Thank you! Thanks for the author/narrator/performer, Propaganda.
Thanks for all the prior reviews that compelled me to give this artist and this artwork a try.

Far beyond many run-of-the-mill self-help genre titles, this one resonates. This is a great listen!
The 'vibes' of the author, narrator and book all ring powerfully and true. Highly recommended.

Story
Ziwe made a name for herself by asking guests like Alyssa Milano, Fran Lebowitz, and Chet Hanks direct questions. In Black Friend, she turns her incisive perspective on both herself and the culture at large. Throughout the book, Ziwe combines pop-culture commentary and personal stories that grapple with her own (mis)understanding of identity. From a hilarious case of mistaken identity via a jumbotron to a terrifying fight-or-flight encounter in the woods, Ziwe raises difficult questions for comedic relief.

Story
Luvvie Ajayi Jones is known for her trademark wit, warmth, and perpetual truth-telling. But even she's been challenged by the enemy of progress known as fear. She was once afraid to call herself a writer, and nearly skipped out on doing a TED talk that changed her life because of imposter syndrome. As she shares in Professional Troublemaker, she's not alone.

A Standout Speaker and Philosophy
Reviewed: 03-17-25
I went out of my way to listen to this book because of the 4,8 out of 5-star rating (1,385 reviews). I listened because I want to reach women, especially women of color, for this and other blogs that I do. I listened because I have daughters. Luvvie Ajayi Jones's advice and reach are geared toward the underprivileged.
The advice is good for men, too, if they take the time to listen - really listen. I was only ten years old when I realized I was privileged. I was a young white male in America. At that time, when I realized my privilege, I couldn't imagine being any luckier than I felt myself to be. If women and people of color can face the extra hurdles to success they face every day, men should be able to learn and grow and succeed relatively easily and do so NOT at the expense of non-white, non-male, non-cis folks.
Luvvie Ajayi Jones delivered. Though I got sidetracked - I had to look up her very popular TED Talk and give it a listen or three, which led me to her podcast, then her website, and her blog - after which I returned directly to her book. Her voice is a great power for convincing yourself that "the enemy within" is the only enemy you need really fear. When you conquer the enemy within, you're on solid ground to square off against any external foe. Her voice, willingly absorbed, is your reason to go boldly where you must go and to forthrightly do the things you must do. She helps you define who you are and what you believe - and believe in - in an off-beat and upbeat fashion. We all feel out of place at times. Luvvie convinces you to convince yourself you're never out of place. Whoever you are, you are enough!
The author narrated very well. Her voice was authentic, conveying nuance, emphasis, and emotion to the listener. I'm not a fan of vulgarity, but her words didn't offend because they sounded like punctuations in normal conversation. She used profanities justly, not gratuitously. I enjoyed listening at 1.0 speed (normally, I have to speed up the delivery a bit).

Whenever I tell people about my job as a financial advisor, the conversation inevitably turns to how hopeless they feel when it comes to dealing with money. More than once they've begged, "Just tell me what to do." It's no surprise that even my most successful friends feel confused or paralyzed. Even if they have a shelfful of personal finance books, they don't have time to make sense of all the information available.

Professional, Heartfelt Codes for Business & Life
Reviewed: 03-05-25
Rich with real-world anecdotes and experiences, the author generously gives women methods to make progress towards and beyond six figures, and a virtual 'sounding board' for reasoned decision-making via success stories and occasional cautionary tales.
Men can profit from a listen as well. The portions that deal with predominantly women's issues are not belabored, and will give thoughtful men some insights and, hopefully, enlightenment.
Narration is near perfect.
A genuinely recommended listen.

Researchers estimate that the average person will influence up to eighty thousand people over the course of their lifetime—or 2.8 people daily. That’s a stadium full of people whom each of us affects in ways positive or negative, sometimes without us realizing. What if we paid attention to this fact? Would we live differently? Would we lead differently? Would we put down our phones and be more present with the people in front of us?

Essential Guide for Visionaries and Integrators
Reviewed: 02-16-25
Rocket Fuel by Gino Wickman and Mark C. Winters is a must-read (or in this case, a must-listen) for entrepreneurs, business leaders, and anyone striving to build a high-functioning leadership team. Narrated by Mark C. Winters, the Audible version is engaging and easy to follow, making complex business dynamics accessible and actionable.
The book introduces the powerful Visionary-Integrator dynamic, explaining why businesses thrive when a big-picture visionary partners with a detail-oriented integrator. Wickman and Winters provide a clear framework for understanding how these roles complement each other and offer practical strategies to find, nurture, and work with the right business counterpart.
From my point of view, Rocket Fuel is also important to the business owner/visionary who does NOT enjoy the complimentary relationship of a top-notch integrator. That's an area the book could have explored and addressed further.
That solo entrepreneur has to deliver the discipline of other self-help, personal development, and motivational works to act as their own integrator. Solo owners/visionaries must continuously communicate - including listening - to others (customers and staff) to develop integrator potential in those around them. Communication is important. So is listening, and actively seeking ideas.
Quite frankly, some of the best integrators are customers, and labor & management staff who come up with visionary nuggets of their own! Developing integrator roles for them compliments their "ownership' of their visionary idea.
Winters’ narration is clear and authoritative. Whether you're a business owner seeking a trusted second-in-command or an operations leader looking to maximize your impact - or you accept the responsibility of you being your own best integrator for a time - Rocket Fuel delivers invaluable insights. Highly recommended for entrepreneurs looking to scale effectively!
