Lessons from the Best on Turning Setbacks into Breakthroughs

Act on 8 percent understanding and build unstoppable momentum from scratch In Unready: The Suprising Advantage of Acting Before You Feel Ready, Soulaima Gourani, a serial tech entrepreneur, Fortune 500 advisor, World Economic Forum Young Global Leader, and venture partner in the space and defense industry, shares the unconventional operating principle behind her rise from seventh-grade dropout to Silicon Valley founder who raised millions in VC funding and won Best AI Product of 2024. Drawing on her own journey and six years of her weekly podcast interviews with global leaders, entrepreneurs, investors, and changemakers, Gourani introduces the 8% Rule: if you understand eight percent of a situation, that is enough to act. Rather than waiting for perfect information, she demonstrates how action creates momentum and how courage outperforms credentials. The book provides a framework for operating boldly when you feel underqualified, underfunded, or underestimated by those around you. Readers will also discover: <ul> <li>How to convert incomplete knowledge into decisive action using the 8% Rule as your operating framework</li> <li>Strategies for building momentum and winning against the odds when resources and credentials are limited</li> <li>Real-world lessons from Gourani's journey raising millions in VC funding and building an award-winning AI company</li> <li>Techniques for overcoming the paralysis of waiting for perfect information before committing to bold moves</li> <li>Practical guidance on prioritizing courage over credentials and choosing action over analysis in high-stakes situations</li> </ul> Unready belongs on the shelf of entrepreneurs, founders, aspiring leaders, and anyone who has ever felt underqualified or underestimated. Gourani's hard-won framework turns uncertainty into a launchpad for decisive, momentum-building action that defies conventional expectations.

The Surprising Advantage of Acting Before You Feel Ready

Unready

A lesson-packed success story for the twenty-first century, from a ninth-generation Kentuckian who imported the Silicon Valley playbook to the heartland, revealing how the entrepreneurial mindset can be applied anywhere, and even to our most stubborn industries. In his case: trash. When Nate Morris decided to build a business, he wasn’t looking to disrupt—he was looking for a problem to solve. Morris believed that the bigger the problem, the more the market would reward him for solving it. And one of the biggest problems, he came to believe, was one that every person, business, and community dealt with on a daily basis, but which was often overlooked: waste. American Trash is the moving story of how a ninth-generation Kentuckian—a boy who grew up being called “white trash”—applied the innovative thinking we associate with Silicon Valley startups to the ancient problem of waste. Raised on the scrappy resourcefulness of his grandfather, president of their local autoworkers’ union, Morris built Rubicon, a waste management company powered by digital technology. Unlike the bloated industry titans of yesterday, Rubicon was asset light: It wouldn’t own landfills, so it would be free of the perverse incentive to fill the land with chemical-laden trash, and it wouldn’t own trucks, so it would support “mom and pop” hauler businesses. Most important, it would be based in Georgia and Kentucky, thousands of miles from the near-sighted culture of Silicon Valley. In telling his story, Morris shows how he combined the great tradition of American entrepreneurship with the lessons of the digital economy—and did it far from the coastal bastions of the technology elite. The result is a blueprint for those seeking to tackle our biggest challenges with creative, free-market solutions.

Hard-Earned Lessons from a Heartland Entrepreneur

American Trash

The contemporary gold industry is a globe-straddling empire. This is the untold story of the power, money and violence that built it. Today, Barrick Gold Corporation is one of the richest and most powerful gold-mining companies in the world. But behind the glitter lies an ugly reality: allegations of environmental destruction, collusion with authoritarian regimes and ruthless criminality. In this masterful corporate saga, investigative journalist Richard Poplak traces Barrick's rise from humble origins to global dominance, exposing the politicians, arms dealers, mercenaries and miners who made it possible - and the activists who risked everything to fight back. Spanning the 1940s to the present, this searing investigation uncovers a shocking history of multinational power and human greed, revealing how it shaped the global economic system as we know it.

