The Chris Voss Show Podcast – Trump, Tamales and the American Family by Margaret Donnelly
Trump, Tamales and the American Family by Margaret Donnelly https://www.amazon.com/Tamales-American-Family-Margaret-Donnelly/dp/1977220746 Margaret Donnelly, emeritus attorney at law of Texas, certified in immigration and nationality law, proposes in her fifth book, Trump, Tamales and the American Family, that it’s time to smash our culture of fear and follow the example of our World War II Greatest Generation, who built economies, exporting peace and prosperity throughout the world. Donnelly also suggests that we should invest in our American family–a family tree with roots and branches that stretch from the top of North America to the bottom of South America. It’s time to join each other in a metaphorical kitchen, sharing resources and labor to produce a sacred meal, tamales, together, just as extended families of the Americas have been doing for ten thousand years. President Donald J. Trump–the Great Negotiator–is invited to this dinner table to remind him that he can help us move beyond a border wall toward a great transformation of the Americas. About the author Margaret Donnelly is the author of “Bolívar’s Heart”, “The Path of Lord Jaguar”, “The Spirits of Venezuela” and “The Song of the Goldencocks”, which received Honorable Mention at the 2007 International Latino Book Awards in New York.

Born in Venezuela, she moved to the United States with her family at age 15. She now resides in Dallas, Texas, where she divides her time between her immigration law practice and writing.

The Chris Voss Show Podcast – Boys Adrift: The Six Factors Driving the Growing Epidemic of Unmotivated Boys and Underachieving Young Men by Leonard Sax
Boys Adrift: The Six Factors Driving the Growing Epidemic of Unmotivated Boys and Underachieving Young Men by Leonard Sax https://www.amazon.com/Boys-Adrift-Epidemic-Unmotivated-Underachieving/dp/154160685X American boys are failing to meet their potential―the author of the New York Times bestseller The Collapse of Parenting explains why, and what we can do about it, in this updated edition. A growing proportion of American boys are failing. From kindergarten to college, boys are becoming less resilient and less ambitious, and the gender gap in college attendance and graduation rates has widened dramatically. In this fully updated edition, Dr. Leonard Sax draws on scientific literature and more than thirty years of clinical experience to explain why boys and young men are failing in school and disengaged at work. Sax identifies six key factors: schools unfriendly to boys; video games; medications for ADHD; environmental toxins; the devaluation of masculinity; and, in brand-new material, the combined forces of pornography, AI, and the manosphere. Throughout, Sax presents practical solutions, sharing strategies that educators have found effective in reengaging boys at school, as well as crucial guidance for parents about everything from selecting a school to preparing a meal. A powerful call to action, Boys Adrift is essential reading for parents and educators who want to build a brighter future for America’s sons. About the author Leonard Sax MD PhD graduated Phi Beta Kappa from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) at the age of 19, and then went on to the University of Pennsylvania, where he earned both a PhD in psychology, and an MD. He completed a 3-year residency in family practice in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. For 19 years, Dr. Sax was a practicing family physician in Maryland, just outside Washington DC. In 2005, Doubleday published his first book Why Gender Matters; an updated edition was published in August 2017. His second book, Boys Adrift, was published in 2007; an updated edition was published in June 2016. His third book Girls on the Edge was published in 2010; an updated edition was published in August 2020. His fourth book The Collapse of Parenting was published by Basic Books in December 2015 and became a New York Times bestseller. An updated edition was published in October 2024.

