TradeCheck, an ocean freight auditing company that he sold to a NASDAQ traded company in 1997. Despite his windfall success, Steve’s entrepreneurial calling had only just begun. In 2005, he founded Ocean Audit Inc. While developing the new business model, Steve integrated a compensation system that enabled him to keep 50 percent of the lost working capital he recouped. He recognized that without his skills, financial and logistics professionals at even the world’s largest corporations wouldn’t be able to recover comparable sums. He was able to justify his business model as a result. Additionally, Steve’s creative application of AI enabled him to quickly delve through thousands of records, saving hours of manual data analysis in the process. Coupled with his charisma, Steve’s innovative mindset helped propel Ocean Audit to the forefront of the industry. Since beginning his solopreneur enterprise, Steve has worked with seventeen Fortune 100 companies. Today, Steve can be seen hosting FreightWaves TV’s “Navigate B2B”, a nationally televised show that he personally developed. In 204 | Quitless addition to his success with some of the world’s top ocean freight shippers, Steve’s proudest accomplishment is his success as a solopreneur (recognized officially by Forbes in 2018). In an ongoing effort to help others develop strategic B2B business models, Steve regularly coaches entrepreneurs nationwide.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Authors - Sid Mohasseb - About</image:title>
      <image:caption>From a very young age, Sid learned not to leave change to chance. At 7 he learned to be self-sufficient in treating the genetic blood disorder (Hemophilia) he suffered from. At 14, he learned to balance intellect and humility and published his first book of poetry. At 16 he convinced his parents that his future must be shaped in America and migrated to US without his family. Working through engineering school he learned that self-sufficiency begins with selflessness; to succeed one must be able to continually deliver value to friends, family and society. Embracing his entrepreneurial talents, at 21, Sid started and exited his first company while at college. Pursuing his curiosity around the purpose of life, he explored various spiritual and philosophical schools of thoughts. At 25, he taught comparative Eastern and Western philosophy. Sid’s professional career was built on being a trusted advisor. At 27, he became the youngest partner of a national management consulting firm serving fortune 500 clients. Early in his career, Sid realized that trust, flexibility, agility and authenticity are the cornerstones of progress. During the next three decades, he supported large scale acquisitions, acted as the principal investor and operator in company turnarounds. As serial entrepreneur, Sid founded and led several early-stage and hyper-growth companies from inception to acquisition. Many times over, he shouldered the responsibility for meeting payroll and wrote checks to acquire or invest in companies; learning to think both like an investor and a founder; facing, accepting, and overcoming his share of failures and successes in ideas and ventures. Along the way, Sid learned that the wounds of failures are the pathways to our next best version. ----- As an educator, he has influenced the minds of many across the globe. To see students comprehend concepts through the sparkle of their eyes, is Sid’s true passion. He has taught Strategy, Finance, Venture Capital, Negotiation and Data Analytics to MBAs and Graduate level Engineers at University of Southern California (USC), Chapman University, and University of California in Irvine (UCI). He has also created and delivered leadership and management programs attended by thousands of corporate executives. Sid considers the privilege to impact others on their life path and to provoke and motive them to discover their authentic self and excel as his greatest accomplishment. As a professional fund manager and angel investor, Sid has mentored dozens of entrepreneurs, met with hundreds of start-up companies, and reviewed countless business plans. In his support of the entrepreneurial community he served as a mentor for Kaufman Foundation and a commercial evaluator for National Science Foundation. Sid contributed to the California Legislature in empowering the small business community. He founded The Indus Entrepreneur (TiE) organization in South Coast and served as the president of the largest seed funding organization in US. As an advisor and board member, he has counseled corporate leaders across a wide spectrum of industries and scale – from fortune 500 to a man and a laptop ventures. In his journey, Sid appreciates the perspectives of conglomerates, middle market players and start-ups. Working with some of the most exciting leaders and organizations, Sid has learned the value of people and cultures, experimentation and innovation, and clarity of thought and communication. As a thought leader, he has been featured at TEDx as well as on various Television, Radio programs and Podcasts. Amongst others, his articles have been published in Inc. and Forbes. His case studies are available on Harvard Business Review and used by educators globally. His book the Caterpillar’s Edge made the top 100 best business and strategy books on Amazon and is recommended to MBA students by various universities. His new book “The Sculptor and the Sculpture” is scheduled for mid-2020 release. ----- Sid has earned a reputation as the “Entrepreneur philosopher.” He believes in our individual ability to shape our destiny. There are always infinite opportunities ahead of us, regardless of our origins and limitations. Our transformational mindset and ability to embrace uncertainty and leave our addictions to sameness behind are key to realizing our next best version - to evolve. To be impactful, Sid believes that we have to realize that we are the sculptor, the artist who is always working on and perfecting our masterpiece – the sculpture of self. He considers entrepreneurship a talent that we all possess. A talent that is stimulated as we acknowledge our capabilities and pursue our love of wisdom – our Personal Entrepreneurial Philosophy (PEP) Sid continues to believe that progress is rooted in staying relevant and not leaving change to chance.

