    When the Fund Stops: The Untold Story behind the Downfall of Neil Woodford, Britain’s Most Successful Fund Manager , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 262min
    Neil Woodford was the UK’s most celebrated fund manager. Savers who invested £1,000 with him in 1988 saw their money increase to £25,000 over 25 years. At the peak of his career he was managing £33 billion for hundreds of thousands of investors. When he started his own fund management company in 2014, within just a few weeks it had attracted £5bn from his loyal fan base, including some of the city of London’s biggest hitters. Life was good. Away from work he was collecting high-performance supercars and chunky designer watches; he was rarely out of the saddle of his favorite horse. The BBC called him the “man who can’t stop making money”. And then it all came to a sudden stop. This book tells the dramatic untold story behind Woodford’s stunning rise and fall, and reveals why his multi-billion-pound investment empire really collapsed in such an abrupt and catastrophic manner. In a fast-moving and compelling narrative, reporter David Ricketts takes listeners inside the rooms where extraordinary sums of other people’s money were wagered, trapped, and, ultimately, lost, in a scandal still sending shockwaves through the world of finance. Thanks to unique and unprecedented access to the most important players, we meet an eccentric cast of characters and go inside the institutions involved, from Woodford’s own firm to those that made huge sums endorsing him - as well as those who failed to raise the alarm before it was too late. ungekürzt.

    Dragons Reign: A Novel of Dragons Realm: Dragons Realm Saga, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 550min
    From the number one best-selling author of Dragons Realm and the Blood Curse series comes the highly-anticipated sequel that will leave you breathless.... "It is time to speak of that which we never mention: the prophecy, the omen, the fact that I have come of age...." In the decades since an innocent human slave was taken to Castle Dragon against her will, for the sole purpose of bearing a son for the monarchy, much has changed in the Realm: Alliances made in secret have flourished; sons born of veiled paternity have grown to adulthood; and dangerous warlocks, seasoned witches, and cunning shades have risen to powerful positions. Yet all is not as it seems. Beneath the shadow of an eerie double moon, a dark, tormented evil is rising.... Stirring. Awakening. A prophecy is beckoning: "It is time. It is time." And a lethal dragon prince is growing restless to seize the throne of his bestial ancestors. King Demitri will never step aside. Mina Louvet - indeed, all the Sklavos Ahavi are caught between worlds. And the web of lies spun by the eldest dragon prince - the treachery, deception, and perversion - may very well spark a war of fire and fury unlike anything the Realm has ever seen - or hoped to survive. Great reward requires greater risk, and every beating heart will be wagered in this high-stakes game of blood and reckoning. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mikael Naramore.

    Time is something that cannot be bought, it cannot be wagered with God, and it is not in endless supply. Time is simply how you live your life. (Craig Sager) This program is read by Holter Graham and Craig Sager II. Thanks to an eccentric wardrobe filled with brightly colored suits and a love of sports that knows no bounds, Craig Sager is one of the most beloved and recognizable broadcasters on television. So when the sports world learned that he was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), there was an outpouring of love and support from everyone who was inspired by his colorful life and his fearless decision to continue doing the job he loved - despite being told that he would have only three to six months to live. Sager has undergone three stem cell transplants - with his son as the donor for two of them - and more than 20 chemotherapy cycles since his diagnosis. In Living Out Loud, Craig Sager shares incredible stories from his remarkable career and chronicles his heroic battle. Whether he's sprinting across Wrigley Field midgame as a college student with cops in pursuit, chasing down Hank Aaron on the field for an interview after Aaron broke Babe Ruth's home run record, running with the bulls in Pamplona, or hunkering down to face the daunting physical challenges of fighting leukemia, Craig Sager is always ready to defy expectations, embrace life, and live it to the fullest. Including a foreword by Charles Barkley and with unique insight and narration from Craig's son, Craig Sager II, this entertaining, honest, and introspective account of a life lived in sports reveals the enduring lessons Sager has learned throughout his career and reminds you to always look at the bright side, no matter what life throws at you. ungekürzt.

    Griffin: Red and the Big Bad Reaper (Ruthless MC, #3) (eBook, ePUB)
    RED: Five years ago, I was as boring as boring could be. Seriously, my name was Bernice. But then came that one month when I pretended to be somebody else entirely while working at a roadhouse biker bar…. Big Mistake. Huge. Who knew one month pretending to be an interesting bad girl could ruin a boring good girl's life? GRIFFIN: When I saw her, I knew she'd be mine. My old biker crew told me she was untouchable-that I'd never be able to land her without my fame and last name. So I did what any rock star with a big….ahem, ego would under the circumstances-wagered five figures on me seducing the untouchable girl behind the bar. RED: When the insanely hot biker, who wouldn't have looked at Boring Bernice twice, asks me to come back to his place, I decide, "why not?" It was just supposed to be a silly fling…. GRIFFIN: It was just supposed to be a stupid bet. But what started out as fake got plenty real-especially after I lost her. Five years. I spend five years searching for her. And when I find her…. RED: Five years. I managed to hide from him for five years. He's powerful and dangerous, and I'm not sure what he'll do if he discovers the secret I've been keeping from him for five years and nine months. So when he finds me…. What's this story called again? Escaping the Ruthless Biker? GRIFFIN: No, that's not the title. The story is called Red….Red and the Big Bad Reaper. And you're about to find out why.

    Big Lucky: Serial Entrepreneur Jim Markham's Secret Formula for Success , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 341min
    With five successful companies to his name and over $1.2 billion in combined retail sales, serial entrepreneur Jim Markham has made an indelible mark on the hair care industry. Across six decades, he has built a legacy of innovation that has forever changed how people care for their hair. But the path to success wasn't foregone, obvious, or easy. In his early years, nobody would have wagered on his success. Armed only with sheer determination and an unflappable confidence that he was meant for something bigger, Jim fought to make it from the bottom to the top - more than once. Born into poverty in the barren oil towns of New Mexico to an absent father and an abusive, alcoholic mother, divorced twice with two children by age 20, Jim started cutting hair at age 15 to make ends meet. Within a few short years, his talent and drive propelled him to become the protege of the world's top celebrity stylist. When the Manson murders gruesomely robbed him of his mentor and friend, superstar stylist Jay Sebring, Markham was thrust headlong into the high-flying celebrity culture of 1970s Hollywood. Taking on the mantle of the country's highest paid celebrity stylist, he counted luminaries such as Johnny Carson, Frank Sinatra, Steve McQueen, and Paul Newman not only as clients, but dear friends.At the peak of his early success, Markham lost it all to unscrupulous business partners and a catastrophic addiction to cocaine, which nearly cost him his life. Homeless and penniless, his belief in himself and vision fueled him as he built it all back, 100 times over. Jim went on to build more successful companies and pioneer the sulfate-free movement. In 2007, his company PureOlogy sold to L'Oreal for a record $280 million. Today, Markham continues his legacy of innovation, bringing to market groundbreaking products which are silicone-free, 100 percent vegan, certified hypoallergenic, and packaged in 100 percent recycled plastics. Jim's close ungekürzt.
