Summary

Global supply chains, the intricate networks that deliver goods worldwide, face unprecedented pressures, a theme explored in "Supply Chain Strain". The book investigates how events like pandemics and geopolitical tensions expose vulnerabilities in these systems, originally optimized for efficiency, not necessarily for resilience. For example, the Suez Canal blockage highlighted how a single point of failure can disrupt global trade, costing billions in lost revenue. The book argues for a shift towards prioritizing robustness to ensure economic stability and national security. 

 
"Supply Chain Strain" presents a comprehensive analysis, starting with the evolution of supply chain management and then dissecting major disruptive events and their impacts. It delves into strategies for building resilience, such as diversifying sourcing and adopting technologies like blockchain, and examines the role of government policies. The book uses quantitative modeling and case studies to assess disruption scenarios and evaluate resilience strategies. 

 
Ultimately, this work offers insights for businesses and policymakers alike, helping them navigate the trade-offs between efficiency and resilience in an increasingly uncertain global environment. By providing a framework for informed decision-making, "Supply Chain Strain" equips readers with the knowledge to fortify supply chains against future shocks.

    I Was Famous on the Internet

    You are about to experience my journey of being famous on the Internet. I reached the top—millions of followers, billions of views, six-figure months, and fans in every country. From the outside, it looked like everything people chase. Inside, it felt like a prison I built. Every click and dollar cost my peace, my family, and my sanity. In I Was Famous on the Internet, I take you behind the scenes of online fame—not the filtered dream, but the raw truth of what it does to your mind and soul. I went from a broke ex-police officer to a top Udemy instructor earning millions, became an early crypto YouTuber and a Facebook Gaming partner, and burned out until I deleted everything. You will see how platforms hook creators and audiences, how algorithms reward addiction and punish authenticity, and how chasing numbers never fills the emptiness inside. You will see the trap that turns dreamers into slaves to attention, and the wake-up call that made me walk away. I reveal how screens reshaped my family, how I justified my own addiction as work, and what it felt like to realize I was no different from my kids. You will read about wild highs (a $90,000 month) and brutal lows (burnout, bankruptcy, public humiliation), and how each crash became a new beginning until I finally saw through the illusion. This book is my confession, my warning, and my gift. If you dream of going viral, being a creator, or quitting your job to chase freedom online, I want you to know what it is really like. If you spend hours scrolling, I want you to see what you are giving up. By the end, you will understand why I deleted the channels, the followers, and the income—and why that was the best decision of my life. I found peace not by becoming more successful online, but by becoming human again. Are you ready to see what Internet fame really feels like—the truth behind the dream, the cost of the clicks, and the freedom that waits when you finally log off?
