  The Shocking Truth about...

  Behind the polished image of multinational corporations lies an intricate web of influence that often escapes public scrutiny. These entities, driven by profit motives, exert significant control over political, economic, and social systems. Their ability to shape legislation, influence policy decisions, and dictate the trajectory of societal norms is unparalleled, raising critical questions about the balance of power in modern democracies. 
  One of the most potent tools corporations wield is lobbying. What began as a mechanism to convey industry perspectives to lawmakers has evolved into a powerful industry in itself. Corporations spend billions annually to hire lobbying firms, fund political campaigns, and ensure their interests are prioritized in policymaking. This relationship often leads to regulatory environments that favor corporate profits over public welfare, as evidenced by weakened labor protections, diluted environmental standards, and tax policies designed to benefit the wealthiest. 
  In addition to lobbying, corporations exert influence through their economic might. With massive revenues that surpass the GDP of some nations, they can dictate terms to governments and international organizations. This financial clout allows them to negotiate favorable trade agreements, secure tax incentives, and sidestep accountability for unethical practices. Governments, often reliant on corporate investment to sustain their economies, find themselves constrained in challenging this power dynamic.

  World’s Deadliest Destinations -...

  The world is full of places that, for various reasons, have earned a reputation as deadly destinations. From war zones to natural disasters, some locations are marked by extreme danger, making them almost inhospitable for those who venture too close. This chapter aims to explore the factors that contribute to these perilous places, offering a broader understanding of what makes a destination deadly. 
    
  At the core of every dangerous place is a unique combination of environmental, political, and social factors that amplify the risks for those who live or travel there. Conflict zones, for instance, are often marked by violence, political instability, and lawlessness, creating environments where human life is under constant threat. In these regions, wars, civil unrest, and insurgent groups create an atmosphere of chaos where survival can be a daily struggle. 
    
  Natural disasters also play a significant role in shaping the deadliest destinations. Earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions are just a few of the catastrophic events that turn once-thriving areas into desolate wastelands. These natural phenomena strike without warning, leaving little time for escape and often causing widespread devastation. 
    
  But the threats are not always as immediate or obvious as bombs or floods. Some of the deadliest destinations are places where hidden dangers lurk beneath the surface. Toxic landscapes, such as the irradiated zones of Chernobyl, remain dangerous long after the initial disaster has passed. Similarly, remote wilderness areas, such as the jungles of the Amazon or the frozen tundra of Antarctica, may seem tranquil on the surface, but they can be life-threatening to those who are ill-prepared for the extreme conditions.

  In BRANDALISM, the follow-up to his bestselling, award-winning debut book The Best Dick, Mike Sharman delves into the (start)ups and downs associated with brand building and the need for business to dismantle, and vandalise its perceived, public-facing, persona.
  The future of PR and influence, when (or if) to launch a new business as opposed to a division, raising capital, the impact of presentations, startup school fees, and emphasis on a manifesto rather than purpose, are the aspects Mike obsesses over in this insightful read, wrapped in his trademark, comedic, copy.
  Mike Sharman, the co-founder of the creative, digital agency Retroviral that has made more brands 'go viral', globally, than any other agency in Africa, uses his unique storytelling proposition to provide insight into 12 years of building a business from scratch, while elevating his clients to emotional, (commercial) cult status.
  "Mike Sharman delivers the well needed wake-up call that your brand needs (and your customers deserve)." – Richard Mulholland
