Spiral: A Catalyst for Innovation and Expansion

Discover a new creative framework to help you transform your biggest ideas from imagination to reality, fusing the practicality of engineering design methodology with the magic of alchemy.

Spiral is an epic weaving of threads from engineering, design thinking, spirituality, business, and physics that will empower you as both a business builder and as a human. Rather than a step-by-step process for success that can feel like fighting the tide, this book acts as a guide to building your business on your own terms, in harmony with your own natural rhythms.

Based on her personal experience as a spacecraft systems architect, a serial entrepreneur, and a business strategy coach, Amy Simpkins offers simple-yet-powerful tools to approach the creative process as a whole person. Whether you are creating disruptively innovative solutions, a world-changing business, or a life that lights you up, Spiral helps you integrate all of the random, varied parts of yourself so that you are free to shine your brightest.

The Gratitude Connection
Gratitude is a powerful catalyst for happiness.  It’s the spark that lights a fire of joy in your soul. Gratitude is a high-energy emotion;  once you start feeling it, it seeps into everything in your life, like air. Pretty soon it becomes a lifestyle and transforms you in subtle ways: You smile at someone you disagree with. You wake up in a good mood. You hug your loved ones and leave your fear and worry behind. You notice the beauty in nature. You shake off fear and face new situations with confidence.

Resilient Americans: We may not have it all together, but together we have it all

Anything that alienates and divides us leaves us weak and exposed to disaster. Simple human compassion is more essential to our national resilience and strength than most of us recognize. Shallow values won’t suffice as the foundation
of our social and cultural infrastructure. With anecdotes and unexpected stories about growing up during the 60s and 70s
in Los Angeles and from her work in disaster recovery, Diane Burden Cox illustrates the importance of our relationships with each other to our national resilience. If we want a resilient built infrastructure as a nation–clean water supply, buildings, bridges, roads, energy grids, health and education systems–we need to recognize it rests on the strength of our interactions with each other.
Resilience isn’t just one more thing to put on our national to-do list, it’s something we can actually enjoy and have fun cultivating together.

The Family Business Playbook (Series)

The Family Business Playbook discusses how family business is different from Corporate America and government work. It is unlike any other career journey. Throughout the book I look at how the family and the business are a reflection of each other. The values, experience, education, and financial intelligence of the family mirrors that of the business. This codependency creates both comfort and conflict; it allows for full exposure between work and family; and it can include the best and worst experiences. Many times, those who have never been part of a family business do not understand the complexity of mixing home and business.

This book takes a different approach. I tell funny stories and describe crazy events and different work complexities. My direct approach of how to confront complex family and business problems reduces the feeling of isolation of working in a family business. For your learning experience and to improve your business, I  share how I improved, grew, and succeeded in family business by relating the concepts, strategies, and even the real-life stories of the ups and downs of my family business.

My Mother, The Gorilla: The Wild and Wacky Life Adventures of a Singing Telegramist

For nearly 30 years, Vicki Wind ran a business yet “never worked a day in her life.” This feeling of being where you belong and doing what you are meant to be doing, is her wish for all of us.
In My Mother, the Gorilla, Vicki invites us to share her memories of hilarious escapades in the singing telegram business as yes – a gorilla, but also a chicken, a 7-foot banana, Midnight Mary the Bag Lady, Surly Shirley the Waitress from Hell, and the dreaded sister Mary Constipation, among countless other characters.
What started out as a collection of true stories to share with her grandkids has become this laugh-out-loud, inspiring memoir to share with the world.
My Mother, the Gorilla reminds us, all at once, that finding your own “voice” is essential to a happy life, that possibilities are endless at any age, and that everyone has a story to tell.

Raised in a chocolate factory, educated in Catholic school, and trained as a radiation chemist, Vicki finally found her true self in a gorilla suit. Now retired and living in Evergreen Colorado, Vicki finds great joy living a mile and a half above sea level, communing with the wildlife she loves, and having the perfect backdrop to finally get down on paper stories about her own WILD LIFE.

Your Favorite Films: How movies can support your mental health

This book is about my struggles with serious mental health issues and how I’ve used watching movies as a way to cope with my symptoms. It’s about how I connect with my fellow film fans. It’s about how researchers and mental health workers have found that watching movies can soothe people and help them learn more about themselves.

I hope that reading about my mental health journey will help you with any psychological issues you may have, even if you aren’t diagnosed with anything; that you might choose watching movies to be one of your coping skills; that you might think about how to choose to watch movies that will help you the most on your journey; and that reading about these twelve movies will help you and persuade you to watch or rewatch them. Enjoy!

Audrey Brazeel

Generation Nanny
“My parents didn’t send their daughter to college so I could become a nanny. None of my Anthropology degree required changing diapers, folding laundry, or how to navigate awkward conversations with Dads, but if I want to move out of my parents house before I turn 30, I have to get creative…”

Through a series of adventures from the beaches of California to styrofoam cups in Mississippi, Audrey meanders through her 20’s as a nanny for 10 families of various status, structure, and stability. Resorting to a timeless domestic role to cope with high unemployment rates and even higher rent prices, Generation Nanny highlights an experience shared by many millennial women in America. This seemingly current experience also transcends time- dedicated to her mother’s nanny who raised her in the deep South, Audrey tells a story about Women of all generations, races, and walks of life and their will to care for others. In an age where women are using their voice to ignite change, this book reveals a universal truth that when women bind together to support each other’s families, careers, and lives, anything is possible.
