  Newport Gardner's Anthem explores the remarkable life of Occramer Marycoo, an enslaved African who went on to become one of early America's most important Black leaders. In the mid-eighteenth century, Marycoo was taken from West Africa to Newport, Rhode Island, where he was forced into racial bondage and given a name that symbolized the power that his new city and new enslaver held over him: Newport Gardner. In this powerful book, Edward E. Andrews pieces together newspaper articles, church records, letters, and Gardner's own writings to tell the story of his life. 
  After acquiring his freedom via a winning lottery ticket in 1791, Gardner became a kind of Founding Father for Newport's free Black community. He became a popular educator to young Black Newporters, and emerged as a key religious figure, serving as a long-standing pillar of Newport's First Congregational Church and later founding an independent Black church in the 1820s. His final act was leading a group of about three dozen Black New Englanders to Liberia, in hopes that a new start in Africa would be better than the discrimination they faced in America. 
  A richly textured account, Newport Gardner's Anthem tells the story of a forgotten Black leader while exploring the new, but tragically limited, opportunities for formerly enslaved people in the post-Revolutionary world.

  Warren Buffett is perhaps the most accomplished investor of all time. The CEO and chair of Berkshire Hathaway has earned admiration for not only his financial feats but also the philosophy behind them. Todd A. Finkle provides striking new insights into Buffett's career through the lens of entrepreneurship.

  Finkle—a Buffett family friend—shares his perspective on Buffett's early life and business ventures. The book traces the entrepreneurial paths that shaped Buffett's career, from selling gum door-to-door during childhood to forming Berkshire Hathaway and developing it into a global conglomerate through the imaginative deployment of financial instruments and creative deal making. Finkle considers Buffett's investment methodology, management strategy, and personal philosophy on building a rewarding life in terms of entrepreneurship. He also zeroes in on Buffett's longtime business partner, Charlie Munger, and his contributions to Berkshire's success. Finkle draws key lessons from Buffett's mistakes as well as his successes, using these failures to explore the ways behavioral biases can affect investors and how to overcome them.

  Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media and narrated by Matthew Schmitz. 
  Joseph Campbell was more than a scholar—he was a storyteller of the human soul, a guide through the myths that shape our lives, and a seeker of the eternal truths hidden within every culture. His words resonate not just as academic insight, but as living wisdom, illuminating the path for those who dare to follow their bliss. 
  This audiobook is not merely a collection of quotes; it is an invitation—to embark on the Hero’s Journey, to see the patterns that unite all myths, and to recognize the divine adventure unfolding within your own life. Campbell’s insights draw from the ancient and the modern, the East and the West, weaving a tapestry of meaning that transcends time and place. 
  Through his words, we discover that mythology is not a relic of the past, but a mirror reflecting our deepest desires, fears, and aspirations. We are reminded that every struggle, every trial, and every transformation is part of a universal story—one that we are all living. 
  Let these words be a guide. Whether you are standing at the threshold of your own adventure, searching for deeper meaning, or simply seeking inspiration, Campbell’s voice echoes through time to remind us: 
  "Follow your bliss, and doors will open where there were only walls." 
  Now, let the journey begin. 
  This audiobook includes an "ambient version" set to meditative music for your listening pleasure.

  Golda Meir began her career as a grassroots activist whose tireless efforts helped ensure the creation of a Jewish homeland. As a diplomat and negotiator, she played a pivotal role in securing the recognition and funding that made the founding of Israel possible in 1948. She would go on to serve as the new nation’s foreign minister and, ultimately, as its prime minister—one of the first women in the world to hold such an office. 
  Her dedication to the cause came at a great personal cost, however, since her own family was often neglected by her absence from their lives. Her children would long speak of how lonely they were without their mother. Yet in light of all she had achieved, Golda Meir readily declared that she would do it all again if she had to. Because for her, there were some things that were bigger than herself—bigger even than her own family. She had latched onto a goal she wished to see to fruition, and she wasn't going to let anything stop her. This is the life and the long-lasting legacy of Golda Meir.
