The Chris Voss Show Podcast – Unmanaged: Master the Magic of Creating Empowered and Happy Organizations by Jack Skeels

Unmanaged: Master the Magic of Creating Empowered and Happy Organizations by Jack Skeels https://amzn.to/464UHo7 Agencyagile.com Former executive, two-time Inc 500 award-winning entrepreneur, and think-tank management scientist Jack Skeels, in his new book, Unmanaged: Master the Magic of Creating Empowered and Happy Organizations, lays out the blueprint for how to make agencies – and many other types of organizations run better, faster and happier. Drawing on more than a decade of applied research with over 200 agencies and other high-performance organizations, Skeels presents a compelling case that managing less can be the key to managing better. In its six-part structure, the book takes leaders and managers through the origins of why we manage the way we do today, and how a new style of managing—within which one can see the echoes of Agile methods—boosts everything from project success rates to organizational productivity, profitability and happiness. In its 300 pages, Unmanaged both provides not only the rationale, but also a large number of battle-tested methods for implementing better managing, proven both within his consultancy and in prior work. The book is laced with real-world vignettes that often make managers and leaders laugh (or cringe) in recognition of their own managerial faux pas. There are over ten practical new models of managing that the reader and their organization can make, ranging from better ways to kick-off and scope projects, boost team skills growth, align better with stakeholders and clients, and ensure worker and team productivity. Leaders will be drawn to several topics that explain the power of Unmanaged’s techniques to reduce the cost of meetings, enhance DEI initiatives, and implement better organization models and metrics. While Unmanaged has its origins in digital and marketing agencies, Skeels, who spent much of his career in technology and management consulting, makes a compelling argument that the project-driven workthat they perform (complex, unique, innovative or complex projects) represents the future of human work as AI and other forms of automation displace simpler factory and service style workers. The future of knowledge work is project work. The book is written from a manager-centric perspective, informing many managerial roles found in agencies and elsewhere, including a significant focus on the discipline of project management, its many challenges and failures. At its heart, the book preaches a gospel that hints of Buddhism, urging that managers and leaders can do better by being more aware and less reactive. Show Notes About The Guest(s): Jack Skeels is a former executive, two-time Inc 500 award-winning entrepreneur, and think tank management scientist. He is the founder of Agency Agile, a consultancy that helps organizations improve their management practices. Jack has over a decade of experience working with more than 200 agencies and high-performance organizations. Summary: In this episode of The Chris Voss Show, host Chris Voss interviews Jack Skeels about his new book, "Unmanaged: Master the Magic of Creating Empowered and Happy Organizations." Jack shares his insights on why traditional management practices are often ineffective and how a new style of managing can lead to better productivity, profitability, and happiness in organizations. He emphasizes the importance of self-awareness, avoiding biases, and giving everyone a chance to grow and contribute. Key Takeaways: Traditional management practices often hinder productivity and can be counterproductive. Managers should focus on supporting their team and creating a culture of empowerment. Being aware of biases and implementing processes that avoid them is crucial for effective management. Giving everyone a chance to contribute and grow is essential for building a successful team. Cultivating a learning organization and setting a positive culture is key to long...

Come closer to God; He is able to do something for you that you never imagined. Adolph Dagan was born in a little village called Daganhoé in Togo, West Africa, where his father was a voodoo priest.

The Chris Voss Show Podcast – THE THIRD HEAVEN: and the unutterable things that can now be told by Jim Strahan

