Grow Fast, Exit Big In Under 60 Months

“At the core, Hit Refresh, is about us humans and the unique quality we call empathy, which will become ever more valuable in a world where the torrent of technology will disrupt the status quo like never before.” – Satya Nadella from Hit Refresh“Satya has charted a course for making the most of the opportunities created by technology while also facing up to the hard questions.” – Bill Gates from the Foreword of Hit Refresh The New York Times bestseller Hit Refresh is about individual change, about the transformation happening inside of Microsoft and the technology that will soon impact all of our lives—the arrival of the most exciting and disruptive wave of technology humankind has experienced: artificial intelligence, mixed reality, and quantum computing. It’s about how people, organizations, and societies can and must transform and “hit refresh” in their persistent quest for new energy, new ideas, and continued relevance and renewal.&nbsp; Microsoft’s CEO tells the inside story of the company’s continuing transformation, tracing his own personal journey from a childhood in India to leading some of the most significant technological changes in the digital era. Satya Nadella explores a fascinating childhood before immigrating to the U.S. and how he learned to lead along the way. He then shares his meditations as a sitting CEO—one who is mostly unknown following the brainy Bill Gates and energetic Steve Ballmer. He tells the inside story of how a company rediscovered its soul—transforming everything from culture to their fiercely competitive landscape and industry partnerships. As much a humanist as engineer and executive, Nadella concludes with his vision for the coming wave of technology and by exploring the potential impact to society and delivering call to action for world leaders. “Ideas excite me,” Nadella explains. “Empathy grounds and centers me.” Hit Refresh is a set of reflections, meditations, and recommendations presented as algorithms from a principled, deliberative leader searching for improvement—for himself, for a storied company, and for society.

Exit Rich...Retire Free

The Business Owner's Retirement Blueprint: Exit Rich, Retire Free

Fully revised and updated for the 2025 One Big Beautiful Bill Act.

There is a single day in most business owners' lives when more money moves than on any other. It is the day the business sells. Years of work collapse into a single wire transfer, and waiting at the other end is the IRS, ready to claim a substantial slice of everything the owner built. A poorly planned exit can hand the government a third of a lifetime's work in an afternoon. It does not have to be that way.

The Business Owner's Retirement Blueprint is a complete guide to navigating the journey from business ownership to a fulfilling, stress-free retirement. Drawing on more than 30 years in financial planning and over 15 years spent helping owners exit profitably, Jeff Kikel combines practical strategies, real-world stories, and step-by-step exercises that show owners how to sell well and retire with confidence.

This second edition adds three new chapters built around the post-2025 tax landscape. The QSBS Playbook explains how one section of the tax code can shelter a substantial portion of a sale from federal tax, and why it rewards owners who plan early. 
Cost Segregation reveals an overlooked strategy hidden within an owner's building, now more powerful than it has been in years. 
The Tax-Free Exit Stack shows what happens when these tools stop being separate tactics and become a single coordinated plan that can transform what a sale means for an owner's family and legacy.



Inside, readers will find 

The 5-Step Exit Rich, Retire Free System for maximizing business value and securing a smooth transition, a stress-free retirement income strategy designed specifically for business owners, guidance on the emotional and practical realities of life after the sale, more than twenty checklists and exercises, and proven approaches to protecting wealth and passing it on. Owners will learn how to value a business properly, find the right buyer, structure a deal that protects their proceeds, and avoid the regret of selling without a plan for what comes next.

Most financial planners do not understand the business sales process. Most accountants understand the taxes but not the planning. Most attorneys handle the documents but not the bigger picture. Jeff Kikel writes from the rare vantage point of someone who has built businesses, sold them, and guided hundreds of owners through the same transition. Whether retirement is years away or the sale is already in sight, this book offers a clear roadmap through every stage of a successful exit.

The 5-Step System To Sell Your Business, Secure Lifetime Income, and Retire Without Regret (Second Edition 2026)

