The Chris Voss Show Podcast – Collateral Damage (17) (Ali Reynolds Series) by J.A. Jance
Collateral Damage (17) (Ali Reynolds Series) by J.A. Jance
Ali Reynolds and High Noon Enterprises face the dangerous consequences of one man’s desperate search for revenge in this unputdownable thriller from J.A. Jance, the New York Times bestselling author who “has been delivering must-read books for a long time” (The Real Book Spy).
After spending twenty years behind bars, Frank Muñoz, a disgraced former cop, is out on parole and focused on just one thing: revenge. The wife who abandoned him after his arrest, the mistress who ratted him out for abetting a money-laundering scheme, the detectives who presided over his case all those years ago—they all have targets on their backs.
For Ali Reynolds, the first Christmas without her father is riddled with grief and uncertainty. And with her husband and founding partner of High Noon Enterprises, B. Simpson, preoccupied by an upcoming New Year’s trip to London, she is ready for a break. But when Stu Ramey barges into her home with grave news about a serious—and suspicious—accident on the highway to Phoenix involving B.’s car, things reach a breaking point.
At the hospital, a groggy, post-op B. insists that Ali take his place at a ransomware conference in London, as troubles brimming around High Noon come to light. But questions remain: Who would go to such lengths to cut the tech company from the picture? And what if Ali and the rest of the team are also in danger?

The Chris Voss Show Podcast – Linda Buscemi, PhD, Founder of Ella®by TapRoot at SXSW 2023
Linda Buscemi, PhD, Founder of Ella®by TapRoot at SXSW 2023
About Ella by TapRoot
The idea behind Taproot was born on a napkin, when the two founders, Linda and Scarlett, connected their life stories and combined two completely different views of the world. That’s when innovation occurred.
Linda Buscemi is a behavioral expert who began applying her philosophy that “adverse behaviors are reactions from unmet needs” in the area of cognitive disorders, particularly dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. With that notion and using the person’s background, she successfully prevented and decreased adverse behaviors.
Being aware of the high costs of personalized treatment done by licensed professionals, and also the lack of trained caregivers involved in Behavioral Science interventions, there was an urge to scale this model. That’s when Linda approached Scarlett: she needed to automate this approach and enhance its reach. Scarlett, using her strong management and business background, and also having experienced two generations of loved ones lost to dementia, was immediately committed to sharing her business acumen.
TapRoot’s name comes from the belief that tapping into the history and long term memory provides the best opportunity to truly impact quality care. It is within this philosophy that non-pharmaceutical and person centered approaches prevent and decrease adverse reactions.

The Chris Voss Show Podcast – How Far Do You Want to Go?: Lessons from a Common-Sense Billionaire by John Catsimatidis
How Far Do You Want to Go?: Lessons from a Common-Sense Billionaire by John Catsimatidis
Publishers Weekly Bestseller
Billionaire entrepreneur John Catsimatidis, owner and CEO of the Red Apple Group, reveals how his instincts and common sense have propelled him to massive business success in this detailed account of an incredible rags-to-riches story.
Born on the small Greek island of Nisyros, John Catsimatidis immigrated to the States with his family and quickly became a true New Yorker, raised in Harlem. He went to school by day and worked in a small grocery store by night to help his parents pay the bills until, just eight credits short of graduating from New York University, he opted to work in the grocery business full-time.
Today, that grocery business has become the Red Apple Group, a conglomerate with interests in energy, real estate, aviation, baseball, entertainment, and media, including the iconic radio station WABC, where John hosts leading figures in government, politics, business, and economics.
As Catsimatidis has discovered, the American Dream doesn’t come with an instruction manual—or even a sign to let you know when you’ve arrived at the finish line. How Far Do You Want to Go? tells Catsimatidis’s dynamic story, from his beginnings in the grocery business to entering the political arena, including a New York City mayoral campaign. He’s tried his hand at nearly everything, but he’s far from finished with his adventures. Now, he offers readers a glimpse into the wisdom he’s gained—and the excitement he has for what the future holds in store.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
John Catsimatidis was born on the Greek Island of Nisyros in 1948 and 6 months later his parents emigrated to New York City in search of a better life. During his senior year at NYU, with just 8 credits remaining, John dropped out to work in the grocery business full-time. By his 25th birthday he was already a success with 10 Red Apple Supermarkets scattered along Broadway on Manhattan’s Upper Westside.
John is a firm believer in giving back to the community and has been a strong supporter of the Police Athletic League for nearly 30 years. He serves on the Board of Columbia Presbyterian Hospital, the Hellenic Times Scholarship Fund, and over the years served in a variety of volunteer positions in the Greek Orthodox Church.

The Chris Voss Show Podcast – Fragile Cargo: The World War II Race to Save the Treasures of China’s Forbidden City by Adam Brookes
Fragile Cargo: The World War II Race to Save the Treasures of China’s Forbidden City by Adam Brookes
The gripping true story of the bold and determined museum curators who saved the priceless treasures of China’s Forbidden City in the years leading up to World War II and beyond.
Spring 1933: The silent courtyards and palaces of Peking’s Forbidden City, for centuries the home of Chinese emperors, are tense with fear and expectation. Japan’s aircrafts drone overhead, its troops and tanks are only hours away. All-out war between China and Japan is coming, and the curators of the Forbidden City are faced with an impossible question: how will they protect the vast imperial art collections in their charge? A difficult and monumental decision is made: to safeguard the treasures, they will need to be evacuated.
The magnificent collections contain a million pieces of art—objects that carry China’s deepest and most ancient memories. Among them are irreplaceable artefacts: exquisite paintings on silk, vanishingly rare Ming porcelain, and the extraordinary Stone Drums of Qin, which are adorned with 2,500-year-old inscriptions of crucial cultural significance.
For sixteen terrifying years, under the quiet leadership of museum director Ma Heng, the curators would go on to transport the imperial art collections thousands of miles across China—up rivers of white water, across mountain ranges, and through burning cities. In their search for safety the curators and their fragile, invaluable cargo journeyed through the maelstrom of violence, chaos, and starvation that was China’s Second World War.
Told for the first time in English and playing out across a vast historical canvas, this is the exhilarating story of a small group of men and women who, when faced with war’s onslaught on civilization, chose to resist. Fragile Cargo reminds us of the enduring power of beauty in a world beset by conflict and violence.
