The Axle Workout Bundle Review

Theaxleworkout.com

We got to review the Axle Bundle that works with their website and mobile app that you can use to maximize its use. It’s a full program with much support for utilizing the Axle bundle with video and booked meetings. With the bundle, you get the barbell, 2 weights, clasps, foot attachments, the two wheels, a pump and a travel bag.

The interesting thing about the axle product is the versatility of how you can use it in so many ways. Not only can you use it as a normal barbell and add weights to it, but with the wheels you can use it for a variety of different workouts, stretches and with the foot attachments almost a never ending variation of what you can do.

Being able to transport it in the travel bag makes it very versatile to take it on the go or breakdown to put away, for example, under a bed or closet when not in use. It’s great for anyone and even my 79-year-old mother took to using it for doing light lifting. With the wheels, it makes it easier to support and use with no weight bench holder for it. Even if you are a power gym goer like myself, you can use these to do slow rep isolation burns or add more weight for a power workout.

The range of different exercises, including aerobic, is quite vast. Considering what normal home gym setups can run, it’s priced well and, unlike a home gym, you can travel with this. Overall, highly recommend the product and the app, trainer and video workout support does a wonderful job making it a complete workout product.

The Chris Voss Show Podcat – Blood and Treasure: Daniel Boone and the Fight for America’s First Frontier by Bob Drury, Tom Clavin

Blood and Treasure: Daniel Boone and the Fight for America’s First Frontier by Bob Drury, Tom Clavin

The explosive true saga of the legendary figure Daniel Boone and the bloody struggle for America’s frontier by two bestselling authors at the height of their writing power—Bob Drury and Tom Clavin.

It is the mid-eighteenth century, and in the thirteen colonies founded by Great Britain, anxious colonists desperate to conquer and settle North America’s “First Frontier” beyond the Appalachian Mountains commence a series of bloody battles. These violent conflicts are waged against the Native American tribes whose lands they covet, the French, and the mother country itself in an American Revolution destined to reverberate around the world.

This is the setting of Blood and Treasure, and the guide to this epic narrative is America’s first and arguably greatest pathfinder, Daniel Boone—not the coonskin cap-wearing caricature of popular culture but the flesh-and-blood frontiersman and Revolutionary War hero whose explorations into the forested frontier beyond the great mountains would become the stuff of legend. Now, thanks to painstaking research by two award-winning authors, the story of the brutal birth of the United States is told through the eyes of both the ordinary and larger-than-life men and women who witnessed it.

This fast-paced and fiery narrative, fueled by contemporary diaries and journals, newspaper reports, and eyewitness accounts, is a stirring chronicle of the conflict over America’s “First Frontier” that places the reader at the center of this remarkable epoch and its gripping tales of courage and sacrifice.

The Chris Voss Show Podcast – Learning America: One Woman’s Fight for Educational Justice for Refugee Children by Luma Mufleh

Learning America: One Woman’s Fight for Educational Justice for Refugee Children by Luma Mufleh

It was a wrong turn that changed everything. When Luma Mufleh—a Muslim, gay, refugee woman from hyper-conservative Jordan—stumbled upon a pick-up game of soccer in Clarkston, Georgia, something compelled her to join. The players, 11- and 12-year-olds from Liberia, Afghanistan, and Sudan, soon welcomed her as coach of their ragtag but fiercely competitive group. Drawn into their lives, Mufleh learned that few of her players, all local public school students, could read a single word. She asks, “Where was the America that took me in? That protected me? How can I get these kids to that America?”

Learning America traces the story of how Mufleh grew a group of kids into a soccer team and then into a nationally acclaimed network of schools for refugee children. The journey is inspiring and hard-won: Fugees schools accept only those most in need; no student passes a grade without earning it; the failure of any student is the responsibility of all. Soccer as a part of every school day is a powerful catalyst to heal trauma, create belonging, and accelerate learning. Finally, this gifted storyteller delivers provocative, indelible portraits of student after student making leaps in learning that aren’t supposed to be possible for children born into trauma–stories that shine powerful light on the path to educational justice for all of America’s most left-behind.

Powershades Custom Interior & Exterior Motorized Roller Shades Review

Powershades.com

The issue my mother’s house has had was having these cheap hanging blinds on her big sliding glass window on her house. They don’t seal out the sweltering heat of the sun that bakes her house and heats the window to a point of blazing heat in her kitchen during the summer and in winter air drafts through the blinds and large space that doesnt touch the floor. Obviously, year round it makes her house uncomfortable, runs up her energy bill and I’ve had to hear about it for years. So we got a chance to review the new Powershades products and decided the best place to install them was at her house. Normally, Powershades has vendors across the country that I recommend you use to professionally install it but we do reviews all the time and sometimes testing how intuitive or easy the product is designed is a great test.

