Stephanie McMahon is an American businesswoman and professional wrestling personality. She is the WWE's chief brand officer (CBO) and appears as an on-screen authority figure and occasional wrestler on both the Raw and SmackDown brands.
The daughter of Vince and Linda McMahon, she is a fourth-generation wrestling promoter and a member of the McMahon family. She began working for WWE at age 13, modeling merchandise for various catalogs. McMahon began appearing regularly on-air for WWE (then WWF as the World Wrestling Federation) in 1999 as a part of a storyline with The Undertaker. After a brief on-screen relationship with Test, she was engaged to Triple H — whom she married both on-screen and later in real life — which resulted in the McMahon-Helmsley faction storyline.

She returned to regular on-air appearances in 2013 under the gimmick of a hypocritical, judgmental, bullying owner and on-screen chief operating officer, Triple H.
They became a power couple and formed the stable The Authority, making what were often shady decrees while claiming only to be concerned for "what's best for business," all the while romanticizing each other in the process with public displays of affection. McMahon wrestled her final in-ring match at WrestleMania 34 in April 2018, after which she continued to focus on executive roles in the company.
McMahon's business career began as an account executive for the WWF offices in New York before becoming the company's head writer and director of creative writing. In 2006, she was promoted to senior vice president of creative writing. A year later, she became the executive vice president of creative. From 2013 to 2022, McMahon served as the company's chief brand officer. In July 2022, McMahon was named the chairwoman and co-CEO of WWE, alongside Nick Khan, following her father's retirement.

Few books have had as deep an effect on me as Cal Newport’s Deep Work. In an attention-deficit economy, we have lost the ability to focus and solve complex problems—and that means our careers are at risk. More companies embrace open offices, Slack, work-from-home policies, and build remote teams.&nbsp;
When was the last time you focused for just 60 minutes? Or when was the last time you had “real work” done? In the first half of the book, Cal explains why deep work is so valuable and increasingly rare in today’s attention-deficit economy.
Shallow work is made up of non-cognitively demanding tasks (easy to do while distracted) that can be performed while semi-distracted. These jobs (and workers) are easily replicated—it’s a race to the bottom for your career. The ability to work deeply is perhaps the most valuable skill you can master.

Legendary venture capitalist John Doerr reveals how Objectives and Key Results (OKRs), a system he learned from Intel and Google, has helped tech giants from Intel to Google achieve explosive growth—and how it can help any organization thrive. In the fall of 1999, John Doerr met with the founders of a start-up to whom he gave $12. 5 million, the biggest investment of his career.&nbsp;
Larry Page and Sergey Brin had amazing technology, entrepreneurial energy, and sky-high ambitions, but no real business plan. For Google to change the world (or even to survive), Page and Brin had to learn how to make tough choices on priorities while keeping their team on track.&nbsp;
They'd have to know when to pull the plug on losing propositions, with OKRs they could measure what mattered. Doerr taught them about a proven approach to operating excellence: Objectives and Key Results (OKRs), a system he learned from Intel and Google.

Larry Page is an American computer scientist and Internet entrepreneur who co-founded Google, one of the world’s most successful and influential technology companies. He is currently the CEO of Alphabet Inc., Google’s parent company.
Page was born in East Lansing, Michigan, in 1973. His parents, Carl and Gloria Page, were both computer science professors at Michigan State University. He grew up in a technologically rich environment and was exposed to computers at a young age.
Page attended the University of Michigan, where he earned a B.S. in computer engineering in 1995. He then went on to Stanford University, where he earned a Ph.D. in computer science in 1998. During his time at Stanford, Page and fellow graduate student Sergey Brin began working on a project to develop a search engine called BackRub. This would eventually become Google.
Page and Brin founded Google in 1998 and co-led the company as president of products and president of technology, respectively. Under their leadership, Google quickly grew into one of the world’s largest and most influential technology companies. In 2011, Page took over as Google’s CEO. In 2015, Page and Brin created Alphabet Inc., a holding company for Google and its related companies. The two continue to serve as CEOs of Alphabet Inc. and Google, respectively.
Throughout his career, Page has been recognized for his innovation and leadership. In 2012, he was named one of the “100 Most Influential People in the World” by Time magazine. He is also a member of the National Academy of Engineering and a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
Page is a major philanthropist, having donated millions of dollars to causes such as climate change, education, health, and poverty. He also co-founded the Carl Victor Page Memorial Foundation, which provides scholarships to students in the fields of computer science and engineering.

Award-Winning Bestseller. You're either a Purple Cow or you're not. You're either remarkable or invisible. Make your choice. What do Starbucks and JetBlue and Krispy Kreme and Apple and DutchBoy and Kensington and Zespri and Hard Candy have that you don't?
&nbsp;How did they confound critics and achieve spectacular growth, leaving behind former tried-and-true brands to gasp their last? Face it, the checklist of tired Ps marketers have used for decades to get their product noticed -- Pricing, Promotion, Publicity -- isn't working anymore. There's an exceptionally important P that has to be added.
It's Purple Cow. Cows, after you've seen one, two, or ten, are boring. A Purple Cow is something phenomenal, something counterintuitive and exciting and flat-out unbelievable.

Deep Work is perhaps the most valuable skill you can learn and leverage in our attention-deficit society.

New York Times bestselling author and social media expert Gary Vaynerchuk shares hard-won advice on how to connect with customers and beat the competition.
A mash-up of the best elements of Crush It! and The Thank You Economy with a fresh spin, Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook is a blueprint for social media marketing strategies that really work.
When managers and marketers outline their social media strategies, they plan for the “right hook”—their next sale or campaign that’s going to knock out the competition.
Even companies committed to jabbing—patiently engaging with customers to build the relationships crucial to successful social media campaigns—want to land the punch that will take down their opponent or their customer’s resistance in one blow. Right hooks convert traffic to sales and easily show results. Except when they don’t.
Thanks to massive change and proliferation in social media platforms, the winning combination of jabs and right hooks is different now. Vaynerchuk shows that while communication is still key, context matters more than ever.
It’s not just about developing high-quality content but developing high-quality content perfectly adapted to specific social media platforms and mobile devices—content tailor-made for Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter, and Tumblr.
