Kindle Pick of the Week: Who Are You... When You Are BIG? 

Who Are You... When You Are BIG? It’s a simple but essential question that can change your life and the way you lead. The authors have asked more than 1,500 leaders to answer it and have witnessed its power to transform. To be “BIG” isn’t about ego, title or money. It is about accessing your core inner values and strengths. When you are BIG, work becomes easy and effortless, even in the face of great challenges. The authors are elite professional coaches who have worked with thousands of top performing leaders, from Fortune 100 executives to successful entrepreneurs. Here you will find tools and resources to develop that inner power and discover YOUR brand of authentic leadership – from the inside out. To be BIG, in short, is to be in your most resourceful state, and you can step into that state at any moment. It is a place of hope and possibility, where you can live and lead intentionally and courageously. When you know who you are when you are BIG, you become the kind of leader who thrives instead of merely survives. And you find that those around you are playing BIG, too.

Soon you will be asking, together, “Who are WE when WE are BIG?”

Amazon Pick of the Week: The Nomadic Wealth Formula

The Nomadic Wealth Formula, an inspired look at practical ways in which people can expand and create their own wealth, regardless of locale while expanding their freedom, will publish on September 1st, 2020. Nomadic Wealth is the first “how-to” handbook authored by American entrepreneur, former special operations Marine, and host of the influential “Wealth, Power and Influence” podcast, Jason Stapleton.

Wealth focuses on the philosophy and practical steps necessary for anyone to achieve true freedom in their lives. As both technology and our world economy continue to evolve many Americans have fallen victim to an antiquated education system that hasn’t prepared them for the rapidly changing economy we have today. In this remarkable new work, Jason Stapleton presents a unique perspective of both financial independence and liberty by reimagining what it means to be free in the 21st century, and what needs to be done to seize borderless financial independence. This comes at a highly pertinent time in human history, as government interference in regional economics due to COVID-19 have left millions unemployed, unsure of their future, and in need of a new way of approaching financial security.

“This book is a culmination of the techniques and lessons I’ve gleaned over the past ten years building myself and my companies, and creating an independence that I want to see everyone achieve,” said Jason Stapleton. “Nomadic Wealth isn’t just a title, it’s a way of viewing the world, yourself and making the most out of your skillset and opportunities to be your own boss and give yourself full freedom without strings attached. This book will undoubtedly change people’s lives, if they have the drive and discipline.”

Nomadic Wealth keys on several primary principles, including:

The 4 things necessary to achieve real freedom in your life.
The 3 Pillars of Nomadic Wealth.
Why working a 9-5 is far more risky and less secure than working for yourself.
Traditional entrepreneurship vs. the Nomadic Entrepreneur.
Why most people are unhappy regardless of how much money they make and the one thing you can do to start being happy now.
Why the rich get richer regardless of how many social programs we create.
The difference between a producer and a consumer and why all the money flows to producers.
What the future of employment will look like over the next 20 years.
The 7 things a business needs to create nomadic wealth.
How you can use the principles of nomadic wealth even if you already own a traditional business.
Stapleton provides a perfect platform from which to educate, having experienced the harshest of life challenges as a special forces marine, and then creating his own finance-centric empire with Trade Empowered in 2009. Trade Empowered became one of the largest and most respected trading education firms on earth boasting tens of thousands of clients in over 110 countries.

Book Pick of the Week: The Screaming Hairy Armadillo and 76 Other Animals with Weird, Wild Names

Pre-order this great book that families will enjoy.

New from authors, former educators, and father-and-son team Steve and Matt Murrie comes THE SCREAMING HAIRY ARMADILLO and 76 Other Animals with Weird, Wild Names (September 15, 2020; Ages 7-10/Grades 1-5; $14.95), a quirky compendium of curious animal species with the most bizarre monikers.

Perfect for elementary-grade students who are learning remotely this fall, The Screaming Hairy Armadillo gives readers the scoop on taxonomy—the science of defining and naming organisms—and how taxonomists invent names. And there is even a free downloadable Educators Guide for extra learning opportunities!

What's in a name? This lively, illustrated celebration is jam-packed with creatures notable for their bizarre, baffling, and just-plain-funny names.

Meet the White-Bellied Go-Away Bird, whose cry sounds like someone screaming, "Go away!" Or the Aye-Aye, whose name means "I don't know" in Malagasy because no one wants anything to do with this bad-luck creature.

Some are obvious, if still weird––gues what the Fried Egg Jellyfish looks like. Others sound like an inside joke: It's easy to figure out what was on the taxonomist's mind when he christened a fly he discovered Pieza Pie.

Along the way you'll learn all about these curiously named animals' just-as-curious habits, appearances, and abilities.

The Mountain and the Goat a modern-day children’s fable  was designed to plant the seed of resourcefulness and take-action mentality in children. Parents can use Siamak’s book as a way to foster a healthy line of communication as well as build their kids' emotional intelligence and encourage them to always have creativity, curiosity, confidence, trust, and kindness.

We are living in uncertain times with COVID-19 closing schools again for the fall. Many parents are worried that their children are getting left behind. Siamak created The Mountain and The Goat as a way to encourage children of all ages to develop values of creative problem-solving and inspire a generation of resourceful children, a topic that many parents are seeking while school is moving into the home.

"Growing up, my father taught me an old Persian poem that had a profound impact on my life. It taught me to seize the opportunities that life throws at us and to always be resourceful. Small actions lead to bigger and better results and I hope this book helps spark a lifetime of progression," said Siamak Taghaddos.

The Mountain and The Goat is currently available for pre-order and will be available for purchase from Amazon on July 28. For all media inquiries, please contact Heather DeSantis at heather@publicityforgood.com for more information or interviews or to request a copy.

He's been named in Businessweek's "5 Under 25," Inc. Magazine's "30 Under 30," and The Boston Business Journal's "40 Under 40" lists. Siamak has been featured in various entrepreneurship textbooks and various media outlets including CNN, Fox Business, Forbes, and Bloomberg.
