Corey Tabor Announces New Book, History in the Making: 7 Keys to Making History in Your Lifetime
Nationally recognized preacher, speaker, and author Corey Tabor is back with his new book, History in the Making: 7 Keys to Making History in Your Lifetime , releasing on June 22. More than a motivational read, the book is a proven tool built on Tabor's signature methodologies that are actionable frameworks designed to empower readers to take control of their futures and create meaningful impact in their lives and communities. Tabor began his journey as a college minister, mentored over 30 years ago, and developed the 2Ds and the 5Es model through hands-on experience, helping individuals unlock their purpose and shift from potential to purpose-driven action. The 2Ds, Decision and Discipline, form the foundation. "Nothing changes until you decide," says Tabor. "And nothing lasts without discipline." These two forces are essential for movement and momentum. Once a decision is made and discipline is applied, the 5Es come into play: Excellence, Effort, Expectation, Education, and Experience. These are all deeply human elements that can turn ordinary lives into extraordinary legacies. Each principle is a call to action. This release is another tool just like Tabor's previous books, Being: A 30-Day Guide to Being Who God Created You to Be and Prioritize for Your Purpose: Ordering Your Life to Be Extraordinary . He uses these principles in real-time when addressing students, faith communities, and Fortune 500 companies, and now he's put them in the hands of readers for ongoing reference and application. In History in the Making , Tabor distills decades of life lessons, speaking engagements, and mentoring sessions into seven transformational keys for anyone ready to take action. What makes this book unique isn't just its content but its origin: the people. After years of standing ovations and life-changing moments at corporate events, universities, schools, and churches, Tabor was repeatedly asked for something tangible, something people could take home, revisit, and continue learning from. History in the Making is his response to that call. "This book wasn't just written by me; it was pulled from me by the people," Tabor explains. "After speaking engagements, so many would come up and ask, 'Where can I get this in writing?' They didn't want a one-time emotional experience, but a guide they could return to." Designed for dreamers, doers, and anyone at the crossroads of purpose and fear, History in the Making will especially resonate with people from many walks of life: young adults searching for direction, entrepreneurs hesitant to take the next big step, and even leaders trying to make a meaningful impact. Whether from the stage or the page, Tabor's message remains clear: "Graveyards are full of people who died, not making decisions. There are so many dead dreams in the graveyard because people thought they had more time, because they thought they had to get more education, or because they had to get more experience. But doing something teaches you something. Failing forward is better than not trying."

Henri Matisse and Zarigana claim French Classics
Henri Matisse got the better of a thrilling tussle with Jonquil to claim Classic glory in the Emirates Poule d'Essai des Poulains at Longchamp. A strong raiding party crossed the Channel for the French Classic, with Aidan O'Brien's Breeders' Cup hero Henri Matisse at the head of the market following his successful reappearance at Leopardstown at the end of March. Held up off a strong gallop early on by Ryan Moore, the Wootton Bassett colt made his move from the home turn and quickly ate up the ground to grab the lead inside the final two furlongs. Andrew Balding's Greenham Stakes winner Jonquil, who had been ridden more prominently by Oisin Murphy, managed to keep himself in the fight and briefly looked set to come out on top as the post loomed, but Henri Matisse triumphed by a head on the line. The winner returned an industry price of 9-4F and 12-5F on the PMU. ⭕ #ParisLongchamp – Emirates Poule d'Essai des Poulains (Gr I) Henri Matisse (M3 Wootton Bassett) remporte le premier Classique français. Le pensionnaire d'A.P. O'Brien brille pour l'association Magnier, Tabor, Smith et Merriebell. 