The Chris Voss Show Podcast – Financial Fortress by Stephen Powell Jun 28, 2026

Show notes

Financial Fortress by Stephen Powell https://www.amazon.com/Financial-Fortress-Stephen-Powell/dp/B0H4862V2S A sudden medical crisis or market crash can destroy decades of hard work in an instant. Are you building a financial plan that only works when everything goes right? In January 2022, financial professional Stephen Powell walked into the gym for a routine morning workout. Moments later, an aortic dissection caused him to collapse, paralyzing his left side, stripping away his speech, and leaving him with less than a 1% chance of survival. He survived by God’s grace, but he woke up to a harrowing realization: He was the sole breadwinner, and his traditional financial plan had no backup for a real-life crisis. This life altering experience exposed a massive gap in modern financial literacy. Most people are expertly taught how to accumulate money, but they are never taught how to structure it. They blindly follow the standard formula buy stocks, maximize the 401(k), trust the process only to find themselves walking straight into the "Accumulation Trap." In Financial Fortress, Powell shares his deeply personal journey and strips away traditional financial jargon to reveal how wealthy families truly protect, access, and transfer their money. This book is an architectural blueprint for the everyday family provider who carries heavy responsibilities and realizes that a high income alone is not the same as security. Through practical frameworks and eye-opening illustrations, Powell maps out the Four Pillars of a Financial Fortress: Protection, Growth, Control, and Legacy. You will learn how to transition from simple accumulation to true financial architecture, giving every dollar a distinct job. Stop managing your future with hope and optimism alone. Build a system. Achieve clarity. Protect the people you love.

The Chris Voss Show Podcast – Fair Share: How Men and Women Can Create a More Equitable Workplace Together by W. Brad Johnson, David G. Smith Jun 23, 2026

Show notes

Fair Share: How Men and Women Can Create a More Equitable Workplace Together by W. Brad Johnson, David G. Smith https://www.amazon.com/Fair-Share-Equitable-Workplace-Together/dp/1647826829 How outdated work norms undermine careers, caregiving, and gender equity—and how leaders can fix the system. The workplace is broken—and it's holding everyone back. Women still struggle to grow in their careers, while men who endeavor to do their part at home are often stigmatized. This disconnect means that even when men take part in flexible work arrangements or contribute to caregiving, women end up picking up the slack and missing out on professional opportunities. If companies want to reach their full potential and achieve true fairness at work, the workplace must change—and it starts at the top. In Fair Share, gender-in-the-workplace experts W. Brad Johnson and David G. Smith offer a blueprint for how leaders can break down systemic barriers across the organization so that men can do more outside of paid work and women can take their rightful place in the ranks of corporate leadership. They suggest focusing on three key areas: Rethinking company culture and the structure of work Going all-in on caregiving options and employee benefits Making gender fairness routine through process and policies Filled with examples and insights from both men and women, Fair Share offers a look at what companies can become when leaders finally break down the obstacles holding everyone back. By working together, men and women can create a better workplace, one where every individual can achieve what they want—both at work and at home.

The Chris Voss Show Podcast – Battle for the Truth: Second Edition Creation Versus Evolution by H D Chiou Jun 21, 2026

Show notes

Battle for the Truth: Second Edition Creation Versus Evolution by H D Chiou https://www.amazon.com/dp/196986575X WHAT IS THE TRUTH: CREATION OR EVOLUTION? The secular culture in which we live operates under the assumption that evolution is true. But the proof points to the biblical story of creation as being the Truth. As you read this book, you will learn: How scientists proved that "in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth" (Genesis 1:1)." How historical facts and fossil findings proves "the initial creation of plants and animals were in the mature stage and according to their kinds." How initial life could not have been formed by "spontaneous generation." Where was the starting point of evolution? Whether or not scientists can create matter and then use matter to create life. How Charles Darwin only observed micro-evolution and whether his theory can be legitimately applied to macro-evolution. How the recent discovery of the DNA structure, the development of the intelligent design theory, and the amazing structure of the human body all point to creation.
