Does anyone else smell shift? Do you sense that the insurance industry is headed for an upheaval? Do you suspect that there is some brilliant, forward-thinking entrepreneur in a garage somewhere about to reinvent the game? Do you find it hard to make your case for leading change, while everyone else is still talking the same way, doing the same things, and getting the same results?

Born and raised in Southern California, David R. Jackson embraced an entrepreneurial spirit from an early age. When he was 12, he began his first paying job as a paperboy for the Anaheim Bulletin and throughout his teens, he worked at several jobs, including as a janitor for Fairmont Schools, a gas station attendant, and an aircraft refueler. He earned his private pilot license at 16, but not before his first solo flight that turned into a rather harrowing experience. Upon graduating from high school, David's adventuresome nature took over and he embarked on his dream of traveling the Americas to ski. With two friends, he traveled down the Pan-American Highway to Chile, across the Andes to Argentina, and then to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil before heading back to California.

Women who are smart enough to have the kind of big ideas that can change the world are also smart enough to understand that the odds are stacked against them.In the past decade, all-female founding teams never received more than 3% of the US venture capital pool.

A simple guidebook for navigating the new world of sports marketing and brand managementThe modern consumer, today’s fan, is no longer passive. Over three quarters of millennials say they prefer experiences over traditional advertising. Old approaches won’t work. Yard barkers handing out free towels. A stadium plastered with billboards. Maybe a new Jumbotron. Today’s fan is looking for something more engaging, more interactive, and more immersive.Industry pioneer, James Giglio, the founder of MVP Interactive, takes us through his fascinating decade-long journey, starting out with a vision for immersive experiences, well before anyone had ever heard of virtual reality. Over that time, he has had the opportunity to work with many leading sports teams, professional leagues, advertising agencies, and consumer brands, to completely redefine the fan experience and now he shares those lessons with us.James also takes us through his own personal story of building a startup, from growing up as a daydreaming kid in Ocean County, New Jersey, to working with an advertising agency in New York and recognizing that three themes were emerging: the iPhone app explosion, the increased use of digital signage or so-called “street furniture,” and the emergence of “pop up events” by leading brands. He began to wonder how these three trends could be brought together. What if the immersive technology on our iPhone could be brought to the streetscape? What if those digital displays could become interactive? And what if brands could attract consumers to them rather them just hawking them promotions and free stuff? The result was MVP Interactive. But like any startup, there were bumps along the way and James’ story is a heartfelt, honest tale of making many... let’s just say, learning a lot of lessons along the way.The timing could not be better. Post Covid, events are back and back big. During the pandemic, we all went fully remote and realized it was just way too much screentime. But we are also not going back to the way it was. Beyond the Jumbotron lies a new, hybrid world where human interaction and technology combine. James takes us through not only the why — the dramatic changes in consumer attitudes and behavior that are driving the adoption of immersive technology, but more importantly the how — how to bring these projects to life and lead to real, measurable result after case study and shows the possibilities of new technology are not only endless, but also just the beginning. lts for sports properties and brands. James and his team at MVP Interactive have completed over 200 immersive technology projects and the book is filled with case study after case study and shows the possibilities of new technology are not only endless, but also just the beginning.

When most people think of orthodontic care, they imagine straightening teeth and braces or clear aligners. In this era of -it-yourself orthodontics, they might even think of mail-away retainers that don’t even require you to set foot inside an office. But there is so much more to orthodontic care than that. In this book, Dr. Douglas L. Knight educates patients on why orthodontic care is so much more important and comprehensive that most understand.The FACE Method is a first-of-its-kind comprehensive, interdisciplinary approach to keeping your entire body healthy, with an emphasis placed on the face. It is different from traditional care in that it includes setting goals around aesthetics, airway, long-term stability, TMJ, jaw function, periodontal health, and more. This sets patients up for the best possible long-term outcomes and a functional mouth for the rest of their lives. Problems like crooked teeth or TMJ can be affected by other body systems that need to be addressed, not just solved temporarily with a quick fix. FACE-trained orthodontists don’t just care about aesthetics or have the singular goal to straighten teeth. They solve the fundamental, underlying issues and have a goal-oriented approach that considers the health of the entire person, valuing long-term, stable outcomes. This is the kind of all-inclusive care adults and children deserve.

Journalism is in crisis, but the solution is right in front of us.It’s no secret that news outlets are struggling to maintain their audience, and journalism jobs are being cut to accommodate tighter and tighter budgets—all while the public regularly falls prey to “fake news.” Today, news consumers have lost trust in journalism. They sense, rightly, they aren’t getting the whole story.By reimagining a model for international journalism, Cristi Hegranes has proven we can reverse this trend—by changing who tells our stories. Local reporters with proximity to events and access to diverse sources tell fuller, more accurate stories—the sort of news consumers have been demanding for years.Featuring original interviews with some of the biggest names in journalism, including Nicholas Kristof, Carroll Bogert, Bobby Ghosh, Lauren Williams and Global Press reporters across the planet, Byline makes a bold case that international coverage led by local journalists can restore trust in the entire industry.To enact this solution, the industry will have to let go of many outdated assumptions about what news people want, who has a right to tell their story, and just what security means in the new era of journalism.