🥈Jonquil 🥉Camille Pissarro #Emirates #UAE — France Galop (@francegalop) May 11, 2025 O'Brien told Sky Sports Racing: "We were delighted. He's a horse that doesn't like to be in front too long and obviously it was a nice, even pace and we were hoping it was going to be like that because he was going to be ridden back. "When the pace is strong and even, usually if you have the best horse you have a chance. There was going to be no traffic for everybody, but when you're riding back you're never sure you're going to get there. I'm never confident, I'm always hopeful, but Ryan gave him a brilliant ride." O'Brien, claiming his sixth winner of the race and first since St Mark's Basilica struck gold in 2021, also saddled the third home Camille Pissarro, with the Charlie Fellowes-trained Luther not far behind in fourth. Charlie Fellowes described his "heartbreak" after Shes Perfect was demoted from first place in the Emirates Poule d'Essai des Pouliches. The daughter of Sioux Nation earned herself a tilt at Classic glory finishing a close second to the reopposing Zarigana in the Prix de la Grotte over the course and distance last month. Zarigana was a hot favourite to confirm her superiority, but just as she had done four weeks ago, Shes Perfect found herself in front from an early stage in the hands of Kieran Shoemark and she had plenty of her rivals on the stretch rounding the home turn. For a few strides the daughter of Sioux Nation looked like a sitting duck in the straight, but to her credit she kept responding to Shoemark's urging and while Zarigana came at her fast and late, Shes Perfect passed the post a nose in front. That sparked scenes of wild celebration, but the joy proved short lived as Zarigana's rider Mickael Barzalona lodged an objection after the race and following an inquiry, the result was amended. Zarigana returned an industry price of 11-10F and 4-5F on the PMU. ⭕ #ParisLongchamp – Emirates Poule d'Essai des Pouliches (Gr I) Suspense incroyable ! Shes Perfect franchit le poteau en tête mais, après enquête, est rétrogradée pour avoir gêné Zarigana (F3 Siyouni), qui s'impose pour les Aga Khan Studs. Mandanaba complète le podium #Emirates — France Galop (@francegalop) May 11, 2025 Fellowes said: "Obviously at the moment it's heartbreak more than anything. "I thought I'd won my first Group One and I don't really know what to think at the moment. I've seen the replay and in England I don't think the result would be changed, but we know the French rules are stricter than ours. "There definitely was a bump, but did it affect the result? I don't believe so, but the stewards felt that it did." On whether connections will consider a potential appeal, Fellowes added: "I don't know the rules, I need to get some advice from people that are better placed in France than I am and we'll go from there. "If we think there's any point in appealing then we'll have to consider it, but it's not my area of expertise." France Galop's Samuel Fargeat explained the stewards had assessed two incidents, the first involving Shes Perfect, fourth-placed Exactly and Zarigana, who all appeared to get close, before the last two fillies also came together towards the line. The stewards decided the first incident had impacted the result but the second had not, and Zarigana's trainer Francis-Henri Graffard felt his filly had been "unbalanced at the wrong time". He told Sky Sports Racing: "Obviously it was a tough few minutes and we don't like to win like this and I feel sorry for the connections of Shes Perfect because they had the joy, but this is sport and this is racing and it has happened to me in the past. "To be fair, my filly, when she came, she got really unbalanced at the wrong time and in the end it was only a nose. "It was a decision in the stewards' room, but I'm very happy for this filly especially. There was a lot of expectation and she deserves a win like that. It would have been very frustrating to be second and beaten a nose and for the team at home it's really good. "It's quite hard to really enjoy it, it's more like relief than proper joy." Zarigana could now make an appearance at Royal Ascot, with her trainer adding: "We'll have to discuss it, I'm not sure she needs to be stepped up in trip, so if we decide to stick to a mile we'll go to Ascot for the Coronation Stakes with her."

