It’s the story of the 20-month struggle by Senator Ted Kaufman and Jeff Connaughton, his chief of staff, to hold Wall Street executives accountable for securities fraud, stop stock manipulation by high-frequency traders, and break up too-big-to-fail megabanks. This book takes us inside their dogged crusade against institutional inertia and industry influence as they encounter an outright reluctance.

Most buyers are unfamiliar with the process of getting a loan or mortgage and what it really takes to get approved. This is not only important for first time home buyers but experienced owners too. It may have been awhile since a current home owner has purchased a home and acquired a mortgage and the rules change constantly. Buyers get frustrated with all the paperwork and they feel like they are asked for the same items over and over and over again. Most buyers don’t really know what buying power they have. I see both ends of the scale: people who feel they can afford twice as much as ...

The identity that defined them vanishes overnight. The mission that drove them disappears. Financial freedom arrives with an unexpected companion: existential emptiness.

The Payoff Principle gives you that formula - Purpose + Passion + Process = Payoff - and then works as your guidebook, teaching you how to apply the formula to achieve success at work, at home, and everywhere you go. When you find purpose in what you do, exhibit passion for the outcome, and master the process to make it happen, you produce the payoffs you want, need, and deserve.

My mother survived seven years buried alive to tell me one thing. The dead remember everything. We carried Lyra out of the vault and into the keeper settlement — a civilization destroyed two centuries ago to keep its secrets underground. She can’t walk. Her channeling pathways are scarred beyond healing. But her mind survived seven years of solitary analysis intact, and what she knows changes everything. The purge wasn’t about fear. It was about witnesses. A Dragonsoul in the Drift can access every spirit dragon’s memories — a living archive of two hundred years of murder. Every ...

They locked my healer behind a wall that killed his bond. I sent a storm, broke down the door, and started a war. Sable’s execution was set for sunrise. We had hours. Four riders, one Dragonsoul, and a mother who spent seven years memorizing every weakness in the fortress that held us. By dawn, we’d rescued our healer, delivered seventeen pages of evidence to the tribunal, and begun clearing a path through two centuries of compressed grief toward the one place the dead could finally be heard. The mountain was fracturing. The anchor—compressed sorrow at the deepest point of the Gorge...

The general gave me until sunrise to surrender. I went underground… and found what he buried there two centuries ago. Thorne’s ultimatum expired. His soldiers descended. And I chose the only path he didn’t control: down. Below the Seventh Landing. Below the sealed chambers. Into the deep Tombs where no one has walked in two hundred years. I didn’t go alone.
