Book Description
His unlikely journey is a roadmap for every dreamer. From an Amish farm to the stadium lights of the National Football League, Zach Olstad's path to success was no sprint to the endzone. Every yard gained and lost was a lesson. Every play was an exercise, a dance of both mind and muscle, of progress and pain. Every step was a stumble forward to eventually finding he was more than his aspirations. The farm fundamentals of his youth shaped Olstad's foundation. The practical sensibilities of his Amish neighbors, combined with the daily work ethic of his hard-working family taught the Minnesota boy how to live without; how to do more with less. And when his weary working day was done, he dreamed of Football. Slowly Zach turned his obsession into tangible possession. As if driven by an unseen force, he pushed himself past his own perceived limits. Even when it seemed his dream would take forever at best, he bench-pressed the heavy weight of his long wait, and in the process developed both the sinew of his physique and the power of his patience. Possessing nothing, not even a scholarship, Olstad took on both his college classes, his coaches, and even the persistent pain of countless game injuries. Despite every obstacle, the farm boy allowed 'nothing' to block his path - his relentless work horse furrow down the field. The founding principles he learned directed him. The slow burn of his patient persistence kept the fire within him alive. Every disappointment reminded him; every defeat, refined him. Until finally, fullback Zach Olstad found himself in a uniform of buffalo bill blue, standing on his stadium field of dreams. His unlikely journey is a roadmap for every dreamer... who is willing to be a Work Horse.

Workhorse

Pages : 304

Book Description
A razor-sharp look at one woman’s nearly two decades in the New York City restaurant, including her time working with Joe Bastianich, and what happens when your job consumes your life. By day, Kim Reed was a social worker to the homebound elderly in Brooklyn Heights. By night, she scrambled into Manhattan to hostess at Babbo, where even the Pope would have had trouble scoring a reservation, and A-list celebrities squeezed through the jam-packed entryway like everyone else. Despite her whirlwind fifteen-hour workdays, Kim remained up to her eyeballs in grad school debt. Her training—problem solving, crisis intervention, dealing with unpredictable people and random situations—made her the ideal assistant for the volatile Joe Bastianich, a hard-partying, “What's next?” food and wine entrepreneur. He rose to fame in Italy as a TV star while Kim planned parties, fielded calls, and negotiated deals from two phones on the go. Decadent food, summers in Milan, and a reservation racket that paid in designer bags and champagne were fun only inasmuch as they filled the void left by being always on call and on edge. In a blink, the years passed, and one day Kim looked up and realized that everything she wanted beyond her job—friends, a relationship, a family, a weekend without twenty ominous emails dropping into her inbox—was out of reach. Workhorse is a deep-dive into coming of age in the chaos of New York City’s foodie craze and an all-too-relatable look at what happens when your job takes over your identity, and when a scandal upends your understanding of where you work and what you do.. After spending years making the impossible possible for someone else, Kim realized she had to do the same for herself.
