    NEW BOOK! The Last Seder of James: A Journey Through Passover

    Dr. Lon Wiksell founded Our Father Abraham in 2016 to promote awareness of the Jewishness of Jesus and Christianity, as well as to educate churchgoers about Jewish festivals like Passover. This just so happens to be the topic of their first published work, a fiction/nonfiction hybrid entitled The Last Seder of James: A Journey Through Passover, published by Morgan James out of New York, and hitting bookstores everywhere August 5, 2025.


    The Last Seder of James combines historical fiction and expert biblical teaching to shine a light on the centrality of Passover to the Christian faith. In the Story, John the Apostle visits James the brother of Jesus in prison, the night before his execution. Together, they celebrate Passover with a Seder, or ceremonial Passover meal. The Teaching that follows provides commentary on the Story, and goes on to explore the densely symbolic 15 steps of the Passover Seder. Ultimately, Passover reveals God’s eternal covenant promises, and their fulfillment in Jesus from the Nativity, to the Last Supper, to the Cross.

    Dan Leiva

    Founder | Strategic Advisor |Best-Selling Author

    Every week, another company announces they are replacing people with AI. Six months later, customers stop trusting the experience, employees stop exercising judgment, and nobody can explain who is responsible for what the system is doing.

    Dan Leiva has spent 25 years inside that problem at Apple, Intuit, eBay, and Travelers. His new book #1 Best-Seller on Amazon in two categories, AMPLIFIED, is not about whether to use AI. It is about what most organizations skip: the governance, accountability, and decision design that determine whether AI makes you stronger or more fragile.

    He is a calm, direct interview. No hype. Just the operating reality and what to do about it.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

  • Book 101 Review, in its sixth season, features Rohit Bassi as my guest — a visionary thinker and the originator of PQ: The Third Quotient, a transformative framework that explores human potential beyond traditional measures of intelligence and emotion. In this compelling conversation, we discuss leadership, self-awareness, purpose, innovation, and the deeper dimensions of personal and professional growth in an evolving world.

    Rohit Bassi

    Originator of PQ — The Third Quotient. #1 International Bestselling Author. Offering a distinctive perspective from being a Founder, Operator, Investor, and Advisor who has lived in 7 countries.

    I grew up as a military kid in India. My father served in the Indian Air Force for 21 years. We moved every two to three years. New schools, new friends, new everything — then start again. I didn't have a single friend from childhood by the time I was an adult. But I gained something more valuable. I learned to adapt, read rooms, and build trust quickly. I just didn't know those were skills yet.

    At 17, my family moved to New Zealand. We experienced racism and bullying the moment we arrived. Not just me — the whole family. It was the first time in my life I felt like an outsider in a way I couldn't understand. What got us through was simple: work hard, pay your dues, do the right thing, stick to your values.

    I was always a nerd. Back then that wasn't cool. I finished engineering near the top of my class, went back to teach it at 22 — only a year out of university — and realized quickly that theory without practice has limits. I had a professor in a research meeting who asked how the work was going. I told him honestly: nothing you taught me is actually useful. He laughed and offered me a teaching role on the spot.

    I had a boss who offered me an engineering promotion to Singapore. I told him I wanted to be sitting in his chair at half his age. He laughed but my comment made him want me to stay even more. I left and applied to six business schools having never been to America. Got into five. Chose Wharton. Showed up in Philadelphia having never set foot in the country let alone on campus. Fell in love with the city.

    Christopher Mckeithen

    Founder and Combat Veteran Teaching Companies to See Their Own Blind Spots.

    Spent 7 years serving in the U.S. Army, including a combat deployment to Iraq. When I came home, I brought with me the same discipline, mission focus, and zero-tolerance for blind spots that kept people alive downrange and after years of figuring things out and reintegrating back to civilian life I chose to apply it to cybersecurity. What I found when I entered the security world surprised me. Most small and mid-sized businesses are completely exposed and have no idea. Not because they don't care but because nobody has ever shown them what their external attack surface actually looks like. They think they have a vulnerability problem. They actually have a visibility problem. They have come accustomed to being reactive instead of proactive. That gap is why I built Aegis Cyber Defense. I founded the company in 2026 as a Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business, and I built the platform from scratch while attending cybersecurity school full time and raising a newborn at home. Aegis gives IT Directors and Security Managers at companies with no dedicated security team the same exposure intelligence that enterprise organizations pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for. I'm not a vendor. I'm a practitioner and a founder who has lived the mission. I talk about security the way real IT professionals think about it without the jargon, without the fear mongering, and without pretending this stuff is harder than it needs to be. What I bring to your audience: a combat veteran's perspective on risk and resilience, a founder's honest account of building a cybersecurity company from zero, and a contrarian take on why most security advice misses the real problem entirely.
