Mrs. Craddock by W. Somerset Maugham Loyal Books “I thought it was you I saw coming up the hill,” she said, stretching out her hand.He stopped and shook it; the touch of his big, firm fingers made her tremble. His hand was massive and hard as if it were hewn of stone. She looked up at him and smiled.“Isn’t it cold?” she said.

The Play Big Movement Sharon Lechter If you want to be #1 in your field, live your legacy and create maximum impact, The Play Big Movement Podcast is for you. The Play Big Movement was inspired by Sharon Lechter's desire and dedication to play big again after suffering the devastating loss of her son in 2012. After a career of playing big as the driving force behind the talking books industry, the Rich Dad brand and the revival of Think and Grow Rich, the loss of her son stopped her in her tracks…shifting her focus and business endeavors into neutral or autopilot. Today, in honor of her son Sharon is pursuing greatness yet again and is opening her success manual to you so you can join her in the Play Big Movement. In each episode of the Play Big Movement Podcast, Sharon interviews people who are the best in their field: experts, entrepreneurs, business owners, authors, creatives, and all-around successes.
