Books I Recommend You Read That Have Impacted My Professional Career.
“Iron Sharpened Leadership”
U.S. ARMY Major General John Gronski
I have read many of Books However “Iron Sharpened Leadership” directly hits home very closely. Because my friend Major General John Gronski takes a challenge and shares through personal lessons learned in Battle and Military Life. How anyone in any community role can use ” PERSONAL SERVICE” and other core values to forge rock solid trust as the foundation of cooperation within work and life. This is book is a MUST READ and or Listen!
Interestingly the General has been a personal mentor of sorts for me and several other Soldiers, Sailors, and Marines, and we share many personal friends within our small community.
Breaking History: A White House Memoir
Jared Kushner
Next on my Favorites list is “Breaking History: A White House Memoir” Jared Kushner is someone who needs no introduction. In fact? I could see Jared being a Chairman of one of my Companies some day soon. I haven’t asked him yet. However I am sure he would seriously consider it. LOL All things aside after reading this book and what I know about the First Trump Administration Jared Kushner does not get enough credit for the really good progress that has happened within that Administration. I am gonna receive pushback for this. But that’s ok. Jared has demonstrated complete unfaltering strong leadership working beside a few impossible People who were stabbing him in the back during that Administration. Add in the Media which was dishonest and you get a distorted misinformed view of Jared’s invaluable service developing policy and negotiations for the Abraham Accords, and serving alongside President Trump. And this is why you must read Jareds Book. Breaking History.
For a in depth look at the Kushner Companies and Real Estate Portfolio Visit: Kushner.com
You will learn the truth from a man who was there by President Trumps Side. One of the many reason’s I really like Jared? He reminds me of myself of just being a Entrepreneur who is always learning new skills and navigating a dangerous business political environment. And even occasionally finding out we may be wrong about people. But we take the long term approach. Jared deserves a lot more credit for the Success of the first Trump Administration than he gets. That is a fact. And is also my opinion. Jared is good people. I hope he knows I appreciate him and Ivanka’s support deeply. Spoken from the heart. Click image to buy and read Jared’s Fantastic Book.

ARMY SPECIAL MISSION UNIT (DELTA FORCE) (THE UNIT)
Many Men Strive to the level of these Soldiers. It’s Privilege To Have Known A Few. And have done a few things in service our country.
One of my favorites books and stories I have benefited the most is by
Command Sgt’s Major Eric Haney 75th Ranger – Delta Force Founding Operator
When you read Sgt. Major Eric Haney’s book you will be instantly dialed into the mindset and preparation that goes into a Unit Operators mission skillset. Sharpening your mind and your skillsets is a great way to add to a RockStar Team.
Everything about the Army’s lessons and Sgt. Major Haney personal lessons he shares in his Book. Is applicable to daily life. Personally and Professionally. I live by his example and his mental fortitude to push through impossible obstacles. As should you.
Army Rangers always say when faced with big challenges? “We are just gonna have to Ranger On!”
Guy Spier
“The Education of a Value Investor” -Book
If I could summarize what Guy Spier means to me? He provided the path of my walk into writing all about content related to what I was learning about Professional investing. (Previously I wrote Guy was the Catalyst. However the word writing was left out. I often write on my phone. And this has its challenges.) Guy and Mohnish Pabrai are undoubtedly accepted as Community leaders and experts in the small Community of Content about Value investing. And they mean the world to me. It could be 1am Saturday night and if I got the call they needed me in Subsaharan Africa immediately? I would find my way to them even if I had to charter a Private Jet and Parachute into the Jungle to find them. That’s what they mean to me personally and professionally.
Mr. Mohnish Pabrai
Mohnish is a Proven Entrepreneur and has had a Previous Exit and lauched Pabrai Funds with AUM of over 1 Billion, and wrote one of my top 3 favorite books on Ivesting “Dhandho Investor” I always make it very clear on my Linkedin page: I don’t have a MBA, I Have a Mohnish Pabrai “MDI” (Masters Dhandho Investing)
Mr. Pabrai to me is like the really Cool Uncle and Professor you go to when your trying to solve a particular life equation. Everybody loves this guy. And so do I. He has taught me that being humbly transparent is how we as Value Investors operate through life. If I were to leave you with one thought from Mr. Pabrai’s Book Dhandho Investor? It would be that Investing as a Entrepreneur is simply broken down to flipping a coin and lowering your risk as entrepreneur. “Heads I win. Tails I don’t lose much!” Please check out ““Chai with Pabrai”.
Simon Mann
British Army Elite S.A.S Member, Etonian, London Ambassador, Military Contractor Legend
Cry Havoc (CLICK FOR BOOK)
This book is going to be a long read. But absolutely worth the time.
Everyone Knows how much I adored Simon as a Author and Writer. It Saddens me he is gone now. He died a British Patriot. And natural Adventurer. His Website (CLICK HERE)
Captain Simon Mann is a Former Military Officer who served in the elite British Army Special Air Service S.A.S. Interestingly Simon knew the man himself who founded the S.A.S. And delivered crushing blows to the Nazi War Machine during the British WW2 Africa campaign legendary David Stirling. During the early 2000’s Simon was apart of a Coup to over throw a Oil Rich Equatorial Guinea. The planned Coup did not succeed landing him in International headlines, and inside a Zimbabwe prison cell. His story is worth a read.
Please stay tuned. I am doing some revisions. Because my Safety and life’s safety on US Streets has been compromised.
This list is growing.
