The Next Chapter: One Man’s Journey Into Aging and Life After Retirement by Jeff Luce https://www.amazon.com/Next-Chapter-Journey-Aging-Retirement/dp/B0HMWG3N1Y Aging and retirement are major milestones in people’s lives. Having retired in 2022, and having turned sixty-seven years old, Jeff Luce is in the midst of these two life forces, and it has been traumatic, fun, exciting, and a learning experience. Aging and retirement most often run in parallel, and now, he has collected his thoughts into one book, a book of conversational tone and approach where he shares stories with a friend (you!) about his experiences. You will laugh, cry, learn, and think about your own situation as you travel through The Next Chapter. About the Author Jeff Luce is a sixty-seven-year-old retiree. He holds his BS in pharmacy from Purdue University and Doctor of Pharmacy from Campbell University. Prior to his retirement, he spent ten years as an orthopedic surgery consultant, then worked over twenty-five years in various roles in health outcomes research that led to a life of travel and participating in fun and interesting events. Now, he and his wife enjoy marking off travel destinations and seeing their grandchildren as much as possible. They reside in the beautiful mountains outside of Asheville, North Carolina, admiring the brilliant view from their window every morning.
Reflections on Mountaineering: A Journey Through Life as Experienced in the Mountains (FIFTH EDITION, Revised and Expanded) with Addendum: 2024 by Alan V Goldman https://www.amazon.com/dp/1778830552 Presented as one hundred thirty-eight narrative-style poems, some of which are rhyming and others are in prose or blank verse, Reflections on Mountaineering, A Journey Through Life as Experienced in the Mountains, a FIFTH EDITION, Revised and Expanded summarizes much of what the author, Alan V. Goldman, learned in his more than 30 years of climbing, either from personal experience, or from his mountaineering peers. Mr. Goldman came to realize that many of the same moral issues that confront us in everyday life are likewise present in the high mountains, only to a sharper degree. Still, many of the poems reflect on themes and situations that are peculiarly prominent in the mountain environment. Collectively, the poems constitute a “meditation” on the nature of reality itself as perceived in the context of exploring the limits of human understanding and achievement. Musing on topics such as awe and wonder, fear and how to confront it, the lure of the big mountains, as well as the role of luck, fate and chance, Mr. Goldman makes accessible to the general public the otherwise “hidden” truths that mountaineers often experience. Further, many of the poems address the human perception of reality in the context of the meaning of life itself, and of how climbers impart meaning to the mountains by the very act of climbing them. Other poems deal with the need to confront a mountain’s challenge, the varying perception of time’s passage in the mountains, a climber’s insight and situational awareness in the mountain arena, dealing with the force of a mountain’s presence, and the power of a mountain’s reality. There’s also the phenomenon of the interrelation of these and other topics in a single experience as reflected in any given poem. Of course, the poems deal with the feelings evoked by striving for success in the mountains, but also cope with the trauma of defeat. Above all, there is human meaning to be found in the very preparation and discipline required for mountaineering, as well as in experiencing the elation of conquest, of both the mountains and of ourselves. About the author Alan V. Goldman is a graduate of The Horace Mann School, 1975; Harvard College, 1979; and Harvard Law School, 1982. In addition to his mountaineering adventures, he practiced law for many years, and is now retired.
Wall Street Maverick: Musings on a Career of Innovation, Derivatives, Credit, and Risk by Thomas Jasper Thomas-jasper.com https://www.amazon.com/Wall-Street-Maverick-Innovation-Derivatives/dp/B0H46WQY1M IN THE WALL STREET boom of the 1980s and 1990s, fortunes were made, markets were invented, and the rules were still being written. Where others saw risk, Tom Jasper recognized opportunity, but never at the expense of his ethical code. Wall Street Maverick is as much the story of Jasper’s contributions to derivatives, swaps, and credit markets as it is the story of a career defined by adaptability, curiosity, and a willingness to operate on the edge. He navigated steep learning curves to thrive in a highly competitive—and sometimes cutthroat—environment. This is no typical Wall Street memoir. It is, instead, a front-row account of how one modern financial market was built, told by a man who helped build it. At the start of his career, Jasper stumbled into Lower Manhattan and seized opportunities to transform his trademark high risk tolerance into innovation. He recounts building and running Salomon Brothers’ successful interest rate swap desk (one of the largest in the industry), helping found and co-chair the ISDA by uniting fiercely competitive market participants, and later creating new credit default swap distribution models at Primus Guaranty. Innovation, however, never came without danger. Jasper writes candidly about navigating scandal, global crises, and the 2008 financial meltdown—surviving by staying flexible, surrounding himself with exceptional talent, and never losing his moral compass as he walked the tightrope between risk and respect for the bottom line. Wall Street Maverick offers a rare, honest look at building a career—and an industry—on the knife’s edge between risk and reward.
