Mitch Joel’s boyish, slightly techie reading works well with this cutting-edge lesson on the new rules for creating and marketing a business. Though he’s excited about his message, Joel’s excellent phrasing and quiet sincerity don’t sell this content as much as invite listeners into it. His advice is to scrap most of the old rules of building a business because of how quickly customers get information from Web-based sources. Along with many specific ideas about blogs and Websites, he offers a number of memorable principles on starting a business in the digital age. This combination of incisive content and the author’s can-do attitude makes this an appealing audiobook to learn how to get yourself moving, get your brand known, and make your business a success.

The readers can't compensate for the unbearably pompous prose style of this extended parable about corporate politics and strategy.

The audiobook illuminates the misdeeds of malevolent marketers, sleazy lawyers, and unethical doctors.
Cassandra Campbell’s narration is a model of a nonfiction performance. Her reading of exposition is careful and convincing. She knows where to pause and how to move the action forward. Law professor Burch’s investigative report of the con men, grifters, and profiteers who took advantage of women who were harmed by vaginal mesh implant removal is deeply researched. The revelations of how these “professionals” colluded to scam these vulnerable women who experienced incontinence, pain, and emotional distress after their procedures is horrific. The patients whose mesh implants were removed often had no medical workups prior to surgeries and were charged egregious hidden fees. The text also exposes the legal system’s glacial pace.
