Summary

In the waning years of Latin America's longest and bloodiest civil war, the rise of an unlikely duo is transforming Colombia: Christianity and access to credit. In her exciting new book, Rebecca C. Bartel details how surging evangelical conversions and widespread access to credit cards, microfinance programs, and mortgages are changing how millions of Colombians envision a more prosperous future. Yet programs of financialization propel new modes of violence. As prosperity becomes conflated with peace, and debt with devotion, survival only becomes possible through credit and its accompanying forms of indebtedness. A new future is on the horizon, but it will come at a price.

    In the groundbreaking book "The Wild Wild West," author Tudamoon embarks on a daring journey, drawing striking parallels between the untamed era of the American Wild West and the uncharted territories of today's Web3 world. This riveting narrative offers a unique perspective on the digital revolution, blending history, technology, and true-life adventures. 
    As pioneers once conquered the vast, lawless expanses of the American frontier, modern explorers now navigate the complex and rapidly evolving landscape of Web3. Tudamoon masterfully compares iconic Wild West figures with their Web3 counterparts, revealing the intricate power dynamics that oscillate between decentralization and centralization. 
    At the core of the book is the inspiring story of BlockBaron, a protagonist whose real-life experiences in pioneering Web3 are both educational and thrilling. His story offers a window into the life of a web3 pioneer in this new digital frontier, making the abstract concepts of Web3 tangible and relatable. Some of the topics include Bitcoin, cryptocurrencies, DAOs, Dapps, NFTs, Metaverses and more. 
    This book offers valuable reflections and key takeaways for readers, regardless of their technical background. Tudamoon's insights on the future interplay of decentralization and centralization provide a thought-provoking perspective, inviting readers to ponder the potential impact of these technologies and concepts on their lives.

    Leading isn't just something you do; leadership is a lifestyle.In today's global economy, effective leadership requires engaging in diverse interactions, meaning there is no one, predefined way to lead. Instead, leaders today must be culturally agile, and they must live that awareness and adaptability each and every day.  There Is No Box is a practical guide for leaders who recognize how critical it is to draw outside the lines of typical guidance in order to rethink leadership development and gain competencies that make them more inclusive, culturally aware, and empowered to facilitate collaboration.  Authors Marisa Cleveland and Simon Cleveland draw on their combined forty years of experience in corporate, government, and higher education leadership to answer a question they've been getting for over two decades: how do lauded leaders live? Through anecdotes and interviews paired with actionable takeaways, the book investigates where leaders start, how they become boxed in upon entering the workforce, and finally how they can break through those boundaries to become a culturally agile leader and a meaningful contributor to our global society.
