    Several years ago as a practicing physician, I was struck by a feeling that I could more broadly impact the world around me. This led me to study, question, discover, and eventually enter the world of investing and entrepreneurship. I co-founded a healthcare service company that is now in multiple states, and also co-founded a venture capital firm that I run full time. These endeavors have since employed thousands, yielded millions in revenues and returns, and influenced people to realize their full potential. 
    Along the way, I shared my journey with fellow physicians and investors. Often they would comment on how encouraging it was to know they could think bigger, or differently, or otherwise outside the box. This was the inspiration for Physician Underdog, written with the hope to inspire others, and hopefully lead a few people to think on a broader scale. 
    While I am still very much a medical professional, my personal mission now is to share innovative ways for other physicians to fulfill their goals, satisfy their ambitions, and be of service. I hope this information inspires you to explore endless possibilities in the spirit of making the world a much more positive place. 
    *This is for you if you are: 
    A physician entrepreneur 
    A leader who wants to create an impact within your organization 
    An investor who wants to make money while driving purpose 
    A burned-out physician who wants help 
    A burned-out professional who wants help 
    Someone who wants to know why physicians and health care providers are burning out 
    Someone who feels you have a ceiling over your career 
    Someone who wants to excel beyond your perceived potential 
    Someone who thinks being a physician has only one designated pathway 
    Are dedicating your career to caring for others, but also need to find ways take care of yourself

    Would you walk away from a game of checkers after being jumped one time? Of course not. You still have eighteen pieces left and plenty of opportunities to win. But as adults we lose sight of the life’s entire board. Once we mess up, we think the game is over. Winning the Moment is a guide to living the life you want and becoming the person you want to be.  In engaging, can’t-put-it-down storytelling, Cody Adent shows how much life has to offer when you change your mindset and focus. As a species, we have preconditioned believes about all facets of life that we never take the time to question. Everyone is in different spectrums of their lives and we don't take enough time to define for ourselves what a win looks like; instead, we take the easy way and let other people define it for us. Therein lies the problem — expectation is the root of disappointment. Life is a gift of many successes but much of our day-to-day lives is a subconscious reflection of our views on winning and losing. Unfortunately, some people develop an unhealthy “win at any cost” relationship with winning. Eternally optimistic and infectiously stubborn, Cody Adent shares lessons from a meteoric career trajectory to inspire motivation and tools to make a pivot in life that brings you closer to living the life you desire.  There are ten times during the day when all of us can make better decisions and appreciate things, you forget how good it feels to be the person you want to be. In Winning the Moment, we learn that winning the moment is about creating a path to enjoy a fulfilling life. Too many people spend too much time searching for what they “should” be doing, versus what they “want” to do. You own it. Make it what you want. Cody isn’t going to tell you what they are. You know the best decisions at the best times. When you don’t take the time to appreciate things, you forget how good it feels to be the person you want to be. In  Winning the Moment, we learn that winning the moment is about creating a path to enjoy a fulfilling life. Too many people spend too much time searching for what they “should” be doing, versus what they “want” to do. You own it. Make it what you want.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    Ever wonder why the person with half your skills just got promoted while you're still explaining what you "actually do"? 
    You're not imagining it. And it's not your talent that's holding you back. 
    You're ridiculously talented, actually. But when recruiters ask "So, what do you do?" you fumble through an awkward explanation that makes you sound unfocused. Your resume reads like a career identity crisis. And specialists with narrower skill sets keep getting chosen over you. 
    Here's the brutal truth: Your versatility isn't the problem. Your inability to articulate it is. 
    While you're apologizing for your "non-traditional path," competitors with strategic skill stacks are commanding premium salaries, getting recruited for roles that don't exist yet, and building careers that can't be replicated or automated. 
    The career ladder is dead. And everyone clinging to it is getting left behind. 
    Companies no longer need specialists who excel in a single area—they're outsourcing that to AI and overseas talent. They need multipliers: professionals who bridge technical and business, translate data into decisions, and create value at intersections where specialists can't reach. 
    That analyst who learned to present? Just became a strategic advisor commanding 40% more salary. That developer with business acumen? Now a technical leader investors fight to fund. That marketer who codes? Built a consultancy agencies can't compete with. 
    Without a strategic skill stack framework, you're hemorrhaging opportunities daily. Your LinkedIn confuses algorithms. Your interviews undersell your value. Your salary negotiations fail because you can't quantify your unique worth. You watch linear careers advance while yours feels perpetually "between things." 
    Skill Stack Success stops the bleeding and starts the winning. 
    This book doesn't just explain career strategy—it rewires how you process professional information and make career decisions.

    The book that has been waiting to be written – how Ireland’s housing policy has locked an entire generation out of the housing market and what we should do about it. 
    Millennials are the first generation in Ireland to be worse off than their parents. Trapped in a game of rental roulette, stuck living at home as adults, and many on the brink of homelessness, the Irish housing crisis has defined the lives of an entire generation – and it is set to continue. 
    With housing costs in Ireland the highest in the EU, the property ladder has been kicked from under thousands. So how did we get here … and how do we break the cycle? 
    In Gaffs, housing expert Rory Hearne urges us to think about the people behind the statistics, and shows us that there is a way towards a future where everyone has access to a home. 
    In Gaffs, Rory Hearne, a renowned expert in sociology and economics, delves into the heart of the Irish housing crisis, exposing the economic disparity and social classes struggle. He presents a compelling argument, backed by top-notch research, about the dire need for a shift in public policy.
