Streen D: The Art of Inventing

The Art of Inventing

From Idea to Invention: the Proven Path to Product Development

You've spent your life loving sports. Now you want to get paid for it. But passion alone won't get you hired.

When I was trying to break into the industry, I had questions and very few honest answers. Everyone said:
"Follow your passion."
"Network more."
"Just get your foot in the door."

But nobody really explained how sports actually works. So I learned the hard way-completing 16 internships and professional experiences at Springfield College and building a decade-long career with organizations like the Phoenix Suns, San Francisco Giants, Baltimore Orioles, Cleveland Guardians &amp; Reds Spring Training Facility, Athletes Unlimited, and the Israel National Baseball Team.

Breaking Into Sports is the playbook I wish I had when I was starting out. It's practical, honest, and filled with real-world guidance on:Why passion alone won't get you hired-and what truly sets candidates apart
Networking that actually works, building real connections instead of transactional ones
Surviving your first job: long hours, entry-level sales, and handling rejection
Turning early roles into career launchpads and knowing when to pivot
The stuff nobody tells you: burnout, impostor syndrome, geographic flexibility, and more



Featuring insights from leaders across the industry, including:Rob Manfred - Commissioner, Major League Baseball (MLB)
Jerry Colangelo - Chairman, Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame; Former Owner &amp; Chairman, Arizona Diamondbacks and Phoenix Suns &amp; Mercury; Former Managing Director, USA Basketball
Tony Clark - Executive Director, Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA)
Adam White - Founder &amp; CEO, Front Office Sports
Annie Meyers Drysdale - Olympian; Basketball Hall of Famer
Alan Nero - Managing Director, Baseball, Octagon
Pat O'Conner - Former President, Minor League Baseball
Sam Kennedy - President &amp; CEO, Boston Red Sox
Dana Brown - General Manager, Houston Astros
Dr. Lynn Lashbrook - President &amp; Founder, Sports Management Worldwide
Josh Rawitch - President, National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum
Jamie Dinsmore - President &amp; CEO, Hockey Hall of Fame
Derrick Hall - President &amp; CEO, Arizona Diamondbacks
John Doleva - President &amp; CEO, Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame
...and many more



This book is for students mapping out their futures, recent grads grinding through applications, and early-career professionals figuring out their next move. Stop piecing together advice from textbooks and social media. The roadmap is here. Now it's your turn to take the field.

The Real Guide to Landing Your Dream Job

Breaking Into Sports

It starts with you.Ever noticed that it's when you're on the brink of next-level growth that the inner unrest surfaces? It shows up in different ways.

Or maybe you realise you're so addicted to working that you feel guilty when you invest in self-care.But the truth is that this inner unrest costs you and your business dear: it creates hidden buckets of waste that can stop you - and your team - from achieving and enjoying next-level growth.The good news is that it all starts with you. The 7-step 'Lead Self First' framework will support you to take control by leading yourself first, and gives your team a structure they can use too, so you can navigate the challenges of growth with confidence and get from where you are to where you want to be.Caroline McKenna is an accredited executive coach and founder of the award-winning Lead Self Coaching and Development, with 20 years' experience working in growing SMEs, leading and developing teams.

It chronicles the day-to-day challenges, pressures, and rewards of academic life. It is organized thematically and covers topics such as what an assistant professor actually does, how to foster an innovative research group, how to achieve target research outcomes and stand out from the crowd, how to create and manage a diverse research group, and how to achieve a sustainable work-life balance. It provides both practical advice and personal reflection, enabling readers to better understand the job requirements and prepare for success within this challenging and competitive environment.This work provides a vital insider's perspective to early-career academics, including postdoctoral researchers and assistant professors, as well as graduate students aspiring to academic careers. It also contains valuable information for university administrators, educational policymakers, and anyone responsible for career development programs and academic mentoring initiatives in universities.

U.S. Navy SEAL's Leadership Lessons for the Next Generation of Technical Leaders

Work Ready

Our world feels more divided than ever. We're told that Boomers can't work with Gen Z. That Millennials think older generations are out of touch. That the generational gap is too wide to cross.

But what if we've been sold a lie?

Following Make a Difference and Crossing the Line, Crossing Generational Lines tackles the myths we believe about generational differences and shows you how to bridge the real gaps.

We've accepted these stories as fact: older generations refuse to change, younger generations are entitled and lazy, and we're all too different to understand each other. Research proves the gaps between us are smaller than we think. The real divide isn't age. It's our assumptions.

This book gives you a practical framework to move beyond stereotypes and build genuine connections. You'll learn how to listen with intent, express authentic interest, ask questions that matter, reset your thinking, and never stop growing.

Through personal stories, research-backed insights, and real-world examples, you'll discover how crossing generational lines can be life-changing. Whether you're leading a multigenerational team at work or strengthening relationships at home, this book will inspire and guide you to cross generational lines and truly make a difference in the lives of those you love, live with, and lead.

Crossing Generational Lines

Everyone says personal branding is about you. Everyone is wrong. You've built real skill. You've solved real problems. But in a world that rewards visibility, doing meaningful work isn't enough. Recognition matters. Yet the modern version of "personal branding" feels exhausting. Somewhere along the way, personal branding became synonymous with self-promotion, follower counts, and algorithm-chasing. For thoughtful professionals and students like you, that version feels performative at best and misaligned at worst. And yet invisibility is no longer neutral. If your work is going to matter, your ideas have to travel. In&nbsp;Valuable &amp; Visible: Redefining Personal Branding by Leading with Impact Over Image, award-winning marketing lecturer Vanessa Errecarte offers a different path: a service-first approach designed for professionals who want credibility, not clout. Real-world case studies and success stories that come from professionals like an optometrist, an embryologist, a leadership coach, a reality TV contestant, and more demonstrate how service-first personal branding transforms careers across diverse fields. This is not a book about becoming famous for being famous. It is a smarter way to become known for something that matters,&nbsp;build credibility, and make a meaningful impact without chasing followers.&nbsp; For MBA students, graduate students, mid-career professionals seeking career advancement,&nbsp;entrepreneurs, leaders, undergraduate students,&nbsp;and academics ready to build owned audiences and measure success by contribution rather than clicks,&nbsp;Valuable &amp; Visible&nbsp;proves that when substantive value drives visibility, credibility follows despite an increasingly performative marketplace. Through Errecarte's proven EPIC Framework, readers learn how to clarify their positioning, package their knowledge into intellectual property, and build sustainable visibility rooted in valuable contribution. Readers will also discover: <ul> <li>The&nbsp;TRUTH framework and Fab Four question set&nbsp;that positions your expertise in a counterintuitive, novel way that captures attention and establishes authority with your target audience.</li> <li>A recycled social strategy that prioritizes consistency and value over algorithm hacks, allowing busy professionals to maintain visibility in just a few hours per week.</li> <li>The SERVE script for creating authentic video content that overcomes vulnerability and builds genuine connections without performance anxiety or self-promotion.</li> <li>Practical exercises for building owned audiences rather than relying on platforms controlled by others.</li> <li>Strategic methods for measuring success through impact and professional opportunities rather than follower counts.</li> </ul>
