Historia
It was a mild May morning in Charleston, South Carolina, in 1862, the second year of the Civil War, when a 23-year-old slave named Robert Smalls did the unthinkable and boldly seized a Confederate steamer. With his wife and two young children hidden on board, Smalls and a small crew ran a gauntlet of heavily armed fortifications in Charleston Harbor and delivered the valuable vessel and the massive guns it carried to nearby Union forces.

So Glad I listened to thsi

This story needs to be more widely told. Robert Smalls is more than a hero of a single event. He led an extraordinary life. If you want to listen to an inspiring life story. This is one for you.

Historia
As passionate as it is profound, Atlas Shrugged is one of the most influential novels of our time. In it, Rand dramatizes the main tenets of objectivism, her philosophy of rational selfishness. She explores the ramifications of her radical thinking in a world that penalizes human intelligence and integrity.

Too preachy
Revisado: 09-25-23
It started as a decent story. Then descended into preachy political pablum. The speeches by the characters get more and more boring and meandering as the book goes on. I This book was recommended by a person I consider a mentor. I won't hold this against him.

Good story. But, not well organized
Revisado: 06-30-23
This story is good. But, it's poorly organized. He tells interesting stories of his life. But, they are not in chronological order, which makes it hard to follow. Big chucks of his life are also missing or mentioned only in passing ie. He has a Bronze Star but, never talks about how he got it. He has a Southern Mississippi accent that takes a minute to adjust too. Reminds me of the football/baseball player Bo Jackson who is from southern Alabama.

Historia
In this dramatic portrait of legendary and, until now, secretive financier Carl Icahn, best-selling business writer Mark Stevens takes us behind the scenes of some of the biggest deals in U.S. corporate history. A fascinating tale with a cast of characters that includes Michael Milken, Ivan Boesky, T. Boone Pickens, Dennis Levine, and most of the other key players of the '70s and '80s takeover era, King Icahn is the first biography of the business buccaneer who changed the course of corporate America.

Good book. Bad reader
Revisado: 06-11-23
The Icahn story is fascinating and worth learning. This reader, who is the author, makes that difficult. He should have spent the money on a professional! He has a terrible voice, pauses in the wrong places and mis pronounced names and other words.

Historia
In 1883, Napoleon Hill was born into poverty. In 1910, while working as a reporter, he was assigned to interview billionaire industrialist Andrew Carnegie. During this interview, Carnegie gave hints about the "secret" he had used to attain wealth. Carnegie believed the process of success was a simple formula which could be duplicated by the average person. Impressed with Hill, Carnegie commissioned him (without pay and only offering to provide him with letters of reference) to interview over 500 successful men and women, many of them millionaires, in order to discover and publish this formula for success.

Get the original T&GR. Pass on this
Revisado: 05-25-23
Only the opening few minutes is specifically about network marketing. The rest is the book Think and Grow Rich. Which is a great book. But, you get just get that book (original 1937 text) and skip this.

Historia
Can’t Hurt Me, David Goggins’ smash hit memoir, demonstrated how much untapped ability we all have but was merely an introduction to the power of the mind. In Never Finished, Goggins takes you inside his Mental Lab, where he developed the philosophy, psychology, and strategies that enabled him to learn that what he thought was his limit was only his beginning and that the quest for greatness is unending.

Another Home Run
Revisado: 02-09-23
If you listened Can't Hurt Me, you will enjoy this book. If you haven't, go listen to Can't Hurt Me! Not as intense as the first book. But, just as full of valuable lessons we can apply to our own lives - and Goggins gives us the techniques he uses. We can use them even if we don't want to do the things Goggins does. I listened to this is one stretch on a long drive.

THEE All TIme MLM Classic
Revisado: 10-09-22
Every successful person in MLM I know has listened to this audio. It's sometimes referred to as The Seed and the Sower. Eric Worre says he listened to it "hundreds of times". If we want to be leaders in MLM we should too. I will. Probably have about 20 listens so far. Everything else you read/listed to about MLM success can be traced back to this audio.

Great story. Missing some key points
Revisado: 10-09-22
Her life story is amazing and inspirational. However, she never mentions Barry Rand. The first Black person in the C suite at Xerox. A huge omission. Second, it's a little too political at times and it gets away from her personal story. Third, she is not a good narrator. It will take you a while to get used to it. It's still worth a listed. But, it could have been much better.

Listen to Crush It! instead
Revisado: 10-03-22
This is mostly a series of stories Gary tells about people that have deployed the Crush It philosophy he discusses in this first book. Listen to that book instead - it's excellent.

Could have been so much more
Revisado: 10-02-22
This book was written for the author. Not the audience. Michael Elliot had a lot of childhood trauma and this program was a way he helped deal with some of it. But, it falls well short if you want to learn about how he built his businesses and career. I hope he does full autobiography. That would be well worth reading.
