While most people were preparing for the adventure of adult life, Chad E. Foster was watching the world he grew up with fade to black but that didn’t stop him from becoming the first blind person to graduate from the Harvard Business School leadership program and climbing the corporate ladder as a successful finance/sales executive.
With determination, ambition, and drive, Chad created what Oracle said would be impossible. He gave millions of people the ability to earn a living by becoming the first to create customer relationship software for the visually impaired.
Even if you’ve been robbed of your self-identity and dreams for the future, you can change your story and achieve your goals.
In Blind Ambition, readers and listeners will:
- Be inspired by Chad’s story of how he transformed the loss of his vision into a gift with unique strengths and abilities he did not have before.
- See how we choose the stories we tell ourselves about our circumstances and how this either limits us or propels us toward our goals.
- Gain new perspective on what is possible when you shift your mindset, give up making excuses, and decide that you oversee who you want to be.
- Learn the mental model that Chad uses to quickly overcome frustrations and stressors.
Overcoming the challenges of blindness improved Chad’s perspective, making him more resilient and grateful for the life that he has. Ultimately, Chad’s unforgettable lessons and outlook will inspire listeners to overcome their perceived limitations and explore new possibilities where they once may have only seen obstacles.
Blind Ambition will teach you how to take advantage of your disadvantages.

From decorated Green Beret sniper, UFC headliner, and all around badass, Tim Kennedy, a rollicking, inspirational memoir offering lessons in how to embrace failure and weather storms, in order to unlock the strongest version of yourself.
Tim Kennedy has a problem; he only feels alive right before he’s about to die. Kennedy, a Green Beret, decorated Army sniper, and UFC headliner, has tackled a bull with his bare hands, jumped out of airplanes, dove to the depths of the ocean, and traveled the world hunting poachers, human traffickers, and the Taliban.
But he’s also the same man who got kicked out of the police department, fire department, and as an EMT, before getting two women pregnant four days apart, and finally, been beaten up by his Special Forces colleagues for, quite simply, “being a selfish asshole.”
In Scars and Stripes, Kennedy describes how these failures shaped him into the successful businessman and devoted husband and father he is today. Through unbelievably vivid, wild anecdotes Kennedy reveals all the dumb, violent, embarrassing, and undeniably heroic things he’s done in his life, including multiple combat missions in Afghanistan, building a school in Texas for elementary kids, and creating two-multimillion-dollar businesses. You will learn that failure isn’t the end–rather it’s the first step towards unearthing the best version of yourself and finding success, no matter how overwhelming the setbacks may feel. -

Their five practices explain how leaders and their teams can build the muscle required to work together as engaged productive human beings – the magic for a healthy culture and better business results.
Get the best–not just the most–out of your people.
Our modern workforce is suffering. For too long, organizations and leaders have sought success through a focus on efficiency and productivity, and it’s costing us dearly. Workplaces have become toxic and getting work done is a lot harder than it needs to be. Bullying and abuse has reached epidemic levels–along with high rates of burnout, turnover, and fatigue. Clearly, something needs to change.
In Humanity Works Better, leadership experts Debbie Cohen and Kate Roeske-Zummer chart a new path forward: one that brings humanity to the workplace through awareness, choice, and courage. The result? A healthier, more productive work environment that draws the best–rather than squeezes the most–out of people.
Inspired by proven techniques they’ve used to transform teams at organizations like Mozilla, Pinterest, Saba, Articulate, and Charge EPC, the authors guide you through their Five Practices. Through these Practices, company culture converts from toxic to healthy, from competitive to collaborative, from fearful to trusting, one human at a time.