      <image:title>Authors - Ryan A. Rickert - About</image:title>
      <image:caption>Ryan started his entrepreneurial journey while he was still in college, where he launched a promotions company. He sold that company when he went to work for the Sioux Falls Storm, an IFL (indoor football league) team where he was in special events and marketing, before becoming the team’s general manager. But, he says, “I got pretty burnt out working in a corporate organization. I joke that my body started rejecting suits and ties.” Fast forward a few years and Ryan now has four businesses. In 2011, he started Clean Slate Group, which uses a conformable graffiti-resistant vinyl to wrap traffic and utility boxes, walls, dumpsters, windows, and public art installations. As it turns out, the vinyl is also bioenert, meaning microorganisms cannot reproduce on it. “We’re having shockingly explosive growth and traction in office building and schools because of COVID,” Ryan says. With an eye toward the healthcare industry as a potential market, he’s now working with Honeywell to develop a second product that would actually kill microorganisms. A second company grew out of Clean Slate and was a solution to a major challenge that Ryan faced — he had vastly underestimated the sales cycle for the company’s product. “I forecasted it would be no more than 24 months, but it was more like three to four years.” That posed significant cash flow problems, until Ryan discovered another application for the vinyl wrap. “Because we were doing the large format printing, we had all the equipment in place and all the training for wrapping,” says Ryan. “We'd get friends saying ‘hey, can you wrap my trailer? Can you wrap my truck? Can you do this real estate sign? Can you wrap this wall?’” So he started The Wrap Agency. “I didn’t start out to be a wrap shop or a sign ship, but historically that company has become the breadwinner. It became a seven figure company in three years.” Ryan also founded PintPass, which worked with small craft breweries to create digital gifting of beer through an app. “It grew to 80,000 users in four months, and then all of a sudden Anheuser Busch, MillerCoors, and Heineken started calling,” says Ryan. “It was like the antithesis of what I intended, so I had to choose between some of my soul or backburner in it. I chose the back burner route.” A fourth company, FanUp, is a rapid text engagement platform that partners with brands — 50% are beer and alcohol companies — to engage with and gather data on consumers at events by running social sweepstakes. For instance, fans at a Rockies game might text a shortcode to win a Coors Light at the concession stand. “It was a big sales driver that has morphed,” says Ryan. “It was very annoyingly similar to how Clean Slate and Wrap Agency happened. Because we needed to keep the lights on at PintPass, FanUp happened and it's been our breadwinner.” Ryan is a longtime member of YEC who values the community’s peer connections. “I live in Bozeman, Montana, which is a town of 50,000 people, so I have very few entrepreneur friends here,” he says. “With YEC, I don’t think there’s been any question I’ve asked that hasn’t been answered by someone with a much deeper level of expertise in whatever the topic is. It’s a community with built in-trust, and I’ve made some of my better friends through [YEC].”</image:caption>

      <image:title>Authors - Russell Gaynor - About</image:title>
      <image:caption>The World According to Garp was perhaps the first sign to a troubled young man that his life might be okay. It was incredibly reassuring to see that a young man from such a deeply interesting background could find his niche in life. G. Russell Gaynor was not nearly as challenged as T. S. Garp, but until the revelation of the character, relatively speaking, Russell was the weirdest kid on his block. His father, a career United States Navy man, taught him how to stand up to face the most challenging aspects of life, including the unknown. His mother, a nurse and a technician for the US Geological Survey, taught him how to love and understand. In the beginning, it was mostly stories about superheroes and the stuff of comic books. Then came the works of Alexandre Dumas and the ideal of romantic heroes. Now there was a need to make women swoon and men weep, and poetry was discovered and written. Russell was twelve when he went to his first play, which revealed a love for the stage, and fourteen when role-playing games filled his head with the adventures of steel and sorcery. This all concluded with the love of the story and its effect on the audience. http://grussellgaynor.com/</image:caption>

