Book excerpt: “My friend – and now partner – Jorge Paulo and his team are among the best businessmen in the world. He is a fantastic person and his story should be an inspiration to everybody, as it is for me.” – Warren Buffett In just over forty years, Jorge Paulo Lemann, Marcel Telles and Beto Sicupira built the biggest empire in the history of Brazilian capitalism and launched themselves onto the world stage in an unprecedented way. Over the past five years, they have acquired no fewer than three globally-recognized American brands: Budweiser, Burger King and Heinz. This has been achieved as discreetly as possible and they have shunned any personal publicity. The management method they developed, which has been zealously followed by their employees, is based on meritocracy, simplicity and constant cost cutting. Their culture is as efficient as it is merciless and leaves no room for mediocre performances. On the other hand, those who bring in exceptional results have the chance to become company partners and make a fortune. Dream Big presents a detailed behind-the-scenes portrait of the meteoric rise of these three businessmen, from the founding of Banco Garantia in the 1970s to the present day. In 1971, when the Brazilian stock market was going through an euphoria, Harvard graduate, tennis champion and underwater fishing enthusiast from Rio de Janeiro Jorge Paulo Lemann decided to start a new business. He assembled some partners and put out a newspaper ad: “Brokerage wanted.” Days later, Lemann began running what would become the cornerstone of his fortune and those of over 200 other people. Its name was Garantia. The “Garantia model” was based on businesses that impressed Lemann, such as Goldman Sachs in finance and Walmart in retail. Its philosophy gave the best workers the opportunity to become shareholders.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our Family Had Big Dreams is a multi-generational story about working towards goals while living and learning along the way. Written with honesty, humility, and humour, author Jennifer Murphy’s memoir starts with the story of her parents in England and their dreams, and then follows her life in Canada as a scientist in a field dominated by men. She reflects on how both journeys have also affected the next generation in her family. Jenny’s inspirational story is about breaking traditional moulds and following one’s dreams in two different countries. Her story also provides an interesting insight into the hardships experienced in Britain after the Second World War, into lifestyles in England in the ’50’s and the “swinging ’60’s”, and the differences between cultures and educational systems in England and Canada. It is a story that also shines a light on attitudes towards women in the last 75 years. Jenny uniquely shares her latest adventure in life—returning to university in her seventies—as she continues her lifelong pursuit of knowledge and embracing whatever’s next.

We moved home lots while I lived in the family home. Lost friendships ruled my mind, this fact, health and lack of proper education led to life feeling like it was falling apart. I turned carefree and rebellious, till nearly 22 when I had another life determining event, as a regular drink-driver I had an always on the cards, devastating car crash. I went into a-coma, one point from brain death. Mum, I really believe now I have learnt the powers of belief and creation, had early on, the biggest effect on my recovery. She from day one, even when I was unconscious never questioned my return to health. With all the odds against me, my determination that I was not going to live life like this, with Mum by my side for the early days. She still even today is amazing as the best support in the industry! Except she does not get paid. I moved out the family home at about 24, this was delayed for the obvious reason plus I did not grow up and move away from my troubles. In horrendous disabled reality, miraculously I found love. After a what I considered an end to life, I was so happy we laughed so much. We never broke up, I went away for rehabilitation, never saw her again. Think about her lots, I am crying right now! A year into my rehabilitation after being totally born again, to better feeling than ever, I had my mind taken. My, amazing, visual, articulate, quick, humorous mind. I was born again to feel like a king, I attempted suicide three times the following week. I missed my mind, had been the best company my whole life. I was admitted to various psychiatric units for years, all this was reasoned as a mental health problem by everyone. So, life was amazing, then at seven this takes a dip, never raises to contented levels, at nineteen takes another dip for health and social reasons. Then at twenty-one nearly ends. Twenty-three I am the happiest I have ever been in love. At twenty-six I am reborn to one hundred times this happiness! The week after I attempt suicide, doing some very serious things. Twenty-seven I begin public speaking about my life lessons involving disability and drink-driving. Very successful but my blank mind was still receiving messages, started following my thoughts. End back in hospital. Released. Used. Taken advantage of. Continue what I started years ago, writing and making a blog and designing posters. Start my research, have to find answers. The ups and downs and the research continued until forty-one when I finally publish this book. Herein contains a wealth of personal and learned experience. You want to learn the one thing in the title of this book, you’re in the right place, or you want to learn a wealth of little known secrets, you are also in the right place. You shall not think the same about anything once you complete this book. All the best JDR [email protected]

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two friends take a wild month-long road trip to hit every Major League Baseball stadium in America: “A fun ride” (The Boston Globe). Ben, a sports analytics wizard, loves baseball. Eric, his best friend, hates it. But when Ben writes an algorithm for the optimal baseball road trip, an impossible dream of every pitch of thirty games in thirty stadiums in thirty days, who will he call on to take shifts behind the wheel, especially when those shifts will include nineteen hours straight from Phoenix to Kansas City? Eric, of course. On June 1, 2013, they set out to see America through the bleachers and concession stands of America’s favorite pastime. Along the way, human error and Mother Nature throw their mathematically optimized schedule a few curveballs. A mix-up in Denver turns a planned day off in Las Vegas into a twenty-hour drive. And a summer storm of biblical proportions threatens to make the whole thing logistically impossible, and that’s if they don’t kill each other first. I Don’t Care if We Never Get Back is a book about the love of the game, the limits of fandom, and the limitlessness of friendship. “Moneyball-worthy mathematical algorithms and the sharp, hilarious prose that has made Lampoon alums famous for generations . . . Nate Silver numbers and James Thurber wit turn what should be a harebrained adventure into a pretty damn endearing one.” —Kirkus Reviews “Evokes the spirit of sports stunt journalist George Plimpton and the dazed road-trip fever of Hunter S. Thompson, minus the mind-altering substances . . . . It’s great watching Blatt and Brewster race home.” —The Boston Globe “A cross between The Cannonball Run and The Great Race, with portions of It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World thrown in for good measure . . . The dynamic and back-and-forth tension and sarcasm between Blatt and Brewster is funny . . . Worth reading.” —The Tampa Tribune
