Crisis by Design
Paperback – August 1st, 2012
[maxbutton id="1" text="Ebook | $5.99" url="/product/crisis-by-design-ebook/"] [maxbutton id="2" text="Paperback | $19.95" url="#"]There’s been a coup d’état.
It was not a mob of AK-47 wielding militia overthrowing a dictator in a third-world country. This one was different. On April 2, 2009 at a meeting of the G-20 in London, the fiscal autonomy of the United States (and other nations) was quietly turned over to a little known bank with a troubling Nazi past. The story of this coup sounds like something out a Ludlum novel, but this is real and John Truman Wolfe has documented one of the most enormous power grabs in history, the establishment of what international bankers call a GMA, a Global Monetary Authority. How it was done, who did it, and why, is the subject of Crisis by Design, a no-holds-barred expose of a takeover of the planet’s central banks.
Wolfe not only exposes the dark side of this operation, he tells you how you can protect yourself as well as what public policy actions need to occur to take back control of our national economic life. Wolfe does not spew economic psychobabble. Instead, he writes in a smooth and easy-to-understand style. And the message in clear-an international financial coup has occurred. We must protect ourselves as well as our national sovereignty.

Datapoint
Paperback – August 30th, 2012
[maxbutton id="1" text="Ebook | $9.99" url="/product/datapoint-ebook/"] [maxbutton id="2" text="Paperback | $19.95" url="#"]Forget Apple and IBM. For that matter forget Silicon Valley. The first personal computer, a self-contained unit with its own programmable processor, display, keyboard, internal memory, telephone interface, and mass storage of data was born in San Antonio TX. US Patent number 224,415 was filed November 27, 1970 for a machine that is the direct lineal ancestor to the PC as we know it today. The story begins in 1968, when two Texans, Phil Ray and Gus Roche, founded a firm called Computer Terminal Corporation. As the name implies their first product was a Datapoint 3300 computer terminal replacement for a mechanical Teletype. However, they knew all the while that the 3300 was only a way to get started, and it was cover for what their real intentions were – to create a programmable mass-produced desktop computer. They brought in Jack Frassanito, Vic Poor, Jonathan Schmidt, Harry Pyle and a team of designers, engineers and programmers to create the Datapoint 2200. In an attempt to reduce the size and power requirement of the computer it became apparent that the 2200 processor could be printed on a silicon chip. Datapoint approached Intel who rejected the concept as a “dumb idea” but were willing to try for a development contract. Intel belatedly came back with their chip but by then the Datapoint 2200 was already in production. Intel added the chip to its catalog designating it the 8008. A later upgrade, the 8080 formed the heart of the Altair and IMSI in the mid-seventies. With further development it was used in the first IBM PC-the PC revolution’s chip dynasty. If you’re using a PC, you’re using a modernized Datapoint 2000.

The Absurdity of Compromise
Paperback – January 2, 2019
[maxbutton id="1" text="Ebook | $9.95" url="/product/absurdity-compromise-ebook/"] [maxbutton id="2" text="Paperback | $19.95" url="#"]People think compromise is a good thing.
Can anything be “good” that pushes everyone involved to sacrifice something they value?
Compromise has long been accepted as the preferred way to resolve our differences. We do it at work, as entrepreneurs, to settle squabbles between spouses, or when a mother battles a teen. No matter the problem, we go for the compromise. You ever wonder why?
In The Absurdity of Compromise, Donald Grady examines the drawbacks and challenges of conflict and explodes the myth that compromise is the win/win it’s proclaimed to be.
- Avoid the pitfalls of talking past other people
- Learn to listen intelligently and empathetically understand the perspective of others.
- Stop fighting and compromising to everyone’s mutual dissatisfaction.
Want better results but haven’t quite figured out how to get there? This is the book for you.
“Today’s practices often present antagonists with one-sided solutions, leaving each feeling like losers. In Don Grady’s peace-building schemata, everyone comes away a winner. I recommend this lively book to anyone enmeshed in the field of conflict resolution, foreign or domestic.”
Robert W. Farrand

Finally! A book for the corporate newbie that sheds light on the strange and mysterious world of Corporate America…
Often the difference between the hot-shot “brand builders” who rise to corporate success and the “brand burners” who crash and burn early in their careers is seldom about intelligence or even hard work. That would be too straightforward.
Corporate survival and ultimate success are more often about who understands the Unwritten Rules of Corporate America. Who knows—
- How to play the game properly?
- What stupid mistakes to avoid?
- When to raise their hand at the right time and in the right way to claim that shining, brand-building opportunity?
With 70+ years of combined corporate experience, Harrison and Heart share their stories of success and failure in order for the rest of us—corporate newbies and anyone who could use a primer on corporate culture—to best navigate around the common pitfalls and stumbling blocks of the early corporate years.

There’s a potential defect in every person’s retirement portfolio.
It can lay waste to your family and all the years of hard work you and your advisors spent building your nest egg.
Pretty much everyone gets old (unless you die young), and it ain’t cheap.
The expense of aging can wipe out everything you’ve ever worked for. Unfortunately, most advisors have a blind spot when it comes to seeing this defect.
The risk of ignoring this is not worth taking the chance.
It’s far worse than market risk, inflation risk, and taxes.
Your retirement dream can quickly morph into retirement nightmares if you don’t face this head on…before it’s too late…

Understanding that relationships come first and business comes second! That pearl of wisdom and others is what you will take away from Working in Indian Country.