      <image:title>Authors - Robert Ellis - About</image:title>
      <image:caption>Ellis was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania as Robert Patterson Ellis, and encouraged by his parents to embrace the arts. In his teens, Ellis played rhythm guitar in numerous garage bands, and managed the kitchen at The Main Point, a nightclub in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, where he had the opportunity to meet and hang out with blues and jazz greats like Muddy Waters, Chick Corea, Al Di Meola, and Larry Coryell, among others.[1] Still haunted by the murder of Connie Evans, a fifteen-year-old girl found in a shallow grave near his home as a boy, Ellis's interest in crime fiction began to evolve with the films of Alfred Hitchcock and books by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, John Buchan, and Dashiell Hammett. Soon he gave up music to write and study filmmaking, and began skipping classes at Conestoga High School to attend murder trials. These experiences became short stories, with Ellis sharing the position of co-editor of the school newspaper. Ellis attended Ohio University in Athens, Ohio, majoring in film and philosophy, and graduating summa cum laude. After surviving a catastrophic car crash by a tractor-trailer, he turned to screenwriting and studied with Walter Tevis, author of The Hustler, The Color of Money, and The Man Who Fell to Earth.[2] Ellis made an early career in film, television, and advertising. His first film, The Great Lake States, written and co-produced for National Geographic, took more than a year to photograph and included breaking ice with the U.S. Coast Guard and working with the Menominee Tribe of Wisconsin. The film won Best Educational Documentary at the New York Film Festival. His work in film continued, particularly in advertising where he won a regional Emmy in Philadelphia for CBS News. In 1988, Ellis found representation as a writer-director in feature films and moved to Los Angeles where he ghostwrote the final draft of A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master. Maintaining a keen interest in politics ever since the Vietnam War, Ellis became associated with The Campaign Group. During political years, he wrote, produced, directed, and often shot and edited, more than fifteen hundred television ads for political candidates seeking every type of office, including President of the United States, and won numerous Pollie Awards from the AAPC, and the esteemed My Opponent Is Not A Nice Person Award from the Democratic Caucus.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Authors - Randy Kirk - About</image:title>
      <image:caption>I've owned and operated small businesses my entire life, and I've been helping others become successful running their small businesses for about 40 years through writing, speaking, and consulting. While attending UCLA Law School, I made the decision to pursue business instead of law. Since then I have founded over 20 businesses, fifteen of which helped me pay the mortgage. I am currently building MasterMind groups under the SoCalMasterMinds.com brand, and consulting with several small businesses. I have long been a fan of Elon Musk, and last year I realized that many of his methods of doing business would be applicable to my business and those of others I was helping. Out of this sprung a book, The Elon Musk Method, which is now available to purchase. "When Friday Isn't Payday" is the cornerstone of my writing career. To my knowledge there isn't currently and hasn't been in the past a single volume that covers the journey of the small business owner from idea, through planning, to starting, growing, managing, and even exiting a business. The title says it all: Small business is hard and often lonely. What do you do when your staff expects to get paid tomorrow, and there isn't enough money in the bank? What if you have enough for them, but nothing left over for your own family? Being in business for yourself has questions like that every day. Some are about opportunity, risk, success and some about obstacles, challenge, and failure. I've been there. I can help. I'm an experienced guide, and every page will add to your potential to improve your company and your professional capabilities: Online marketing driving you crazy? We've got you covered with an up-to-the-minute bonus section online that will be continuously updated. Need cash to keep going or make that payroll? From your Visa to the latest crowd funding approaches, the detailed approaches are there. Hiring and firing not your favorite things? Read about methods that will make the process almost fun. More business books will be following that will go into greater depth on many of the subjects covered.