About this listen
Jennifer Sey was on track to become the first woman CEO of Levi Strauss & Co. As the President of the Levi's brand, she was widely celebrated as a versatile and inspirational leader who had helped save the iconic brand from bankruptcy. Formerly a self-described "left of left of center" progressive, she was beloved as the embodiment of the company's "profits through principles" ethos.
But everything changed when Sey publicly opposed the closure of San Francisco's public schools at the height of the pandemic. In response to her "wrongthink", management gave her a choice: Shut up or leave. She decided that defending at-risk children was more important than the job that she loved, and so she resigned. After more than two decades at the company, she gave up her professional future to retain her voice.
In Levi's Unbuttoned, Sey recounts her remarkable journey from U.S. National Gymnastics champion through her rise up the corporate ladder at Levi's. As the highest profile executive to fall victim to the cancel culture engulfing America, her story is an inspiration for all those who, in these difficult times, feel pressured to remain silent on their most fundamental beliefs.
The more Americans who stand up to "woke-ism," the better chance we have at creating a truly equitable and inclusive society. Principles and integrity matter. Ultimately, they matter more than anything else.

The left is waging an all-out battle on the American family, particularly the youngest members. If they can make our children miserable, lead them to question every building block of society, and rebuild their entire concept of reality, then the left and their woke indoctrinators will consider that a victory. But we can't let them win. As concerned parents and American citizens, we have to understand what's truly going on before we can do something about it. Stolen Youth provides an urgent deep dive into issues surrounding the current woke indoctrination happening.

Ivermectin is a dirty word in the media. The drug has been derided and declared useless. Doctors have earnestly recorded pleas asking those afflicted with COVID-19 not to take the drug. But why? The War on Ivermectin is the personal and professional narrative of Dr. Pierre Kory, the co-founder of an expert group of physicians, and his plight to alert the world of his group's identification of ivermectin as a highly effective, life-saving, widely available generic medicine with an obvious ability to end the global pandemic.

After the Black Lives Matter protests of 2020, prestigious American institutions, from the medical profession to the fine arts, pleaded guilty to “systemic racism”.

In 2012, on his third tour of duty in Afghanistan, an improvised explosive device left Dan Crenshaw's right eye destroyed and his left blinded. Only through the careful hand of his surgeons, and what doctors called a miracle, did Crenshaw's left eye recover partial vision. And yet, he persevered, completing two more deployments. Why? There are certain stories we tell ourselves about the hardships we face—we can become paralyzed by adversity or we can adapt and overcome. We can be fragile or we can find our fortitude. Crenshaw delivers a set of lessons to help you do just that.

When COVID-19 broke out, Dr. Aaron Kheriaty’s work put him on the front lines. Realizing that the mental, physical, and economic toll of lockdowns was catastrophic, he began to protest that the cure was worse than the disease—an intolerable heresy. When he refused vaccination because he had natural immunity from a previous infection, the University of California, Irvine, medical school fired him. He fought back, in the courts and in the media, and has become a reliable source of truth amid official obfuscation and censorship.

How Can This Happen?
This is a fascinating cautionary tale that lays bare the totalitarian instincts of the woke left. A successful executive with a very personal opinion on a child welfare issue is ostracized, demeaned, and then run out of her company, notwithstanding that her view happened to be supported by the data and the science. Why? How have we come to the point where viewpoint diversity in a pluralistic society once dedicated to free speech and expression, can form the basis for such untoward and hostile treatment of a well-informed and honest person? Ms. Sey acquits herself well in this book, making a rational and sober argument against the illiberal mob while not gratuitously denigrating those who treated her so shabbily. We can learn much, not only from her story, but also from her equanimity.

Much Respect Mom/Executive
I have a high regard for this woman. Although I don’t align with all of her viewpoints, I appreciated the unique experience and advice she passes off to other moms and executives. This book was a great example of living out integrity and success while taking risks for what it right and necessary. Highly recommend this listen.

I listened to this audiobook in record time. Jennifer Sey bravely and honestly tells the story of her time at Levis and the massive hypocrisy she witnessed and experienced there. To Jennifer…for all the stress and heartache you endured to take a stand and later write this book, I hope you experience a new life full of happiness that you never knew. You earned it…

Jennifer is an interesting and passionate person. She does a great job narrating the book. It’s like you’re sitting there talking with her. I thought that it was going to be more political but it wasn’t. It was a very enjoyable read I do recommend reading this book as soon as you can since it talks so much about the Covid time.

One of the best memoirs I’ve ever read. This is more than a story about Covid policy. It is a portrait of a hardworking mom who saw injustice, found her voice, and didn’t compromise her principles, despite a high cost.

Thank you Jennifer Sey
As a big consumer of medical literature, I was well aware of the lack of evidence for school closures and most of the tactics of the lockdown. This book skips the medical statistics and tells Jennifer Sey's personal story with emphasis on sociology and herd behavior. Jennifer Sey is the perfect person for this because she was the marketing manager of a "fashion" company. Part of the reason this book is so good is that it is her own personal story. Still, the themes will resonate with everyone, even older, white male liberals like me

You will learn her leadership, devotion to data find yourself wishing she was a coworker, leader, neighbor or friend.
You will admire the integrity with which she fought for her cause—the safety of children. Great read.
