F**k the Fairytale has nothing to do with Cinderella stories and glass slippers. Although the language may seem aggressive it is really an expression of the anger one feels as an African American woman in corporate America. The stress of waking up everyday wanting to be great and constantly being put in positions where you are limited and have to pretend to be someone is not a fairytale at all. In fact, it is a nightmare that you simply want to wake up from and can't. My everyday reality was that I am an educated black woman with a master's degree who is good at what she does, but intimidating to those around me. Due to this intimidation I have found myself fired from jobs that I was great at. The frustration and stress of it all finally forced me to see my purpose. My stepfather always told me to "Get My Own". Through this book you will take a journey with me through the highs and lows of corporate America. You will experience all the emotions and feelings of loss and hopelessness. Although the journey has not been easy, it has gotten me to where I am today as a successful entrepreneur. The purpose of this book is to encourage you and let you know that you can overcome. This is not just a book it is a movement. A movement that will inspire and bring courage to others to not settle for what is safe but use their gifts to start their business. My passion is to help those who feel stuck in corporate America and teach them how to create the fairytale they truly desire.

Disruptors provides a candid and unadulterated glimpse into the minds and experiences of the entrepreneurs behind game-changing ventures such as Pinterest, Venture for America, charity: water, Foursquare and a host of others. The stories within these pages capture the motivation for breaking away from the comfort, security, glamor and status of corporate America in search of self-actualization. By revealing the journey of over a dozen entrepreneurs, Disruptors reveals how ordinary individuals chased their extraordinary passions and ultimately reclaimed their lives from unfulfilling work. Contrary to typical success stories, the primary focus of this text is on the trials and tribulations, heartbreaks, and failures adventurous entrepreneurs face in their resilient journey to professionally satisfying careers. Written by a former Wall-streeter, Disruptors acts as the catalyst for those seeking inspiration and fulfillment from their work. The rich content and style stems from the integrity and simplicity of a young professional searching for answers himself which he honestly wishes to share.

Rob, Dom and Mikey were fed up with the corporate treadmill. When they decided to change careers, they looked for a website to help them escape - except there wasn't one. So they started their own. Three years later and they have started a movement called Escape the City. Over 100,000 people have joined www.escapethecity.org in pursuit of exciting and unconventional careers. They are the first online start-up in the world to raise more than £500,000 in investment equity crowdfunding - and they did this entirely from their own membership. The Escape Manifesto is the book that the guys wish they had read three years ago on the London Underground when they were commuting back and forth from their corporate cubicles. It is an inspirational call to action, packed with practical advice and encouragement. If you work in a corporate job that doesn't make you tick and you have ever wondered whether there is more to life, this book is for you. Step off the corporate treadmill - find an exciting job, start your own business, or go on a big adventure. Stop dreaming, start planning and do something different! Reader Feedback "Fab book- inspired me to plan my escape in Jan 2014 to India to clear my head after 29 years in social work then starting my own business. If not now, when?!" - Fionna "My inspiration to take the step out of banking was driven by your book. I had been thinking about it for about a year but I kept putting off leaving the salaried job, that is until a friend left work and handed me a copy." - Selina "The Escape Manifesto is a fantastic book. Page after page really hit the note with me.....

I'm so excited!" - Andre "I lost track of the number of times I stopped to read out passages to my wife which expressed the exact same thoughts and emotions as I’d been feeling myself, it’s always good to know you’re not the first to have felt this way.

Quit my job in senior leadership in a blue chip corporate. Now what???? Halfway thru your book and I had the eureka moment - "I'll write a book too" so, after blasting out a proposal I now have a contract with a publishing house. My new life as a writer started 3 months ago, you guys gave me the nudge I needed. Thanks!" - Andrew "I just wanted to say briefly THANK YOU! You wrote a great book! I found myself on many pages!

