Just in time for the college football season ...Michael Weinreb’s SEASON OF SATURDAYS: A History of College Football in 14 Games. Weinreb, also the award-winning author of Game of Kings, has written extensively about college football for over a decade for GQ, The New York Times, Grantland, Sports on Earth, and other print and online publications. Now, he has put his in-depth knowledge and love of the game into a wide-ranging, fun, and wildly readable chronicle of college football from its inception in 1869 and its nascent days on elite Ivy League campuses to its most recent highlights and current challenges.
Featuring nearly every major college football program, and a fair share of the minor ones, SEASON OF SATURDAYS delves into the key moments, unique personalities, and serious scandals that have made college football such a popular and controversial sport. Each chapter uses one of the great games of all time as its jumping off point, and from there expands into a discussion of that game’s significance amid the larger debates and trends over the course of college football history. Weinreb reflects on the stories of iconic coaches like Woody Hayes and Steve Spurrier, and pauses on monumental plays, such as the finales of the 1982 Cal-Stanford game and the 2013 Auburn-Alabama game.
Winningly and intelligently written, SEASON OF SATURDAYS illuminates the American experience through the lens of college football. Weinreb unpacks his own complex obsession with the game—one that combines a passion for the sport with a skepticism of the inherently violent play and the corrupt institution. Through his self-analysis, he gets to the core of the American fanaticism for college football, and uncovers why the game has a hold on fans that is distinct from its professional counterpart, the NFL. Weinreb also colorfully presents what he dubs as “The Argument,” i.e. college football’s ongoing struggle with naming a champion. This coming season, the NCAA will usher in a new four-team College Football Playoff to crown its national champion; but, as Weinreb reveals through his close study of the last century and a half, that won’t solve anything.

I have worked as an employee and have held most major titles in the business World from Administrator to Ceo. Rising in the ranks of the corporate world was very easy for me, however, deep down I knew something was missing. I did not like the routine of the job and in many cases I was not even excited to open my paycheck every two weeks; not because I was not grateful but because It was the same dollar amount week in and week out and to be honest, many times all of it would be spent on my obligations before it was in my hand.

One day, I took the advice of my boss " to go out there" as he so aptly put it to find myself. He also told me that if it did not work out for me, my "Job" would always be here waiting for me.

Well, off I went, on a journey that tested me to the core, however, during that time, I discovered that I had a deep rooted passion to help people become their best selves, physically, spiritually and of course financially independent.

I went on to develop, co-own and manage many fitness facilities and wellness centers from the ground up .When the Professional Athlete I was working with, retired from his sport and the fitness world, I decided to give the Real estate World a try and have been working in Real Estate Field.

Both opportunities gave me a chance to make fair amount of money per year.. a little more than before and also allowed me to help others to a degree but I still wasn't fully were I needed to be and where I knew I could be. My true destiny!

Last Summer, a trusted friend and fellow Realtor, introduced me to Visi. I listened to the Visi Story and instantly knew that this was the next piece of the puzzle. Visi is the vehicle that helped me achieve one of my life's true goal.. and that is to help others become healthy, wealthy and financially free . The products are life altering, the company is financially solid and the experience of the Corporate Team adds up to more than 100 years.

In addition to being the solution to my career goals I have seen a major difference in my fitness level for the better, I am stronger, I sleep much better and I have lost an amazing 25 lbs in a matter of months. I have received many bonuses,I have travelled many times, and this July, I have take an amazing Scandinavian cruise to witness first hand where Visi's Scandinavian ingredients and first to market Artic cloudberry originagtes from. To date customers are experiencing the same great results with the Visi Products. Our first ever chewable Hydrolyzed Collagen Protein chew, Probita and our Hydrolyzed Collagen Lifestyle Smoothie, Nufinna are certified clean for Elite Athletes and Fitness Professionals by the BSCG (Banned Substance Control Group).

My Visi Partners form a dynamic, forward thinking and committed team that anyone would be proud and happy to become a part of. I wake up excited everyday healthy, ready and willing to share the Visi Story.

About Tim Levy

People often ask me, ‘How did you come to be doing all these books and CDs and DVDs and TV shows? What path led you to your CEO and entrepreneurial coaching and coaching work?’ Well, let’s go back to the beginning.”
A Brief History

I was born in Sydney, Australia in 1972. I had a wonderful childhood in Sydney’s north shore, attending Barker College, then the University of New South Wales. I pretty much lived inside the Apple //e my awesome parents bought me at the age of 9, and then studied computer science for my Bachelor of Computer Science.
I was drawn to technology as the most creative tool around. Even then I was interested in writing books, recording albums, making film and television.
At the same time I had an amazing executive education through my father and his social circle. He was, to my memory, always a managing director, CEO or manager of CEOs. He eventually ran the Australia arm of what is now Vistage International, arranging for me to begin speaking there at the tender age of 17.

In 1942, Elizabeth Bynum Sanders was a young woman who left home under false pretenses and traveled to Our Lady of Victory, a home for unwed mothers in upstate New York. Shortly after surrendering her daughter for adoption, she returned to her life in Johnston County, North Carolina. She never married and never had another child of her own.

Through writing that is both evocative and straight-forward, nuanced and poetic the author carries us into a world of reunion that is both celebration and challenge. Through story, it brings us into the complexity of the adoption world.

The Names of My Mothers is a moving and powerful memoir that tells of the profound need for connection. It is a story about identity, the hunger one feels for a sense of belonging, and the ineffable significance of blood.

Shushana Castle and Amy-Lee Goodman and co-authors of " Rethink Food: 100 + Doctors Can't Be Wrong".

Featuring over 100 doctors, 8 renowned nutritionists, and 8 elite athletes from around the world, Rethink Food empowers you with a tastefully simple solution for a healthier, stronger, and smarter you! The misinformation regarding our health is one of today’s greatest injustices. We have been led to believe that meat and dairy are the foundation of good health. This is a myth and the science can no longer be ignored.

From the Ivy Leagues of Harvard, Princeton, Yale, and Cornell to the UK, India, Germany, Italy, Brazil, Mexico, and New Zealand, ReThink Food’s experts explain how we can reverse heart disease and diabetes, eliminate food allergens and autoimmune diseases, live pain- free from arthritis, prevent Alzheimer’s, even bring cancer into remission and much more by completely removing all animal products from our plates.

In the history of disease we have never before faced such rampant levels of illnesses. We are turning to prescriptions for answers, but they do not address the root cause of diseases. The truth is our health is not completely dictated by our genes. Our meat and dairy diets are the primary cause of our alarming rise in chronic health problems and disease. Rethink Food’s doctors conclusively prove that we have the power to reverse and prevent today’s leading health problems simply by choosing a whole food plant-based diet!

Shushana worked in the financial sector for 25 years and sits on numerous environmental boards. A self proclaimed super foodie.
