"Change is Accelerating.Managing a chamber of commerce and providing leadership in a community have never been more challenging. Navigating complexity is certainly more than showing up at a picnic and tossing a horseshoe, hoping to get a ringer. It takes intelligence, strategy, and focus to win prosperity.
In Horseshoes vs. Chess, veteran chamber executive and former mayor Dave Adkisson shares the insights he gained from more than 40 years observing chambers of commerce – as a CEO of three very different chambers (a small city chamber, a metro chamber, and a state chamber), as a two-term mayor of his hometown, as a former assistant to a U.S. Senator, and as a chamber leader on the national level.
Horseshoes vs. Chess offers the lessons Adkisson wishes he had known when he started. He explores four distinct aspects of living in “Chamber World:”
- Chamber Leaders’ Distinct Personalities and Skill Sets
- Chamber Leaders Building Their Chambers to New Heights
- Chamber Leaders Helping Shape Their Communities
- Chamber Leaders Growing Professionally
With compelling stories of victories as well as disappointments, Adkisson celebrates the incredible opportunity chamber leaders have to help their chambers and communities navigate modern challenges and gain greater prosperity."
"This audiobook has been narrated by a digital voice created using AI. A cowboy billionaire who's rough around the edges, the woman he ghosted last Christmas, and their second chance at happily-ever-after.
Ames Hammond loves rules and organization, and his job as a cop gives him the structure he craves. But he quit that job months ago, and he has no idea what he should be doing with his life. He tries taking a job in Three Rivers, Texas, but when he accidentally nails his thumb to the wall, he's got no one to help him.
While in the drugstore, he runs into someone he least expected to--Sophia Cooke, the woman he spent time with last fall...and didn't call back over the holidays.
Sophia is as shocked to see Ames in Three Rivers as he is to see her. She's in town getting ready to help Marcy and Wyatt Walker with the move to Coral Canyon, as she'll be nannying for them that summer. She's hurt he's in Texas when the reason they broke up last year was because he refused to leave Colorado.
Their past is fraught with bumps and potholes...do they have any chance of building a future together that will hold?
Can she tame the bad boy into admitting he belongs in Coral Canyon with her? Or will Ames lose his chance at a forever love because of his dreams and indecision?"
"A cowboy billionaire beast, the woman he asks out in front of everyone, and the family traditions that softens his heart and bring Cy and Patsy together.
When Cy Hammond loses his girlfriend and then his custom motorcycle shop, he needs a fresh start. He sets his sights on Coral Canyon, because the majority of his family is there now.
When he attends a tree-lighting ceremony at Whiskey Mountain Lodge, he's unprepared for the attraction between him and a certain blonde...who's tried to run him over before.
Patsy Foxhill didn't mean to nearly hit Cy the day she met him at her family orchard. The land had been in her family for generations, and her sister's mismanagement of it caused them to have to sell some of the land. She was distressed. She also hasn't forgotten about Cy Hammond. So when he asks her out over the speaker system at the lodge, Patsy can only say one thing. Yes.
As they start to spend more time together, she realizes Cy has a bit of a beastly streak, but as she truly gets to know the cowboy billionaire behind the beast, she realizes what a good heart he has.
Can Patsy's faith in Cy rejuvenate his trust in women? Or will he let everyone down...including himself?"
"Every investor wants a dependable advantage that enables them to beat the market. Every investor wants an edge.
One such edge, long thought to be accessible only to institutional investors, can be found in event-driven investing strategies. These strategies allow you to recognize and take advantage of the effect of corporate events on the price of stocks - events including mergers and acquisitions, stock buybacks, and spin-offs.
Now, in The Event-Driven Edge in Investing, accomplished multi-strategy investor Asif Suria provides a simple, in-depth introduction to these highly profitable strategies, making them available to all investors.
The Event-Driven Edge in Investing teaches you how to:
- Utilise merger arbitrage as a counter-cyclical investment option that can gain better risk-adjusted returns than bonds.
- Follow what company insiders are doing to generate new investment ideas.
- Track stock buybacks to better understand whether a company's board of directors and management are aligned about the company's value.
- Use spin-offs to unlock value in either the spin-off or the newly unburdened parent company.
With Asif's guidance, you too can identify and profit from the event-driven edge in investing."

"A graceful, biblical way to reclaim sanity for the home and dignity for the suffering spouse in a dysfunctional or dangerous marriage.
Thousands of conscientious believers wanting to honor the sacred vows they took before God suffer in dysfunctional, even dangerous marriages. Each and every day they must choose between the lesser of two evils: divorce without sound biblical support or a life of perpetual, unrelenting misery. Somewhere between the secular disregard for the commands of Christ and the sacred unwillingness to deal with real problems of people, there is a way.
The redemptive divorce process is designed to honor the sacredness of the union while offering practical relief for the suffering partner and tough love for the offending spouse. In some cases, it might even be the catalyst for the restoration and rebuilding of the marriage.