‘Militantropos' Acquired by Square Eyes Ahead of Premiere in Cannes' Directors' Fortnight (EXCLUSIVE)
Sales agent Square Eyes has acquired worldwide rights to the Ukrainian feature documentary 'Militantropos,' directed by Alina Gorlova ('This Rain Will Never Stop'), Yelizaveta Smith ('School Number 3') and Simon Mozgovyi ('The Winter Garden's Tale'), ahead of its world premiere in Cannes' Directors' Fortnight program. Wouter Jansen of Square Eyes said 'Militantropos' is 'a powerful and touching cinematic meditation on the impact of war on everyday life.' More from Variety Cannes Directors' Fortnight Unveils 2025 Lineup, Including Christian Petzold's 'Miroirs No. 3,' Eva Victor's 'Sorry, Baby,' Robin Campillo's 'Enzo' Cannes Section ACID Announces Selection, From a 'Feel-Good Movie About Depression' to a New Drama With Paris Olympics 'Blue Man' Sundance Festival Favorite Doc 'Come See Me in the Good Light' Lands at Apple TV+ The script is written by Smith, Gorlova, Mozgovyi and Maksym Nakonechnyi, who directed and co-wrote 'Butterfly Vision,' selected for Cannes' Un Certain Regard in 2022. 'Militantropos' refers to the Latin word for soldier ('milit') and the Greek word for human ('antropos'), meaning a persona adopted by humans when entering a state of war. 'This relentless experience shapes the ongoing transformation of individuals and society as a whole, therefore Militantropos chooses to accept war as the one and only option to exist,' according to a statement. 'Militantropos' explores 'human experience in war—those who flee, who lose their homes, those who stay to take up arms and learn to fight. Through the absence of a main protagonist, the film balances individual and collective experiences, emphasizing their relationships and the transformation of their everyday lives,' the statement added. 'It follows people's reaction to hostilities, atrocities and destruction, the transformation of their everyday lives, public interaction and spaces they live in.' The film is produced by Eugene Rachkovsky for Ukrainian film collective Tabor, also behind 'Butterfly Vision,' in co-production with Ralph Wieser for Austria's Mischief Films and Nabil Bellahsene for France's Les Valseurs. Rachkovsky stated: 'Our collective started filming as a reflex on the first day of the full-scale invasion. After 11 years of working as a collective and experiencing the war side by side, it felt natural to make a collective document of time and explore war as a phenomenon.' Wieser added: 'We were intrigued by [Tabor's] approach from our first virtual meeting. Creative filmmakers offering an extraordinary perspective on Ukraine at war.' Bellahsene said: 'War is not just a geopolitical event, it's a human experience, brutal and intimate. That's why the work of Tabor, a Ukrainian collective of filmmakers, immediately felt essential to us. Their gaze, deeply anchored in lived experience and artistic integrity, offers a powerful and necessary narrative of this moment in history.' 'Militantropos' received support from the Austrian Film Institute, Vienna Film Fund, ÖFI+, Creative Europa Media, Austrian Federal Ministry for Arts, Culture, the Civil Service and Sport, Special Aid for Ukrainian Artists, the Région Nouvelle-Aquitaine in partnership with the CNC, SWR and Arte. Initial support was provided by the Sundance Institute Documentary Film Program with support from Open Society Foundations, the European Solidarity Fund for Ukrainian Films, IDFA Bertha Fund, Ukrainian Film Academy's Post-Production Grant Program in partnership with Netflix, the Ukrainian Institute and Eurimages, Visions Sud Est, Goeteborg Film Fund, IMW: Documenting Ukraine, and Deutsche Filmakademie (Filmboost Germany). The project was developed and presented at Berlinale Talents, Visions du Réel and IDFA.