THE THIRD HEAVEN: and the unutterable things that can now be told by Jim Strahan https://www.amazon.com/THIRD-HEAVEN-unutterable-things-that/dp/B0CXQ56SGY Jimstrahanbooks.com Jim Strahan: In this book, I will demonstrate how the writings of Moses, John, and Paul, speak to three resurrections, and I will connect them to Paul’s experience when he was caught up to the third heaven. I will also present twenty-one other scriptural references that reveal how this underlying pattern of “threes” spans from Genesis to Revelation. Dr. David Konstan, professor of Classics at NYU following three decades at Brown: You know that what you have to say is important, and you invite your reader to carry on a dialogue. You defend the idea of a third resurrection with due citation of texts, and make a very strong case for it. Boyd Purcell, PHD: I am highly impressed with Jim Strahan’s ability to logically and systematically analyze The Holy Bible in depth, from historical, mathematical, and scientific perspectives. Even if readers do not agree with this author on the three resurrections and the third heaven, they can learn a lot by carefully reading and studying this book, seeing that the Bible is even more symbolic than what they may have ever heard or thought. Michael Riley, Electrical Engineer, and co-author of “Is God Fair? What about Gandhi?”: To the prospective reader, I would like to encourage you to drink deeply from the ideas and arguments in Jim’s book, for you have likely never heard or seen them before–a merging of Scriptures into a belief that today’s Christianity in general, not only does not teach, but likely has never even considered. The number three appears predominantly throughout Scripture. In this amazing book, you will learn of a novel use of this number that explains Paul’s use of the phrase, “each man in his own order.” Intrigued? Well, the answer this book gives is a solid and meaningful explanation of it. And there is more, much more. May you enjoy the exploration.

The Chris Voss Show Podcast – Joshua: Slave, Understudy, Warrior, Spy, Successor, Conqueror, and Ruler by Louis McCall

Joshua: Slave, Understudy, Warrior, Spy, Successor, Conqueror, and Ruler by Louis McCall Louismccallinternational.com https://www.amazon.com/Joshua-Understudy-Warrior-Successor-Conqueror/dp/B0DGDDY2ZV Joshua is the story of an underdog. His amazing arc of development saw his remarkable rise from the slave pits of Egypt to the pinnacle of triumphantly leading three million former slaves and their descendants into the promised land of Canaan. He had an intimate relationship with God. It showed what God could do. During a 40-year apprenticeship under Moses, Joshua rose from being a slave under the whip of his Egyptian masters to being a prince of his tribe in Israel. He became Israel's first military Field Marshal. Joshua ascended Mount Sinai with Moses, saw God, and heard the voice of God with his natural ears. As Moses neared the end of his natural life, God directed Moses to choose and publicly ordain Joshua as his successor, rather than one of his own two sons or anyone else. Then Joshua went on to see God perform physical miracles for him on a par with what God did for Moses, defying the laws of nature and physics. Miracles of this magnitude did not occur again until 1,400 years later when Jesus Christ walked the earth in the flesh as God and man. Joshua ruled, not as a king, but as the intermediary for God's theocratic governance of the descendants of Israel. Joshua's final work was driving the pagan nations God abhorred out of the promised land of Canaan, including subduing the progeny of a race of giants, and then distributing the land among the tribes of Israel. Being advised by God of his approaching transition from life to death, Joshua assembled the nation, recounted all that God had brought them through and then charged them to serve God or come under a curse that he himself pronounced, before they could eventually be restored.

The Chris Voss Show Podcast – Climbing The Hill by Amadou Camara

Climbing The Hill by Amadou Camara https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FK1RKBKL "I come from a place where survival was a victory, and every step forward was a quiet act of defiance." From the dusty streets of Dar es Salam in Guinea Conakry to the drafting tables of the United States, Climbing The Hill is the powerful true story of one boy's journey through poverty, loss, and unrelenting adversity toward a life shaped by hope, resilience, and purpose. Born into hardship, Amadou Camara faced a childhood where survival was never guaranteed. Yet even amid overwhelming circumstances, he dared to dream of a better life. With unwavering determination and strength, he carved a path forward, ultimately transforming himself from a struggling boy into a successful architectural designer in the U.S. This deeply moving memoir explores themes of perseverance, trauma, healing, and the transformative power of vision. More than a personal account, Climbing The Hill is a universal story for anyone who has ever fought to rise above their beginnings and believed in something greater beyond the struggle.About The Author Amadou Camara was born in Guinea-Conakry, where his childhood was marked by trauma, hardship, and the kind of silence that often surrounds suffering. In a world where abuse was normalized and children's voices were rarely heard, Amadou endured, but he also dreamed. His memoir is a testament to the strength it takes to survive when survival is not guaranteed, and to rise when the world teaches you to remain small. Arriving in the United States after winning the Diversity Visa Lottery in 2013, Amadou faced a new set of challenges: a foreign land, a new language, and the weight of starting over. But with the same resilience that carried him through his childhood, he built a life from the ground up-one rooted in purpose, healing, and hope. Today, Amadou lives in Madison, Wisconsin with his wife, Oumou, and their miracle daughter, Aicha. He is a professional architectural designer with a five-year degree in architecture, working at Flad Architects, one of the top Architectural companies in the U.S-He brings his passion for the built environment to every project he touches-shaping spaces that heal and reflect dignity, strength, and vision. Amadou wrote this memoir not only to reflect on his own path to healing but to give voice to the countless children still enduring abuse in silence. His message is simple yet profound: no matter where you begin, you have the power to choose how your story continues. Pain may shape us, but it does not define us. With courage, hope, and unshakable will, we can all build a life worth remembering.

