For more than 40 years I have been immersed in high-profile businesses in disparate industries including broadcasting, publishing, motion picture production, cable television, real estate and banking. My business life is characterized by start-ups and turn-arounds, endeavors for which I, along with many others of my era, was ill-prepared.Mistakes were made - lessons learned - lessons I never learned in school.Blunders should be expected and then milked for all the lessons they can provide. The best entrepreneurs see dumb moments as inevitable and as an exciting aspect of the wonderful game we play called business.From my mistakes, I developed principles that when properly considered and applied will protect you from foolish propensities, guide you to create the proper business relationships that make success a higher probability and prompt you to practice entrepreneurism at a lofty level.IT is my hope that this treatise will provide entrepreneurs with savvy, street smarts - and wisdom.

Coach Knight relied on this volunteer staff for a wide array of duties that deeply involved them in the inner workings of the program. These students have gone on to become successful adults with highly productive careers in business, medicine, law, education and sports.

These personal perspectives of Bob Knight and Indiana Basketball provide a unique view into one of America s greatest runs in college basketball, and how those experiences translated into success beyond basketball.

Think exercise and diet are the secrets to aging well and having a meaningful life that thrives? Think again.The new science of aging is upending many of the negative stereotypes and dogmatic beliefs about aging. New research is showing that we are not doomed by our genes, and they don’t control our biology or determine the person we can be. On the contrary, recent studies reveal that individual lifestyle, environment, attitude, and the friends we interact with play a far greater role than genetics in determining how well we age and who thrives in later life. This new research also confirms the power behind the mind-body-spirit connection and how a balance between the three draws on our deep, inner healing power and optimizes our well-being.Aging Well will help you understand the science behind these new ideas from an emotional, mental, and spiritual perspective. You can also explore how to increase the odds of having a happier, healthier, and more fulfilling life in your later years.It’s never too late to change. Whether you’ve hit the “Big Five-O,” 60, 70, 80, or beyond, you can make a U-turn in the way you see yourself and change your attitude and approach to aging well.

Let's face it: educators speak a language all their own filled with complicated words, terms and acronyms. They call it "Educationese" but to parents and caregivers, it's just Mumbo Jumbo. This book uses the principles of broadcast journalism to help educators recognize and translate Mumbo Jumbo into clear, concise, effective communications. It's designed to help them form rich relationships with parents and caregivers. Readers will learn how to use the right words, tone and body language to engage families. No More Mumbo Jumbo is not a typical education book. It is short, simple, practical and easy to read. It's no wonder. It was written by a former broadcast journalist with a passion for families and for translating Educationese.
