What does a stand-up comedian who once opened for Robin Williams have in common with a biohacking coach helping clients recover from chronic pain?

More than you'd think.

Jeff Zaret has spent over three decades on stage, in boardrooms, and in the cockpit of his own plane, learning one lesson over and over: people don't remember the pitch, they remember how you made them feel. In this candid, funny, and surprisingly moving Pocket Authority Book, Jeff shares the real story behind the résumé — the accidental first stand-up set that launched a career, the family who shaped who he became, the loss that changed how he sees every milestone since, and the philosophy that's carried him from touring comedy clubs to building two thriving businesses.

Inside, you'll discover:

—How a heckler-fueled dare turned into a 35-year comedy career spanning The Comedy Store, The Improv, Caroline's, and corporate stages for Disney, Aflac, and Budweiser

—The real reason "straight commission" built more resilience — and more success — than any guaranteed salary ever could

—Why Jeff believes biohacking and stand-up comedy are the same work in different clothes: both are about changing how someone feels before they walk out the door

—The unexpected lessons an Eagle Scout badge, a father-son campout tradition, and a flight over Sedona taught him about character, pride, and connection

—How Jeff built Biohacking Blue Zone around one simple idea — treat the person, not just the symptom

This isn't a business book. It's not a comedy memoir either. It's something more useful than both: a real, human introduction to a guy who's spent his whole life trying to help people feel a little better than they did five minutes ago — whether that's through a punchline, a flight, or a personalized recovery plan.

Read it in one sitting. Then reach out. Jeff would genuinely love to hear from you.

FOREWORD

I've watched a lot of people want to write a book. Wanting one and actually finishing one are two very different things, and in over thirty years of doing this, I've learned to spot the difference fast.

I met Kevin the way I've met a lot of people over the years — I asked him for a chapter. Just one. Ten, fifteen pages, alongside some names he clearly admired more than he expected to ever stand next to. Most people in that position write something careful. Kevin didn't. I don't remember every chapter from that book, but I remember his.

Then I lost track of him for a while. That happens. People come through a project, and life pulls them somewhere else. What doesn't usually happen is what happened next: years later, I started seeing his name again. A book. Then another. Then another, not long after that. I want to be honest about what that actually means to someone who's spent a career watching people start things they don't finish — it's rare. Genuinely rare. Most people get the one chapter and never write the next thing on their own. Kevin kept going, on his own, with nobody asking him to.

That's when I reached out. Not to congratulate him, though I did that too. I reached out because I needed him. I'd built Wake Up around the stage, the story, the relationships — the part I've always been good at. What I hadn't built, and honestly didn't know how to build myself, was the structure underneath it. Kevin had spent thirty years running operations in rooms a lot less forgiving than publishing. He knew exactly how to build the machine I'd never gotten around to building.

We call it Yin and Yang between us, half joking, and it's the truest thing either of us has ever said about how this actually works. I'm the front of the room. Kevin is everything that has to be true for the front of the room to mean anything at all.

This book is his story, and I'd trust him to tell it better than I ever could. But I'll tell you what I know from the other side of it: the man who wrote this book is the same one who wrote that first chapter, all those years ago. He just finally stopped waiting for permission to say so.

Read it. Then go write your own.

Just Released: HOME, ON HER OWN TERMS
A Life of Courage, Service, and Refusing to Wait for Permission

Before she was one of Coronado's most decorated real estate brokers, Gerri-Lynn Fives was a young Army officer standing on a hospital carpet in labor, ordered into uniform for her own graduation because showing up wasn't optional.

Before the seven-figure listings and the twenty-six-year career, there was a single mother turned away by landlord after landlord at Fort Huachuca — until she stopped waiting for anyone's permission and bought her own home with her VA loan instead.

Home, On Her Own Terms is the story behind the résumé: the military service, the institutions that failed her, and the discipline that turned every setback into the next credential, the next committee seat, the next reason a client could trust her with the biggest decision of their life.

