Taylor Swift isn't a singer, songwriter, or entertainer. She's an IP Company-filing over 300 trademarks (and counting), including The Tortured Poets Department, Swiftites, Tayplay, and even her cat's names-Meredith and Olivia Swift. Taylor Swift doesn't protect her IP because she's a big star. She's a big star because she protects her IP. Play-Doh also takes its IP seriously, protecting the scent of its modeling compound with the proprietary description, "Sweet, slightly musky, vanilla fragrance, with slight overtones of cherry, combined with the smell of a salted, wheat-based dough." Even The Coca-Cola Company knows its value is found in its trade secret, not the carbonated beverage it bottles. You're not that different. But sadly, most entrepreneurs don't think they have any intellectual property. Truth is, they just don't know how to find it. The few who do, don't know how to protect it.

"Sorry, you're on your own." Six days before my first international cycling trip, my five friends informed me they were all canceling. I now had a choice. Would I drop too or fly to the heart of the Tour de France and bike some of the hardest mountains in the world all by myself? After a few hours of soul-searching and encouragement from my wife, I decided to go anyway-without a plan, a friend, or even a place to stay. I had no idea the adventures that awaited, only that I had to tap into The E-Mind(TM) and think like an entrepreneur in order to survive. The same Ten Traits that helped me thrive as an entrepreneur became the secret weapon to help me summit over a dozen mountain tops. In today's marketplace, everyone is an entrepreneur.Unfortunately, most people don't know how to think like one. Some believe entrepreneurs make up 4% of the population. They think this minority is brave and bold-focused on start-ups, investors, and risk. This may be the classic definition, but the truth is every single person is a brand and runs a company of one. It's your responsibility to create value, and if you fail to deliver, chances are you'll find yourself without a job. Some reject identifying as an entrepreneur, claiming employee status instead. But even if you work for an employer, you choose to align yourself with that sub-brand. Do something out of alignment, and you'll quickly find out you're no longer a brand match. Time to accept the facts. On some level, you're an entrepreneur. And everyone in every industry would do better by thinking like one. In The E-Mind(TM), you'll learn how to: Exchange fear and anxiety for peace and confidence by changing the rules of the game Tap into the Ten Traits that help entrepreneurs create more success in work and life Experience freedom-to go as you please, finances-to earn as you like, and fulfillment-to live as you like Stop leaving things to chance and circumstance. Take back control of your future. Think like an entrepreneur and gain an exponential advantage starting today!

Poetry served as my secret confidant. In early innocent days, I assembled words like LEGO(R) blocks when my heart felt more than I could speak. On a rare occasion, I presented my poem to a crush, a grade-school girl unsure how to respond. I felt the risk and sometimes the sting. So I returned to my mask, realizing most people weren't ready for honesty. But in the quiet shadows, I didn't need to lie. Poetry became my portal. POETRY. Art to admire? Or gibberish to ignore? Poll social media and you'll soon locate lovers and haters. For writers, poetry is both the safest medium and the scariest, all wrapped into one. We hide our hearts in plain sight. At the same time we bear our naked souls to the most casual passerby. For readers, poetry is both the most polarizing and unifying medium. In one line, we rally around the messenger sent from the stars. In another, we take up weapons for the semi-charged words they dared to craft. This is the paradox, the mystery, the wonder.

The two most important days of your life are the day you are born and the day you discover why. This book is for those who desire the answer to the "why" question, and this answer is found only by taking the Deeper Path. One emotion infects us all--pain. But although pain comes naturally, dealing with it doesn't. Many cope by masking their pain, pushing it below the surface and self-medicating it with apathy, aggression, and addictions. Unfortunately, these strategies only numb our pain and our potential, creating space between us and our purpose. Although we can't escape pain, author Kary Oberbrunner believes that the path of recovery begins when we stop avoiding the ache and instead choose to explore, unmask, and understand our deepest wounds. The answer is not to rid our lives of pain, but to learn how to let our hurts lead us to healing. In this transparent book, Kary shares his own story of overcoming self-injury while integrating relatable examples from education, government, entertainment, business, and faith. With deep compassion and clarity, Kary reveals a profound model that helps the reader move toward freedom and become a soul on fire.

We all have one–a Secret Name that is. The Bible tells us so. Yet few of us know ours. Ignorantly, we’re stuck, caught up in the “Name Game.”Using the story of the biblical patriarch Jacob as a backdrop, author Kary Oberbrunner calls us to stop accepting the world’s labels and start wrestling with God to discover our true identity. Jacob spent years living out the meaning of his earthly name: “deceiver.” Caught up in pretending to be someone he wasn’t, he was unaware that God would build a nation through him, unaware that Jesus would be one of his descendents, unaware of the lands he would inherit. Then he heard God speak his true name and the future God had for him unfolded. Oberbrunner reminds us that we’ll be unable to discern what God wants to build through us until we discover how God has seen us all along. In Your Secret Name, readers will find the courage to abandon what they know in order to become who they were born to be.

What Does It Mean to Be in the World but Not of It? The Answer May Surprise You. Christ-followers are supposed to be the most liberated people ever to walk the face of the earth—with a message powerful enough to cause the dead to rise and the blind to see. We’re supposed to have God living inside of us. We’re supposed to know how to be in the world but not of it. Does that describe your life? Author Kary Oberbrunner suspects the answer is no, but not because you aren’t passionate about Christ. Rather, it’s because the church has been ripped apart and reassembled into two main camps that, at best, casually tolerate each other. The first camp separates itself from people, society, and culture for the main purpose of remaining unstained by the world. While the second camp conforms itself to the ideals, philosophies, and goals of the world in an attempt to be all things to all people. So what’s the alternative? A growing number of people believe in a different way and a different world. They are transformists. And they have the power to change the world. Care to join them?

The Gospel isn't just accepting Jesus into your heart; it's also following Him with your life. Sadly, many people have adopted a concept of discipleship that asks little of them. Jesus calls us to live lives larger than ourselves. This revolutionary book reveals the depths of your calling and provides practical steps how to truly become who you were born to be.
