We Took the Risk dives into the personal journeys of 25 executives who, through their own combination of traits, took on the challenges of an early US renewable energy industry. Far from being a self-improvement book or a glorified “who’s who” run down, this book provides a backdrop by which to juxtaposition your own career journey. Author Tom Weirich lets you view the beginnings of the industry as if you were there, lock in step with these entrepreneurial leaders, as they sift through decisions that would forever impact the trajectory of renewables in the US.

Highly Motivational and Engaging - I Learned a TON
Revisado: 02-10-24
This book is such a wealth of information about the roots of the solar industry. As an entrepreneur in this space, working on a solution for the end-of-life and recycling of PV panels, I found it fascinating to learn about the audaciousness and persistence of the early risk-takers who laid the foundation for renewables in the first place.
Every chapter is a deep dive into the motivations and strategies that led to the massive increase in solar adoption today. I'm impressed by the quality of the research in Weirich's writing and the level of authenticity he drew out in each character.
I can see this book being a long-term reference for influencer names and networking connections, not to mention a constant reminder that we have to have first movers when we need to change the status quo. It's ok to be different. It's ok to put ideas out into the world.
I found the writing style and approach easy to digest, and a text I will come back to again and again as I move through the entrepreneur roller coaster!

For generations, we have focused on the individual drivers of success: Passion, hard work, talent, and luck. But in today’s dramatically reconfigured world, success is increasingly dependent on how we interact with others. In Give and Take, Adam Grant, an award-winning researcher and Wharton’s highest-rated professor, examines the surprising forces that shape why some people rise to the top of the success ladder while others sink to the bottom.

Confronting change is incredibly hard, both organizationally and personally. Yet the pace of change in our world will never be slower than it is right now, says Beth Comstock, the former vice chair and head of marketing and innovation at GE. Imagine It Forward is an inspiring, fresh, candid, and deeply personal audiobook about how to grapple with the challenges to change we face every day. It is a different kind of narrative, a big-picture audiobook that combines Comstock’s personal story in leading change with vital lessons on overcoming the inevitable roadblocks.

Living with his little brother, Fudge, makes Peter Hatcher feel like a fourth grade nothing. Whether Fudge is throwing a temper tantrum in a shoe store, smearing mashed potatoes on the walls at Hamburger Heaven, or scribbling all over Peter's homework, he's never far from trouble. He's a two-year-old terror who gets away with everything, and Peter's had enough.

I'm fairly new to video and was looking for a resource to help me get started with marketing videos for my businesses. Im so glad I started with Stockman's book. One time through and I'll be listening again once I get my microphone and I can start shooting.
