Title: In the Black

Subtitle: My Life

Author: B. Denham Jolly

Narrator: Tim Puckett

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 hrs and 39 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-23-17

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Business Leaders

Publisher's Summary:

A remarkable memoir about achieving prosperity in the face of relentless prejudice.

In the Black traces B. Denham Jolly's personal and professional struggle for a place in a country where Black Canadians have faced systematic discrimination. He arrived from Jamaica to attend university in the mid-1950s and worked as a high school teacher before going into the nursing and retirement-home business. Though he was ultimately successful in his business ventures, Jolly faced both overt and covert discrimination, which led him into social activism. The need for a stronger voice for the Black community fueled Jolly's 12-year battle to get a license for a Black-owned radio station in Toronto. At its launch in 2001, Flow 93.5 became the model for urban music stations across the country, helping to launch the careers of artists like Drake.

Jolly chronicles not only his own journey; he tells the story of a generation of activists who worked to reshape the country into a more open and just society. While celebrating these successes, In the Black also measures the distance Canada still has to travel before we reach our stated ideals of equality.

A MUST listen! - Inspiring, Powerful & Educational

In the Black traces the life of Canadian Civil Rights Activist B. Denham Jolly.

It is a powerful story that encourages unity and equality that is based on many unknown and important facts in Canadian history.

It is an easy listen; the performance was great.

The story is excellent and should not be missed.

If you are looking for something inspiring and educational, I highly recommend this book to all of my fellow audio book listeners!

Also - "In the Black" recently won the notable Toronto Book Award for 2017 which, in my opinion, speaks to the powerful story.

From the cofounder of the Vera Bradley empire, a practical and inspiring book that shows women how to awaken their full potential at any age.

Women looking for the encouragement to start a new chapter, women balancing career and family, and new graduates entering the workforce will all benefit from the Baekgaard's learned wisdom as it applies to career, life, and relationships.

Format: Unabridged

Length: 3 hrs and 32 mins

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 1 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Business Leaders

Publisher's Summary:

An incisive look into the world's most innovative tech company and the man chosen to lead it

On 10 August 2015, an unassuming product expert who learnt his ropes at IIT Kharagpur was declared the next CEO of tech giant Google. Sundar Pichai's appointment was hardly an unexpected one. Pichai is a man known as much for his veritable Midas touch with every product he has developed or led for Google - Chrome, Chrome OS and Android, to name just a few - as for his superlative people skills and open-minded approach to innovation.

Yet, the company's decision to restructure its product lines and appoint Pichai as the head of a leaner, more focused Google, has raised inevitable questions:

Pichai: The Future of Google provides answers to these questions while throwing light on Sundar Pichai's childhood and education; his entry into the tech world and quick rise up the ranks in Google; and his key contributions as a leader and tech-guru to Google's most successful properties.

Timely and insightful, this book offers a rare glimpse into the fascinating ecosystem of a path-breaking company and shows us what it takes to be a dynamic leader in the 21st century.

Publisher: Shrewdhippo Digests

This digest captures Warren Buffet's way of life, his business sense and principles and the secrets to his success.

The story begins when Buffett was six years old, intrigued by the ideas of risk and probability. At age 11, he was already dabbling in trading having bought three shares of Cities Services for himself and three for his sister. In 1964, he bought Berkshire Hathaway, a Massachusetts textile firm and he managed to grow it to the 12th largest company in the US.

Despite having amassed $62 billion in wealth, Buffett barely indulges. He pays himself a salary in the range of US$50,000 - US$100,000 and makes massive contributions to charities instead. He made the largest charitable donation on the planet in 2006 to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

One of the greatest investors the world has known, this digest captures intimate details of his life and successes.

Title: Jack Ma

Subtitle: The Biography of a Self-Made Billionaire and CEO of Alibaba Group

Length: 52 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-08-17

Publisher: Author's Republic

Ratings: 1 of 5 out of 3 votes

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Business Leaders

Publisher's Summary:

Jack Ma is the founder and CEO of the Alibaba Group, a privately owned Internet-based e-commerce company in China whose sales are estimated to be bigger than its American competitors eBay and Amazon.com combined. This book reveals a Jack Ma different from your imagination.

How did Jack overcome his humble origins and early failures to achieve massive success with Alibaba? How did he outsmart rival entrepreneurs from China and Silicon Valley? Can Alibaba maintain its 80% market share?

Jack Ma is a man who does not see failure as an option, not a final one anyway. Ma has been through more failure than success in his life, we just don't hear much about it because his success has been so big! Ma's education through failure more than traditional channels has shaped a man that is globally savvy, compassionate and fiercely passionate about entrepreneurship. He recently shared with Charlie Rose, "I failed a key primary school test two times, I failed the middle school test three times, I failed the college entrance exam two times and when I graduated, I was rejected for most jobs I applied for out of college." (Ma was one of five applicants to the police force and the only one to be rejected. Then there is the application as one of 24 applicants to be a KFC manager and also be rejected. "I applied for Harvard 10 times, got rejected 10 times and I told myself that someday I should go teach there." Even in the early success of Alibaba Ma was told by Silicon Valley venture capitalists that his business model was wholly unprofitable and he was sent back to China unfunded. In the face of all this adversity Ma did not give up, give in or blame; he just continued to try.

Unjust biography

This biography does not do justice to Jack Ma. It is poorly written and I'm sure his real stores way more exciting than this narrative. Jack would not be happy about it

Musk has stated that the goals of SolarCity, Tesla Motors, and SpaceX revolve around his vision to change the world and humanity. His goals include reducing global warming through sustainable energy production and consumption, and reducing the "risk of human extinction" by "making life multiplanetary" by setting up a human colony on Mars.

20 puff pieces

Like a cheap version of FT/Forbes glowing bios of executives and entrepreneurs. The protagonists have no flaws except that they are too intelligent, too kind or too committed. These glaring flaws are all evident in the first headline story. They made chips. It was a new market. There are existing competitors. Everyone treated each other poorly from suppliers to vendors - a common enough story when you are a small trader in all developing countries. So how did they make it? There is no talk of what they offered that was better except that they were kinder, more honest and fairer. How about telling us how they found good partners with whom this worked, that valued fairness and long term relationships. Listening to folks working in developing countries, finding people who thought in terms of long term mutually gainful business relationships was one of the biggest challenges. This is one example of the gaping holes in the stories. I stopped after the 4th story. Waste of time.
