Synopsis

Kai Jaina: A World Between is the captivating memoir of Joe Banivanua Mar, whose life journey spans a vibrant tapestry of cultures, continents, and defining moments. Born in a humble village in Fiji, Joe's story begins with the innocence of childhood curiosity, evolves through the trials of education and the challenges of finding his identity, and reaches into the corridors of corporate power and global diplomacy.
The memoir traces his path from an island boyhood marked by barefoot adventures and village traditions, through academic triumphs and a pioneering corporate career. Along the way, Joe grapples with the complexities of belonging, balancing the rich heritage of his Fijian and Chinese ancestry while navigating the political turmoil of his homeland during Fiji's coups. Through resilience, humour, and profound introspection, he reveals how these experiences shaped his values, choices, and unwavering commitment to family and community.
Peppered with anecdotes that blend humour, poignancy, and insight, Kai Jaina is both deeply personal and universally relatable. It is a story of transformation, where adversity becomes a springboard for growth, and identity is not confined by borders but enriched by them.
Written with the warmth and charm of a fireside conversation, this memoir offers readers an inspiring tale of courage, reinvention, and the triumph of the human spirit. Whether reflecting on a cricket match in a remote village, navigating corporate boardrooms, or witnessing history unfold, Joe invites readers to walk beside him through a life that bridges worlds-always guided by purpose and heart.

    The Army on the March - While encamping the army and observing signs of the enemy, pass quickly over mountains, and keep in the neighborhood of valleys. All armies prefer high ground to low and sunny places to dark."If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle." ― Sun Tzu, The Art of WarSun Tzu wrote this classic book twenty-five hundred years ago, on a military strategy based on Chinese warfare and military thought.  It is composed of 13 chapters. Each one is devoted to an aspect of warfare and how it applies to military strategy and tactics. Since that time, these teachings have adapted for use in politics, business, and everyday life and stands immensely relatable in our contemporary world.

    Fiat Food - Why Inflation...

    THE REAL COST OF INFLATION ON A COUNTRY can be best seen not through government-sanctioned data points circulated throughout the corporate sponsored media, but in the financial, physical, and mental health of its citizenry. Officials point to the increase of paper wealth as evidence that their stewardship in both the economy and nutrition has led to a rise in the quality of life. In reality, the past fifty years has seen the true standard of living for most Americans plummet. Debasement of the currency has left the American people poorer, and through the resulting degradation of the nutrients of their food supply, sicker than at any time in recent history. What follows is an examination of one of the most compelling “who done-its” in American history. In Fiat Food, Lysiak unravels a plot by the largest institutions of American power and the outsized ramifications it has had on modern civilization. 
    “IN TERMS OF THE LIVES CUT SHORT, it would be no exaggeration to say that 20th century nutrition science and government food policies are the biggest crime in history, putting genocides and man-made famines to shame. Matthew Lysiak provides a gripping forensic investigation into the barely believable sequence of events, spanning over a century, which led to the complete overhaul of the modern diet and the current obesity, diabetes, and autoimmune disease epidemic ravaging our species.”—SAIFEDEAN AMMOUS Internationally Best-selling Economist and Author 
    “WHAT IF THE FOOD YOU ATE MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE to think clearly about the food you were eating—or for that matter, anything else? Could the western diet function as a tool of mass social control? Hell yes, as this remarkable book explains with horrifying clarity.”—TUCKER CARLSON Author, Journalist, and Host of Tucker on X

    The future of the American economy is hiding in an unlikely place: the manufacturing sector While Silicon Valley titans dominate headlines, many of the fastest-growing, most profitable companies in the United States are firms you’ve likely never heard of, such as HEICO, Trex, and Casella. These booming companies belong to a burgeoning sector—industrial tech—that offers surprising hope to workers, consumers, and investors alike.  Their role: to make a range of products—aerospace parts, for example, or recycled plastic lumber—that quietly form the backbone of America’s biggest industries. In an age of instability, industrial tech is a cornerstone of our economic future. In this book, McKinsey veterans Asutosh Padhi, Gaurav Batra, and Nick Santhanam reveal the “titanium economy,” a modern, reinvented industrial sector complete with high-paying, domestic jobs;, soaring stock prices;, and critical infrastructure. They dispel the myth that the best of American manufacturing is behind us and illuminate an opportunity for a brighter future—if we can seize it.

    Jack is a stressed out CEO of a once-great business, Stackflow. But after a pandemic, supply chain chaos, labor market fluctuations, and his own failed strategic initiatives, Jack is struggling to keep his head above water - and the company's. Like nearly every other CEO in history, Jack is working endless hours away from his family, who is quickly losing patience. During those long days, he's cobbling together ideas and goals - and still not seeing meaningful results. 
    But if Jack can't figure out how to make the company profitable again, Stackflow's days are limited. 
    Or at least, Jack's days are limited as CEO. 
    It's in the midst of this struggle that Jack has a chance encounter that will change the course of his life and business. Charlie Joseph is a strategic consultant who's led transformations at businesses similar to Stackflow. It's this coincidental meeting that will help Jack reimagine everything he's been doing as a leader, design a strategy for success that actually works, navigate through the storms of high-level business in the 2020s, and finally right the ship. 
    Jack's journey is one that any CEO can learn from. And Charlie's approach to strategy has the power to transform any business that has struggled with stale strategic retreats, failed initiatives, and stalled-out growth. That is to say, nearly all of them.
