The War Against Trevor (LaBonte) by Gilad Atzmon

Until two years ago, Trevor LaBonte was one of the most successful Jazz artists in Texas. He had been performing every night and in the most prestigious venues. He was the first-call guitar player for many of Austin’s prominent musicians. But then it all changed.

David Spero had an early start in the music/ media business: holding cue cards on the Upbeat show that his father, Herman Spero, produced. And by the time that he had graduated from high school, he had already had years of experience as an “on air” radio personality. During that tenure, he played at least a role in helping Bruce Springsteen and other rock luminaries ignite their career.

Karyn Beach does not expect women, or anybody else for that matter to perform miracles. Her message is not necessarily about having it all: a great job, great family, etc. But she does encourage them to at least organize themselves and work towards their potential whatever that potential might be. And she has written a series of books that help readers achieve that objective. As she puts it: “A goal without a plan is just wishful thinking. The purpose of Getting to Goal is to help women define what they want most and develop an action plan for making those dreams and desires a reality.”
