Book Description
PROPHET MARGIN is a comedy about prophets, charlatans, reality shows, religion, social engineering, and the end of the world.Desperate to save his career, a producer, transforms an unassuming hipster into a celebrity prophet. But when he ignites a volatile mass religious movement he must hustle networks, mobster investors, zealots, and the NSA to keep his reality show alive.Not everything they say about Tommy Knox is true. Sure, Gender Wars was his reality show. Sure, one of the contestants butchered two competitors with an ax in a blind rage. But can you really pin all that on the Executive Producer? Yes, apparently you can. Though technically, he was exonerated. Not one to let a public disemboweling of his character get him down, Tommy is back from producer's jail to pitch a new show that will change the way people think of reality television forever. Religion. A whole new religion. After conning, extorting, and playing every angle to get a development deal, Tommy sets out to invent a religion from scratch. He finds Nava, an unassuming young hipster from Silverlake, and turns him into an online religious celebrity. Exploiting a bit of television magic, some mind-reading psychic tricks, and the viral rage of Internet culture, Tommy turns Nava into the first Prophet of the digital age. After a brutal showdown with a biggoted preacher, Nava becomes as famous as a Hollywood A-lister. Suddenly sponsors are clamoring to have a piece of the dark horse TV Prophet. However, Nava starts telling layered stories that provoke audiences to turn against the sponsors and their cultural masters. A power struggle ensues when Tommy tries to reign in Nava's preaching. A radical spiritualist movement sweeps across the country, and ignites a culture war between those who believe in Nava's miracles and those who dismiss them as nothing more than Hollywood chicanery. The two sides are divided by a thin line drawn in the sand, the PROPHET MARGIN.In the vein of Network, Wag the Dog, Being There, and The Truman Show, Prophet Margin is a comedy that explores the relationship between religion, entertainment, and politics.

Book Description
Lies, manipulation, money, and religious fervor have never been a good mix. Having narrowly avoided a nuclear war, the world turns to religion as they collect themselves. Unfortunately, the religious figures that stand out the most are “prophets” whose messages are whipping the world back into a frenzy. This is not a coincidence. Their collective rhetoric is very intentional, and very dangerous. The Sentinel must untangle the mystery of these false prophets and their endgame before war erupts. Is it really about global war, though?

Book Description
Not everything they say about Tommy Knox is true. After losing his reality show "Gender Wars" in a scandal, Tommy now lives in the ever-expanding afterlife of social media ignominy as collateral damage from the rising tide of Cancel Culture. Not one to let a public disemboweling of his character get him down, He's back from producer's jail to pitch a new show that will change the way people think of reality television forever. Religion. A brand-spankin'-new religion. After conning, extorting, and playing every angle to get a development deal, Tommy sets out to invent a religious reality show that will kick America in its commodified spiritualist ass. He discovers Nava, a sincere and unassuming, young hipster from Silverlake, and turns him into an online guru. Almost overnight Nava's teachings go viral. Hustling like a maniac, Tommy accidentally ignites a radical religious movement that spreads across the entire world like wildfire. To make things worse, Nava buys into his own hype and begins performing miracles. Tommy finds himself swept up in a volatile culture war between Nava's fanatic followers and the finance and media elites who are fighting to control the public narrative -- the two sides divided by a narrow line called "THE PROPHET MARGIN."

Book Description
Author of cult classics The Pumpkin Plan and The Toilet Paper Entrepreneur offers a simple, counterintuitive cash management solution that will help small businesses break out of the doom spiral and achieve instant profitability. Conventional accounting uses the logical (albeit, flawed) formula: Sales - Expenses = Profit. The problem is, businesses are run by humans, and humans aren't always logical. Serial entrepreneur Mike Michalowicz has developed a behavioral approach to accounting to flip the formula: Sales - Profit = Expenses. Just as the most effective weight loss strategy is to limit portions by using smaller plates, Michalowicz shows that by taking profit first and apportioning only what remains for expenses, entrepreneurs will transform their businesses from cash-eating monsters to profitable cash cows. Using Michalowicz's Profit First system, readers will learn that: · Following 4 simple principles can simplify accounting and make it easier to manage a profitable business by looking at bank account balances. · A small, profitable business can be worth much more than a large business surviving on its top line. · Businesses that attain early and sustained profitability have a better shot at achieving long-term growth. With dozens of case studies, practical, step-by-step advice, and his signature sense of humor, Michalowicz has the game-changing roadmap for any entrepreneur to make money they always dreamed of.

Book Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Learn how to apply the principles of Charles Koch’s revolutionary Market-Based Management® system to generate good profit in your organization, company, and life “This book helps show you the way to good profit—whether you work for an international supermarket chain, a medium-sized regional business, or your own start-up.”—John Mackey, co-founder and co-CEO, Whole Foods Market The technological innovations, extreme politics, civil unrest, cyber attacks, demographic shifts, and global pandemic that have affected all businesses since this book was published have only confirmed Charles Koch’s belief that “the only reason a business should exist (and the only way it can legitimately survive long term) is to create value in a responsible way.” Hence, the principles in Good Profit are more important today than ever before. What exactly does Koch Industries, Inc., do and why is it so remarkably profitable? Koch’s name may not be on your home’s plywood, vehicle’s grille, smartphone’s connectors, or baby’s ultra-absorbent diapers but it makes them all. And Koch’s Market-Based Management® (MBM) system is what drives these innovations and many more. The core objective of MBM is to generate good profit. Good profit results from products and services that customers vote for freely with their dollars. It results from a bottom-up culture where employees are empowered to act entrepreneurially to discover customers’ preferences and the best ways to improve their lives. Drawing on six decades of interdisciplinary studies, experimental discovery, and practical implementation across Koch businesses worldwide, Charles Koch walks the reader through the five dimensions of MBM to show how to apply its framework in any business, industry, or organization of any size. Readers will learn how to: • Craft a vision for how to thrive in spite of increasingly rapid disruption and ever-changing consumer values • Select and retain a workforce possessing both virtue and talent • Create an environment of knowledge sharing that prizes respectful challenges from everyone at every level • Award employees with ownership and decision rights based on their comparative advantages and proven contributions, not job title • Motivate all employees to maximize their contributions by structuring incentives so compensation is limited only by the value they create A must-read for any leader, entrepreneur, or student, as well as anyone who wants a more civil, fair, and prosperous society, Good Profit is one of the greatest management books of all time.
