"Brunt grew up near Philadelphia where he attended The Haverford School and graduated from Duke University. He was formerly a management consultant for the information tech company, Booz Allen & Hamilton, and served as a director with Idealab!. However, he's best known for his position as CEO and president of the Florida-based security software company Authentium, Inc… …A year later, he would leave the company to focus on another passion of his: writing."—Marie Claire douglasbrunt-author.com Get The Lost Empire of Emanuel Nobel https://amzn.to/3PbVTnn Here's the blurb from Douglas' book: With the exception of the tsar, Emanuel Nobel was likely the wealthiest man in early twentieth-century Russia, and one of the wealthiest in the world. Over three generations, he and his family grew the Russian petroleum industry into a behemoth that surpassed even John D. Rockefeller's Standard Oil. The Nobels imported the best practices from America and improved on them, transforming every aspect of the industry. Though Emanuel's uncle Alfred would become world famous thanks to his creation of the Nobel Prize, the even more successful Nobels in Russia have been largely forgotten. The reason why is one of history's most gripping untold stories. Working in the oil fields of southern Russia at the same time as Emanuel was a troubled young man from a peasant family in Georgia. Though educated to be a priest, he took a different path when he discovered the revolutionary ideas of Karl Marx. In and out of prison in Siberia, charismatic and committed, always at the center of a fight, this young man would become known to the world as Joseph Stalin, a leader of the Bolshevik Revolution and eventually one of the most brutal dictators in history. Directly in Stalin's crosshairs was Emanuel Nobel, who represented everything Stalin despised about capitalism. As the world turned upside down, Emanuel began to plan a life-or-death escape from Russia. But would he make it out in time? And what would be the fate of the immense empire he and his family had built?

Derek Allen (known professionally as DOA) has built a reputation on precision, feel, and versatility. Respected in the music industry as a world class bassist, producer, songwriter, and musical director.

His work with artists including Janet Jackson, Lionel Richie, TLC, and Bobby Brown reflects an instinct for serving the song and the artist first. Over the years, that consistency has made him a trusted collaborator in the studio and on live productions alike. In this conversation, Allen discusses musicianship, preparation, longevity, and the craft behind professional performance. Hosted by Jon Leon Guerrero for the Getting the Gig Series of the Break It Down Show, produced by Pete A. Turner and Larry Lemas. Derek Allen (DOA) recounts starting as an 8-year-old quartet bassist in Sacramento, struggling in LA, then touring with Shalamar, Troop, Karen White, Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation, Bobby Brown, and more. He highlights faith, brotherhood, perseverance, and owning your value.

Get Nolan: The Singular Life of an American Original on Amazon at amzn.to/4dwTD1N The blub from the book: Nolan Ryan was the hero to two of America's biggest institutions: Texas and baseball. Nolan is an exploration of God, family, baseball, and America—and a tribute to one of the greatest pitchers to ever step on the mound. He grew up in the small, hard town of Alvin, Texas, was graced with a fastball, and fell in love with a woman named Ruth, then honored all three in his pursuit of hardball perfection. Alongside Nolan's personal story, renowned sportswriter Tim Brown offers a thoughtful, deeply researched history of baseball in the Lone Star State, and an unforgettable account of three glorious decades in the Major Leagues. Nolan Ryan's story is about dominating on the field, then growing old in the game, then just plain growing old. It's about the man who has become a symbol of the game at its best, the way it used to be. It's about deeds over words. About cattle matching the hat. About fastballs over all else. Nolan makes the case that there has never been another like him. And there won't be again.
