Summary
This is a collection of intimate and sometimes shocking conversations about motivation with 12 Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belts. The end result is 12 fascinating and unexpected stories about overcoming adversity and achieving success in life and Jiu-Jitsu. Jiu-Jitsu has often been used as a metaphor of life, but you can replace Jiu-Jitsu with any sport, business or ambitious pursuit - the lessons are universal. What drives ambitious people is often shaped by our subconscious mind. We are not always aware of the influences driving our behavior, but you will discover underlying themes which reveal answers to the following questions: What drives highly successful people? Are they born ambitious or is it learned? What is common among extremely motivated people? What lessons have they learned during their journey? Were the sacrifices worth the rewards?

Success
Summary
This book is a collection of intimate and sometimes shocking conversations about success. Each story will inspire, enlighten, and entertain you. In Success, not only did I seek to discover what motivates high achievers, but I also dug for the philosophies that lead to success. During these interviews, I asked uncomfortable questions that led to answers that often surprised even the athletes being interviewed, because it is the subconscious mind that drives most ambitious people to achieve. Each athlete came from a diverse background, but there were common themes that every reader can embrace and model in their own lives. A key takeaway was how each fighter defined success - often their answers contradicted societal norms. Jiu-Jitsu has often been used as a metaphor for life, but in these stories, you can replace Jiu-Jitsu with any ambitious pursuit - the lessons are universal. Get ready for an intense journey.

Shots Fired: The Psychology Behind Officer-Involved Shootings
Summary
Anti-police media propaganda has created a perception of police shootings that is very different than reality. Most civilians have never been in a life or death fight, so they are left with Hollywood and media fiction to educate them about law enforcement altercations. The psychology behind officer involved shootings is missing from the public narrative. What occurs in the officer's head, before, during, and after the shooting is the story that is rarely told. In 12 exciting, real-life accounts, you will discover that police shootings are extremely complicated, and the consequences are far greater than most can ever imagine. This audiobook shares the story that officers do not get to tell, and it will prepare those who have not yet been forced to pull the trigger.

How to Be Rich: The Small Business Owner's Guide to Attracting Customers and Clients
Summary
Most small-business marketing sucks, and if you are willing to be honest, you probably do not have a reliable marketing system that dependably delivers new and returning customers or clients. Most business owners are floundering when it comes to advertising and marketing because they have never been exposed to the fundamentals of direct response marketing. Many small-business owners and solopreneurs struggle as they repeatedly make the same mistakes. They are working harder at the wrong things, which traps them in the same discouraging situations. If you can relate, it is not your fault. Most of the "advice" you get from people selling advertising is wrong, and everything you see the big companies doing is not right for you. Rarely does the small-business owner, the local merchant, or even the owner of a midsize company launch their venture focused on the single most important subject that leads to business success - marketing. Typically the owner opens up shop as an expert in their field or a practitioner of their craft, but rarely do they understand what goes into a predictable and repeatable marketing system. But there is no reason to reinvent the wheel or continue struggling, because prosperous entrepreneurs have used this formula successfully for decades. After hearing this entertaining story, you will never look at an ad, promotion, website, or flyer in the same way. Through an entertaining novel, you will come to understand the common mistakes that cost business owners countless sleepless nights and piles of money wasted on ad advertising. Regardless of whether you are selling a product or a service, this style of marketing will enable you to skip years of trial and error. You will discover how to refocus on what will actually attract ideal customers, clients, or patients who are ready to do business with you without price resistance.
