Books for the aspiring Entrepreneurs and Business Minds
This is a Masterclass for startups and entrepreneurs written by the co-founders of Judo Bank.
It’s a book that Dad will love as they read Joseph and David’s story of what inspired them to start Judo Bank, the planning, launching and scaling up to become such great success against all odds. It is full of valuable practical guides and a must read by all aspiring entrepreneurs.
We enjoyed it with a hot cup of coffee and the delicious long black hand made chocolate from Atypic.
This is the follow-up to bestselling business bible The Lean Startup - taking the startup revolution to all organisations With his million-copy bestseller The Lean Startup, Eric Ries launched a global movement.
Concepts like minimal viable product, A/B testing and 'pivoting' changed the language of business. Now he turns his attention to companies of all sizes - and shows how the startup ethos can breathe new life into even the largest and most bureaucratic organisation.
The Startup Way is an essential read for leaders, managers and entrepreneurs at any level.
Books For The Sports Loving Dads
If your dad is a soccer fan then this is a great book for them. In fact, it is a great sport book for any sport fan.
A great read about how Hillsborough and the Premier League Changed Britain. The story of how modern football has changed from being the people's game to an elite multi-million pound business, and of what it has lost in the process.
And the Sun Shines Now is a book about what happened in the wake of Hillsborough, the most controversial tragedy of post-war Britain. The Taylor Report. Italia 90. Gazza's tears. All-seater stadia. Murdoch. Sky. Nick Hornby. The Premier League. The transformation of a game that had once deeply connected a club to its community, into a global business so rapacious that true fans have been forgotten, disenfranchised. Adrian Tempany deconstructs the past twenty-five years of English football to give us a brutal assessment of the modern game.
Dad is a Footy fan? Who isn’t! This book by Eddie Betts is an honest, human and beautiful gift for any dad.
Eddie talks about how does a self-described ‘skinny Aboriginal kid’ overcome a legacy of family tragedy to become an AFL legend? One thing’s for sure: it’s not easy. But then, there’s always been something special about Eddie Betts.
Betts grew up in Port Lincoln and Kalgoorlie, in environments where the destructive legacies of colonialism – racism, police targeting of Aboriginal people, drug and alcohol misuse, family violence – were sadly normalised. His childhood was defined by family closeness as well as family strife, plus a wonderful freedom that he and his cousins exploited to the full – for better and for worse.
When he made the decision to take his talents across the Nullarbor to Melbourne to chase his footballing dreams – homesickness be damned – everything changed. Over the ensuing years, Betts became a true giant of the sport: 350-plus games, 600-plus goals, multiple All-Australian nods and Goal of the Year awards, and a league-wide popularity rarely seen in the hyper-tribal AFL.
