  Jeff Martinovich founded MICG Investment Management, a billion-dollar firm. Twenty years later, adversity came when he faced federal indictment. Rejecting three plea deals, believing in his innocence, he went to trial. He was convicted and sentenced to 14 years in prison, losing his career, reputation, family, homes, assets, and freedom. While serving 7 years, Jeff studied federal law and twice reversed the trial court's decisions. Two U.S. District Court Judges were removed from his case, and in May 2020 he was released. When Not If distills leadership built upon Jeff's 30 years of athletic, military, and entrepreneurial experience, and wisdom grown from his struggles. Leaders face varying circumstances, but Jeff's toolkit of proven practices, behaviors and takeaways prepares anyone to survive and thrive through crisis. With disciplined storytelling, he shows that adversity doesn't have to spell the end, but a bold new beginning. This gripping, inspiring story of resilience interweaves actionable lessons. The book's value proposition: adversity is inevitable, it's not if but when. How a leader responds impacts their job, reputation, finances and liberty. When Not If readies leaders for challenges to their leadership, no matter the form adversity takes.

  Why Businesses Fail? S01E07

  The past two years have brought forth several aspects of international business. The more common elements that have unraveled include-complex supply chains, the impact of lockdowns in one region affecting production in another part of the world, and sanctions on one nation leading to shortages or crisis across multiple countries.
  Given the nature, scale and complexity of risks, does it even make sense for a business to operate beyond its national boundaries? Or, in the case of large countries, for a company to operate beyond their geographical area of origin? In India, we have multinational corporations who have thrived successfully, and we have Indian companies which have done rather well internationally.
  But what if mis-timed market entry, introducing the wrong product or service, noncompliance with Laws of the Land lead to failure of international expansion of a business? The terms "local" and "glocal" were often used nearly a decade ago, as companies began to customize products or services that are tailored to the a particular market. Automotive companies from Korea and Japan have done rather well in India using this approach. In contrast, why have US-based carmakers struggled in the Indian market?
  If conducting business across geographies was complex before, then it has become more complicated today. In the olden times, some of the risks to factor in while trading across nations were lack of communication, unpredictable weather, piracy, wars, and strife. In recent years, these risks have taken the form of increased regulations, trade blocks, restrictions in the forms of sanctions, IP theft, and forced nationalization.
  Does hypothesis is that "International Business is a good approach for a business to grow" still hold merit in today's scenario?

  Did you ever wonder why the costs of health care, housing, and college tuition keep going up? Or how your neighbor could afford that fancy electric car? Or why there are so many hard seltzers on the market? 
   
   
   
  Your first guess might not be "taxes," but they play a big role. We live in a world ruled by taxes—a taxocracy. 
   
   
   
  History is full of misguided tax policies that led to "see-through" buildings, tax-free attics, three-wheeled cars, women in children's clothing, and baked chips to go along with our hard seltzer. 
   
   
   
  Written by former Tax Foundation CEO Scott Hodge, Taxocracy: What You Don't Know About Taxes and How They Rule Your Daily Life uses amusing lessons from past tax policies gone wrong to explore how the US tax code caused serious consequences, affecting how we get our health insurance, the price of a college education, what car we buy, where we bank, and, in some cases, even when we die. 
   
   
   
  Taxocracy outlines economic principles for designing a tax code that doesn't rule our daily lives—a tax code that promotes economic growth, free-enterprise, and takes the politics out of tax policy.

  South Africa stands at the edge of a precipice. Almost thirty years after its first democratic election, poor policy and rampant corruption have left the country standing on the brink of becoming a failed state.
  In this thought-provoking book, Bronwyn Williams and Ludwig Raal interview a diverse group of public intellectuals, business leaders and political mavericks to discuss tangible ways South Africa can rescue itself from itself. Through a series of illuminating conversations, a group of independent thinkers explore the root causes of South Africa's problems and offer insightful and radical ways to solve them.
  From addressing land reform and economic development to rooting out corruption and overhauling political institutions, the conversations in this book come together as a roadmap towards a better South Africa that leaves no one behind. While the challenges facing the young democracy are immense, these experts provide hope and inspiration towards productive actions that we can take together to build a brighter future.
  For anyone interested in understanding the complex issues facing South Africa today and how they can be addressed, Rescuing Our Republic is essential reading. It is a powerful reminder that the fate of a nation is not predetermined; that individuals, citizens and corporations still have powerful agency and that when that agency is directed towards the right ideas and actions, South Africa can still realise its full potential.
