deComplify - How Simplicity...

Gary S. Michel

Gary S. Michel sees no reason to overcomplicate anything, and in his brief but compelling book, deComplify, he outlines his refreshing take on the fundamentals, emphasizing what can be done to create a better business. It empowers leaders to take concrete steps towards building a great company. Beyond the tools and practical tips, readers will take away a renewed sense of purpose and vision, for their organization and themselves, which will define the difference they can make. A distracting and complifying mindset come at a huge cost, in both financial and emotional terms. Likewise, when complification builds in the workplace, it becomes an ever-increasing barrier to transforming a business into a great company. Decomplifying is more than the stripping away of excess. Real decomplifying streamlines processes for a purpose. That purpose is to create a great company. Read along to get away from focusing on process, and closer to focusing on what matters, like customers, your team, and more.

Truth - The Press the President...

Mary Mapes

Previously published as Truth and Duty: The Press, the President, and the Privilege of Power.A riveting play-by-play of a reporter getting and defending a story that recalls All the President's Men, Truth puts listeners in the center of the 60 Minutes II story on George W. Bush's shirking of his National Guard duty. The firestorm that followed that broadcast — a conflagration that was carefully sparked by the right and fanned by bloggers — trashed Mapes' well-respected 25-year producing career, caused newsman Dan Rather to resign from his anchor chair early, and led to an unprecedented "internal inquiry" into the story...chaired by former Reagan attorney general Richard Thornburgh.Truth examines Bush's political roots as governor of Texas, delves into what is known about his National Guard duty — or lack of service — and sheds light on the solidity of the documents that backed up the National Guard story, even including images of the actual documents in an appendix to the book. It is peopled with a colorful cast of characters — from Karl Rove to Sumner Redstone — and moves from small-town Texas to Black Rock — CBS corporate headquarters — in New York City. Truth connects the dots between a corporation under fire from the federal government and the decision about what kinds of stories a news network may cover. It draws a line from reporting in the trenches to the gutting of the great American tradition of an independent media and asks whether it's possible to break important stories on a powerful sitting president.A Macmillan Audio production.

Spotify Algorithms: Learn How To...

Andrew Southworth, Genera Studios

Spotify’s algorithm is kind of a black box. Your song releases, you do some marketing and then it gets thrown onto some algorithmic playlists, sometimes. To most artists it may as well be completely random, but behind the scenes there is of course some very particular code executing purposefully written algorithms. Unfortunately we have no idea what this algorithm actually is. 
This book represents my entire understanding of how the Spotify algorithm works and how i've been able to get almost every song i've released in the past 3 years onto Discovery Weekly. Since I don't have any insider knowledge this understanding is based on experience, trial and error, research and a little bit of science. 
Andrew Southworth is a music artist with over 10 million streams on his own music. Through his YouTube channel and company Genera Studios he has helped other artists generate over 100 million streams on their music.