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Authors - Randy Kirk - The Elon Musk Method: Business Principles from the World's Most Powerful Entrepreneur</image:title>
      <image:caption>What does Elon Musk know that you don’t? Elon Musk built Zip2 from a start-up to $22 million paycheck in three years. Then Musk built X from a start-up to $160 million paycheck in four years. Since then, he has created SpaceX and Tesla giving Musk an estimated net worth of $20 billion. Would you like to achieve even a fraction of his success? Now you can. Serial entrepreneur and best-selling author, Randy Kirk, exposes 16 secret principles that guide Elon Musk in his entrepreneurial decisions, including: How to become a visionary that profits; How to uncover the principles of running a successful business; How Elon Musk uses networking to scale his businesses; How you should be using your passion and persistence; How to maximize the potential of any business regardless of its size; The counterintuitive thinking about quality and cost; Why The Elon Musk Method works to generate successful enterprises of any kind. Follow SpaceX’s founding member’s Jim Cantrell’s advice and read this book now because “Randy captures the essence of what drives Elon and this gives us valuable insight into what has become one of the most influential people of our time.” Filled with dozens of Elon Musk quotes, you’ll have a rare opportunity to gain proven principles and methods that are unlike anything you’ll read elsewhere.

He wants to be a leader and bring InfraT to the next level. The world is changing rapidly: smartphones are everywhere, personal computers are in every home, and flash is changing the game.

Set in the aftermath of the Columbia shuttle disaster, this book is hard to put down. THE ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE INSIGHT YOUR TEAM HAS BEEN “MISSING” — THE MISSING LINKS IS A MUST-READ FOR LEADERS EVERYWHERE. In 2003, the Columbia Space Shuttle exploded on re-entry, resulting in the loss of life for all seven astronauts, and leaving NASA with a huge problem. But this problem wasn’t easily identified—the investigation revealed that the organizational culture was as much to blame for the explosion as technical difficulties. Enter Drs. Phillip Meade and Laura Gallaher—experts in the psychology of organizational culture and the owners of Gallaher Edge. Drs. Gallaher and Meade apply their vast expertise to map out “The Missing Links” between human nature and organizational culture. Readers will discover how their work at the Kennedy Space Center helped create their model and how it has been applied to numerous organizations across industries. You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to apply this model to your organization to create a culture of accountability, inclusivity, and productivity. Understand The Missing Links and connect inherent human drivers to organizational traits that make up an effective culture: Go behind the scenes to see how NASA assessed organizational culture after Columbia. Learn the core concepts from psychology, anthropology, and management that shaped Drs. Meade and Gallaher’s “Inside Out” philosophy. Go strand by strand on our DNA sequence, exploring the drivers hardwired into our genetic code and how they can improve organizational culture. Hear the call for leaders to set, assess, and intentionally improve their organization’s culture, knowing leadership’s true influence on employees, colleagues, and partners. Access additional resources to unpack these ideas and apply them to your team. “The Missing Links” theory provides insight into what makes us human—so much so that you may wonder why you haven’t been referencing this concept all along!

