  This audiobook was created for those who struggle to comprehend reading or simply don’t have time to sit with a book — a lifeline for anyone walking through silence and darkness. 
  No Filter is a fearless, uncut memoir from Retired Sergeant First Class William Alfred Stephens Jr., who went from skateboards and struggle to soldier, survivor, and entrepreneur. Told with brutal honesty and spoken-word rhythm, it captures the transformation from military service to mental health advocacy — and from silence to leadership. 
  At its core, No Filter is more than a story — it’s a mission. A call to protect new authors from predatory “funnel” scams, fake marketers, and manipulative publishing traps. Through his own healing, Stevo uses 1821 Productions to expose deception, uplift truth, and empower real storytellers to find their voice. 
  This award-winning continuation of The Broken Mirror reminds listeners that real strength comes from transparency, purpose, and community. The narrator’s dynamic highs and lows don’t just tell the story — they breathe life into every crack in the mirror and every piece that’s fallen to the floor. 
  It’s not about royalties. It’s about reaching one person who needs to hear it. 
  Because even in a world full of filters — truth still cuts through.

  Niccolò Machiavelli - The Prince...

  Niccolò Machiavelli, the Renaissance political thinker and diplomat, remains one of the most influential figures in political philosophy, and his ideas continue to shape modern discussions on leadership, power, and governance. His most famous work, The Prince, has long been recognized as a manual for rulers navigating the complexities of political life, emphasizing pragmatic strategies over idealistic visions of statecraft. In the centuries since its publication, Machiavelli’s work has both captivated and provoked scholars, politicians, and leaders, and his theories remain as relevant today as when they were first written. 
  At the heart of Machiavelli's philosophy is his focus on the practical realities of political power. Unlike many political theorists who are concerned with how politics should be ideally structured, Machiavelli emphasized how politics actually works. The Prince offers rulers advice on how to secure and maintain power, often advocating methods that defy traditional moral or ethical considerations. His famous assertion that “the ends justify the means” has become synonymous with political maneuvering that prioritizes results over values, positioning him as both a realist and a controversial figure in political thought. 
  Machiavelli’s impact extends beyond just the realm of politics. His ideas on leadership, human nature, and the strategic use of power have influenced not only political theory but also military strategy, business practices, and even popular culture. His work on statecraft speaks to a deep understanding of human behavior, and his insights into the manipulation of public perception, the nature of fear and loyalty, and the balancing of power dynamics have resonated across various disciplines. Whether used to guide national leadership or inform business strategy, Machiavellian principles are often invoked when discussing tactics for navigating complex, power-driven environments.

  Amy Levy was born in London, England in 1861, the second of seven in a fairly wealthy Anglo-Jewish family. The children read and participated in secular literary activities and became firmly integrated into Victorian life. 
  Her education was at Brighton High School, Brighton, before studies at Newnham College, Cambridge; she was the first Jewish student when she arrived in 1879, but left after four terms. 
  Amy’s writing career began early; her poem ‘Ida Grey’ appeared when she was only fourteen. Her acclaimed short stories ‘Cohen of Trinity’ and ‘Wise in Their Generation,’ were published by Oscar Wilde in his magazine ‘Women's World’. 
  Her poetic writings reveal feminist concerns; ‘Xantippe and Other Verses’, from 1881 includes a poem in the voice of Socrates's wife. ‘A Minor Poet and Other Verse’ from 1884 comprises of dramatic monologues and lyric poems. 
  In 1886, Amy began a series of essays on Jewish culture and literature for the Jewish Chronicle, including ‘The Ghetto at Florence’, ‘The Jew in Fiction’, ‘Jewish Humour’ and ‘Jewish Children’. 
  That same year while travelling in Florence she met the writer Vernon Lee. It is generally assumed they fell in love and this inspired the poem ‘To Vernon Lee’. 
  Her first novel ‘Romance of a Shop’, written in 1888 is based on four sisters who experience the pleasures and hardships of running a London business during the 1880s. This was followed by Reuben Sachs (also 1888) and concerned with Jewish identity and mores in the England of her time and was somewhat controversial. 
  Her final book of poems, ‘A London Plane-Tree’ from 1889, shows the beginnings of the influence of French symbolism. 
  Despite many friendships and an active life, Amy suffered for many years with serious depressions and this, together with her growing deafness, led her to commit suicide by inhaling carbon monoxide on September 10th, 1889. She was 27.

  Stop Screaming I'm Scared Too

  ‘Stop screaming, I’m scared too!’ is not what you’d expect to see on the back of a loadmaster’s helmet in a Chinook helicopter flying over southern Afghanistan, but for Rod Henderson it sums up his 22 years of service as a soldier in the Australian Army. 
   
  During the busiest period in the Army’s history, Rod was deployed to East Timor, Papua New Guinea, Pakistan and Afghanistan. In Australia, he was involved in counter terrorism operations and disaster recovery. From an infantry paratrooper, to Chinook loadmaster and Black Hawk door gunner, Rod reveals an enthralling and unique perspective of service. 
   
  Whether it is ‘right place wrong time’ or just unlucky, he found himself in a series of life threatening and traumatic events. Each one took a toll. Accepting the physical injuries and mental health challenges from his service, Rod found healing in the hallowed halls of the Australian War Memorial. 
   
  This is not the story of a general or a Special Forces hero. It is the extraordinary memoir of a regular Australian soldier. Like so many others who have served their country with honour and distinction, the little-known stories of ordinary soldiers deserve to be told.  
   
  In Stop Screaming, I’m Scared Too, Rod reveals the depth of his soldiering experiences with humour, humility, self-reflection and honesty. 
   
  ‘This book is part Chickenhawk and part Exit Wounds … a powerful and timely contribution to a nation’s understanding of what we ask of our service men and women and the debt we owe …’ MATT ANDERSON PSM, Director, Australian War Memorial

  Ordinary Men Turning Into...

  How can ordinary people, whom we consider "normal," unexpectedly commit repulsive and criminal actions that we would never have thought them capable of? The concept of evil is one of the great themes in history, philosophy, sociology, and psychology. We have always tended to categorize the perpetrators of evil as "the others," "them," bad people, monsters, and true villains who commit atrocities that "we" could never carry out. The German philosopher Hannah Arendt challenged this clear distinction between inherently good people and inherently bad people and introduced a new, original paradigm known as the "banality of evil." 
  Arendt's concept suggests that the vast majority of German soldiers who followed Hitler's orders and committed horrific crimes were not sadistic monsters but ordinary men, not much different from us. These normal men, placed within a context of hierarchy, modern bureaucracy, and obedience to authority, were capable of killings, abuse, torture, and inhumane treatment of victims. In essence, there were monsters, yes, but they were few, far fewer than commonly believed. Starting from here, we aim to answer how ordinary people can transform into real monsters. We will trace a path that leads up to the present day.
