New Book Stop Holding Back Helps Readers Conquer the Inner Stutter and Stop Holding Back
Book by Award-Winning TEDx Speaker and Stand-Up Comedian Joze Piranian Offers a Roadmap for Overcoming Fear at Work and in Life
United States, 29th May 2026 — Joze Piranian, the award-winning TEDx speaker and stand-up comedian, today announced the publication of his new book, Stop Holding Back. Published by HarperCollins, the book offers a candid, practical guide to facing fear head-on and transforming it into a powerful catalyst for personal and professional growth. Its debut coincides with Mental Health Awareness Month and National Stuttering Awareness Week.
Piranian’s story is as unlikely as it is inspiring. Once so hindered by a severe stutter that he feared speaking aloud, he went on to become an award-winning TEDx speaker and stand-up comedian. Drawing on that remarkable journey, Stop Holding Back explores the psychological patterns, e.g., social anxiety, depression, avoidance, and what Piranian calls the “inner stutter,” that keep people from taking action in their careers and lives.
“Fear doesn’t have to disappear before growth can begin,” Piranian said. In the book, he challenges the common belief that confidence must come first, arguing instead that courage is built through action, not before it.
Stop Holding Back blends personal storytelling, behavioral insights, and actionable tools to help readers engage in the conversations, take the risks, and seize the opportunities they have been avoiding. It addresses topics including social anxiety disorder, communication anxiety, public speaking fear, depression, and resilience.
Social anxiety disorder affects millions of people worldwide, and Piranian is available as an expert source for journalists covering these and related topics.

Press Release
Toogood Gold’s Table Mountain Sits in the Shadow of a Nevada Gold Rush
Dallas, USA, September 16th, 2026, FinanceWire
Toogood Gold Corp. announced the definition of two priority exploration corridors at its Table Mountain Gold-Silver Project in Lincoln County, Nevada, and plans to advance the project toward a 3,000-meter maiden drill program. The company’s Phase 1 fieldwork identified the Widowmaker and Pacifico trends as priority targets within the project’s approximately 4-by-2-kilometer alteration footprint. Toogood holds an option to earn a 100% interest in the low-sulphidation epithermal system, which has never been drilled and is located roughly 9 kilometers south of Nevada King’s past-producing Atlanta Gold Mine.
The project was generated by Orogen Royalties through a regional exploration approach that included airborne spectral data — the same method behind identifying the Silicon project and later a 4+ Moz Au discovery by AngloGold Ashanti. Orogen’s senior management has called Table Mountain the best greenfields opportunity the company has generated.
Phase 1 fieldwork defined two priority corridors. The Widowmaker trend is an arcuate structure running more than 5 kilometers through the core of the system, with the Widowmaker vein exposed intermittently over more than 1 kilometer, with a train of epithermal vein float extending for an additional kilometer. About 500 meters east, the subparallel Pacifico trend adds more than 5 kilometers of cumulative mapped fault trace, and also hosts structurally controlled epithermal veins. Lattice-textured quartz is widespread across Table Mountain, in both veins and hydrothermal breccias — this texture is a signature of boiling, the process that drops gold and silver out of solution in systems of this type. The surface dataset includes >6,400 soil samples, 1,688 gravity stations, and 780 line-kilometers of drone magnetics, with analytical results from the current Phase 1 program still pending. Zonge International is running roughly 15 line-kilometers of CSAMT across both corridors this month, and SWCA Environmental Consultants is advancing Notice of Intent permitting for a 3,000-meter maiden drill program planned for late 2026 or early 2027.
The technical bench is deeper than the stage suggests. CEO Colin Smith is a geologist who came through the Discovery Group and SSR Mining; VP Exploration Lee Hess is a structural geologist specializing in Great Basin epithermal systems, also formerly of SSR Mining; and technical advisor Dr. Stuart Simmons, with more than 40 years on epithermal systems, concluded the surface exposures represent the upper levels of a well-preserved system with widespread evidence of boiling.