      <image:title>Authors - Per Sjöfors - About</image:title>
      <image:caption>Per is a thought leader in everything pricing and how companies can use pricing to drive higher growth, sales volume, and profits. As an expert in pricing, he is a sought-after speaker for various conferences, appears regularly on podcasts and business radio shows, and gets routinely quoted in the financial and business press. As a serial entrepreneur running companies in Europe and the US, he performed pricing experiments, some of which did spectacularly well, while others failed completely. Frustrated with how business schools present an abstract and overly academic approach to pricing, Per founded Sjöfors and Partners and set out to make pricing practical and actionable, demonstrating how the 4 Ps of marketing interact and affect price. Prior to Sjöfors and Partners, Per gained more than 25 years of executive management experience where he developed an appreciation for the importance of optimal pricing.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Authors - Per Sjöfors - The Price Whisperer: A Holistic Approach to Pricing Power</image:title>
      <image:caption>THE PARADOX OF PRICING POWER: ASK MORE, EARN MORE. Consumer behavior is irrational – people are finnicky, temperamental, and subjective. But they’re also highly predictable. Thus, when it comes to determining optimal product pricing, there’s one thing to keep in mind: the perception of value is value. In his latest work, The Price Whisperer, Per Sjöfors explores the complex network of variables that regulate customer perception of price and value, that is, why people buy one product and not another. By isolating key factors that determine a target market’s willingness to pay, businesses can effectively hack their existing model, thereby increasing asking price and sales volume. It’s not black magic, it’s human psychology. Start reading now to: Understand the unique internal and external factors that control consumer purchase behavior in your industry Learn how to increase pricing without sacrificing sales volume Discover how to identify the “right” customer for your products and save your marketing dollars for an audience primed for your business Learn why pricing does not exist in a vacuum and how the “set and forget” approach is a recipe for failure Discover why lowering prices and offering frequent discounts seldomly translates into greater purchasing volume Understand how price, in and of itself, sets an expectation of quality and benefit or lack thereof Learn how to hack your existing model structure by approaching consumer behavior as a psychologist, not an entrepreneur You might have the right product, the right marketing strategy and the right branding…but if your pricing is off, your business will suffer.

      <image:title>Authors - Mark Gredler - About</image:title>
      <image:caption>Mark Gredler is an electronics engineer who worked for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for more than thirty-three years, ten of those in a Civil Aviation Assistance Group in Madrid, Spain, where he helped improve the Spanish Air Traffic Control System. While living in Spain in the 1980s, when it was legal to use metal detectors to hunt treasure, Mark took up treasure hunting with his oldest son. At the age of five, that son found his first ancient coin, dated 150 BC. In the 1980s, Mark started making notes and outlines for a future novel based on his experiences in Spain. But it was a long, thirty-year process to produce and publish his novel, the first of a trilogy about an American living in Spain. He started the formal outlining and structuring of the novel after retiring from the FAA. Mark had to overcome discouragement from haters and fear of failure to get his novel down on paper. Key to accomplishing this was first taking action and then overcoming the barriers to successful persistence. Mark’s chapter in this book is a look at these barriers and how to overcome them to become successful. His goal in sharing this is to be “that somebody” that helps somebody else. Mark has published articles for the Celator magazine and contributed to the book, Juan Ruiz, Arcipreste de Hita, y el Libro de Buen Amor, Congreso 2017. He presented his paper in Spanish at this conference, and it was published in that book and in the online Cervantes Virtual Library. The paper is also available in English on his website with its English title, “Similarities Between the Libro de Buen Amor (The Book of Good Love) and Sexual Iconography in Romanesque Churches.” www.markgredler.com</image:caption>

      <image:title>Authors - Kae Wagner - About</image:title>
