The art of living dangerously : true stories from a life on the edge / Bangs, Richard
"In 1973 Richard Bangs founded Sobek Expeditions, the original and now largest adventure travel company in the world, with over a million clients guided since its beginning. But this is not just a story of an unusual company, one that profoundly transformed the way we travel and experience the world. It presents true stories, both perilous and awe-inspiring from the full array of adventure travel: trekking, climbing, sailing, diving, adventure cruising, kayaking, back-country skiing, mountaineering, biking, cultural immersions, canyoneering, and more. Sobek pioneered scores of adventures, from trekking in the Himalayas, to cruising the Galapagos and Antarctica, to first descents of some 80 rivers around the world. The author personally led 35 first river descents, capsizing on six continents (a unique, albeit, dubious distinction), and organized and led the first trips into North Korea, Libya, Yemen, Djibouti, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, New Guinea, Iran, and even China back in 1978. Its clients have included Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Mick Jagger, Barry Diller and even a pre-op Caitlyn Jenner. It is the shadow company behind National Geographic Adventures, New York Times Active Journeys, and Smithsonian Expeditions. This book traces 50 years of adventure travel and how it has evolved through times of war and peace, terrorism, the rise if the internet, the pandemic and the first virtual expeditions"--

The five talents that really matter : how great leaders drive extraordinary performance / Conchie, Barry
"Anyone can be a leader. A leader's strengths can be their greatest weaknesses. Those statements touted in many business books. But, according to Barry Conchie and his business partner Sarah Dalton, they are complete BS. The Five Talents That Really Matter explains how high-performing leaders are talented in five essential ways. The Five Talents That Really Matter strips away the fluff in leadership and unveils and describes the traits and characteristics that actually determine high-performance leadership. These talents provide a template against which career-driven managers and leaders can assess and develop their own capabilities. The five evidence-based talent dimensions are: Direction: High-performing leaders describe a compelling, intrinsically good destination and help others understand that getting there will be worth the effort. Drive: This dimension hardly needs a description. We all know it when we see it: strong work ethic, tenacity, goal-orientation ... being a self-starter. Influence: The ability to motivate, persuade, challenge, and change the minds of others. Relationships: People matter to outstanding leaders. They can build commitment and trust among the people they work with. Execution: Excellent leaders are obsessed with getting work done and how work gets done. Through questioning, assessment, scientific predictions, and testing, Conchie and Dalton have built a database that reveals the talents and behaviors of the most successful leaders. In this book they present for the first the first time a model that demystifies the aura and complexity surrounding high performing leaders"--

Token supremacy : the art of finance, the finance of art, and the Great Crypto Crash of 2022 / Small, Zachary
"A New York Times investigative reporter wades into the murky, pixelated waters of the multibillion-dollar NFT market, a virtual casino of speculation and volatility that tests the nature of value itself. In 2021, when the gavel fell at Christie's on the sale of Mike Winkelmann's Everydays series -- a compilation of 5,000 digital artworks -- it made a thunderous announcement: Non-fungible tokens had arrived. The ludicrous world of CryptoKitties and Bored Apes had just produced a piece of art worth 69.3 million dollars (at least according to the highest bidder). On that day, the traditional art market -- the largest unregulated market in the world -- put its stamp of approval on a very new and carnivalesque digital reality. But what did it mean for these two worlds to collide? Was it all just a money laundering scheme? And come on, what was that piece of digital flotsam really worth anyway? In Token Supremacy, Zachary Small works through these and other fascinating questions, tracing the crypto economy back to its origins in the 2008 financial crisis and the lineage of NFTs back to the first photographic negatives. Small describes jaw-dropping tales of heists, publicity stunts, and rug pulls, before zeroing in on the role of "security tokens" in the FTX scandal. Detours through art history provide insight into the myth-making tactics that drive stratospheric auction sales and help the wealthy launder their finances (and reputations) through art. And we cast an eye toward the future of NFTs -- in mortgages, restaurants, securities, and loans -- that could outlive cryptocurrencies, becoming a new and dangerous shadow-banking system in its own right. A wild and spellbinding tour through a world that strains belief."--