What is a boutique? A boutique is a professional services firm past the start-up stage but prescale. Examples can be found in consulting, marketing and advertising, IT services, etc. It’s basically anyone who sells their expertise.There are 1,465,900 boutiques. This book is for them. It is about what firms at scale do. It is about what boutiques need to do to scale. And this knowledge gap between those at scale, and those not at scale, makes all the difference.There is about $2 trillion spent per year on professional services. Those at scale capture most of it. If you want a bigger piece of the pie, you must scale. We are in the golden era of boutiques. The business models of your clients are being disrupted. This makes it virtually impossible for them to have all the required expertise in-house. They are looking for external expertise. They have big budgets to spend. Clients are buying from boutiques in record numbers. The sun is shining. Time to make hay.

A Treasured Gift from a Father to his SonAs a senior in high school, I received a special gift from my father.As I was about to leave home for college, my father handed me an eleven-page handwritten letter that contained his best advice for his son. The letter contained quotes from Shakespeare, snippets from classic literature, and candid confessions about things that my dad wished he had done differently.The letter was written by pen but might as well have been written in granite. I still have this letter in a drawer in my bedroom closet and I read parts of it about once a month. To this day, I treasure my father’s words of wisdom.As we get older, we realize that there are many lessons that life gives us. These lessons in life are invaluable. But these lessons in life are not serving anyone unless we share them with our family, friends, and even strangers.About three years ago, I began writing the most important lessons that I’ve learned in my life. The life lessons range from almost every aspect of life, including health and nutrition, financial management, faith, professional goal setting, and virtues such as perseverance, sacrifice, and gratitude.Ninety-seven percent of these life lessons are based upon abject failures, repeated mistakes, and, in some cases, heartbreak, but our mistakes and failures make us who we are. And I wouldn’t have it any other way.Win Today was inspired by my father, James H. Fisher, Esq., who knew better than anyone that the greatest lessons aren’t taught in a classroom.

MOST PEOPLE HAVE SOMETHING THEY WOULD LIKE TO DO BETTER. If your job is to help them do that, where do you begin? You might think that because he served as a player development coach in the NBA, Phil Weber would suggest that you start by immediately focusing on the specific skills. What will surprise you about this book is that it starts with and builds on the mental and relational aspects of development that must be established first. Weber lays out a blueprint that addresses the importance of mindset as a foundation for the developmental process. And since all players (and all people) are different, there is no one-size-fits-all approach. This book describes how to identify the unique motivators and triggers that people bring to the table and how to meet them where they are psychologically and emotionally in order to create the right developmental process for them.

THE BOOK VENTURE CAPITALISTS DON'T WANT YOU TO READ Frustrated with the impractical lessons he learned throughout the course of completing two master's degrees in the business and economics fields, Muñoz set out to chart his own business development and organizational management system that did not rely on the venture capitalist models commonly found in the United States. Enter the Neural Organizational Model for Exponential Growth (NOMEG), both a philosophy and a business management system that reinvents how companies are structured and emphasizes the importance of innovation, experimentation, and collaboration. It rejects the notion of specialization in favor of a more nimble, adaptable structure that sidesteps competition and reduces an entrepreneur's reliance on venture capital. With this book, Muñoz explains in detail the nine components of NOMEG: Organizational Model, Innovation Process, Talent System, Exponential Marketing, Global Licensing, Central Bank, Working Capital, Board, and Exit.The Nomeg Model: Creating a Profitable International Company without Money from Investors is as much a poignant account of Muñoz's hardships, resolve, and humanity as it is an easy-to-read manual packed with applicable, real world tested strategies to engage the rapidly evolving business terrain of the modern world, told from Muñoz's signature perspective of fiery ambition and drive, as well as the discipline and collective knowledge required to sustain them.

RESTORATION ENCOMPASSES BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT During the early years of her career, Marisa Faircloth had the good fortune to work with some of the best plastic surgeons in the field. She thought then what she knows now: that less invasive procedures are perfect for people who don't want or need drastic changes to their overall appearance. As she tells her clients, radical changes in your appearance are not going to make you beautiful; the lightest of touches can bring out your natural beauty. Marisa's unique approach to human connection and empathy allows her to provide more than the aesthetic services she offers. Though clients may come in thinking they need beauty services, they often leave feeling full restoration of body, mind, and spirit. Marisa's mission is to uncover the hidden beauty in each person who walks through her door. Whatever she can do to enhance and empower them, she takes the time and effort to do. Her book gives readers permission to do something nice for themselves, because if it makes them feel better, it makes everyone they touch feel better too. This is why the benefits of self-care are limitless. Using her decades of experience in aesthetics, she shares with readers how beauty extends beyond the face and body: true beauty comes from the compassion and connection we extend to others.
