About this listen
A tell-all memoir of overcoming adversity, I Laugh in the Face of Danger bravely reveals the rampant racism and misogyny that pervades Silicon Valley.
My imperfections are what have given me the strength to be who I am. But some are so powerful they are also what has held me back. The secret is finding the balance...to nurture and cherish those unique traits that empower you. To evolve and mold those things that made you struggle. You must keep them from dulling the sparkle of your uniqueness.
Throughout my journey, many who claimed to be my mentors pressured me to conform and pretend my uniqueness did not exist. That inauthentic way of life left me empty and wanting for something better, something true. In 2020, I left a lucrative tech job to start my own business and compel the next generation of leaders to find strength in their uniqueness.
This audiobook is the plot of my life...painstakingly crafted to show how I survived each of these outrageous situations, to grow, learn, and hopefully to heal. I hope they can inspire others that these challenges should not unravel you. Our stories are our foundation. Your foundation has made you unique. I want to empower you to see that uniqueness as a strength, not a point of weakness.

But the lecture he gave - "Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams" - wasn't about dying. It was about the importance of overcoming obstacles, of enabling the dreams of others, of seizing every moment (because "time is all you have... and you may find one day that you have less than you think").

An insightful, candid, and inspiring memoir from Karamo Brown - Queer Eye’s beloved culture expert - as he shares his story for the first time, exploring how the challenges in his own life have allowed him to forever transform the lives of those in need. When Karamo Brown first auditioned for the casting directors of Netflix’s Queer Eye, he knew he wouldn’t win the role of culture expert by discussing art and theater. Instead, he decided to redefine what “culture” could - and should - mean for the show. He took a risk and declared, “I am culture.”

On the surface, Arce's story sounds like a how-to manual for achieving the American dream: growing up in an apartment on the outskirts of San Antonio, she worked tirelessly, achieved academic excellence, and landed a coveted job on Wall Street, complete with a six-figure salary. The level of professional and financial success that she achieved was the very definition of the American dream. But in this brave new memoir, Arce digs deep to reveal the physical, financial, and emotional costs of the stunning secret.

If you haven't heard of the Oola phenomenon yet, it's time to catch up. First, though, you need to understand what it is: Oola is that state of awesomeness you experience when your life is balanced and growing in all the key areas of health and well-being. It can be a noun or a verb. It can be a destination or a feeling. It can be as complex as a life growing and balanced in fitness, finance, family, field, faith, friends, and fun (the seven F's of Oola), or as simple as a sunset.

Researchers estimate that the average person will influence up to eighty thousand people over the course of their lifetime—or 2.8 people daily. That’s a stadium full of people whom each of us affects in ways positive or negative, sometimes without us realizing. What if we paid attention to this fact? Would we live differently? Would we lead differently? Would we put down our phones and be more present with the people in front of us?