We choose the interior roller blades that come in three styles: Open Roll, Cassette and Fascia. They have exterior blinds, automated or manual as well. We went with Fascia and choose from a large variety of cloths and colors and ordered it customized to size from them. I’m not a guy who’s good with the tools, but it was a fairly easy install for me, a few screws and it was up. The size was perfectly hanging over moulding, but close enough to seal in the air from the window to stop the cold and hot drafts. Because it was now a one piece blind, it literally acts as a barrier to block out the outside exposure. I can see this will have a direct cost saving effect on her energy bill and you can feel the room temperature in her kitchen is now more stabilized. According to Powershades, it will reduce up to 30% of your bill.

The roll can also go down all the way to the floor and she can set it, open or close with the remote or app with a connection to the internet (optional). It has safety settings to keep from over rolling down or up too far. My mom loves it and it looks so much nicer than her old blinds. It even gives her more added privacy that the hanging slat blinds that sometimes dont always close. I highly recommend the product and have been very impressed with the ease of install and the great customer service from the agents at the company. Its a great investment in your home that will improve your experience and pay for itself in energy savings.

The Chris Voss Show Podcast – Septemics: Hierarchies of Human Phenomena: Analysis, Prediction and Management of Human Affairs by Jim Marshall

Septemics: Hierarchies of Human Phenomena: Analysis, Prediction and Management of Human Affairs by Jim Marshall

Portions of this book are posted on Septemics.com Isaac Asimov, in his famous Foundation trilogy, imagined a future in which a science of the mind could accurately predict human events.This work is a down payment on that promise. It comprises a revolutionary and elaborate system for accurately analyzing, assessing, predicting and managing the behaviors and characteristics of groups and individuals. It is a textbook about a new philosophical science called Septemics, which consists of thirty-five scales, each of which delineates the exact sequence and patterns in which human beings actually behave and manifest in various contexts. Each of these scales describes an axis upon which individuals, and/or groups, advance or decline. This book would generally fit into the literary category of Psychological Philosophy, although there has never been a book quite like this in human history. One must actually read the book in order to access the power of its contents, because it is not like anything else.

The Chris Voss Show Podcast – The Soul of an Entrepreneur: Work and Life Beyond the Startup Myth by David Sax

The Soul of an Entrepreneur: Work and Life Beyond the Startup Myth by David Sax

An award-winning business writer dismantles the myths of entrepreneurship, replacing them with an essential story about the experience of real business owners in the modern economy.

We’re often told that we’re living amidst a startup boom. Typically, we think of apps built by college kids and funded by venture capital firms, which remake fortunes and economies overnight. But in reality, most new businesses are things like restaurants or hair salons. Entrepreneurs aren’t all millennials — more often, it’s their parents. And those small companies are the fabric of our economy.

The Soul of an Entrepreneur is a business book of a different kind, exploring our work but also our passions and hopes. David Sax reports on the deeply personal questions of entrepreneurship: why an immigrant family risks everything to build a bakery; how a small farmer fights to manage his debt; and what it feels like to rise and fall with a business you built for yourself.

This book is the real story of entrepreneurship. It confronts both success and failure, and shows how they can change a human life. It captures the inherent freedom that entrepreneurship brings, and why it matters.

The Chris Voss Show Podcast – A Taste for Poison: Eleven Deadly Molecules and the Killers Who Used Them by Neil Bradbury Ph.D.

A Taste for Poison: Eleven Deadly Molecules and the Killers Who Used Them by Neil Bradbury Ph.D.

A brilliant blend of science and crime, A TASTE FOR POISON reveals how eleven notorious poisons affect the body–through the murders in which they were used.

As any reader of murder mysteries can tell you, poison is one of the most enduring―and popular―weapons of choice for a scheming murderer. It can be slipped into a drink, smeared onto the tip of an arrow or the handle of a door, even filtered through the air we breathe. But how exactly do these poisons work to break our bodies down, and what can we learn from the damage they inflict?

In a fascinating blend of popular science, medical history, and true crime, Dr. Neil Bradbury explores this most morbidly captivating method of murder from a cellular level. Alongside real-life accounts of murderers and their crimes―some notorious, some forgotten, some still unsolved―are the equally compelling stories of the poisons involved: eleven molecules of death that work their way through the human body and, paradoxically, illuminate the way in which our bodies function.

Drawn from historical records and current news headlines, A Taste for Poison weaves together the tales of spurned lovers, shady scientists, medical professionals and political assassins to show how the precise systems of the body can be impaired to lethal effect through the use of poison. From the deadly origins of the gin & tonic cocktail to the arsenic-laced wallpaper in Napoleon’s bedroom, A Taste for Poison leads readers on a riveting tour of the intricate, complex systems that keep us alive―or don’t.
