J oin us to celebrate the launch of The Ambition Trap , a groundbreaking new book by Amina AlTai that redefines ambition—especially for those who’ve been historically excluded from traditional narratives of success. Co-hosted by Elizabeth Kott, celebrated podcaster (That's So Retrograde, Too Niche) and LA based creative: ✨ A thought-provoking conversation with Amina and Elizabeth on reclaiming ambition on your own terms ✨ A special book signing and behind-the-scenes insights from Amina. ( Each ticket includes one book ) Most of us think ambition means doing everything in our power to get what we want. But this approach costs us our health and wellbeing, and ultimately upholds oppressive systems. In The Ambition Trap , leadership coach Amina AlTai shows you how to break the cycle of overwork once and for all—and finally create the greatest, most joy-filled work of your life. Drawing on her work with Fortune 500 leaders, Olympic gold medalists, start-up founders, and former “girlbosses,” AlTai guides you through the process of reconciling your ambition, starting with healing the core wounds and insecurities currently driving you. Along the way, she introduces actionable strategies for aligning your work with your deepest “why,” leaning into your most natural gifts, nourishing yourself in the long-term pursuit of your goals, setting a sustainable pace, and allowing contentment to guide the way. It turns out, ambition isn’t a dirty word but an invitation to design your life with even greater purpose, meaning, and joy. Spots are limited—RSVP now to claim your place! We can't wait to celebrate with you. with joy and gratitude, Amina and team Information Source: Amina AlTai | eventbrite

NOTE: This is a conversation and Q&A only with no signing to follow. Admission to the event includes a PRE-SIGNED copy of Atmosphere from Taylor! From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo and Daisy Jones & The Six comes an epic new novel set against the backdrop of the 1980s space shuttle program about the extraordinary lengths we go to live and love beyond our limits. Joan Goodwin has been obsessed with the stars for as long as she can remember. Thoughtful and reserved, Joan is content with her life as a professor of physics and astronomy at Rice University and as aunt to her precocious niece, Frances. That is, until she comes across an advertisement seeking the first women scientists to join NASA’s space shuttle program. Suddenly, Joan burns to be one of the few people to go to space. Selected from a pool of thousands of applicants in the summer of 1980, Joan begins training at Houston’s Johnson Space Center, alongside an exceptional group of fellow candidates: Top Gun pilot Hank Redmond and scientist John Griffin, who are kind and easygoing even when the stakes are highest; mission specialist Lydia Danes, who has worked too hard to play nice; warmhearted Donna Fitzgerald, who is navigating her own secrets; and Vanessa Ford, the magnetic and mysterious aeronautical engineer, who can fix any engine and fly any plane. As the new astronauts become unlikely friends and prepare for their first flights, Joan finds a passion and a love she never imagined. In this new light, Joan begins to question everything she thinks she knows about her place in the observable universe. Then, in December of 1984, on mission STS-LR9, it all changes in an instant. Fast-paced, thrilling, and emotional, Atmosphere is Taylor Jenkins Reid at her best: transporting readers to iconic times and places, creating complex protagonists, and telling a passionate and soaring story about the transformative power of love—this time among the stars.

Event Overview: Step into an evening of inspiration, reflection, and celebration as we gather to honor the young men of the GRAD Foundation Mentoring Program. This is not just a banquet; it is a tribute to the legacy being shaped today by the actions, choices, and growth of each of our mentees. Theme: This year, we embrace the theme “Legacy in the Making”—a reminder that true legacy isn’t simply something built with time or age, but is formed in the choices we make in every moment. For our young men, their legacy begins today. It’s not a distant vision or something that happens when we’re older or after we’re gone. Every step they take, every achievement they reach, is an integral part of their ongoing journey. We celebrate the impact they are making right now, and the profound potential that already lives within them. Program: The evening will feature a three-course plated dinner with unlimited beverages, a year-in-review recap, and a special guest speaker. We'll also honor our graduating seniors with a special presentation as we send them off to college, acknowledging their hard work and the bright future ahead of them. And, of course, we will celebrate the achievements of all our mentees with awards recognizing the dedication and progress they have made this year. Ticket Price: $80 per person Includes a three-course plated meal and unlimited beverages. We invite you to bring your family and loved ones to join in this moment of celebration. Together, we’ll honor the present achievements and the future legacies being built right now. Additionally, your ticket purchase is not just a seat at the table, but a contribution to the continued development of these young men. Every dollar supports our activities, mentorship programs, and scholarships, helping us to guide them on their journeys, empowering them to realize their potential, and ensuring their legacy is built through every moment of growth. Parking: Free self-parking available at the venue. Thank you for supporting the foundation of tomorrow’s leaders—because their legacy is already in the making. Your participation helps fuel the journey, and for that, we are deeply grateful. Information Source: Guide Right Achievement Development Foundation | eventbrite

HEALTH & SAFETY: WE ASK THAT YOU PLEASE WEAR A FACE MASK WHILE INDOORS FOR OUR EVENTS. THANK YOU. There’s a lot of talk about oligarchs these days. Their influence, their outsize impact on our own lives have become apparent especially in the last decade. The ultrarich live in a parallel universe, but their reach touches us seemingly now more than ever. While the wealthy were always powerbrokers, the ultrarich seem to have moved right into the seats of government. In his new book, The Haves and Have-Yachts , Evan Osnos, staff writer at The New Yorker , captures the almost unbelievable lifestyle of the wealthiest titans. Their self indulgences are a curiosity to be sure— as we gawk at their outrageous and lavish displays of excess, we laugh in disbelief, and wonder at the disparity between the haves and the have-nots: the power the haves have, and the fallout to come. This is more than a peek into the lives of the ultrarich, into their luxury bunkers, their homes, their superyachts and to their extravagant lifestyles: it’s a portrait of who holds power in America. Osnos interviews these billionaires, whose excesses are often shamelessly ridiculous, and he delivers a cautionary tale about what money can buy. Spoiler alert: a lot. Osnos is the winner of multiple Pulitzer Prizes as well as the National Book Award. In conversation with Ben Rhodes. Ben Rhodes is the former Deputy National Security Advisor for President Obama. He is a New York Times bestselling author, including the great After the Fall: The Rise of Authoritarianism in the World We Made ; an MSNBC contributor, and a co-host of Pod Save the World .
