 Torture Central 

Do as you’re told and don’t ask questions. This culture of intimidation is one that Michael Keller says he became all too familiar with while serving in the army. And once he found himself in Iraq at the Abu Ghraib prison in 2005, what he saw and heard began to put him at odds with everything he believed in, everything he felt the United States stood for. After speaking up against what he saw and nearly being punished for it, Keller decided that all he could do was detail what he saw in the e-mails he sent back home. Those e-mails are compiled in his self published book, Torture Central.

After going from $100,000 in debt to debt free in just 3 years, people are listening to what Travis Moody has to say.

After all, he had been a successful financial executive with several Fortune 500 companies for more than 15 years. But even though he thought he understood money, he found out he didn’t know it all. After a failed business deal, a significant increase in personal debt, and the purchase of a dream home that became a nightmare, Moody realized he was enslaved to a lifestyle that was beyond his means.