This isn't a real estate guide. It's the story of a woman who kept getting up — on the water, in uniform, and at the negotiating table — long before anyone handed her a reason to.

For clients, colleagues, and anyone who's ever been told no by the system they served: this is what happens next.

Gerri-Lynn Fives is an associate broker with Pacific Sotheby's International Realty in Coronado, California, a two-time REALTOR of the Year, and a former commissioned officer in both the U.S. Army and U.S. Navy. Most mornings before her first showing, she's still out on Mission Bay, rope in hand. FREE on Amazon today only LINK: https://a.co/d/00SAkqyA

JUST RELEASED: Your Turn to Glow: A Master Esthetician's Guide to Caring for Your Skin—and the Person Beneath It

by Carrie Seney, Licensed Master Esthetician

What if your skin has been trying to tell you something all along?

In this warm, honest, and deeply practical guide, Master Esthetician Carrie Seney shares what over a decade in the treatment room has taught her: that skin isn't just something we look at — it's something that remembers. It holds our stress, our joy, our history, and the stories we don't always say out loud.

Your Turn to Glow is part memoir, part expert skincare guide. Carrie takes you into her treatment room to explain not just what she does, but why — from the real science behind product order and ingredient safety, to the emotional truth behind why a facial can feel like so much more than skin-deep. Along the way, she shares the client stories that shaped her — a woman turned away elsewhere until she found a place that finally said yes, a classroom moment that redirected her entire career, a skeptical husband who left her table a believer.

Inside, you'll learn:

The correct order to apply skincare products — and the simple kitchen-counter trick that shows you why it matters
How to spot (and avoid) trendy skincare advice that isn't right for your skin
A complete, professional-grade routine you can simplify and follow at home
Why "holistic" skincare doesn't mean skipping science — and how Carrie blends both
How to build a real relationship with a skincare professional who actually sees you
Whether you're a longtime client, brand new to skincare, or simply someone who's ever felt uneasy in your own skin, this book is an invitation — not a sales pitch — to find someone who treats your skin, and the person underneath it, with the care both deserve.

Part of the Wake Up Pocket Authority Series™.

James Reece returns in STATE OF EXILE.

My great-great-grandfather Frank Lucas started Lucas Publishing Company in 1899 that became the Buffalo Voice and later the Buffalo Bulletin.

His father, Albert Lucas began publishing during the aftermath of the Civil War, later through the settling of the Wyoming plains, through every decade that followed. Long before I was born, publishing was already the Lucas family's work.

I grew up knowing that story. And then I spent 25 years becoming a C-level executive in Mortgage Banking and Biotech — building balance sheets and board decks and doing work that mattered, but never quite shaking the pull toward what the family had built.

A few years ago, I came back to my roots and began writing books.

I'm Kevin Seney — CEO of Wake Up Publishing Inc. and Founder of Lucas Media Company, the production backbone behind our books. I've published 40+ books of my own on Amazon, and I lead the team that helps executives, founders, doctors, attorneys, and coaches do what I did: finally tell the story they've been sitting on.

Wake Up Publishing was founded in 1992 by Steven E. Schmitt — 32 years in publishing, 35 books, two million copies sold, and collaborations with Wayne Dyer, Deepak Chopra, Tony Robbins, Jack Canfield, and Mark Victor Hansen. Steven is the legend and the vision. I run the operation. Together with our Strategic Advisor Ira Hayes — F-15 pilot, DOJO Air founder, endurance athlete — we build books that represent professionals at the highest level.

Our thesis is simple: remarkable professionals lose business they never know they lost because the market can't perceive their authority fast enough. A published book is the fastest, most durable fix.

The authors we've published include a BrainTap neuroscientist, an Air Force fighter pilot turned entrepreneur, a Pacific Sotheby's luxury real estate broker, and a biohacking entrepreneur and stand-up comedian. Real people. Real books. Real results.

If you're a professional who has been meaning to write your book for years, or if you just want to understand what a published book could actually do for your business, come find us at wakeuplive.com.

That's who I am. That's why I'm here.
