Click the title link above to hear this week's Digital Business Books' Podcast about going the distance, pursuing your dream and making it a reality.

I love this week's podcast story because it combines so many great features. It talks about:

• Doing something other than a strict business venture.
  
  
• Pursuing your passion and investing in it.
  
  
• Creating something that others can enjoy, not just
  something for yourself and your family.
  
  
• Taking something barren and literally "toxic" and creating something of beauty and skill out of it.
  
  
• Leaving behind a legacy that's bigger than yourself (and even record book worthy!)
  
  
• Risking failure to be the absolute best, and disprove others' doubts about you not by defending yourself, but by being your absolute best.
  

See what Paul Fireman, the CEO of Reebok (soon to be owned by Adidas) has created, and how he has spent 7 years and 130 million dollars to make it happen!

Today we look at Bill Ford, CEO of Ford Motor Company, and how he is admitting he may not be the one to rescue Ford from it's slow demise.

He went from being voted the Stupidest VC to being the poster child of VC success!

Find out how one VC, who used to be the butt of VC jokes, is having the last laugh with his highly unusual method of investing. He hit it big twice this year, and you can apply his tactics within your own business as well.

Sometimes it's the puzzling things that really go big.

Have you tried Sudoku, the number puzzle that's in the newspapers, and the books for which outsold Harry Potter? Find out how it came to be, and use it as an example for discovering your next big idea!

As a side note, we will be postponing the opening of The Overwhelmed Entrepreneur site due to some communications setbacks I've had during a recent move.