      <image:caption>President and founder of North Star Marketing, award winning author and keynote speaker, and Executive Coach and Leadership Trainer, Kae Wagner was raised in a large, entrepreneurial family as the 8th of 10 kids. During her formative years, Kae and her family grew up on a dairy farm, a fact that instilled in her a core set of values and beliefs about how to approach a challenge and turn it into an opportunity. As a child, Kae was keen to observe how great ideas, coupled with hard work and determination, could pay enormous dividends. Waking up each and every morning to tend the animals, feeds and gardens, Kae jokes that, “When I was a kid I got up early and went to the barn, now I’m an adult and I get up early and go to the office. Success leaves clues!” Working on the family farm taught Kae the values of patience, grit, endurance, flexibility and creativity. Even as a child however, Kae had bigger plans than the dairy farm; she never lost sight of the dream to one day own her own business. As a result, years later North Star Marketing was born. Over the course of her career, Kae and her team have contributed to the business growth of large companies such as Snyder’s Pretzels, Herr Foods, Baldwin Hardware, High Industries, and Wickersham Construction. Their work has also helped many small to mid-size businesses covering a wide array of categories and industries: from heavy equipment manufacturing to professional services and technology startups. Together Kae and her team have worked in both B2B and B2C positions, often helping businesses to become the “first to market” positions in digital and online sales. Kae sights her early adoption of innovative marketing technology and tactics as having been instrumental in driving growth for her clients’ brands, while simultaneously growing North Star Marketing into a multi-million dollar firm. From the onset of her career, Kae has always been passionate about helping busines sowners find creative solutions to their problems. She relishes in the challenge of applying innovative thinking in order to discover solutions that move the market forward and help her clients meet and exceed their KPI’s. Along the way, Kae even developed a formula for success that she continues to use to this day: “Interaction + Discovery = Memorability.” Kae’s story is truly that of the quintessential American dream come true: start a business using only your talents and gifts to become successful. Today, Kae continues to make it her mission to serve her clients using business marketing and coaching as a means to help them fulfill and achieve their own entrepreneurial dreams.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>2020 was a year that saw social Darwinism play out its ruthless game, in a manner that was categorically ‘no holds barred’. Not the oracles, or the prophets or even your daily horoscope could have predicted the unprecedented challenges that COVID-19 would unleash upon our world. Yet, for all the irreparable tragedy and loss, there exists an inspiring number of stories of triumph, tenacity, and sheer grit. In this amalgamation of personal narratives, we set out to bring those stories to light from some of the hardiest, most adaptable, and agile business leaders of our generation. Together, we’ll explore how each individual company weathered the storm through major disruptions and market changes, remaining all the while, standing on two feet. Our aim is to equip and inspire the entrepreneur of tomorrow to face the challenges ahead. After all, it’s only the people that are crazy enough to believe that they can change the world that truly end up doing so.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Authors - Grace Flores-Hughes - The Opaque Conspiracy: Finding a Way Through Destruction and Despair</image:title>
      <image:caption>In this gripping story of modern-day corruption, the unscrupulous purchasers of a business, aided and abetted by the company’s bank, conspire to cheat a hard-working couple out of their fair share of the company’s value. When an unsuspected short-term setback leaves the company temporarily unable to meet its obligations, the bank seizes on the opportunity to demand the sale of the company’s assets. The bank, which has financed C.E. Levine’s company, misuses its power by colluding with a group of shady business executives who engineer a rigged sale process to gain possession of the entire company not only its assets. The story is narrated by Bonita Levine who must bring to bear every ounce of the toughness of mind she developed growing up in an indifferent family setting and hardened environment to deal with the dire situation the couple finds themselves in when her husband C.E. Levine, a distinguished, decorated military veteran and general officer is forced by its lender to sell his company’s assets which in turn destroys every aspect of their once happy and prosperous life. The Opaque Conspiracy uncovers the seamy underside of the modern business world, providing a sobering reminder of the risks that accompany any attempt to work with those who place greed above all else.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>A founder by nature, Gergo first tasted entrepreneurship as a child selling fruit from my grandfather’s orchard. His journey through founding, funding, and exiting successful startups has taught him a valuable lesson: the hiring process is broken. And so is the way we look for jobs and develop our careers. That’s why he created Lensa, a start-up that offers a technological solution to the crisis of the career marketplace. In 2001, Gergo funded and launched Profession.hu, Hungary’s leading recruitment platform. In just 4 years, they reached an extraordinary market share of 75%. When SanomaMedia purchased the company in 2005, the transaction was the largest of its kind in Hungary up to that time. His passion for startups led him on to found and head e-Ventures, and later, in 2008, to the launch and sale of AffilateMedia, Network.hu, and Replise.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Authors - George Putnam - About</image:title>
