  Sometimes the only way to be right is to get comfortable with being wrong. 
  Most startup advice is dangerously misguided. The mythology of the lone genius founder, the obsession with capital raising and the theatre of startup ecosystems lead countless ventures astray. 
  Drawing on two decades at the heart of New Zealand's most successful technology companies – Trade Me, Xero, Vend and Timely – Rowan Simpson unravels the messy reality behind familiar glossy success stories. With raw honesty and sharp analysis, he challenges conventional wisdom by sharing compelling firsthand lessons about focused execution, team building and genuine ecosystem growth. 
  This myth-busting guide is essential listening for founders, investors and policymakers alike. Simpson demonstrates that embracing uncertainty, recognising patterns and learning quickly from mistakes are not just steps on the path to success – they are the path itself.

  "There’s wisdom in these stories that could only come from someone who has seen startups from every angle – founder, employee, investor and advisor." – Ana Wight, former CEO of Vend 
  "A remarkably honest and enjoyable tale of how to take risks – and why it’s worth the effort." – Sir Bill English, former Prime Minister of New Zealand 
  "Rowan is one of the smartest thinkers I have met on the unique potential Kiwi founders have to create globally significant businesses." – Tim Brown, co-founder of Allbirds 
  "Exactly the sort of typical boring business-y drivel we’ve come to expect from you over the years, Dad." – Alice Simpson

  From non-verbal to radio announcer...Good Morning Blake: Growing Up Autistic and Being Okay lays bare - from cradle to adulthood – the myriad steps Blake has taken to find his voice and rightful place in society. Eighty-five percent of Blake's autistic peers do not have meaningful employment, so what facilitators occurred in his life to help him break from this dismal statistic? While the struggles cannot be ignored, the real fight is in shifting society to walk the talk and make schools, workplaces and communities more inclusive. Echolalia, dysfluency, sensory disintegration, anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder and self-stimulatory behaviours are all touched upon in Blake's memoir. While it is one story by one autistic person, Blake's story offers strategies and tips for making our world kinder, more inclusive and a safer place for those who march to the beat of a different drum. What makes this book unique? Raw, uninhibited perspectives from fifty of Blake's peers, family members, friends, teachers and work colleagues who demonstrate it takes a village to raise a child. Blake's positive attitude will make you feel good even though he doesn't sugar coat his struggles. As a reader you will laugh, cry and cheer him on as he strives in his career and succeeds to live as an independent adult. 
  AUTHOR BIO 
  Many say an autistic person could never work in journalism because it's a social and fast-paced field – skills that autistics struggle with. Blake "Crash" Priddle has proven them wrong. He is a news guy and radio personality whose broadcasts have been heard daily across northern Manitoba and Nova Scotia, Canada. When Blake's not busy working his spare time is filled with hunting, fishing, hiking, and when it's minus 40C writing novellas, painting landscape scenes or watching funny shows. https://www.blakecrashpriddle.com/

  Today, Tipperary-born priest Patrick Ryan cuts a modest but strong figure, to the layperson. A man of God who has been entrusted with the confessions of hundreds of earnest parishioners. But in fact his story is dark, dramatic, and pivotal to Irish history, on both sides of the border. 
   
  In The Padre, award-winning investigative journalist Jennifer O’Leary exposes the paramilitary exploits of notorious former Catholic priest and active IRA supporter Patrick Ryan – exposing details which have, outside of his very guarded circles, been unknown until now. 
   
  Drawing on highly sensitive information, divulged by Ryan during exclusive secret meetings with the author, The Padre lifts the lid on the true extent of the priest’s involvement with the IRA: from being the link between the organisation and the Gaddafi regime, to Ryan’s connection to the failed assassination attempt on Margaret Thatcher and her cabinet. 
   
  The Padre tells the truly remarkably story of this man of the cloth, and his lifelong struggle with what he, in his heart, believes to be right and wrong.

  Power was not enough for Francisco Franco — he needed a legend. 
   In The Myth of the Caudillo, Davis Truman unveils the untold story of how Spain’s dictator didn’t just win a civil war — he reinvented the past to secure his future. Through propaganda, censorship, and the rewriting of national memory, Franco transformed himself from a ruthless general into “El Caudillo,” the savior Spain supposedly needed. 
  Blending rigorous scholarship with gripping narrative, this groundbreaking work exposes how Franco’s regime weaponized history itself — turning defeat into destiny, and dictatorship into divine mandate. From the manipulation of textbooks to the orchestration of monuments and myths, The Myth of the Caudillo reveals the deliberate creation of a false Spain—one that still haunts the nation today. 
  Drawing on newly uncovered archives and testimonies suppressed for decades, Davis Truman dismantles the story Franco told the world—and the one Spain was forced to believe. 
  A masterful blend of history, politics, and psychology, The Myth of the Caudillo is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand how power sustains itself — not just through fear, but through the stories we choose to remember.