The Savage History of a Modern Gold Empire

Midas Men

In 1971, Surinder Arora stepped off a plane at Heathrow, a thirteen-year-old boy with limited English who was sent from the Punjab to find a future in a country so far from home. He had to learn a new language and discover shocking truths about his own family - all while working twice as hard as anyone else to prove his worth.

He never imagined that decades later, he would own the very skyline he first saw from the airplane window. From his early days as a waiter at the Penta hotel and trading on the Blackbushe market stalls to building a billion-pound empire, Surinder's journey is a masterclass in grit and Plan B thinking. Navigating the racial tensions of 1970s Britain, the 2008 financial crash and personal tragedy, he turned a struggle for survival into a legacy of hospitality.

Candid and inspiring, this is the definitive story of how one man conquered the high-stakes world of aviation hospitality.&nbsp;

Risk, Resilience and the Making of a Business Empire

Barefoot Billionaire

A visionary leader in clean and renewable energy tells his incredible personal story and outlines a smart and sane way forward for meeting the world's growing energy needs.Michael Polsky is one of the most important figures in American clean energy--here, he tells the remarkable story of his rise from a penniless young Soviet émigré to leadership in this essential industry. Only a decade ago, many thought that demand for electricity in America might never rise again. Today, AI, cryptocurrency, and electrification are fueling the largest surge in electricity demand in fifty years. Polsky has spent the past four decades building power plants, but even he never expected to see this kind of surge in demand. Most of the companies driving it want electricity produced by clean, sustainable renewable sources, mainly wind and solar power. His journey in clean energy is America's journey too. Inexhaustible intertwines his personal story--an immigrant who arrived in America from the Soviet Union with $500 in his pocket and a few phrases of broken English who, twenty-five years later, founded a multibillion dollar independent energy company--with the story of America's energy evolution from coal and oil to wind and solar power.Polsky's career evolved from working on oil- and coal-powered plants, to generating power from nuclear and natural gas, to renewable energy. It was a natural progression that helped him form a distinct vision of the future, which guided him to what would be the next best way to develop projects and produce electricity. The United States is heading in the same direction, for a simple reason: not because we have all become environmental activists, but because renewable-energy technology just makes sense. It has the potential to create unlimited amounts of energy, and a low-cost, highly efficient, and reliable power system.Polsky's company, Invenergy, is now the biggest privately owned clean-energy business in the US. He was forward-thinking enough to have built a business with a focus on renewable energy. But the challenge Polsky sees for America is that we don't have enough installed renewable-power generation, hooked up to the grid and ready to supply. Because demand for electricity is so unprecedented, the source of the energy is becoming somewhat secondary to the need itself. We're burning more fossil fuels than ever before, reopening mothballed nuclear power stations, and betting on experimental technology.We are entering an era of an "all of the above" approach to generating electricity, driven by the surge in demand and the realization that neither fossil fuels nor renewables alone can meet all our needs. As Polsky sees it, the danger is that our immediate appetites could blind us to the consequences of using all forms of energy: making climate change worse, slowing the energy transition, and the potentially disastrous results of a nuclear accident.Polsky is far from a green warrior or an ecological activist. As a student in his native Kyiv, Ukraine, he was trained in the 1970s to design power plants that burned heavy oil or coal. When he emigrated to the United States in 1976, he worked on nuclear power plants, then on gas-powered plants, and then on power plants that burned coal, oil, and natural gas. The first company he started worked on coal- and natural-gas-fired power plants; his second company developed facilities that burned natural gas, tires, and wood.Today, Polsky and Invenergy are in the renewable-energy business because it is an unprecedented industrial and financial opportunity, offering the chance to create unlimited amounts of energy efficiently, reliably, and at a low cost. It is highly scalable. It is the future toward which technology is taking us. Our choice is not whether or not to switch to renewable energy, but if we will grasp this opportunity or have it forced upon us by crises. As Polsky sees it, there is a smart and forward-looking way to the future, and this book charts what the smart way looks like, and urges us to seize the opportunity it offers.
