This sense of financial freedom is becoming a reality for many people in America, and it can also become a reality for you. 
In this book, I attempt to eliminate every excuse you may have that prevents you from becoming the real estate investor or entrepreneur of your dreams. I'm helping you remove any excuse from lack of money and resources, lack of a business plan, lack of motivation, lack of understanding, lack of network, lack of support system, or any other reason.

    This audiobook is about how to get value from meetings. Period. 
Meetings, any kind of meeting, represent opportunity. And where there is opportunity, value is available to be unlocked. 
When you view meetings as, ahem, a “necessary evil”, you would neither see nor exploit the hidden opportunities. There is no debate: you would be involved in very many meetings whether you like it or not! You might as well roll up your sleeves and optimise your involvement. 
This audiobook would give you implementable strategies for excelling at meetings. 
This audiobook has no fluff and fillers. The book goes straight to the point. The 70 personal strategies have been boiled down to convey the point as precisely as possible. I recognise that time is a scarce resource and I want to optimise your reading time. 
Remember this, “Even good meetings can be better!”

“Disrupted” plunges you into the heart of a tech startup’s cultural whirlwind, where audacious growth rituals collide with the hard realities of code, customers, and cash flow. You’ll join a veteran journalist-turned-insider as he navigates neon-lit open offices, “fail fast” hackathons, and boardroom showdowns over valuation and acquisition. Through vivid vignettes—from bug-riddled launches to candid “no-BS” lunches—the narrative reveals how high-velocity rituals can ignite creativity yet also mask critical dysfunction. Dynamic and motivational, this audiobook equips productivity-focused professionals with a pragmatic playbook: balance spectacle with substance, align incentives across teams, ritualize true reflection over performative wellness, and embed disciplined feedback loops that turn every misstep into forward momentum. If you’re ready to harness disruption as a force for sustainable innovation, “Disrupted” will show you how to transform cultural chaos into lasting competitive advantage.
