Book excerpt: Dr. Dick Pritchard was a successful high technology manager and business builder for major research and development programs in the US defense industry and academia. At the peak of his career, his salary and bonuses topped $200,000 a year. But then the unthinkable happened. Just before his 65th birthday, he lost his job. The Great Recession of 2008-2010 was at its peak. How would he recover from this? Prospects for finding another job in his location or in that industry were low. What if... he thought completely out of the box and did something different and unexpected? Baby Boomer Rock Star is the inspiring story of how Dr. Dick came back from that loss. It tells of the dream he had as a young man and how he brought it back to life when it mattered most. And even though he was well versed in new technology, he did something almost no one else in the network marketing industry was doing... he went back to direct mail to create systems that gave amazing results for him and the teams he created. Postcard Marketing Systems that * Offered FREE Postcards to Members * Generated Leverage as the group grew * Created Success for fellow Boomers and others More than an instruction or "how to" book, this is the compelling story of how Dr. Dick overcame the trials and struggles of starting a new business without a lot of money or experience. He had to "learn and earn" as he went. There were many trials along the way. You'll not only love learning his secrets, but you'll be moved by his story. He even shares links to his systems and information outlets. You'll want to share this book with your family, your friends, and your fellow networkers.

Book Synopsis Baby Boomers and Popular Culture by : Brian Cogan

Download or read book Baby Boomers and Popular Culture written by Brian Cogan. This book was released on 2014-11-25. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Boomers are the generation that changed everything, from economics to politics to popular culture. This book examines the myriad ways and long-reaching consequences of the now fully "grown up" Baby Boomer generation on America. Once upon a time, the members of the Baby Boomer generation were young, idealistic, and hungry to change the world. And they did create sweeping, irreversible changes throughout American society—but probably not in the ways their younger selves imagined they would. Now that the Boomers are in their late-adult or retirement years, their tremendous legacy can clearly be perceived. In retrospect, the paths the members of this generation took to come to power—and how they came to terms with that power—are also apparent. This single-volume work supplies a broad yet detailed critical guide to the Boomer Generation, containing essays on key people, moments, and phenomena not only during the Boomers' 1960s heyday but also their extensive influences on American culture decades afterward. The contributors address key topics such as the rise of feminism; Civil Rights; the Vietnam War and the anti-war movement; the Beatles, the Grateful Dead, and rock 'n roll; gay rights; idealism, narcissism, and materialism; the influence of television on America, and vice versa; and the transition of Boomers from being "Yippies" to "Yuppies." This work is an ideal text for students in undergraduate or graduate courses in television studies, media studies, cultural studies, and American studies; and is highly appropriate as a supplemental text in literature, history, and philosophy surveys.

Book Synopsis A Baby Boomer's Last Stand by : Jon Alexander Young

Download or read book A Baby Boomer's Last Stand written by Jon Alexander Young. This book was released on 2020-10-16. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first volume of Jon Alexander Young's new trilogy A Baby Boomer's Last Stand: A True Story of a Novel Life from Truman to Trump, is an insightful biography of an entrepreneur that millions of people probably thought they knew, after having seen him onstage or appearing in all forms of the media for the past fifty years, but actually never really knew at all.Throughout the last half of the twentieth century, this baby boomer was pioneer in many cultural changes that occurred in America during that time while also trying to show people how to have fun....at least for a while.During his unique and different career choices as an editor and publisher of a ground breaking national newspaper; one of America' s first nightclub and disco promoters; an award winning songwriter and theatrical producer; to a "sometimes" rock star and even well-known gambler and poker player; this baby boomer crossed paths and partied with hundreds of world famous entertainers and celebrities, politicians, sports legends, rock stars, and even some notorious mobsters. But most never saw any connections between those aspects of his life when they may have met him, because it all depended on what name he was using at the time.These volumes of books are more than the typical sex, drugs and rock and roll story, but are a very personal and detailed recollection of the funny, crazy, hedonistic, dramatic and fateful decisions that many may associate with their own personal journeys during those times.From Las Vegas, Hollywood and Beverly Hills, to eventually almost every corner of the United States (and sometimes the world), this journey should bring smiles to those who remember the people, places, events, and especially the music of the baby boomer era.The reader can experience "walking in the shoes" of somebody who some people may condemn today, but also somebody who once was looked at with envy before it became too "politically incorrect" to do so.From Truman to Trump was a long journey for most baby boomers and it all starts here.