A helpful guide with worksheets for implementation and other resources are included in the audiobook companion PDF download."
"She's best friends with the single dad cowboy's brother and has watched two friends find love with the sexy new cowboys in town. When Gray Hammond comes to Whiskey Mountain Lodge with his son, will Elise finally get her own happily-ever-after with one of the Hammond brothers?
Elise Murphy tends to the grounds and animals at Whiskey Mountain Lodge—and she's just fine working with plants and animals who don't talk back. She's shy and petite, but is finding her place among the louder Whittaker family the longer she works for them. She's also incredibly lonely and tired of being on the sidelines. But she doesn't know how to break out of the mold she's lived in for so long, despite her best friend's urgings to do so.
If her best friend wasn't one of the Hammond brothers, who's so full of charm and confidence, Elise might think he actually understood.
Gray Hammond has visited Whiskey Mountain Lodge in the past, and with his parents off on a cruise for the holidays and his job at the family company wrapped up, he decides to take his son to the lodge for Christmas to visit his two older brothers who now live in Coral Canyon.
When he gets introduced to Colton's best friend, Gray can hardly remember who he is or where he came from. What he knows is Elise is gorgeous, and her shy spirit is exactly what his more analytical mind likes. He has no job to get back to, and plenty of reasons to keep all women out of his son's life.
His life too, he tells himself. But he can't help the gravitational pull to Elise, and as they get to know each other, he wonders if they could make a relationship—and a family—work.
Can Elise find true love with her best friend's brother? Or will Gray's fears and worries about his son keep them on neutral ground?"
"Rick Joyner says, 'We have tended to over-focus on the end of the age-the end times. But this is not just the end, it's the beginning of a new age when Christ will rule over the earth! For the church to reclaim the high ground of hope for the future, we must begin to proclaim the beginning, the coming of the kingdom.' In A Prophetic Vision for the 21st Century, Joyner discusses why revival tarries for America, what it means to be delivered from the Mark of the Beast, the rise and fall of America, the greatest awakening, a famine in the land, and practical ways to serve in the latter days. It includes encouragement for weary church leaders as well as the second part of The Hordes of Hell are Marching, illustrating the unified church rising as an army in the most pivotal battle of all time between the light and darkness."
"She broke up with him to date another man...who broke her heart. He's a former CEO with nothing to do who can't get her out of his head. Can Wes and Bree find a way toward happily-ever-after at Whiskey Mountain Lodge?
Breeann Richards plans events that everyone loves at Whiskey Mountain Lodge, where she lives and works. But when it comes to matters of the heart, she fears hers has been broken ten times too many, most recently by a man who made her pay for everything. So much so, that Bree had to get a second job to make ends meet.
Not only that, but she can't get Wesley Hammond out of her head, and she's never even met him. They texted and called a lot once, but she broke up with him and is too embarrassed to reach out to him now that she's single again.
Wesley Hammond recently retired from being the CEO of his family's multi-billion-dollar business, and he's spent the last six months on a bucket list quest to visit every state in the US. When he rolls into Wyoming - state number 40 - he plans to meet his brother for lunch.
And hears the female voice that has haunted him since last Christmas.
Bree's voice.
He takes a job at the lodge where she works just to be near her, and a new relationship quickly forms between them. But Bree has secrets she hasn't told anyone...a terrible, awful event from her past that has shaped who she is and how she trusts those around her--including Wes. Can they navigate their challenges to find happily-ever-after?"

"All the maid at Whiskey Mountain Lodge wants for her birthday is a handsome cowboy billionaire. And Colton can make that wish come true—if only he hadn’t escaped to Coral Canyon after being left at the altar...
Annie Pruitt has worked for the Whittaker brothers for years, and now with the lodge a full-fledged mountain resort, she's the full-time maid up the canyon. She's watched all these people come through Whiskey Mountain Lodge who've found love.
And she wants to be next.
When the whole family gathers for Annie's birthday party, they tell her to make a wish. Easy, peasy. She wishes for a cowboy billionaire of her own, and not five minutes later, in walks tall, broad, beautiful Colton Hammond.
Colton needs a place to stay after his fiancée leaves him standing at the altar with all of his friends and family watching. He's put Colorado in his rear-view mirror and he's not going back. He's also not interested in women or dating. He just needs somewhere to stay for a few nights, and he's heard great things about Whiskey Mountain Lodge--but not, apparently, that it's closed for a private event every year during the holidays.
But the Whittakers are nothing if not kind and accommodating, and they manage to find a bed for Colton. Sparks fly between him and Annie when she starts asking him questions, and with so many meddlers at the lodge, he and Annie really don't stand a chance of just ignoring each other.
Will Annie's birthday wish come true? Or will Colton's scarred heart keep them from achieving happily-ever-after?"
