In this episode, Josh and Erik interview author Jeffrey Engle about his book “EntreLeadership: 20 Years of Practical Business Wisdom from the Trenches” and how to implement its concepts in your life.

From the publisher:
All the War They Want presents counterintuitive problem-solving techniques, using as its case in point one of the most existential threats to our national security and American way of life: cyber warfare. Informed by Jeffrey Engle’s experience as a member of the U.S. military’s elite special ops community, his Brazilian jiujitsu training, and his leadership of a premier cyber defense company, All the War They Want offers an alternative perspective on overcoming tough leadership challenges―a perspective previously available only to those bearing the scars of a lifetime at war. All the War They Want shows you what rules and conventions to break to stack the deck in your favor, giving you the competitive edge in business and in life.

From the publisher:
During his military career, Engle earned two Bronze Star Medals, the Purple Heart, the Meritorious Service Medal, the Army Commendation Medal for Valor, the Combat Action Badge, and the Military Freefall Parachutists Badge in addition to being selected as one of the youngest members of the world’s most elite fighting unit. Following his medical retirement from special operations, Engle continued his fight to protect the country. Through his work with the Defense Threat Reduction Agency, he oversaw emergency management and mass warning/notification systems following terrorist attacks, school shootings, and the like. He devised and coordinated training exercises at the national level to prepare for attacks with weapons of mass destruction and responded to the Ebola outbreak in Sierra Leone, writing a book on disease emergence from the Asia-Pacific region. Engle was then tapped to create and lead Conquest Cyber to help protect critical American assets from ongoing cyberattacks using the philosophies and tactics he learned in special ops. A graduate of Virginia Tech, where he earned a master’s degree in political science, Engle has also earned a cybersecurity certificate from Harvard University. His hobbies include flying, diving, and deep-sea fishing.

70. Author Interview, "All the War They Want" by Jeffrey Engle

Rich Zahradnik is the author of the thriller THE BONE RECORDS and the four critically acclaimed Coleridge Taylor mysteries, including Lights Out Summer, winner of the Shamus Award from the Private Eye Writers of America. His book, THE BONE RECORDS teases: What would you do if you found a bone record—a black-market Soviet recording made on an X-ray? What if you found it at the site of your father’s murder?
Zahradnik was a journalist for 27 years, working as a reporter and editor in several different media, including online, newspaper, broadcast, magazine and wire services. He held editorial positions at CNN, Bloomberg News, AOL and The Hollywood Reporter.  

THE BONE RECORDS: NY Police Academy washout Grigg Orlov discovers an eerie piece of evidence at the scene of his father’s brutal murder: a disc-shaped X-ray of a skull. It’s a bone record—what Soviet citizens called banned American songs recorded on used X-rays. But the black-market singles haven’t been produced since the sixties. What’s one doing in Coney Island in 2016?   https://www.richzahradnik.com/

In "Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet," author Jamie Ford writes his debut novel about a Chinese American man named Henry Lee who reflects decades later on what it was like growing up during World War 2 in Seattle, the conflict between his father's insistence that he grow up American and the sad history of what happened to Japanese Americans swept up in the internment camps, including a special friend he never forgot.

Ford: Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet

In this episode, Josh and Erik interview author David Glasgow about his new book “Say the Right Thing: How to Talk About Identity, Diversity, and Justice.” The book’s release date is February 7, 2023.

About the book (from the publisher):
A practical, shame-free guide for navigating conversations across our differences at a time of rapid social change. In the current period of social and political unrest, conversations about identity are becoming more frequent and more difficult. On subjects like critical race theory, gender equity in the workplace, and LGBTQ-inclusive classrooms, many of us are understandably fearful of saying the wrong thing. That fear can sometimes prevent us from speaking up at all, depriving people from marginalized groups of support and stalling progress toward a more just and inclusive society. Kenji Yoshino and David Glasgow, founders of the Meltzer Center for Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging at NYU School of Law, are here to show potential allies that these conversations don’t have to be so overwhelming. Through stories drawn from contexts as varied as social media posts, dinner party conversations, and workplace disputes, they offer seven user-friendly principles that teach skills such as how to avoid common conversational pitfalls, engage in respectful disagreement, offer authentic apologies, and better support people in our lives who experience bias.
