An award-winning pair of executive consultants reveal why to be successful, businesses need self-leading teams, not just good leadership.

Award-winning executive consultant Chris Mefford and retired, high-ranking US Navy SEAL trainer Kyle Buckett argue that organizations need more than just leaders. They need successful teams. Mefford and Buckett are passionate about how our leadership model has failed and spotlight a new work culture that actually works.

Free Download Kind of a Big Deal: How Anchorman Stayed Classy and Became the Most Iconic Comedy of the Twenty-First Century (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0BNQVC2HS | 2023 | 9 hours and 57 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 289 MB
Author: Saul Austerlitz
Narrator: Barrett Leddy
It’s been nearly twenty years since Ron Burgundy burst into movie fans’ lives, reminding San Diego to "stay classy" while lampooning a time gone by-although maybe not as far gone as we might think? In Kind of a Big Deal, comedy historian Saul Austerlitz tells the history of how Anchorman was developed, written, and cast, and how it launched the careers of future superstars like Will Ferrell, Steve Carell, and Paul Rudd, also setting the stage for a whole decade of comedy to come and influencing films like The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Talladega Nights, Knocked Up, Superbad, and so many more. But Kind of a Big Deal isn’t only a celebration of Anchorman-it’s also a cultural analysis of the film’s significance as a sly commentary on feminism, the media, fragile masculinity, 1970s nostalgia, and more.

Free Download Just Price in the Markets: A History (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0CFNT348R | 2023 | 9 hours and 45 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 278 MB
Author: Charles R. Geisst
Narrator: Will Tulin
The question of what constitutes a fair price has been at the center of market interactions since the time of Aristotle. Should a seller sell to the highest bidder, or is there some other standard, such as a morally defined price, to be applied? Charles R. Geisst traces the ways that philosophers, religious leaders, and economists have sought to answer that question, from antiquity through the modern era. Aristotle’s thinking on usury influenced the idea of pricing well into the Renaissance. In his view, money was barren and should not be used to beget more money.