Investors should keep the stage in view. Table Mountain has no mineral resource and has never been drilled; analytical results from the current Phase 1 program remain pending, and Toogood holds the project under an earn-in option rather than outright ownership. Everything described above is surface work whose purpose is to decide where the first drill goes.
Nevada’s Gold Pipeline: From First Drilling to 100 Million Ounces
Gold is trading in the $4,300-$4,400 range, and investors following it want two things at once: exposure to the metal and a jurisdiction with an established mining industry and relatively predictable rules. That combination keeps pulling capital back to Nevada. The state hosts the largest gold-mining complex on earth, a bench of past-producing mines being brought back to life, and explorers advancing prospects that remain much earlier in development — like Toogood. The names investors talk about sit at different points on that curve, and the market prices each stage differently.
The Two That Set the Terms
Barrick Mining Corporation (NYSE: B) (TSX: ABX) and Newmont Corporation (NYSE: NEM) own Nevada Gold Mines, the joint venture spanning the Carlin, Cortez, Turquoise Ridge and Phoenix districts, at 61.5% and 38.5% respectively. On August 10, the two companies ended years of disputes with an agreement that folds Barrick’s Fourmile discovery and Newmont’s Fiberline and Mike developments into the joint venture, with Newmont paying Barrick $1.95 billion cash for the difference in contributed value. Barrick says the agreement expands the Nevada complex to nearly 100 million ounces. The settlement also cleared Newmont’s consent for Barrick’s planned IPO of its North American gold business, expected to complete by year-end.
Nearly every ounce in that complex started as somebody’s exploration target. Fourmile, the discovery Barrick has called one of the century’s greatest, came out of ground beside a mine that had been operating for decades. The rest of the Nevada pipeline is built on that pattern.
Three Juniors Further Along the Curve
Each of the three below has crossed a threshold Toogood hasn’t: drilling has defined a mineral resource. Their figures aren’t directly comparable — one reports measured-and-indicated oxide ounces, one reports inferred ounces only, and one reports gold-equivalent ounces that fold in silver at elevated metal prices.
Nevada King Gold Corp. (TSXV: NKG) (OTCQB: NKGFF) owns the 130-square-kilometer Atlanta Gold Mine project, a past-producing open pit with a 1.02-million-ounce measured-and-indicated oxide resource, immediately north of Toogood’s ground. It’s at the district-expansion stage: the company doubled its 2026 drill program to 40,000 meters, and by late August a fourth rig was testing new targets around the historical pit, including an undrilled 500-by-300-meter zone.
Scorpio Gold Corp. (NASDAQ: SGLD) (TSX-V: SGLD) consolidated the Manhattan District in Nye County, about 20 kilometers south of Kinross’s (NYSE: KGC) (TSX: K) Round Mountain mine, combining its Goldwedge mine and mill with four past-producing pits acquired from Kinross in 2021. It’s at the maiden-resource stage: an estimate effective June 2025 holds 740,000 inferred ounces at 1.26 g/t gold, and a 32,585-meter Phase Two program has tested well beyond the resource pit shell, with recent results including 3.02 g/t gold over 48.92 meters.
Lahontan Gold Corp. (TSX-V: LG) (OTCQB: LGCXF) is at the restart-permitting stage. Its Santa Fe Mine in Mineral County produced roughly 359,000 ounces of gold and 702,000 ounces of silver by heap leaching between 1988 and 1995. An updated resource effective August 13, 2026 carries 1,195,000 gold-equivalent ounces indicated and 1,190,000 inferred, calculated at $3,200 gold and $40 silver. A revised preliminary economic assessment is targeted for September, permitting is underway, and the company is targeting 2027 for construction.
Nevada King, Scorpio and Lahontan are each several years and tens of thousands of drill meters past the point Toogood is at now, and the two majors are decades past it. Whether Toogood follows a similar path depends first on what the maiden program finds. For now, the company is doing the groundwork next door to one of the most active drill programs in the state, in a jurisdiction where successful exploration has repeatedly attracted much larger pools of capital, which is enough to warrant some attention.
About Toogood Gold Corp.
