I’m on the move so hopefully, in September I can start the videos back up again. However, this month is an awesome month. Two great thrillers and one content marketing book that you have to read if you are anything between a small business or a personal brand (like an author or influencer). Enjoy!
Featured Books for July Book Club 2021:
Black Ice by Brad Thor
The KING of Thrillers is back, and better than ever!
The new Cold War is about to go hot.
#1 New York Times and #1 Wall Street Journal bestselling author Brad Thor is back with his most intense thriller yet.
Scot Harvath is having his best summer ever. With a cottage on the fjord, a boat, and his beautiful girlfriend Sølvi, he’s got everything he could possibly want. But out of vacation days and long overdue back home, America’s top spy has a decision to make—return, or submit his resignation.
When his deadly past comes calling, though, he’ll be left with no choice at all.
Leaving his favorite Oslo café, Harvath watches as a ghost climbs out of a taxi—a man he killed years ago, halfway around the world. How is he still alive? And what is he doing in Norway?
In a race against time that will take him high above the Arctic Circle, Harvath is tested in ways he has never imagined and pushed to a limit few human beings could ever endure.
If he succeeds, he’ll walk away with everything. If he fails, the United States and its allies will be at the mercy of one of the world’s most dangerous actors.
“Nobody writes a thriller like Brad Thor. On his 21st outing, he dives deeper into research than ever before. The truth behind the content in this book is almost scary. The next war is in the artic, and as Thor points out, the US is incredibly outgunned and behind. One of my favorites from him! 5 Stars!”-Jeff

Death of Content as King by Jon Hinderliter
No king rules forever.
Since the early days of the internet, content marketing has been the battle cry of countless marketing experts promising free consumer attention forever in return for creating quality content. However, the platforms that dominate search, social, and e-commerce use data-powered algorithms to drive personalized experiences for billions of users and is now where the majority of advertising dollars are spent. A once in a century paradigm shift has occurred that requires new strategies for organizations to survive this data revolution. The Death of Content as King is a methodically researched guide that helps you embrace data, not as the new king, but as the voice and vote of the consumer in this new era of data democracy.
“This is a must read for those in marketing, content marketing, and wishing to learn more about data and how it drives what we see online!” -Jeff

Dark Intercept by Andrews & Wilson
I was fortunate enough to get an ADVANCED READERS COPY (ARC) from the Protectors Book Club of Dark Intercept from the incredible writing team of Andrews & Wilson. You can pre-order now and get it on 7 September 2021!
Below is the write-up and my thoughts!
When dark forces rise, are faith and firepower enough?
On the eve of his medical retirement, Navy SEAL Jedidiah Johnson receives a frantic call from his estranged childhood best friend David Yarnell. David’s daughter has been kidnapped off the streets of Nashville in broad daylight. The police have no suspects and no leads. The only clue: the body of a dead priest left behind at the scene. With the clock ticking, David is growing desperate, as is his wife, Rachel . . . Jed’s first love.
Despite his painful history with David and Rachel, Jed agrees to help. But he’s spent his career as a door-kicking Navy SEAL, not an investigator. His presence immediately draws unwanted attention, creates friction with the local police, and triggers a mysterious attempt on his life. Just when he thinks things can’t get worse, it starts to happen again―the voices in his head, the nightmares, the visions. Dark memories and strange abilities, things he believed he’d left behind when he fled Nashville for the Navy at eighteen, begin to resurface.
Jed realizes that to save the missing girl, he must take a leap of faith and embrace the gifts he’s denied for all these years. To foil this dark intercept, he’ll need more than just his years as a SEAL operator, because he has no choice now but to take up arms and join the battle in the unseen spiritual warfare raging all around him. And there is far more at stake than just a missing girl: the world is not the place he thought it was―and he is not alone.
Follow the military heroes of The Shepherds series as they bring the power of light into the dark mystery of Sara Beth’s abduction.
“I really enjoyed the premise of this book. It explores the supernatural combined with faith in religion and beliefs. Firepower isn’t enough for the operators in this book, they MUST believe in bigger things. The Shepherds series is going to be a great series by Andrews & Wilson. I look forward to the next one!”-Jeff