That human we are talking about is you. Because, when you change, the people around you change. The Five Practices help you navigate the complex relationships that make us human beings, complexities that become roadblocks and make it hard to get important work done. This audiobook helps you build the awareness and master the skills to become a better person, and a better leader. -

Some “experts” say, Don’t eat carbsForeword by Gary Vaynerchuk
Gary Vaynerchuk’s personal trainers explain how you can enjoy your favorite foods without guilt while losing weight, getting stronger, and improving your health.
Some “experts” say, Don’t eat carbs because insulin makes you fat. Other “experts” say, Don’t eat fat because fat makes you fat. Others say, Don’t eat protein because protein makes you fat. Some even say, Don’t eat fruit because sugar makes you fat. So the logical conclusion would be not to eat anything at all . . . except for the other “experts” who say that makes you fat because it’s starvation mode.
Who should you believe? Who is right? Who is an ignoramus? And who is just trying to make a quick buck? It’s confusing and difficult to know who to trust, but by the end of this book you’ll realize you don’t need to eliminate anything from your diet. You can enjoy all your favorite foods (in moderation) while losing fat and achieving your goals.
The issue is the “in moderation” bit. That’s not a fun or sexy sell. And most people are far less likely to spend their money on “moderation” when a half-naked Instagram influencer is advertising that you can lose 50 pounds in 24 hours while stuffing your face full of cake! That said, considering you’ve got this book in your hands, you must be tired of the lies and deception in fitness marketing and are ready to understand the truth.
Let’s dive in.

Budak is driven by the belief that anyone–regardless of title, personality, race, gender, age, or class–can be a changemaker. This inclusive vision of leadership is the beating heart of the “Becoming a Changemaker” course, and is the driving force for the book as well. Tailored to the millennial/Gen Z set who are exiting school and entering the workforce, this book makes the lessons, insights, examples and excitement from class accessible to all.

The renewed focus on class, race, and equality in the workplace and beyond is making an indelible mark on society. This clarion call for change is sweeping inequality from every corner of the nation, including law enforcement, schools, and businesses. And within the past five years, diversity and inclusion, as well as unconscious bias, have been the main drivers of organizational training, politics, and community engagement.
What’s Your Zip Code Story? helps clarify the intersection of class bias and racial disparity in the workplace and arms organizations with the knowledge to not only have productive discussions, but also adopt effective solutions. Gross instructs class-migrants–whether college students, recent graduates, or overlooked employees–on how to climb the career lattice and transform themselves from undervalued employees to respected leaders. The book tackles challenges that class-migrants encounter when navigating the workplace and provides operative practices that can be utilized to hone new professional skills and drive positive change in workplace culture. It is a powerful tool that will inspire marginalized employees who are hungry for personal and professional growth, as well as give insight to business leaders seeking a new way to engage their teams. Through the lived experiences of the author and research-based strategies, listeners will find insights on how to increase workplace engagement and business performance.

Many of us are tired, stressed, and overworked. We think that following God will bring peace, but instead find ourselves anxious. We expect a life of joy, but end up feeling stressed, living under the heavy load of new expectations. It’s a spiritual and emotional rollercoaster.
We search for solutions using optimization techniques, attempting to fit more and more into our already full days. We try to craft efficiently maximized lives, but these methods always fail, not because they are ill-intentioned, but because they do not go far enough. They fail to understand how God made us–as people with inherent limitations–and they fail to accept that as good.
In The Good News of Our Limits, professor and longtime ministry leader Sean McGever reveals the wonderful news that we cannot do, be, or know all of the things that others expect of us–and that we often expect from ourselves. Nor should we. As it turns out, these expectations are not God’s expectations. The freeing truth is that God created us with limitations, and he did it for a reason. God is the only all-powerful, all-present, and all-knowing person, and we are not. We can only know and do some things, and we can only be in one place at a time. And that is enough. Accepting this truth frees us to find greater peace and joy, and somewhat surprisingly, greater effectiveness in life.
The Good News of Our Limits helps readers answer questions like:
- What are our God-given human limits?
- How do I find peace when I can’t control the circumstances, tragedies, and difficulties that surround my life?
- How do I choose what is best when my time, focus, and abilities are limited?
- How many people can I realistically know personally?
- What can I do to deepen key relationships when I feel relationally maxed-out?
- How do I navigate all the information that comes my way each day?
Through personal stories and fascinating cultural insights, The Good News of Our Limits calls readers to embrace the blessedness of their limitations and adopt a few key practices to better balance their lives. Biblical and practical, it points to a better way forward for us all.

