  • HijackedOur REPUBLIC, Unless We can SAVE IT with Peter H. Calfee and J. Kevin Dolan

    HijackedOur REPUBLIC, Unless We can SAVE IT with Peter H. Calfee and J. Kevin Dolan
    Apr 27 2026
    A powerful resource for citizens, educators, leaders, and parents, Hijacked speaks to those ready to defend liberty, restore responsibility, and reweave the social fabric of our nation—before it’s too late.
    In an era of cultural confusion and political polarization, Hijacked offers a bold roadmap for reclaiming the essential principles of a flourishing society. Drawing from historical evidence and timeless wisdom, authors Peter H. Calfee and J. Kevin Dolan argue that the survival of the American republic depends on our collective ability to return to foundational values— Critical Thinking, Education, Religion/Faith/Values, History, Politics, and Economics.
    From the very first chapter, Hijacked drives home the premise that the American experiment is not immune to failure — unless its people actively think, question, and speak with clarity and conviction.
    In one of the book’s foundational sections, Calfee and Dolan explore the erosion of public discourse and the consequences of abandoning Critical Thinking. They recount how great civilizations—from Ancient Rome to modern states—fell not due to external enemies but internal decay. Indoctrination, moral relativism, and the suppression of inquiry replaced reasoned dialogue and moral clarity.

    About the Authors

    J. Kevin Dolan is a former airline pilot and Wharton MBA who co-founded a successful Registered Investment Advisory firm and played a key role in launching the Allied Pilots Federal Credit Union.
    Peter H. Calfee is a financial expert and retired CPA, CFP®, and CLU with leadership experience in regulatory, nonprofit, and academic settings. He holds degrees from Stanford University and the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. Together, they bring decades of real-world experience and principled leadership to this urgent call for national renewal.

  • Before Bonnie & Clyde: Ranger Hamer Tames the Wickedest Boomtown

    Before Bonnie & Clyde: Ranger Hamer Tames the Wickedest Boomtown
    Apr 22 2026
    ABOUT BOOMTOWN

    The true story of the corrupt and violent town of Borger, Texas in 1927―and the legendary Texas Ranger tasked with taming it. Just a year after the town of Borger, Texas was founded, the press called it "the wickedest in the state" for good reason. The town, sprung into existence overnight to support the oilfields, was a second chance for many residents but had also become a lawless haven for bootleggers, pimps and gamblers, run by a crooked city hall. That environment attracts some of the most unsavory characters in prohibition America, including a gang of murderous bank robbers who head into Borger to spend their money on booze, gambling and prostitutes. In the span of weeks, the gang kills three law enforcement officers, bringing the worst heat imaginable: legendary Texas Ranger Captain Frank Hamer, years before he will lead the 1934 posse that tracked down and killed criminals Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow. His arrival threatens to break even this hardest boomtown in America―if it doesn't kill him first. What follows is one of the most thrilling and violent untold stories from the era of gangsters, lawmen and vice. Author Joe Pappalardo brings to life a town previously lost in the haze of history.

    JOE PAPPALARDO BIO

    Joe Pappalardo is a non-fiction author and an award-winning contributor at magazines including Popular Mechanics, National Geographic & Texas Monthly. His work has also appeared in Smithsonian Air & Space and American Way magazines, and he has been a guest on C-SPAN, CNN, CBS Eye on the World with John Batchelor, MSNBC and Fox News. He's appeared on several television programs on the History and Science channels.

  • How Nell 3D’s Systematic Subtraction Unlocks Sustainable Leadership & Lasting Impact

    How Nell 3D’s Systematic Subtraction Unlocks Sustainable Leadership & Lasting Impact
    Apr 21 2026
    Eye-opening conversation with Nell 3D (Nell Derick Debevoise Dewey) — leadership advisor, Forbes Senior Contributor, keynote speaker, and self-described Subtraction Activist.

    With degrees from Harvard, Cambridge, Columbia Business School, and London Business School, and 25+ years advising Fortune 500 executives at Google, Bank of America, American Express, Coca-Cola, and more, Nell has helped high-achieving, impact-driven leaders across the globe break through invisible success ceilings.

    After her own near-fatal wake-up call from chronic overdoing, she created the Systematic Subtraction™ and Lead in 3D™ frameworks (ME / WE / WORLD) that teach ambitious women how to stop adding more effort and start subtracting what no longer serves them — creating structural change, conserving energy, and generating compounding results in life, teams, and organizations.

    In this episode, Nell shares why “doing more” stops working for high performers, how to identify and release the hidden drains on your time and energy, and practical ways to align your purpose so success finally feels as good as it looks. Whether you’re a leader, entrepreneur, or mission-driven professional feeling stretched thin, this conversation will give you the permission and tools to do less while mattering more.

  • Former Atlanta mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms: The Rough Side of the Mountain

    Former Atlanta mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms: The Rough Side of the Mountain
    Apr 21 2026
    Long before she became Atlanta’s mayor, a CNN political commentator, and senior advisor to President Joe Biden, Keisha Lance Bottoms was simply a daddy’s girl from Atlanta’s west side—talkative, outgoing, and shaped by a big, loving Southern family that taught her confidence and resilience.

    In her powerful new memoir, The Rough Side of the Mountain, Keisha takes us on a deeply personal journey of excavation. After years of sanding down her story for political success—hiding her father’s drug abuse and prison time, her own experiences with sexual abuse and an eating disorder, and the beautifully unpolished truth of her family—she realized something was missing. In her early fifties, she stepped back from the grind and chose to reclaim every part of herself she once thought she had to leave behind.

    This is a heartfelt celebration of unmasking, authenticity, and the joy of showing up fully. Through raw stories and hard-won lessons from her kinfolk, Keisha shows how the roughest chapters become the strongest foundation for leadership, purpose, and real resilience. Tune in for an inspiring conversation about embracing your full story and spreading the powerful message that you don’t have to hide who you are to rise.