The Chris Voss Show Podcast – Orbis Pictus: World Affairs in the Visual Digital Era by Dr Vendulka Kubalkova
Orbis Pictus: World Affairs in the Visual Digital Era by Dr Vendulka Kubalkova https://www.amazon.com/Orbis-Pictus-Affairs-Visual-Digital/dp/B0H3YQ4MMR Drvkubalkova.com The invention of the movable-type printing press by Johannes Gutenberg in the mid-1400s represents one of the most significant technological advancements in history. The printing press shaped the modern era by revolutionizing how information was shared and preserved, as well as educational practices. Today, society is entering the Digital Era. Students now grow up with the internet and social media. Research shows that younger generations increasingly prefer audio-visual content, while both students and the general public read for recreation less often. This book introduces an innovative educational format we call a videobook. It offers access to about 135 original online videos, featuring animated presentations that provide a comprehensive introduction to contemporary global issues. The videobook covers a wider range of topics than most university-level International Relations courses. Integrating video content improves accessibility and relevance, addressing the limitations of traditional educational resources. The videos also encourage deeper engagement with philosophy and history. Many universities have yet to fully adopt visualization as a teaching tool, which remains a significant limitation in the Digital Era. This project aims to address that gap. This work is designed primarily for university students but remains accessible to a wider audience. Professor Kubálková holds a JUDr. from Charles University, Czechoslovakia, and a Ph.D. in International Politics from Lancaster University, England. She is also a graduate of the Prague Conservatoire. She currently serves as a Professor of International Studies at the University of Miami in Florida. Her previous appointments include academic positions in England, New Zealand, and Australia, as well as fellowships at the University of Munich, Stanford University, and the University of California, Berkeley. She has served as Assistant Provost for International Studies and Director of the M.A. program in International Administration (MAIA). Since 2016, she has been a Visiting Professor at VSE, University of Economics and Business, Prague. Professor Kubálková is a past President of the International Studies Association South and served for ten years as a trustee of the Social Science Research Foundation Board at the Korbel School of International Studies, University of Denver. She co-edited the eight-volume M. E. Sharpe series, "International Relations in a Constructed World," and was a founding member and co-chair of the ISA section Global International Relations (GIRS). Following years in exile, she received the Jan Masaryk Medal "Pro Amicitia Inter Naciones" for expertise in International Relations and has been inducted into the "Memory of the Nation" of the Czech Republic. Her research, publications, and teaching focus on International Relations theory, Marxism, Constructivism, post-Soviet studies, religion, civilizations, culture in world affairs, non-Western perspectives, pedagogy, and the application of information technology in education. She is the author, among others, of My Path to Global International Relations: An Autobiographical Textbook (2026).

But the claims process is deviously designed to pay only pennies on the dollar for losses. Furthermore, if you take an insurance company to court, you'll find that the legal system is stacked against you. David Skipton brings his many years of claims adjusting experience to help you avoid the pitfalls in the claims process. Learn how to: recognize the tricks insurance companies play to cheat you out of money; take steps to improve your chances of enjoying a favorable outcome on a claim; and receive fair compensation in the event of an insurance payout. While insurance companies once looked out for customers, times are changing, and you need to know what motivates them if you want any chance to get what you're owed. It doesn't matter if you own a business or a home-if you have an active claim or not- it's important to demystify the claims process. It begins by learning how to protect your best interests and learning how to play The Claims Game.

The Chris Voss Show Podcast – Driven to Build, Guided by Values: Leading for Long-Term Success in the For-Profit and Nonprofit Worlds by Peter Finn
Driven to Build, Guided by Values: Leading for Long-Term Success in the For-Profit and Nonprofit Worlds by Peter Finn https://www.amazon.com/dp/1953943659 Peter Finn was always a little different. As a high school senior, he became an ethical vegetarian, took up meditation, and immersed himself in Eastern religions; later, as a long-haired student at Brown University, he fell for a beautiful classmate named Sarah, and the two began dreaming of creating an organic, green-energy farm. Then, as a rising executive in his family’s public relations business, Peter began stirring up controversy by advocating an entrepreneurial leadership style and growth through acquisitions that would also require decentralized control. It became increasingly clear that, somehow, Peter Finn would end up forging a life path all his own. In the end, Peter shattered expectations not once but twice. First, in 1998, having fallen in love with rural Hunter, New York, Peter and Sarah (now his wife) launched the Catskill Mountain Foundation with the dream of using arts programs—drama, music, dance, movies, and more—to spark economic and social revitalization throughout the region. They started on a shoestring, but over time, through improvisation and daring, sometimes “crazy” opportunism, they forged partnerships with talented people and groups to build one of the most vibrant artistic hubs in the Northeast. Second, late in 2011, Peter took an even riskier plunge into the unknown. With a handful of like-minded colleagues, he negotiated a separation from the family company to launch a new PR agency built on values ranging from “Work hard and play nice” and “Create a best-place-to-work environment” to “Commit to diversity” and “Make a difference in the world.” Today, having won a host of industry awards and honors, FINN Partners has grown to embrace 35 offices with 1,300 employees around the world. Driven to Build, Guided by Values tells the parallel stories of these two unique organizations, operating in very different spheres yet shaped by the same core beliefs. Leaders in every field will discover valuable lessons about how to build organizations for lasting success in the dramatic, colorful stories that fill the pages of Driven to Build.
