Unexpected Story

Revisado: 02-17-25

Without any expectations, it took a little while to get my head into the story, but in the end, it was really enjoyable.

The madness

Revisado: 12-12-23

This is a great reimagining and expansion on the original story that we waited more than a decade for. Really good baseline for the rest of the series coming. Totally worth your time.

Ok for a freebie

Revisado: 05-12-23

Nothing really surprised me here. I sort of enjoyed it but the slow measured cowboy storytelling was both good and boring at the same time. There weren’t any surprises and the story was possible but not intriguing. I don’t feel like I got the full understanding of this author.

What a great little story to fill your time between picking your next big book. Zachary did a fantastic job with his calm demeanor, and building a character doing a really tough job.

Classic sci-fi from the modern era

Revisado: 01-20-23

I think the best part of this book is the engineering brain that wrote it and created the characters. It has some really great classic science-fiction elements, but the story and storytelling really make this a wonderful series. Looking forward to the next book.

Why Branding Matters

Revisado: 11-08-22

Make it or break it decisions are often some of the first ones we make launching a business and/or product.
Who are we?
What are we selling?
How much does it cost?
Features?
Unique differentiators?
How does it stack up against the competition?
What do we name the product and/or company?

Sometimes we launch a product or company with good people, good products and all the answers above seeming to fill the need. Yet sometimes we fail in spite of all our best efforts. What makes the biggest brands in the world successful?

Until I read this, I didn't realize how much well thought out branding is at the heart of their success. In many cases the branding - not the "name", defines everything we aspire to be and the path to follow to success.

This book is a guide to everything you should understand when embarking on building a successful brand. The advice is based on a long career in branding by the author and draws inspiration from you guessed it... proverbs and stories related to bulls that create thoughtful lessons worth hearing.

I've been around marketing for a number of years and there were lessons and truths in this book that had a great impact on me. Don't make a big commitment in a massive endeavor without getting some guidance from this book and the author first. I myself shared it with someone who really needed it and i'm glad I did.

Unexpected

Revisado: 08-31-22

I’m not sure why I took a risk on this but I’m glad I did. It’s very short and very enjoyable. Don’t wanna give anything away but sometimes you need a little self help.

Of the metaverse and life

Revisado: 08-18-22

We’ve all seen books and movies try and glorify nerd culture and history of computers, movies and video gaming but never have I seen any story provide such an immersive reverent homage to the modern history of nerd culture.

I guess the best part is that I recognized most of all references and they were interwoven in such a fashion as to bring joy to my heart.

Will Wheaton did a great job and his joy at this piece of work was evident all the way through. I’ve already been following him on Facebook long enough to know that he revels in what this book is about and I’m glad that he was given the opportunity to read this to us.

It’s hard to say something is your favorite when there are so many amazing books and stories that claimed my heart, so I definitely have to say for the moment… this is my favorite.

There is no substitute for experience.

Revisado: 05-05-22

I have to commend Erik on a really great job here. Just finished the second book and looking forward to the third on audio books. His down to earth actual life experience is more valuable than what people are being taught in school about marketing.

While this is a no-frills likely single session recording, it is well organized. This fast paste two hour book is very much like a master class. Filled with basic business and more importantly solid strategies for the industry.

..So Good

Revisado: 07-02-17

I've been following Scott Sigler since the original publication of this book in podcast form. Getting to experience it again was a nostalgic look back at his first book which captured me as a lifetime fan. The big bonus was the spit and polish of 10 more years of writing skill and storytelling experience.

The rewrite/update is fantastic. The performance by Ray Porter was also great. Patiently looking forward to the sequel.
