And the pattern always involved this thing. And I coined a term innovation stack because it had never been described.
if you have a complicated one protects you very, very well
Very simply if you do 14 things and every one of those things is necessary for success, then what are the odds of a competitor successfully copying you?

former federal prosecutors who I interviewed, by the way, from my book, which I co-wrote with Arthur Sinski and Elizabeth Bachman. Talking about this is called Crypto Crack Up where we detail the actual mechanics of how Sam and the other folks at FTX and Alameda committed this fraud.
And I think one of the things that came out in the trial and something that we reported on in our book is the idea that he seemed to use his sort of oddness to his advantage at one point. We have a conversation in the book, Crypto Crack Up, where essentially one of his executives is like, dude, you're wearing a pair of shorts and like, like a radial T-shirt. Can you just like put on a suit?

If it actually is the future of money, if it was this transcendent thing that was going to solve all the problems of the legacy financial institutions and make everybody rich, then why do you care what I'm saying about it?
Why are you so triggered, bro?
I loved that they were like, you're just this two bit actor and you're like, I'm sorry, BitBoy 327 939. I haven't lived up to your standards of excellence.
The Hollywoodization of crypto is a moral disaster. These rich and famous entertainers might as well be pushing payday loans or seating their audience at a rigged blackjack table.

Creating Our Identities from Da Vinci to the Kardashians
It was written for women of color; the author felt that the women's movement should have focused more on financial freedom. She felt the term "entrepreneur" wasn't far-reaching enough for women, and "self-made" better captured the continuous process of self-improvement and financial independence.

It was written for women of color; the author felt that the women's movement should have focused more on financial freedom. She felt the term "entrepreneur" wasn't far-reaching enough for women, and "self-made" better captured the continuous process of self-improvement and financial independence.
I wrote Self-Made for women of color because I felt like, you know, I was looking at how we were all raised and at least, you know, sort of in the white woman world, the women's movement had happened and there was the beginning of a conversation about money.
if I had to do it all over again, I realized like the women's movement should have talked about money because without money, without personal financial freedom, you're not liberated and you're certainly not empowered.
So to me, I felt like the word entrepreneur, I talked to a lot of women. It felt like very kind of not far reaching for women, right? And I realized Self-Made had a different connotation, right?
It's not just an entrepreneurial connotation, but it's this idea that to make it to the end of your life, you're going to have to DIY yourself from the inside out over and over again.
Self-Made is your lifetime journey that includes, and at the top of that list is your finances, right? And your health.

In her memoir, Alexis Haines detailed her experiences with sexual abuse, addiction, and the aftermath of her involvement in the Bling Ring, highlighting the complexities behind the media's portrayal of her story.
I think a lot of people like really want that picture perfect life, you know, where it's just like white picket fence, mom and dad stayed married. You know, they grew up playing violin and doing dance classes and that you know what I mean? Like that's nice in theory. But without going through the amount of hardship that I went through which stemmed all the way back from early childhood abuse that started when I was four. Like without that childhood abuse, I would not be the woman that I am today.
My third book, Becoming Superwoman talks about what I thought was my biggest weakness and all of my childhood trauma and abuse. And I thought it was the thing that was going to bring me down. But it actually became my biggest superpower once you reframe it and you look at it that way.

Avis Cardella, the author and a recovering shopping addict, recounts her experience of shopping addiction in her book, "Memories of a shopping addict." She describes the highs and lows, the emotional and financial consequences, and her journey to recovery.
As I wrote in my book, I spent memories of a shopping addict.
In the book, I describe the first moment I knew something was wrong, which I call the "Cossabella incident."
I was shopping to escape from other things, from emotions. And that was for me a first indication of that my shopping wasn't normal.
When my mother died I think I looked to shopping as a comfort zone and as something to do to build a sense of myself because my sense of myself seemed to have been kind of demolished and just destroyed and I built this almost shell of Avis.
It was a shell. It was an empty part inside and that was like one of those Easter eggs that you crack open and there's nothing inside. It's like the chocolate egg that's hollow inside and it was that hollowness inside that eventually got to me I think and that's I think for a lot of shopping addicts there's that component.
