New Release-Virx-Leonatus Culture: The Codex 

 

Title:   Virx-Leonatus Culture: The Codex

Author:  by Keenan L. McBride

Genre:     Non-Fiction/Business/Leadership

Format: eBook, Hard and Soft Cover

Publisher: Independent

Length:   76 pages

Publication Date: December, 2025

Synopsis:

The Virx-Leonatus (VX) Culture Codex is more than a book—
It is a codex of refinement, a guide for the individual who seeks mastery not only of career or influence, but of presence, intellect, and character. Within these pages lie the foundational pillars of VX culture: disciplined confidence, courtesy elevated to charisma, empathy used strategically as strength, and an appreciation for art, history, and beauty as catalysts for human expansion. This codex reveals how culture is not ornament, but architecture. It shows how exposure to art, music, literature, wine, and theater awakens perception, deepens emotional intelligence, and broadens perspective—allowing one to lead with greater clarity, connection, and wisdom. It is written from the point of view of strengthening men but contains principles that benefit anyone looking to elevate their presence.

Inspired by the emblematic power of the lion, Virx-Leonatus teaches that true strength is quiet, sovereign, and patient. The lion does not roar to prove its dominance—its presence commands respect, its restraint earns loyalty, and its action, when taken, is precise and decisive. This philosophy becomes a model for leadership and life: power guided by empathy, ambition balanced by humanity, confidence without arrogance, and influence rooted in genuine regard for others.

For the rising leader, the cultured professional, or anyone who desires to refine how they think, speak, and move in the world—this codex offers a blueprint. It is a manual for gaining trust without force, loyalty without demand, respect without threat. It reveals how quiet strength, empathy, and determination make one magnetic rather than imposing—and how a cultivated mind paired with composure becomes a force of irresistible authority. This is the Virx-Leonatus standard. A lifestyle. A discipline. A legacy in the making. For those ready to elevate presence, command respect through character, and lead with both mind and heart—this book is not an option. It is a necessity.

New Release-The Post-Managerial Era of Capitalism: Organizational Design as the Next Innovation Frontier

\

Title:    The Post-Managerial Era of Capitalism

Subtitle:    Organizational Design as the Next Innovation Frontier

Author:   Hunter Hastings

Genre: Non-Fiction/Business

Format: eBook, Hard and Soft Cover

Publisher: Cambridge University Press

Length:   164 pages

Publication Date: January 8, 2026

Synopsis:

Traditional business management was the machinery of control for industrial organizations that had sprawled beyond the oversight of their founders, an organizational innovation that became a profession and a science. The aim was the stability and predictability the financial sector demanded. But control brought increasing costs: (1) slow response to market changes, leaving established firms behind innovative newcomers; (2) bureaucratic inertia that strangled flexibility; (3) disengaged employees who felt their creativity and agility stifled. These failures weakened firms and lowered economic productivity. In the Kuhnian framework of scientific revolutions, the management paradigm entered crisis mode. Consistent with the Kuhnian framing, businesses are moving beyond management. Self-organization and enterprise flow are revolutionizing business models. Interconnected ecosystems replace bounded industries. Experimentation and feedback replace traditional strategic planning. Dynamic, autonomous teams replace hierarchies of authority. Liberated companies embrace dynamic cohesion rather than the rigidities of business administration. They operate in a post-managerial era.

New Release-Market Entry Intelligence: FDA, Regulation and Growth Strategy for International Companies


Title:    Market Entry Intelligence

Subtitle:    FDA, Regulation and Growth Strategy for International Companies

Author:   Carlos Bisio

Genre: Non-Fiction/Business

Format: eBook, Hard and Soft Cover

Publisher: FastForward Publishing

Length:   132 pages

Publication Date: December 29, 2025

Synopsis:

Market Entry Intelligence is a strategic guide for international companies seeking to expand into the United States—one of the world’s most competitive and regulated markets.

Written for CEOs, founders, directors, export managers, and entrepreneurs across LATAM and beyond, this book integrates two worlds rarely explained together: U.S. business expansion strategy and FDA regulatory awareness.

Instead of technical manuals or bureaucratic instructions, this book offers executive-level insights, real-world scenarios, and a practical framework for evaluating readiness, reducing risk, and accelerating growth.

Readers will learn:

  • Why the U.S. market rewards precision, preparation, and compliance.

  • The regulatory risks that silently block international growth.

  • How labeling, documentation, and FDA expectations shape commercial success.

  • How companies from food, beverage, cosmetics, supplements, and medical device sectors can position themselves to win.

  • How Amazon and retail channels interpret regulatory risk.

With more than 10,000 companies advised, Carlos Bisio distills years of global experience into a playbook designed to help brands make smarter decisions, avoid costly mistakes, and build a sustainable, long-term presence in the United States.

This is not a technical manual—it is strategic intelligence for leaders who want clarity, confidence, and a competitive advantage.

Author:   Marc Zirogiannis

Genre: Non-Fiction/Autobiography/Sports/Taekwondo

Format: Paperback

58 Pages

Publisher: Taekwondo Life Magazine

Publication Date:  October 2025

Synopsis: The title of this book was very specifically chosen. Unlike many books, even ones I have written in the past, which are intended for a wide audience, the focus of this work is specific. “Kill or Be Killed”. Those words are sincere. We practice and train not to fight. We hope never to be in a life or death situation; however, the notion of this book is that in the event an attack is inevitable we must be prepared to defend ourselves and our loved ones at all costs. We take this responsibility seriously; violence is our last resort. “Real World Self-Defense For Tae Kwon Do Masters”. This audience is specific. With defending oneself so severely the task is daunting and requires discipline, maturity, and serious training….
