Download or read book Time to Get Tough written by Michael J. Coles and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2018-10-01 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michael J. Coles, the cofounder of the Great American Cookie Company and the former CEO of Caribou Coffee, did not follow a conventional path into business. He does not have an Ivy League pedigree or an MBA from a top-ten business school. He grew up poor, starting work at the age of thirteen. He had many false starts and painful defeats, but Coles has a habit of defying expectations. His life and career have been about turning obstacles into opportunities, tragedies into triumphs, and poverty into philanthropy. In Time to Get Tough, Coles explains how he started a $100-million company with only $8,000, overcame a near-fatal motorcycle accident, ran for the U.S. Congress, and set three transcontinental cycling world records. His story also offers a firsthand perspective on the business, political, and philanthropic climate in the last quarter of the twentieth century and serves as an important case study for anyone interested in overcoming a seemingly insurmountable challenge. Readers will also discover practical leadership lessons and unconventional ways of approaching business.

Book excerpt: Set in the formerly oil-rich desert Southwest, this play explores the lives of two generations of women living under one roof. The story centers on Jo who, after her father dies, takes in her feisty mother. The dialogue between them and with a long-time neighbor is, at once, outrageously funny and heart-breakingly tragic. These women tear and rip into each other¿s psyche with reckless abandon and something barely resembling love. The cookies in question may or may not be poisoned, but just beneath the surface these women hide a more potent poison¿the deadly venom accumulated over years of unfulfilled dreams mixed with the sudden and bitter acceptance of a life unrealized. If you like your tragedies hysterically funny then take a bite of this.

Download or read book Tough Cookies written by Simon Wright and published by Profile Books(GB). This book was released on 2006 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An explosive expose of the culinary brotherhood of Britain. From Marco Pierre White and Gordon Ramsay to Heston Blumenthal, Shaun Hill and Marcus Wareing, Tough Cookies blows the lid on the revolution in British cooking. 'The whole thing was a shit-fight. If they'd filmed it, it would be an Oscar nominee' Gordon Ramsay. Think of great cooking and you must think of France - the classic dishes, techniques and structure of kitchens are all derived from across the channel. British food was never renowned for its flair and inventiveness, until the 1980s when Marco Pierre White led an extraordinary revolution in British cuisine. Passionate and unpredictable, he inspired many of the top chefs in Britain today. In this insightful book, Simon Wright exposes the revolution for what it was and shows how the passionate idealism of the early years has been compromised. He takes us inside the kitchen to the brotherhood of chefs and tells the very distinct tales of Gordon Ramsay, Heston Blumenthal, Shaun Hill and Marcus Wareing - four men who have risen through the vicious climate of the kitchen to make a special mark. Theirs is an elite band, tough to join, and these are the stories of how they qualified for membership. In terms of their impact on British eating out, their achievements in the kitchen and their status among fellow chefs, they have dominated the last fifteen years. From Michelin stars and the AA Restaurant Guide to haute cuisine and bacon and egg ice cream, nothing will ever be quite the same again on the British restaurant scene. Wright captures the magic, sweat and imagination of these exceptional characters in the kitchen.
