  Sweat Equity goes inside the multi-billion-dollar trend toward endurance sports and fitness to discover who's driving it, who's paying for it, and who's profiting. Bloomberg's Jason Kelly profiles the participants, entrepreneurs, and investors at the center of this movement, exploring this phenomenon in which a surge of people—led by the most affluent—are becoming increasingly obsessed with looking and feeling better. Through in-depth looks inside companies and events from New York Road Runners to Tough Mudder and Ironman, Kelly profiles the companies and people aiming to meet the demands of these consumers, and the traits and strategies that made them so successful. 
   
   
   
  In a modern world filled with anxiety, pressure, and competition, people are spending more time and money than ever before to soothe their minds and tone their bodies, sometimes pushing themselves to the most extreme limits. Even as obesity rates hit an all-time high, the most financially successful among us are collectively spending billions each year on apparel, gear, and entry fees. Sweat Equity charts the rise of the movement, through the eyes of competitors and the companies that serve them. Through conversations with businesspeople, many driven by their own fitness obsessions, and first-hand accounts of the sports themselves, Kelly delves into how the movement is taking shape.

  "Political Economy" is a collection of essays by the French economist and writer Frederic Bastiat. The book was first published in 1850 and contains some of Bastiat's most famous essays, including "The Law" and "What Is Seen and What Is Not Seen." 
  In "Political Economy," Bastiat argues for free-market economics and limited government intervention in the economy. He critiques protectionist policies and argues that free trade leads to greater economic growth and prosperity. He also discusses the role of government in providing public goods and services, such as infrastructure and education. 
  One of Bastiat's most famous essays, "The Law," argues that the purpose of the law is to protect individual rights and that any government action that goes beyond this is a violation of those rights. He also discusses the concept of "legal plunder," which occurs when the government takes from some individuals to give to others, and argues that this is unjust and counterproductive. 
  Overall, "Political Economy" is a seminal work in the field of economics and a classic of classical liberal thought. It continues to be studied and debated today for its insights into free-market economics and the role of government in the economy.

  Are you tired of hearing people constantly complain and moan about a world problem, but offer you no solutions as to what you can do to help resolve this issue? 
  This might be from close friends or family constantly taking a negative view on this particular issue, or even from hearing about the problem on the news, but not hearing any potential solutions. 
  Can you tell what problem I am talking about yet? Of course, I am talking about manufactured scarcity. 
  Anyone who vaguely follows this topic will know that it is consistently increasing in the US, but many don’t know that it is also increasing across most other countries. 
  So, what can you and I do to help improve the situation? 
  The Power to Stop Any Illusion of Problems will help offer an insight into how these situations occur, in simple and understandable terms, so that you don’t get confused or demotivated by too much technical jargon. 
  It will then also show you ways that positive change can be made, rather than just telling you about all the negative impacts of scarcity and making you feel as though all hope is lost. 
  You will be amazed at the content included in this book, and the detail that is provided for you to digest. But what really sets this book apart from its competitors is that the information is so well presented and easy to understand.

  Most business books promise shortcuts to success. This one delivers something better: a battle-tested blueprint for scaling, selling, and surviving as an entrepreneur & business leader. 
  In Failing My Way to Success, Phillip Cantrell takes you inside four decades of founding and leading various businesses, some of which grew to hundreds of millions in annual revenue. Along the way, he shares hard-won lessons from failure, the mindset of resilience, and the strategic frameworks that turn mistakes into momentum. Inside you’ll discover: 
  •	How an average student became a successful entrepreneur, founding or controlling 10 separate businesses. Many built from scratch. 
  •	A mergers & acquisitions roadmap: from preparing clean P&Ls and balance sheets for due diligence, to negotiating letter of intent (LOI) terms, to navigating earn-out periods and post-sale integration. 
  •	Real-world real estate business strategies and scaling a brokerage with discipline. 
  •	Why knowing your cash position daily and running on a “zero accounts receivables” model can protect your business from collapse. 
  •	The often-overlooked realities of life after selling a business—how founders stay engaged during earn-outs, protect their legacy, and rediscover purpose once the deal is done. 
  •	The four cornerstones of sustainable leadership: delegation, observation, working smart, and compassion. 
  This is not theory. It’s the inside story of the decisions, negotiations, and systems that separate businesses that burn out from those that endure—and thrive. 
  Whether you’re scaling a company, preparing to sell one you've built, or simply learning how to turn setbacks into stepping stones, Failing My Way to Success gives you a clear-eyed, practical path forward.
