Featuring a Foreword by #1 New York Times bestselling author Jocko Willink. The U.S./Mexican border stretches nearly 2,000 miles and is protected by a thin line of overworked and underfunded U.S. Border Patrol Agents, who risk their lives every day. Stigmatized in the media and fought over in the halls of Washington D.C., this is the true story of what is really happening on the U.S./Mexican border. Borderline provides an inside look through the eyes of former U.S. Border Patrol agent, Vincent Vargas, who is no stranger to violence, having served in Iraq and Afghanistan with the U.S. Army’s 75th Ranger Regiment. The story begins on the battlefields of the Middle East and culminates on the southwest border of the United States, where Vargas was tasked with protecting his country, his fellow agents, and the immigrants caught in the middle. He learned firsthand about the unforgiving brutality of the cartels, human traffickers and the desert. After bearing witness to the carnage, Vargas made the decision to join the Border Patrol’s elite search & rescue unit called BORSTAR. With almost unfettered access, Vargas provides an in-depth, never-before-seen look into the U.S. Border Patrol, from the agency’s origins to its present-day missions.

The e-book has a great meld of approachable personal stories, as well as research-based statistics that really hit home on the importance of psychological safety in the workplace. What People Are Saying: "As girls, we were taught that we could be anything we wanted to be. The women who came before us fought for our rights for, well, everything. The right to vote. Equal pay. The ability to work in any field we were passionate about. The list is endless. At the same time, we were told we could also be great mothers and partners and sisters and daughters and friends. We could have it all! "It turns out, that's a farce. Maybe you can have it all, but you can't have it all at the same time. "Beyond the Mask" is an eye-opening discussion about trauma, mental health, culture, society—and how to change the conversation so we don't burn out with chronic fatigue, PTSD, or worse. It will help you not only learn how to break your glass ceiling, but be OK with having it all during different stages of your life." — Gini Dietrich, founder and author, Spin Sucks

Jon Pethke, CEO and Co-Founder of CoyAmore, The Dating App for Introverts Coyamore.com Here are some key points from the podcast transcript: Guest John Pethke is the founder of CoyAmore, a new dating app designed for introverts. Many existing apps can be overwhelming for introverts with constant notifications/messages. CoyAmore aims to provide a calmer experience. The app has a unique matching algorithm based on users' ranked love languages to find good compatibility. One novel feature for introverts is a toggle for indicating interest in a date without having to directly ask the person. As a first-time entrepreneur, Pethke has learned business is a rollercoaster - do thorough research and have patience. Marketing is very hard for dating apps - connecting with communities and gaining word-of-mouth are crucial. Dating app challenges include fake profiles, excessive filtering in photos, people seeking attention not relationships. New solutions could help. Direct human interaction is fading from society with technology/busyness; shared activities like meals build bonds. CoyAmore aims to help introverts date in a less overwhelming way. Thoughtful matching and features catered to them aim to provide a calmer experience. In summary, CoyAmore is a dating app experiment seeking to solve common problems for introverts through smart design. Its founder hopes to facilitate more real dating and human connection.

White House Wild Child: How Alice Roosevelt Broke All the Rules and Won the Heart of America by Shelley Fraser Mickle https://amzn.to/3Q78PID The fascinating historical biography of America’s most memorable first daughter, Alice Roosevelt, whose free spirit and status made her the Princess Diana and Jackie O of the early 20th century. Perfect for readers of female-centric biographies like The Daughters of Yalta and for fans of the glitzy drama of The Gilded Age and The Crown. “I can do one of two things, I can be President of the United States or I can control Alice. I cannot possibly do both.”—Theodore Roosevelt During Theodore Roosevelt’s presidency—from 1901 to 1909, when Mark Twain called him the most popular man in America—his daughter Alice Roosevelt mesmerized the world with her antics and beauty. Alice was known for carrying a gun, a copy of the Constitution, and a green snake in her purse. When her father told her she couldn’t smoke under his roof, she climbed to the top of the White House and smoked on the roof. She became the most famous woman in America—and even the world—predating Princess Diana and Jackie Kennedy as an object of public obsession. As her celebrity grew, she continued to buck tradition, push against social norms, and pull political sway behind the curtain of privilege and access. She was known for her acerbic wit and outspoken tendencies which hypnotized both the social and political world. Brilliantly researched and powerfully told, Shelley Fraser Mickle places the reader in the time and place of Alice and asks what would it have been like to be a strong-willed powerful woman of that day. Drawn from primary and secondary sources, Alice’s life comes into focus in this historical celebration of an extraordinary woman ahead of her time.
