The author, founder of a billion-dollar clothing empire, offers his formula for keeping your brand real, overcoming fear, and turning your creative juices into bold action. Voice pro Todd Haberkorn sounds a lot like the author and captures every bit of Ecko's swagger and authenticity as he moves through this one-of-a-kind audio presentation. He's most effective when delivering the author's streetwise anecdotes, which are full of big-city attitude, memorable characters, and poignant reflections. The audio succeeds as a memoir as well as an entrepreneurial lesson because the rags-to-riches story is infused with appealing humility and optimism. This is an essential listen for creative people who have more desire than confidence when it comes to expressing themselves in the marketplace.

Feiler’s heartfelt performance emphasizes his message that rituals are key to forging community.
Feiler is interested in how we use rituals to connect with others in an age in which fewer people than ever are baptized, get married, or are eventually buried. He casts a wide net: filing down teeth for coming-of-age ceremonies, divorce parties, placenta burials, gender reveals, and more. Feiler isn’t a professional narrator, but his authenticity and gentle humor are clearly apparent in his voice, which lends the whole endeavor the feeling of a memoir. That seems appropriate, given that Feiler travels the world participating in Vegas weddings and Nordic cold plunges and develops his own new rituals with his family to celebrate beating cancer.

A peaceful, restorative performance that encourages conscious observation.
Author Haynes may live in London, but she grew up on a farm. Nadia Albina’s British accent and warm voice encapsulate the bucolic vibe of this investigation into tracking time by the natural world. It’s all about rhythms and cycles—the time of year, the time of day, and the inner clocks of the physical world. Primroses open their blooms at the same time every day, and sunflowers turn their heads toward the sun as they move across the sky. Haynes urges listeners to be “trill-seekers” and pay attention to the dawn chorus as the birds layer their morning songs. Together, author and narrator conjure the soft light of late afternoon and the glitter of stars in a dark sky.