      <image:caption>George Putnam, a native of San Bernardino, California, studied piano and music composition at Cal State University at San Bernardino and U.C. Riverside. In addition to teaching a master class for piano students at the University of Redlands, he composed Symphony for Twenty Minutes as his master's thesis at U.C.R. Hoping to write music for film and TV, he moved to Los Angeles. While browsing in book stores there, he discovered the works of mystery writer Raymond Chandler. Devouring the author's books and short stories changed George's interest from music to screenplays and novels. He wrote the films Unlawful Entry (with John Katchmer) and To Kill For, episodes for NYPD Blue and Deadwood, and the crime novel Slapper. He is also a ghost writer. After being introduced to Attorney-Author Jewel Grutman, he agreed to explore an idea she had for a sweeping historical novel based on the arrival of hostile Indian prisoners to St. Augustine in 1875 and the racially sensitive city's reaction to them. It would have adventure, romance, violence, tragedy, heroism, and be told through the eyes of three unlikely allies, led by a spirited young female protagonist. The result is Redfish Oak. George lives in Los Angeles.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Authors - Eric Wentz - About</image:title>
      <image:caption>Eric Wentz was born in a small town in southern Pennsylvania where as a boy he learned to hunt, fish, and read, both the written word and the signs of nature. After years of an almost transient life as the son of a Naval officer, the family settled in Ohio, where he attended the Jesuit College Preparatory high school, Cleveland St. Ignatius. There he engaged in athletics and learned to love the quest for knowledge, a quest nurtured by the Jesuits who play such a prominent role in his first novel. Later, he continued under their tutelage as a student at Cincinnati Xavier University, majoring in English and Social Studies. He wedded these disciplines to a lifelong interest in writing poetry, studying archaeology, and understanding military battle tactics and logistics. He then taught and coached in the Cincinnati area before attending Ohio State University where he obtained a master's degree in applied linguistics and Italian. Wentz' teaching success is mirrored in his career as a Navy officer in the United States reserves. His career has afforded him an opportunity to travel widely in his functions with the Department of Defense and serves as a the basis for much of the material of his current novels. His background in military affairs and linguistics enables him to spin his tales with aesthetic delight and factual precision. Wentz is married and has four children. He enjoys canoeing, camping, SCUBA diving and hiking wilderness trails.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>To avenge the death of his father, a U. S. Navy SEAL leads a counterstrike against Al-Qaeda Saudi-trained Al-Qaeda launches an attack on Camp Delta, the terrorist prison facility at U. S. Naval Base, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The assault mirrors not only the brutality and sophistication of the assault that killed his father but mimics the SEAL’s own tactics. Lieutenant Commander Grant Chisolm must outsmart the head of the fanatical movement, Shakir Amir. Chisolm prepares his men to stop an attack he’s expecting to come from the water. When he realizes he’s about to clash with Al-Qaeda forces coming from all directions and wearing suicide vests--2:00 AM is the scheduled detonation time--he crosses international borders and confronts Cuban forces as well as those of Shakir Amir. Hours later, his forces slaughtered, a badly wounded Amir, bleeding and delusional, floats off the coast of Guantanamo.

Long before Apple became a household name and Bill Gates the poster child for computational wealth, there was IBM and a few crazy visionaries who saw a future NO ONE ELSE could have predicted! In his thrilling work, TOO BLUE!, Dennis Andrews pulls back the curtain of IBM’s history to reveal the sometimes serendipitous sometimes nerve-wracking, technological space-race to develop a computer that would change the course of history! Discover how a small, relatively unknown team of engineers at IBM: colored outside the blue line,” thus shifting IBM’s mainframe business to an untapped and “fruitless” market; pitched and signed what was then a small but feisty Microsoft Corporation (and Bill Gates) to the Acorn Project; fought a corporate slew of internal naysayers that deemed the PC as a risky and unnecessary reputational hazard; elevated personal computers from relative obscurity to a household product for millions worldwide; took the IBM PC from zero units in 1980 to just over 2M units in 1984 and a 34 percent market share; developed the road map for pioneering tech start-ups to come; And much, much more. What almost never was - the story of IBM and the personal computer - is a breathtaking technological adventure fraught with corporate perils and groundbreaking innovation.