Pink, New York Times bestselling author of When, DriveA Wall Street Journal Bestseller“Marco Greenberg’s Primitive captures insights and advice that everyone can use to thrive in the constantly evolving workplace.”–Daniel H. Pink, New York Times bestselling author of When, Drive and To Sell Is HumanAs a close advisor to visionary startup founders and established CEOs, Marco Greenberg discovered something about the most successful people he knew: They had remarkable instincts, and they trusted them. They had an intuitive grasp of when to ignore convention. No matter how sophisticated, they could access something else–something primitive.It’s a loaded term. But as Greenberg dug deeper, he saw a mindset that helped certain people to overcome challenges that stopped others cold. From a former roadie for the rap group N.W.A to a rock-star brain surgeon, from young tech billionaires to a top-ten college football coach, Greenberg demonstrates how a range of successful people–those he calls “primitives”–ignore what they “should” do and instead tap a primal drive to power ahead. At a moment when old institutions are being swept away, we can’t afford to play by the same civilized rule book. Primitive helps us understand how some of our deepest, inborn traits are essential to navigating this world of dizzying change.The key is to go ROAMING: to be Relentless in pursuing our biggest goals; to have the courage to be Oppositional; and to choose an Agnostic approach rather than specialize. To adopt a Messianic spirit, so your work becomes not just a job but a true calling; to embrace the advantages of being Insecure; and to reap the benefits of sometimes acting a little Nuts; and finally, to realize that being Gallant and noble in following one’s passions delivers the ultimate rewards.At any stage of your career, making primitive moves can be the key to success in work and in life....

Maxwell, ayuda a la gente a contestar diez preguntas poderosas que revelan un futuro en el que se cumplen sus sueños.
La mayoría de la gente con la que se encuentra John Maxwell tiene un sueño. De hecho, él ha preguntado a miles acerca de las aspiraciones más grandes que tienen. Algunos describen su sueño con gran entusiasmo y detalle. Otros se muestran reacios, casi avergonzados de hablar de ello. Independientemente de su celo o temor, la misma pregunta impulsa a cada persona que tiene un sueño: ¿Lo podré alcanzar?
Tristemente, la mayoría de la gente no tiene idea de lo viable que su sueño es. Espera alcanzarlo, pero la esperanza no es una estrategia. Lo que la gente necesita es una manera de poner a prueba su sueño.
En ¡Vive tu sueño!, Maxwell trae a la realidad el tema del sueño personal. Brinda a los lectores dirección poderosa y práctica para sus vidas guiándoles a través de diez preguntas que les ayudarán a crear un camino claro y convincente hacia su sueño.
 10 Preguntas que te ayudarán a verlo y obtenerlo:
- La pregunta de la posesión: ¿Es este sueño realmente mi sueño?
- La pregunta de la claridad: ¿Puedo ver mi sueño claramente?
- La pregunta de la realidad: ¿Estoy dependiendo de factores bajo mi control para lograr mi sueño?
- La pregunta de la pasión: ¿Me impulsa mi sueño a seguirlo?
- La pregunta del camino: ¿Tengo una estrategia para alcanzar mi sueño?
- La pregunta del personal: ¿He incluido a las personas que necesito para convertir mi sueño en realidad?
- La pregunta del costo: ¿Estoy dispuesto a pagar el precio de mi sueño?
- La pregunta de la tenacidad: ¿Me estoy acercando a mi sueño?
- La pregunta de la satisfacción: ¿Me trae satisfacción trabajar para cumplir mi sueño?
- La pregunta de la trascendencia: ¿Se benefician otros con mi sueño?