The Business Owner's Retirement Blueprint

NATIONAL BESTSELLER Hollywood Virgin has captured hearts, headlines, and high praise around the world-not just for its Hollywood insider revelations, but for its raw honesty, relatability, and universal truths about ambition, identity, success, and knowing when to walk away.&nbsp; From small-town Texas to Hollywood power tables, Jason Felts chronicles his meteoric rise through the cutthroat entertainment industry-creating films, shows, and music festivals, launching global brand campaigns, building a Virgin-branded entertainment empire, while rubbing elbows and butting heads with A-listers before walking away at the height of it all. Jason elegantly removes the concealer off the powerful, fake, and dishonest power players at the same time he equally shines light on the authentic, selfless, or lesser-known stories in Hollywood. This wildly entertaining and deeply honest book is packed with jaw-dropping celebrity encounters, untold industry stories, and hard-earned lessons on ambition, identity, and staying human in an industry that rewards anything but. Felts shares his rollercoaster ride of hustle and reinvention, revealing how he: <ul> <li>Launched the&nbsp;very first show&nbsp;to feature a Kardashian</li> <li>Became the&nbsp;youngest CEO&nbsp;(after mentor, Sir Richard Branson) to run a Virgin company</li> <li>Built and ran a multi-million-dollar global company for Virgin</li> <li>Worked and built relationships with Bradley Coooper, Courteney Cox, Kate Winslet, Hugh Jackman, Jessica &amp; Ashlee Simpson, Halle Berry, will.i.am, Oliver Stone and dozens more</li> <li>Came out publicly and helped found the PULSE foundation in the wake of tragedy</li> <li>Joined the Obamas on their first post-White House getaway-and received life-changing advice from the former President</li> </ul> And that's just the beginning. Hollywood Virgin&nbsp;is a story of ambition, fame, identity, burnout, reinvention-and learning that success isn't always what it seems. More than a behind-the-scenes memoir from the founder and CEO of Virgin's entertainment company, it's a bold, unfiltered crash course in how to make it, take it, lose it, and leave it all behind before it costs you everything. Raw, hilarious, and unflinchingly real, this book is for anyone chasing a dream, surviving a grind, or looking for the courage to rewrite their own script.

About the Author

Edward W. Page began his career in surety bond underwriting and commercial banking in New Jersey and Missouri before moving into private equity in New York. From his home in St. Louis, he commuted to Manhattan to negotiate, acquire, finance, manage, and divest companies across North America and Europe.

Just before his son's birth, Ed returned to St. Louis and founded Williams Capital Partners, Inc., focusing on acquiring and advising privately held businesses primarily throughout the Midwest. Across four decades, he has led numerous successful turnarounds, preserving companies and saving jobs.

Beyond the boardroom, Ed enjoys golf, skiing, and walks with his dog, Gertie. He values time with friends, frequent travel, and trips with his wife, Lynn, to London to visit their son, William, and daughter-in-law, Tara.

About the Book

Knightmare Capital is the raw, unfiltered, high-stakes account of Edward W. Page's leap from the steady lanes of surety bond underwriting and commercial banking into the unpredictable world of private equity. Driven by personal upheaval, Ed took a gamble on a scrappy New York firm and found himself on a rocket ride through high-pressure deals, nonstop travel, and boardroom showdowns that most people only witness on screen.

Mentored by some of the sharpest minds in accounting, finance, law, engineering, and operations, Ed transformed into a battle-tested "deal guy," able to juggle multiple acquisitions, turnarounds, and exits simultaneously across North America and Europe. Each win added to the firm's meteoric rise-until cracks at the top began to spread.

What started with red-eye flights and late-night negotiations slid into chaos, fueled by mismanagement and the increasingly erratic behavior of the firm's mysterious Chairman. Fortunes were lost. Careers collapsed. Lives were upended. As the house of cards shook, Ed stood at the eye of the storm, fighting to salvage what he could, protect the people and companies that still mattered.

Knightmare Capital is more than a business memoir-it's a cautionary tale, survival guide, and front-row seat to how power, ego, and neglect can turn a dream into a nightmare.

Knightmare Capital

A freewheeling and riveting memoir from media honcho Tom Freston that takes us behind the scenes of his global adventures—from hitchhiking around the world, to running a clothing export company out of India and Afghanistan, to cofounding MTV, to becoming CEO of MTV Networks, then CEO of Viacom, then later returning to work in Africa and Afghanistan. Tom Freston’s path to the C-suite was decidedly non-traditional. After getting his MBA, he bartended his way through the United States and the Caribbean, sparking a lifelong passion for travel. After a brief stint on the fast track at an ad agency, he chucked it all and headed to the Sahara Desert and beyond. Entranced by India and Afghanistan, he stayed on for eight years and launched his first big success, Hindu Kush, a company that designed and manufactured contemporary clothing for export to America and other countries. Freston’s next chapter followed his other passion: music. He joined the small original team that launched MTV where he swiftly climbed the ladder, eventually overseeing not only MTV but also Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, VH1, CMT, and other iconic networks. He built a creative powerhouse that transformed global popular culture in cable’s all-conquering heyday. In this unique memoir of risk-taking, rule-breaking, and warm cultural exchanges, Freston shows how to be successful at living your life on your own terms.
