For decades, CEOs have treated financial capital with rigor, discipline, and foresight. But when it comes to human capital—the engine of innovation, execution, and growth—most organizations still rely on legacy mindsets and guesswork.

You know AI matters, but you're just not sure what to do with it. Every day brings a new tool, a new headline, or worse, another feeling that you’re falling behind. In your leadership role, you don’t know where or how to get started, much less how to mobilize others. You’re not alone. Most books about AI explain what AI is. This book tells you what to do with it—how to get started right now and set up your organization to drive value with AI within 90 days.

What if the business you built for freedom is the very thing taking it away? In Life First. Business Second., Greg Maddox and Cara Gray challenge one of entrepreneurship’s most deeply held assumptions: that freedom comes later—after the growth, after the scale, after the exit, after someday. Instead, they make the case that freedom must be built now. This is not a vague life-planning book or a soft case for slowing down.

True success starts with understanding the rules no one tells you. At work, in school, and in relationships, every space has unspoken rules. Some are obvious. Most are invisible. And when we don’t know how to see or read them, it’s easy to feel overlooked, misunderstood, or stuck. Roof Rules is about navigating workplace culture, interactions, and achieving personal growth without losing who we are. It’s written for students, young professionals, early leaders, and anyone searching for confidence and purpose in systems that don’t always make sense.

You’re successful. The title, the income, the respect, the wins—on paper, you’ve made it. But somewhere along the way, you started drowning. Not in water—in meaninglessness. In long hours, missed moments, and the quiet fear that you’re climbing the wrong ladder. In May 1993, forty yards from shore in Maui, Eric Peoples faced a defining moment that exposed the lie behind achievement—and awakened a life-altering question: Will you choose yourself, or something bigger? This is not a “work-life balance” book.

AI Agents for Business Leaders introduces the Agentic Maturity Model—a five-level framework that shows exactly where your business sits today, what the next level looks like, and what changes when you get there.

One Ladder to Leadership brings attention to these challenges and defines what they look like in real workplaces.

You’ve been in that Agile planning session. Everyone agrees on goals like “improve customer experience” or “increase engagement.” The roadmap looks aligned. The OKRs are approved. But when the sprint ends, no one can clearly explain what success actually means—or why customers should care. Months later, your product team ships a feature. Customers don’t use it. Stakeholders ask uncomfortable questions. Someone says, “I thought we were building something different.” This isn’t a delivery problem. It’s a conversation problem.

AI made you faster. Hourly billing turned that speed into a pay cut. Your income isn't dropping because AI is replacing you. It's dropping because your billing model penalizes every minute AI saves you. That is the entire mechanism — and almost nobody is naming it. Not the pricing consultants. Not the AI optimists. Not the freelance communities where everyone is giving each other advice that doesn't explain why it stopped working. This is the book that names it — and gives you the framework to dismantle it.

The reality is, most managers are handed the title with little training and overwhelming expectations.

Based on research and a survey of almost 1,000 employees, this book introduces The Essential Five–a framework that distills management down to the practices that actually matter.
