Big news for "Greed to Do Good"! When Kirkus Reviews selects a book for their March issue, it’s an achievement. But when they give it the biggest cover image and the most prominent space in the indie section? That’s something worth celebrating.

At the New Orleans Book Festival at Tulane University from March 27-29, Scott Cowen will take the stage to share what true leadership looks like, especially in moments of crisis. As the former president of Tulane University, he led through Hurricane Katrina, rebuilding a devastated institution and city. Later, he stepped in as interim president of Case Western Reserve University during COVID-19, guiding another community through uncertainty. His book, "Lead and Succeed," isn’t about generic leadership advice. It’s a hands-on guide, filled with real experiences and interactive exercises to help future leaders develop resilience, self-awareness, and the confidence to step up when it matters most. If you’re serious about leadership, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss!

What makes a story truly impactful? When it challenges the way we see the world. And ourselves. The February issue of Authentic Insider Magazine featured two of our authors, each offering a powerful perspective on resilience, relationships, and personal growth. → Paul Boskind’s "The Blind Man Game" is a memoir of art, activism, and adaptation. His story brings readers into the moments that shaped him—confronting barriers, pushing for change, and redefining what’s possible. → Dr. Kimberly Horn’s "Friends Matter, For Life" explores the essential role of friendship in our well-being. In a time when loneliness is on the rise, she offers a framework for building deeper, more meaningful connections. These books challenge us to think differently, to see each other more clearly, and to recognize the impact we can have in the lives of those around us.

Most investors play it safe. The best ones rethink what’s possible. Marcia Dawood sat down with Dale Gillham on Talking Wealth to break down lesser-known, high-impact investing strategies that don’t just deliver returns. They drive real change. From equity crowdfunding to revenue-based financing, Marcia shares how investors can tap into innovative funding models to support entrepreneurs, fuel social progress, and unlock new financial opportunities. She also highlights the role of platforms like Scroobious, which help match founders with the right investors—ensuring capital goes where it can have the biggest impact.

Writing a book isn’t about making money. It’s about making an impact. Last year, we dug into the real ROI of publishing—not just book sales, but the business growth, speaking gigs, and credibility that come with it. Roger Dooley just broke it all down in Forbes, sharing key insights from our Author ROI Survey and what business authors need to know before they publish. One of the biggest takeaways? A book isn’t the end goal. It’s the launchpad. Read the full piece here: https://lnkd.in/ea-JGV4q #Publishing #AuthorROI #BookMarketing

Some conversations change the way you think about leadership. Last week, APG CEO Naren Aryal attended "Create the Future: A Conversation with Rick Williams and Amy Edmondson" at the Harvard Club of Boston, where industry leaders gathered to discuss how high-stakes decisions are made. Rick, author of "Create the Future," shared his five-step framework for turning uncertainty into action—giving leaders a structured approach to defining challenges, creating options, and choosing the best path forward. And if you’ve ever read Amy's work, you know that decision-making isn’t just about strategy. It’s about creating the right conditions for great decisions to happen. → The best leaders don’t just make choices. → They create space for debate. → They challenge assumptions. → They create trust. Because the biggest risk isn’t making the wrong decision. It’s failing to make one at all. It was a thought-provoking discussion with two experts shaping the way we think about leadership, risk, and the future!

Some books challenge you. Some books change you. These do both. This March, we’re releasing two powerful reads: One that pushes you to grow, and one that guides you through life’s toughest moments. ?? "Grow. Grow Right. Grow Right Now." by Jaime Hepp Personal growth isn’t just about moving forward. It’s about growing the right way. Jaime Hepp spent 14 years writing this book for his children, and now he’s sharing it with the world. Through engaging stories and timeless wisdom, this book will make you laugh, reflect, and rethink how you show up in life. ?? "Diagnosed: The Essential Guide to Navigating the Patient’s Journey" by Brenda Snow A diagnosis can turn your world upside down, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. Drawing from 30 years of living with chronic illness and 25 years of guiding patients, Brenda Snow offers a roadmap for reclaiming control, hope, and purpose after a life-changing diagnosis. Two books. Two different journeys. Both have the power to stay with you long after the last page.
