Rebellions Are Built on Resilience
Why Readiness Isn’t Enough When Everything Goes Wrong
A plan can tell you what to do. It cannot guarantee that your people, systems, processes, and leadership will actually function when the pressure is on.
In Rebellions Are Built on Resilience, cybersecurity and resilience expert Joe Beaulieu challenges leaders to rethink what it means to be “prepared.” Drawing on decades of experience across cybersecurity, government, and mission-critical environments, Joe reveals why having a plan is only the beginning—and why true resilience is the demonstrated ability to keep the mission moving when that plan is under stress.
Through practical frameworks and real-world scenarios, Joe shows leaders how to identify hidden dependencies, uncover single points of failure, define acceptable levels of degraded operation, clarify decision authority, and test whether their organization can actually function when something goes wrong.
Because recovery asks when normal returns. Resilience asks what happens until then.

THE PSYCHOLOGY OF FLOWERS
How Flowers Shape the Way We Feel, Connect & Experience the World
What if flowers could tell us something about ourselves?
In The Psychology of Flowers, Hafsa Lewis explores the surprising relationship between flowers and the human experience—how color, scent, texture, symbolism, and the natural world can influence emotion, perception, memory, connection, and well-being.
Blending her background in psychology with her work as a floral artist, Hafsa invites audiences to look at flowers differently—and to consider how something as seemingly simple as a bloom can change the way we experience a space, a moment, and one another