"A highly dramatic but lucid introduction to the murky world of cryptocurrency." – Kirkus Reviews "Five out of Five Stars. Reading this book was nothing short of thrilling." – Manhattan Book Review At the start of this riveting memoir, Dan Conway is a brash executive in a vast corporation, slogging his way up the ladder while struggling with depression and an addiction he thought he had defeated long ago. As he begins to realize that the mix of nightmarish bureaucracy and his unruly "flip side" have doomed any chance of success, Dan stumbles upon cryptocurrency, tumbling down the rabbit hole to discover a strange, anarchic, but captivating world. He decides to wager everything—his savings, his marriage, his family, his future—on the fledgling crypto, Ether. In Confessions of a Crypto Millionaire, readers join Dan on a rollicking, harrowing, frequently hilarious journey, including his: struggle to rise through the corporate ranks; battle with addiction and its aftermath; bid to reinvent himself; efforts to hold his marriage and family together; and the costs–and thrills–of risking it all. "For Conway, crypto was only partly about the money. It was also about finding liberation and salvation." – Forbes Dan details in a non-technical and non-preachy way how the idea of blockchain-based decentralization has convinced a generation of dreamers, misfits and gamblers to too often bet more than they can afford to lose. He illustrates how public blockchains like Ethereum could disrupt the nature of work itself in the coming years, upending stultifying centralized corporations in favor of "trust machines" and peer-to-peer cooperation. In the process, readers take a thrilling ride with Dan on a turbocharged adventure through crypto, not knowing if he will make history or lose everything he holds dear.

Lucinda Jackson, a harried scientist and business executive, sets off to make a break from her corporate decades and have an “extraordinary” retirement. She launches into a five-phase “Project Escape,” complete with a vision, goals, and a scorecard of success to deliver this next chapter. Soon, Jackson and her semi-reluctant husband of thirty years are off as volunteers to the government of the Pacific island country of Palau. But while Jackson got the girl out of the corporation, even the jolt of Palau can’t fully get the corporation out of the girl. As she struggles through self-examination around purpose, identity, ego, marriage, and parenthood after years of investing so much in career, Jackson gradually learns who she is again. Whether you’re thinking ahead to retirement or are already there, Project Escape provides an unvarnished but ultimately encouraging reference in navigating the “post-career” era.

Management as we know it has been the driver of business growth in U.S. economies for a couple of centuries. Yet the practice of management is no longer focused on creating real value. Instead, it is now all about using sophisticated financial techniques-and practices like outsourcing and downsizing, among others—to improve profitability. Such addition through subtraction results in higher profits in the short term but puts the corporation and its employees at risk in the long term—not to mention the entire U.S. economy. Innovation and productivity improvement, corporate manager Jack Buffington argues, are lost arts in American business. So is getting back to basics the answer? Buffington's provocative thesis: Management as we know it probably can't be repaired. It must be replaced. Asian economies, meanwhile, are growing by leaps and bounds thanks in part to short-term, ill-advised decisions made by U.S. managers. Local companies and divisions of multinational organizations in emerging countries are on track to eventually overtake those of the West, putting our job base and prosperity at peril. If we want to bring manufacturing jobs back here to the U.S., corporate managers must seek productivity and innovation improvements in U.S. operations. Jack Buffington knows all too well how quickly things can go downhill for U.S. businesses. Turned into a relentless cost-cutter by the forces of globalization and Wall Street's expectations for short-term gains, he—like thousands of other U.S. executives—has watched some of the companies he's worked for disappear for want of real value. Whereas America once prized managers who displayed skill in optimizing the interplay of capital, labor, and technology to grow a company, today's professional manager is rewarded more often for being a cost cutter than an innovator. Fortunately, this book not only outlines the problem, it outlines the solution as well by establishing a 21st-century definition of management that will succeed in today's global economy. Rather than angling to produce a penny more of earnings per share to please the financiers, corporate managers will see once again how to use their ingenuity to produce products, services, and business processes that not only provide generous profits but sustain a business—and its jobs—for years to come. By heeding Buffington's call, the U.S. can rekindle its zeal for innovation, leading to an era in which consumers, workers, investors, and managers all prosper.