Toogood Gold Corp. is a Canadian exploration company focused on the discovery and advancement of high-grade gold systems in tier-one mining jurisdictions. The Company has two core areas of focus: the Table Mountain Project in Nevada, where the Company has an option to earn a 100% interest in a large, undrilled low-sulphidation epithermal system with extensive surface alteration and multiple mineralized vein exposures; and the district-scale Toogood Gold Project in Newfoundland, where the Company has an option to earn a 100% interest in a 164 km² land package covering a highly underexplored gold district with multiple target areas and demonstrated gold prospectivity.

Press Release
Former PlayStation CTO Masayuki Chatani Publishes New AI Leadership Book
Former Sony, Rakuten, KPMG, and McKinsey executive Masayuki Chatani explores how AI is reshaping leadership in his new book.
Tokyo, Japan, 16th Sep 2026 – Masayuki Chatani was involved in the development of successive PlayStation platforms at Sony Computer Entertainment (now Sony Interactive Entertainment), before holding senior leadership positions at companies including Rakuten, KPMG, and McKinsey.

Today, Chatani practices what he calls the “Solo CEO with AI” model, an approach in which a single entrepreneur leverages multiple AI systems as a virtual team. Grounded in more than 30 years of experience at the forefront of Japan’s technology industry, his new book examines how the rise of AI is transforming leadership and presents a vision for the future of technology leaders.
Following “Behind the Scenes at PlayStation: Former CTO Talks about 16 Years of Creation” and “A Compass for Leaders who Create the Future” (Trilogy – Survival Strategy, Practical Implementation, Future Outlook), this book serves as a guide for current and future leaders navigating a rapidly changing technological landscape.
Key Points of the Book
Cover of the New Book
1. AI may first transform the role of the “leader,” not the frontline worker
Before practical tasks such as writing code or preparing documents, the core responsibilities of leaders—including gathering information, evaluating options, making decisions, and developing strategies—are increasingly becoming areas where AI demonstrates strong capabilities.
Having observed the evolution of technology for more than 30 years, Chatani directly addresses this uncomfortable paradox: the very skills traditionally associated with leadership may be among the areas most affected by AI.
2. The author is not a commentator, but a practitioner
After leaving his position as head of Build by McKinsey Japan, Chatani has been putting the “Solo CEO with AI” model into practice, using multiple AI systems as part of his daily operations.
This book is not only an analysis of AI and leadership but also a record of practical knowledge gained through his own experience as an AI solopreneur.
3. From managing people to orchestrating AI: A new measure of leadership
Drawing on leadership experience ranging from the launch of PlayStation to management roles at global professional services firms, the book explores how leadership may shift from managing large organizations to effectively orchestrating AI systems.
It offers a new perspective for technology leaders navigating the changing relationship between humans and artificial intelligence.
4. Answering the question: “What remains?”
Through the concept of “Science, Technology, and Business: Integrated Thinking,” the book reframes AI not as a threat, but as a “creative partner.”
It presents a new vision of leadership beyond traditional definitions of technology leadership, while exploring what responsibilities and values will remain in an era where AI increasingly participates in analysis, decision-making, and creation.
Background: Why Reconsider “Tech Leaders” Now?
With the rise of generative AI, discussions about “AI taking people’s jobs” have traditionally focused on frontline professionals. However, many core responsibilities of leaders—including collecting information, comparing options, and making decisions—are increasingly becoming areas where generative AI can provide significant support.
The era when leading a large organization was considered the defining characteristic of leadership is giving way to an era of the “Solo CEO with AI,” or AI solopreneur, where an individual entrepreneur can leverage multiple AI systems as a virtual team.
The starting point of this book is the question of what aspects of leadership may disappear, and what essential qualities will remain.
This perspective is developed around the concept of “Science, Technology, and Business: Integrated Thinking.” Regarding the “Solo CEO with AI” (AI solopreneur) concept, Chatani discussed its emergence in a 2021 Forbes JAPAN web column. Drawing on his own experience as an AI solopreneur, he explores its background, practical implementation, and future possibilities.
The concept points toward a new working model in which a solo entrepreneur collaborates with multiple AI systems as a virtual team.
