Their international fame was built via blogs and by delivering entertaining keynotes at international conferences. Now they share how they think, talk, lie, kiss and tell. You will learn how to pee on yourself or tell pink lies and find out why making enemies is a good thing. Reading a design book has never been more fun and creative entrepreneurship has never been as inspiring as doing it the Snask way!

Forget about building a business—businesses fail and fade into oblivion. Start a revolution instead. James Watt started a rebellion against tasteless mass market beers by founding BrewDog, now one of the world’s best-known and fastest growing craft breweries, famous for beers, bars, and crowdfunding. In this smart, funny book, he shares his story and explains how you too can tear up the rule book and start a company on your own terms. It’s an anarchic, DIY guide to entrepreneurship—and a new manifesto for business. After spending seven years on the high seas of the North Atlantic, James Watt started BrewDog craft brewery in Scotland with his best friend, Martin Dickie. They didn’t have a business plan. All they had was a mis­sion to revolutionize beer drinking and make other people as passionate about craft beer as they are. They’ve succeeded. Within a few years, BrewDog was huge—a world-famous craft brewery with beer bars around the globe and hundreds of thousands of fans. Those fans became literal backers of their business with the introduction of an unprecedented crowdfunding movement, Equity for Punks. And in rewriting the record books and kickstarting a revolution—James and BrewDog inadvertently forged a whole new approach to business. Business for Punks bottles the essence of James’s methods in an accessible, honest mani­festo. Among his mantras: · Cash is motherf*cking king. Cash is the lifeblood of your company. Monitor every penny as if your life depends on it—because it does. · Get people to hate you. You won’t win by try­ing to make everyone happy, so don’t bother. Let haters fuel your fire while you focus on your hard-core fans. · Steal and bastardize from other fields. Take inspiration freely wherever you find it— except from people in your own industry. · Job interviews suck. They never reveal if someone will be a good employee, only how good that person is at interviews. Instead, take them for a test drive and see if they’re passionate and a good culture fit. Business for Punks rethinks conventional business wisdom so you can go beyond the norm. It’s an anarchic, indispensable guide to thriving on your own terms.

Starting a business is one thing. Making that business successful is quite another. We've all read the failure statistics of start-ups, yet we entrepreneurs are a determined bunch of people – we are not easily deterred and will try, and try, and try again. We are the drivers of economic growth and job creation, but sadly we are often the unsung heroes of the South African economy. With the lack of support for start-ups and absence of knowledge-sharing, being an entrepreneur is far from easy and what is missing is business guidance and mentorship. Mistakes are made that could be avoided. We certainly don't have all the answers all of the time, especially when we're starting out. But you know who does? Those who've been down the same path before. And that is where the value of this book, The Book Every Entrepreneur Has to Read, lies. It is full of sage advice, lessons learned, and thousands of hours of hard-earned knowledge from thriving entrepreneurs, covering ... What they wish they knew when they were starting out. What they wouldn't do again, and the lesson learned. Wisdom they have picked up along the entrepreneurial journey from mindset to idea, planning to execution, funding to partnerships, networking to negotiating, innovation to strategy, hiring to company culture, social media to technology, and everything in between. Don't become a statistic – start reading and make notes and lists of what you can do today, to not only negotiate the sometimes hazardous entrepreneurial journey, but excel from a great idea to a successful business.

Lean into the unhinged world of The Alternative Commentary Collective, where a decade of New Zealand sporting conquest and catastrophe is captured and celebrated in irreverent ACC style. From their ‘dangerously sexual’ beginnings in an abandoned mobile P-lab to the media colossus that bestrides Aotearoa today, here is the ACC in full colour, and in their own, inimitable words. Relive the ecstasy of the 2021 World Test Championship Final, the heartbreak of rugby shockers and cricket calamities, and the countless examples of punishing and heroic behaviour off the field: The Cake Tin helicopter landing. Manginagate. The stadium bans. Amsterdam. The Beige Brigade. More content about Mike Lane’s...equipment... than you could ever need. The nicknames. The scores and stats. The animal facts. The great New Zealanders. And a catalogue of practical guidance on everything from streaking and smuggling booze to skinning cats and penning the perfect parody song.

Whether you are an ACC lifer or a first-time texter to 0221 CURLY 6, this book promises a journey into the bowels of New Zealand sport — by the fans and for the fans. Strap in for a seditious sortie filled with fear, loathing and the frequent absurdity that defines the Alternative Commentary Collective. You have been warned . . .

"It's actually quite good." - Daniel Vettori "‘Of all the innovations in cricket over the past decade, by far the worst has been the inexorable rise of the Alternative Commentary Collective." - Bryn Waddell "I’d like to distance myself as far away as possible from the contents of this book." – Jason Hoyte
