In a world where the true essence of freedom is often obscured by the shadows of compliance and external control, "Forge Forward: Your Freedom is Hard Earned" emerges as a beacon of empowerment and self-ownership. Jonathan Mayo, in this transformative work, delves deep into the heart of freedom-a state where courage, determination, and the indomitable human spirit flourish beyond the confines of limitations and barriers.

It is the courage to think and act independently, cultivating a life unhindered by external forces and rich with intention.

It is a testament to the relentless pursuit of personal growth, the empowerment of others, and the creation of value that transcends the individual, fostering deep connections for a purpose-driven existence. Building upon the foundation laid in "Be Relentless," this book equips readers to shape their lives using sustainable principles that stand the test of time. It is a call to action to guard the human spirit against restraint, catalyze creativity, and expand in proportion to resistance-echoing the irrepressible life force that strives forward under adversity. We are only as strong as we are individually free. "Forge Forward: Your Freedom is Hard Earned" by Jonathan Mayo is your guide to living with intention, embracing the challenges of personal freedom, and becoming the best version of yourself for the benefit of others.

Be Relentless is the invitation for you to live the great adventure that is your life. It is not a "how-to" for success, rather it is an operating framework that draws on life lessons and sustainable principles that can stand the test of time.THE INVITATION TO LIVE YOUR GREAT ADVENTUREWithin each of us lies the greatest force of nature yet known to our species, the Indomitable Human Will. Yet so many of us spend the overwhelming majority of our lives numb, dissatisfied, and dying all while drawing breath.We all yearn to be understood, to be acknowledged, and loved. We want to be respected, yet what are we doing to earn these things?So few have taken responsibility for their lives, and for the commitments that they have to those around them. Instead, we have chosen to focus on satisfying our desire for more through consumption. Which in turn leaves us feeling dissatisfied, compiling our misery and pressuring us into an ever greater place of isolation and despair.We believe that this yearning for more is the desire to do something meaningful with our lives.To exercise sovereignty over our life.To take the difficult path and become WayMakers.Someone who in the face of extreme adversity, does not yield, but instead transforms frontiers of obstacles into landscapes of opportunity.THIS... is the potential that lies ready within each of us, crying to be unleashed.We can be the solution to the troubles that we face in this world. We can create an existence in which we may experience joy, peace, and contentment.Though be warned... there is no guarantee that we will see tomorrow, much less the next year or decade. Life rushes past us with cruel indifference, uncaringly consuming each second that ticks by as we progress toward the grave.Therefore it is critical that we do not allow time to pass us unintentionally, and whether we are waking up to this realization in our 20s or our 70s, it is never too late to take the first step.To evolve.To create.To love.It is upon us to strive forward, taking relentless action toward the highest version of ourselves, and to strip away everything that dares to hold us back.

A fascinating look at how MLB teams find diamonds in the roughIn the plainest of terms, baseball scouts are tasked with seeing the future--a distant future, at that. Baseball's long developmental arc leaves room for plenty of twists and turns on the way to The Show. Some prospects shoot like arrows toward their projected potential, while others fizzle out or chart an unexpected course.Joey Votto was a lightly scouted high schooler out of Ontario, Canada. Charlie Blackmon was once coveted for his left arm more than his offensive potential. Mookie Betts "lost interest in the draft" as he went unselected round after round. Jacob deGrom refused to relinquish his role as a shortstop. Lorenzo Cain never even put on a baseball glove until high school--and then wore it on the wrong hand.Smart, Wrong, and Lucky explores how first impressions measure up to their aftermaths: the draft, years of progression, and for a talented few, major league success. MLB.com writer Jonathan Mayo profiles a diverse range of modern stars and looks at them through the eyes of those who noticed them first as prospects.Featuring exclusive interviews with scouts, players, coaches, and more, this fascinating collection of origin stories is an ode to baseball's endless possibilities.