Run Robbie Run by Jon Pepper https://www.amazon.com/Run-Robbie-Jon-Pepper/dp/B0H116JL73 Jonpepperbooks.com Indelable.com Jon Pepper’s political farce Run Robbie Run is a razor-sharp satire of an American political party at war with itself— and it’s wickedly funny. Set during an election year nomination process, the novel follows two spectacularly unfit candidates: Dewey Fenwick, an 87-year-old former president who can barely stay conscious, and his successor Robbie Crowe, a lazy, self-absorbed billionaire who stumbles into the nomination without earning a single vote. Pepper’s comic gifts are immediately on display. The opening scene, in which campaign aides frantically try to rouse Dewey from a Golden Girls dream before television journalists arrive, is a masterclass in political absurdity. But the novel’s real engine is Robbie — a man so thoroughly unprepared for the presidency that when asked about his vision for America, he offers a few lyrics from What a Wonderful World and tells his aide to write it down. The satire cuts in all directions. The party machine, corrupt billionaire puppet-masters, a fawning media, campus radicals planning “mostly peaceful” firebombings at the Chicago convention — no faction escapes unscathed. The fictional surveillance program “America’s Just Rewards,” essentially a social credit system dressed up in loyalty-points marketing, provides the novel’s chilling undertow beneath all the comedy. The supporting cast is superb: Dinda, the idealistic campaign intern who slowly realizes the party has no actual principles; Senator Hiram Fry, a straight-talking old warhorse who delivers the novel’s most sobering warnings; Lady Janice, the former First Lady desperate to return to the White House; and Marty, Robbie’s long-suffering aide whose deadpan exasperation carries the humor throughout. Pepper writes with the confidence of someone who has watched Washington up close, and it shows. Run Robbie Run is sharp, fast, and bracingly cynical — a comic novel that lands its punches because the absurdity never strays too far from reality. About the author Jon Pepper’s six novels form distinctive set of modern satirical fiction—mainly focused on business, politics, and popular culture. They have won praise from critics and readers alike for their humor, insight, clear prose, and brisk pacing. Jon’s newest novel, “Run Robbie Run,” debuts June 16, 2026. It’s a fast, sharply comic political satire that aims its barbs at the modern campaign machine, media incentives, and the wealthy “do-gooder” class. One review observed: “What makes this work is the voice: brisk, confident, and unapologetically satirical. Pepper writes with a comedian’s timing and a columnist’s eye for hypocrisy.” “Run Robbie Run” is Jon’s sixth novel. It follows his five-book series, “Fossil Feuds,” centered on the wealthy Crowe family’s New York-based energy empire. Intra-family warfare, executive rivalries, crosstown competitors, government regulators, and climate activists threaten to bring it all down. The Crowe family’s battles are sometimes petty, sometimes mean, but they’re always lively, amusing, and deeply human.

Kim shares compelling findings from her research, revealing that high-trust organizations exhibit significantly higher revenue, employee retention, and reputation scores. The conversation offers valuable insights into how leadership can foster trust through clear communication, supportive management, and a strategic approach to embracing technological innovations without alienating employees. Key Takeaways: Trust is a critical element for organizational success, measurable and manageable like any other KPI. Organizations with high levels of trust report higher revenue, employee retention, and customer reputation scores. The introduction and ongoing use of AI represent significant disruptions but offer opportunities for innovation if navigated strategically. Effective communication and transparency from leadership are paramount in managing disruptions and building trust. Leadership development and executive coaching are crucial for managers to address current and future disruptions effectively. Notable Quotes: “Trust has a direct connection to retention, reputation, and revenue.” – Kim Bohr “Trust isn’t a squishy thing; this is real business.” – Kim Bohr “When trust shatters, it’s often because people feel like their leader doesn’t have their back.” – Kim Bohr “AI is by far the most disruptive factor right now, and personal crises are right behind it.” – Kim Bohr “We have agency, we have control, and there are ways to take action that allows us to get through this time more productively.” – Kim Bohr
