In his early 20s, Curtis Jackson, known as 50 Cent, rose to the heights of fame and power in the cutthroat music business. A decade ago, the multi-platinum selling rap artist decided to pivot. His ability to adapt to change was demonstrated when he became the executive producer and star of Power, a high-octane, gripping crime drama centered around a drug kingpin's family. The series quickly became "appointment" television, leading to Jackson inking a four-year, $150 million contract with the Starz network - the most lucrative deal in premium cable history.

Leadership is not about titles, status and power over people. Leaders are people who hold themselves accountable for recognising the potential in people and ideas and developing that potential. This is an audiobook for everyone who is ready to choose courage over comfort, make a difference and lead. When we dare to lead, we don't pretend to have the right answers; we stay curious and ask the right questions. We don't see power as finite and hoard it; we know that power becomes infinite when we share it and work to align authority and accountability.

a network marketer's 'must read'
- By KieraKnight04 on 12-10-16
Summary
For women entrepreneurs (and anyone sick of the status quo), this smart, unapologetic collection delivers 50 proven hacks to leapfrog over obstacles and succeed in business.
Think the most critical factor for becoming a great entrepreneur is grit, risk taking, or technical skills? Think again. Despite what every other business book might say, historical data show the real secret ingredients to getting ahead in business are being rich, white, and male.
Until now. Leapfrog is the decades-overdue start-up bible for the rest of us. It's filled with uncompromising guidance for winning at business your way. Leapfrog is for entrepreneurs of all stripes who are fed up with status quo advice - the kind that assumes you have rich friends and family and a public relations team.
Refreshingly frank and witty, author Nathalie Molina Niño is a serial tech entrepreneur, the founder and CEO of BRAVA Investments, and a proud daughter of Latinx immigrants. While teaching budding entrepreneurs at Barnard College at Columbia University and searching the globe for investment-worthy start-ups, she has met or advised thousands of entrepreneurs who've gone from zero to scalable business. Here she shares their best secrets in the form of 50 "leapfrogs" - clever loopholes and shortcuts to outsmart, jump over, or straight up annihilate the seemingly intractable hurdles facing entrepreneurs who don't have family money, cultural capital, or connections.
Critic reviews
"A must-read for any woman who has a great idea and the nagging thought that doors are closed to her; Molina Niño helps to blow them open." (Publishers Weekly)

Great, until it became painful to listen to
Some people write great stories and some people can tell great stories. For someone who studied theater, Natalie should have known that she was not the best person to read her own book to us.
Don't get me wrong, the book is full of good takeaways, but it really should have been divided in two books, not one.
It was interesting (I love entrepreneurship) until hack #25. By hack#29 it became painful to listen to. I forced myself to finish listening to it because I don't like unfinished things.
I'm not quite sure what it was about this book that made it so tough to listen to. Perhaps it was Natalie's less than enthusiastic monotone voice, or the countless examples of entrepreneurship in the tech world, or the less than authentic cursing. She definitely DID NOT play "her woman card" here (one of her hacks). Instead, she came across as another tech woman who had to grow an imaginary penis in user to make it in the industry. Which she did!
My advice to listeners would be: READ the book, don't listen to it.
My advice to Natalie would be: Great tips! But, play your woman card authentically... and DON'T read us your next book.
I'll definitely try some of the hacks.

wow, not your typical business advice book
I’m an experienced entrepreneur (in biotech/pharma) so I didn’t expect to learn a lot from this book, but I wanted to read it anyway because I know Nathalie Molina Nino is an extraordinarily interesting, engaging person. However, I found Leapfrog enlightening in several areas and I’m already employing some of the hacks! Nathalie has her own compelling voice and ideas which could form a satisfying book on their own, and then she brings into play an amazing network of entrepreneur friends with their unique perspective and earned wisdom. Somehow with all these various voices, it doesn’t feel disjointed at all. Nathalie’s style is at the same time fun and serious - both guilty pleasure and productive homework.
Being a woman entrepreneur has been a constant hurdle for me personally and I’m excited to see building awareness of conscious and unconscious bias in business. Nathalie's mission to accelerate society’s painfully slow movement towards equality by helping us leapfrog our businesses is much appreciated. While some of my favorite hacks are specific and practical, the word ‘hack’ understates the depth of some of the best advice in this book, which speaks to finding your truth, learning how to tell your honest story, and stepping up your generosity. Okay, I’m on it!

Outcomes over Optics
So many good hacks for early-stage entrepreneurs. I'm fond of the DIY Business School method and also, taking advantage of white-label solutions. Was talking about white-labeling the other day and wasn't sure if it was a good idea. I'm glad that was mentioned. The whole book is great and to hear it in the author's voice is key! Now we need a post-Covid follow up.
