  The best-selling author of The Long Haul returns with the story of ditching his truck to seek his fortune … in hemp. 
   
  After decades as a long-haul trucker, Finn Murphy left the road and settled in Boulder County, Colorado. Before long he noticed that many of his neighbors were captivated by the prospect of vast riches in “the Hemp Space.” When hemp was legalized, after eighty years in federal exile, Colorado  
  became the center of a hemp growing and processing boom. Figuring he’d harvest some of that easy money, Murphy bought a thirty-six-acre farm. What could go wrong? Well, pretty much everything. … 
   
  Rocky Mountain High is the comic chronicle of a wild year as Murphy follows his Great American Dream, gradually losing his shirt but not his spirit. Pivoting away from growing hemp himself, he decides to make himself a middleman. He builds drying sheds the size of football fields. He battles with  
  freezing temperatures and even colder bankers. And he assembles an eclectic crew of workers, including the wry and vastly talented Manuel, the business savvy Pierce, and a scruffy army of “trimmigrants”—specialized farm laborers who roam the country pursuing (or not) their own American Dreams.  
  Pretty soon, Murphy is burning through his cash and skirmishing with the mercurial denizens who inhabit the Wild West of the hemp market. 
   
  Told with Murphy’s trademark wit, keen eye for character, and sharp insights intothe hardscrabble society around him, Rocky Mountain High is an inside look at the alluring world of the hemp boom and a masterful tale of one entrepreneur’s misadventures.

  Bloomin' Adventures - The...

  At nine years old, Tim Gannon was already working, delivering newspapers before sunrise to help his family make ends meet. Most people would have let that be the story. Tim let it be the foundation. 
   
  He went on to co-found Outback Steakhouse, create the Bloomin' Onion, and help build six restaurant brands across more than 1,400 locations worldwide. He became a five-time U.S. Open Polo Champion and was ranked number one in the world at fifty. He lost what he had built. And then he rebuilt it. 
   
  The teenager who dug pool ditches in Louisiana did not get here by accident. He got here by refusing, at every stage of his life, to treat a setback as a stopping point. From a French kitchen in Aspen to a New Orleans cafe with Al Copeland; from arriving in Tampa with $37 in his pocket to walking onto the polo field at Palm Beach; from the Bloomin' Onion to five U.S. Open championships, three of them in a row. 
   
  Bloomin' Adventures is not a business book dressed up as a memoir. It is the real story: raw, unfiltered, and hard-won. The kind of story that reminds you the most important ingredient in any recipe is the person willing to keep cooking. 
   
  Written with thirteen-time New York Times bestselling author Don Yaeger and narrated by Andrew Winson, Bloomin' Adventures traces a life built on grit, loyalty, and an unshakable belief that the right team can do anything. From the early days of working kitchens to the boardrooms of a publicly traded company, from the polo fields of Wellington to the pages of Sports Illustrated, this is a story about what happens when ambition meets hard work and refuses to let go. 
   
  This audiobook edition also includes over 45 minutes of exclusive bonus material with Tim Gannon, recorded in his own voice.

  Running with Grace - A Wall...

  A 2023 Wall Street Journal Bestseller 
  Nothing about Lori Van Dusen’s childhood indicated she’d become one of the nation’s top independent financial advisors. She was born prematurely on the wrong side of the tracks and with a genetic blood disorder. Her parents divorced when she and her twin brother were less than a year old. But her big, boisterous, loving Italian family, led by her beloved grandfather, a first-generation American with only an eighth-grade education, taught her that the only limitations in life are those we impose on ourselves. 
  As a young person, Lori wanted to sing on Broadway, not manage money on Wall Street. But in 1986, this quiet, serious young woman walked into the rough-and-tumble, eat-what-you-kill world of Shearson Lehman Brothers and never looked back. She fought her way to the top by thinking outside the box and working her ass off despite the jeers, insults, and sideways glances. Her secret weapon? A need to prove herself so strong she could outwork anyone. 
  But Lori’s trajectory to the top was not a straight, upward line; it was a rollercoaster. She hit the pinnacle of success only to have it ripped away in a legal battle with one of the biggest banks in the world. She was raped by a PhD candidate at Harvard, swindled by a business partner, and battled two life-altering medical diagnoses. None of that, though, would compare to having the two people she loved most in the world taken way too soon. 
  Despite the fear and pain, Lori remained hopeful and resilient. In this memorable, poignant, and inspiring memoir, she shares her lowest lows and highest highs as well as hard-earned wisdom from her bumpy personal, professional, and spiritual journey. Life was never meant to be fair, she learned, but we must keep running with grace if we are to find purpose and joy in the face of adversity.
