Level Up
It’s never been easier to start a business–and it’s never been harder to scale it. Half of new businesses in America don’t make it past five years. Stacey Abrams and Lara Hodgson want to help today’s entrepreneurs beat the odds by revealing the unseen tethers that keep small businesses from growing and thriving.
Drawing on firsthand experience starting and scaling multiple companies over nearly two decades, Now® cofounders Abrams and Hodgson crystallize their hard-won advice into a single how-to, got-to guide for small business owners. In Level Up, they share intense behind-the-scenes stories of building their own businesses, as well as actionable, get-it-done principles for founders looking to propel their ventures forward.
Our Time Is Now
This book chronicles a chilling account of how the right to vote and the principle of democracy have been and continue to be under attack and argues for the importance of robust voter protections, an elevation of identity politics, engagement in the census, and a return to moral international leadership. She draws on extensive research from national organizations and renowned scholars, as well as anecdotes from Abrams’ life and others who have fought throughout our country’s history for the power to be heard.
Lead from the Outside

Abrams uses her experience and hard-won insights in politics, business and civic life to break down how ambition, fear, money, and failure function in leadership, while offering personal stories that illuminate practical strategies.