The Chris Voss Show Podcast – Sir Gusztáv Arlow’s Sabre Fencing: Austro-Hungarian Sabre Series, vol. 3 (Austro-Hungarian Military Sabre Series) by Russ Mitchell

Sir Gusztáv Arlow's Sabre Fencing: Austro-Hungarian Sabre Series, vol. 3 (Austro-Hungarian Military Sabre Series) by Russ Mitchell https://www.amazon.com/Guszt%C3%A1v-Arlows-Sabre-Fencing-Austro-Hungarian/dp/B09X3NZ2P5 https://www.patreon.com/cw/u56077390 The Birth of Italo-Hungarian Fencing! Gusztáv Arlow’s work represents perhaps the point where the Hungarian public sees a well-known, well-established, and well-respected fencer come forward to discuss the merits of the “Italian,” that is to say, Radaellian, fencing method, while simultaneously discussing its integration with elements of Hungarian sabre fencing. Arlow, previously an adherent to the so-called "High Tierce" system, lays out the case for "Italian" fencing in this translated manual, which contains extensive commentary on the art of fencing. A must-have for historical fencers and those interested in the birth of the modern Italo-Hungarian school.About the author Russ Mitchell is an author, historian, and fencing instructor who helps people with stress, strain, and balance issues. He also writes fantasy stories for fun and to read to his daughter. Russ' work is heavily influenced by Moshe Feldenkrais, Barbara Hambly, Robert Heinlein, and Glen Cook. He is a big fan of Hunter S. Thompson's famous dictum "when the going gets weird, the weird turn pro." He was voted "least in need of LSD" while in college, which might explain a lot. When not travelling to smack people with swords and axes, he lives in Irving, TX, with his wife, daughter, and cats.

Superbold: From Under-Confident to Charismatic in 90 Days by Fred Joyal https://www.amazon.com/Superbold-Under-Confident-Charismatic-90-Days/dp/1544523076 Fredjoyal.com Boldness is a superpower. Bold individuals seize life in remarkable, almost unbelievable ways. They succeed in business, in careers, and in love, and they have a great time doing it. Bold people walk up to supermodels and ask them to dance. They stand in front of audiences and tell jokes. They start companies. They run for president. What surprises most people is that boldness can be taught. Fred Joyal started as an extremely shy person, too timid even to make a phone call, and transformed himself into someone who has done stand-up and improv comedy, spoken to audiences of 5,000 or more, met dozens of celebrities, and, just by being bold, found love, joy, passion, and success. And he can teach you how. Superbold gives you a systematic, step-by-step approach that can take you to a surprising level of boldness in as little as ninety days. Ready to stop living a life of regrets and missed opportunities? It's all possible—faster than you think.About the author Fred Joyal is an author, speaker, entrepreneur, and business advisor. Along with a lucrative career in advertising and marketing, he co-founded the most successful dentist referral service in the country, 1-800-DENTIST. He has written two books on marketing, dabbled in stand-up and improv comedy, acted in bad movies and excellent TV commercials, and visited over forty-four countries around the world. He has an honorary Doctor of Arts degree from the University of Rhode Island, perhaps because of his generous donations. He once beat Sir Richard Branson in chess and was also a question on Jeopardy!. He is an avid cyclist, a below-average tennis player, and an even worse golfer.
