About this listen
Pete is an addict. He's addicted to the pursuit of money and success - and all of the schedules, goals and incentives that go with it. There's never enough time in the day.
He knows he asks a lot of his long-suffering assistant Jan. But sales is a high-pressure business, and she knew the job when she took it on. It's not his fault she barely sees her family these days.
A chance encounter with a new colleague in a coffee shop is about to change Pete's life forever. At first, he's convinced Chris is a new recruit desperate to learn the ropes from an old hand like him. Little does he realize, he's the one who has so much to learn.
When their company's leadership crisis turns everything on it's head, Pete finds himself in the middle of a struggle for power and control-with a tragic conclusion.
In a story that will be familiar to some and moving for all, Pete begins to understand the true power of relationships and manages to embrace a new reality in which time as he knows it will never be the same.

Me and the legendary Zimmerman twins - it's a friendship made in geek heaven. And it all started back when I worked for the NSA... My best friend Basia dragged me to the beach for her idea of a vacation. All those annoying people, sand in embarrassing places - not exactly R & R for a girl who doesn't like the sun, the ocean, or bathing suits. I couldn't wait to get back to work. But things started looking up when I ran into Elvis and Xavier Zimmerman. We discovered we had a lot in common: gaming, anchovies, hacking.