      <image:title>Authors - Aaron Vick - About</image:title>
      <image:caption>Aaron Vick is a Mississippi native and current resident of Madison, Mississippi. His passion for innovation and workflow began at an early age leading him to a career in the technology sector that has spanned well over 20 years. At the age of fifteen, Aaron launched his career with a hardware company building computers piece-by-piece, wire-by-wire to sell to individuals and businesses. As technology evolved, so did Aaron’s business. He began providing custom software to help customer’s harness the efficiencies of the technological age. A few companies later, Aaron wound up as part of the Rocket Science crew who provided companies, in Mississippi and beyond, with tailored solutions that embraced the world wide web. Their efforts lead to designing the first document research product, CaseLogistix, for the legal discovery market. Aaron went on to provide workflow consulting and expert witness services within the legal electronic discovery vertical. He has worked in numerous countries around the globe with law firms and corporate counsel both on the strategic and tactical level to overcome the unique challenges of modern complex litigation. He has also served as the administrator and project manager for various U.S. federal court document collections. After the purchase of CaseLogistix by Thomson Reuters, Aaron played an integral part in developing the Litigation Product Specialists team at Thomson Reuters specific to workflow, ediscovery, and CaseLogistix. He went on to become Chief Strategy Officer then CEO of Cicayda. Cicayda provided intelligent discovery consisting of a complete ecosystem for legal professionals called iDiscovery® by combining people, innovation, and technology. While at Cicayda, Aaron &amp; his team continued to disrupt the discovery software market by designing &amp; launching Novara, a platform designed to minimize the costs and headaches associated with collecting social media via illegal web scraping. The use of Novara expanded its reach into massive litigations involving tens of thousands of plaintiffs resulting in faster discovery time and helped establish better legal precedents for future ESI Orders. In 2020, Aaron actively pursued M&amp;A activity at Cicayda resulting in an acquisition by Technology Concepts &amp; Designs, Inc. (“TCDI”) and Aaron accepted the role as Chief Visionary Officer for TCDI. In 2021, Aaron transitioned his focus to emerging technology where he is designing the expansion of archetypal-gamification within technology and assisting startups such as Evichat who are pushing the boundaries of archaic methods and outdated best practices. He is also very active in the technology sector as a mentor, inventor, writer, and advisor in various verticals. Aaron was a founding member of a Mississippi technology incubator &amp; co-working space, Mantle, encouraging young entrepreneurs in the Southeast region to push the boundaries of today’s technology. In 2017, Aaron was given the MS Top in Tech award that spotlights businesses and individuals driving the industry in Mississippi. Aaron’s blog, AaronVick.com, was named as one of the 24 Best Blogs for Startups in 2018 by Fieldboom. As a writer, Aaron has written numerous articles on leadership, startup culture, entrepreneurship, the founder’s journey, and ediscovery topics which have been published across industry journals such as Forbes, Law Technology Today, Above the Law, Law.com, The AI Journal, and Counselor Chronicles. Aaron is also a USA Today and NYT best selling author who has a number of books available in bookstores and online such as Leaderpreneur, Quitless, and Inevitable Revolutions.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Aaron Poynton embodies the essence of innovative and nonconformist thinking.

Transitioning this knowledge to spearheading high-impact strategic marketing initiatives and advising on political campaigns, Aaron seamlessly moved into the tech industry and global business leadership, continually pushing the boundaries of conventional thinking. A successful entrepreneur, Aaron founded and led several thriving businesses, always seizing opportunities. His 2021 anthology, PPE Wars: What COVID Taught Me About Business, featured in Success Mindsets: How Top Entrepreneurs Succeed in Business and Life, became #1 Amazon Non-fiction and a USA Today and Wall Street Journal best seller. It vividly recounts the high-stakes challenges and strategic maneuvers that defined his entrepreneurial journey to race PPE and medical supplies to the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic. Aaron’s career delves into the importance of independent thinking and decision-making, and the courage to question and challenge the status quo in an era dominated by pervasive influences from big government, big tech, media, and corporations. With advanced degrees in business, law, and political science from prestigious institutions like Duke, the London School of Economics, and Harvard, Aaron seamlessly blends academic rigor with practical experience. As a Fulbright Specialist, bestselling author, and a respected member of the Forbes Business Council, he brings a unique and authoritative voice to every endeavor.