Kitson Sells $2 Billion New Build And Brokerage Yachts In 4 Years
They're young. They're driven. And they're focused. Kitson Yachts was founded in 2021, just four years ago, but they're already ranked second among U.S. yacht brokerage firms in number of yachts over 164 feet sold between 2022 and 2024. They've sold half of all preowned Feadships that have come to market, 2015 or newer, since 2021. Kitson's sales made up 8 percent of the total number of yachts over 230 feet sold to U.S. clients between 2022 and 2024. There's more. Two of the three co-founders, Michael Tabor and Brandon Kummer, made five sales totaling over 240 feet in less than two years. Brandon was the first broker younger than 32 to sell three Feadships. Feadship Royal Dutch Shipyards is one of the leading superyacht shipbuilders. Kitson's average yacht charter transaction size is $1.3 million, with an average charter boat length of 228 feet. Their average sale transaction features yachts over 164 feet. In late February, Kitson announced the successful sale of the under-construction, 240-foot Admiral Yacht Project Il Primo, acting as the seller's representative. Adding to the strong resume for this young firm, Kitson recently signed a partnership with TISG, The Italian Sea Group, as the authorized sales agency for North, South, and Central America. TISG is the parent company for Admiral, Tecnomar, Perini Navi, Picchiotti, NCA Refit, and Celi yacht brands. TISG delivered more than $440 million in revenues for 2024 and has more than 700 employees working on seven European production sites. Kitson commented, 'Kitson Yachts is thrilled to partner with the largest shipbuilder in Italy, The Italian Sea Group. We look forward to elevating the presence of TISG craftsmanship across the vast geography of the Americas,' aligned with Giovanni Costantino's accord, "I am sure that Kitson Yachts will be the perfect ambassador for TISG in a free market.' Kitson also recently unveiled ultra-posh new digs in Miami's Sunset Harbour neighborhood, making it an inviting space for clients to embrace the yachting pursuits of their family business. Needless to say, with a growing list of billionaires in North America and the fact that Americans make up about 45 percent of the superyacht industry, they are busy. Tabor comes from an investment banking and shipbuilding background. Kummer, Tabor says, is a yacht broker through and through. Their business model approaches these large transactions in an institutional, business-like way, working hard to understand what makes each client tick. Approaching clients in a concierge, family office philosophy, they earn trust and build confidence as they educate an already very astute client list. Kitson makes the programs work for their clients, rather than making the programs work for the industry. Tabor refers to it as unwriting the rules. Kummer adds that the industry status quo for new yacht brokers expects them to take progressive steps leading up to the sales of bigger, more prestigious yachts. Kitson ignored the learning curve and went right to the top, calling Feadship with a client early on, saying, 'Let's do this!' That one sale turned into three, and their trajectory has gone nowhere but up. These guys get it. A sale is not always about price. The superyacht industry is pushing its own limits in terms of amenities, technology, and absolute luxury, and those shiny new details are often attractive to buyers. Kitson helps clients sort through the details to build the yacht they want, which is often quite different from the yacht clients thought they wanted earlier in the buying process. Tabor and Kummer spend many all-nighters analyzing and comparing vessels, ideas, designers, and shipyards. They often end up building something very different from what was discussed in early conversations. Tabor adds that their job is to help clients through the process safely, with consistency, while having fun throughout the process. The easiest part of it all is to buy the boat. The work that goes into taking a client from 'I want a yacht,' through the entire process, to delivery and beyond. Tabor explains that their approach gets them thinking three to five years out, having those hard discussions with the client and solving problems through discussions that shape the brief. Some of the realities explored in those discussions are awkward. Elephants in the room, if you will. Kummer adds, 'Addressing that head-on is where you create the bond with the client.' He also noted that's what they love about the yachting business. One minute they are challenged by new construction, acting as technical surveyors, and the next minute they may be fulfilling the role of a therapist, working to understand the nuances of client behavior. If they have a 5-minute elevator pitch, they delivered it to Feadship. The conversation went something like, 'Let's not overcomplicate this. Let's go build you a yacht. We'll put the right team in place. We'll have your best interests at heart, but we're going to make it really fun, pain-free, and not stressful.' Working with Admiral Yachts, Kitson announced the 288-foot Project Spyder, scheduled for delivery in 2027. Working closely with the owner, Kitson developed a brief, then began their process, selecting TISG for its 3D technology and integrated digital platforms, Espen Øino for his exceptional, sleek exteriors, and FM Architettura for their chic interior design perspective. What's different about Spyder? Amid the gracious indoor spaces and expansive outdoor lures, Spyder welcomes 18 guests in nine staterooms. The owner's bridge deck suite features a circular private deck with great views. An upper deck and a forward-facing observation lounge, a 10 by 30-foot pool overlooking a 1,000 square foot expandable beach club, and an exterior silhouette, all designed around the owner's desire to bring several generations of family together for memorable journeys. In the end, Tabor concludes, 'It's all about taking really, really good care of our clients.' Kummer adds, 'Your reputation is everything.' All of the pieces of creating a custom superyacht come together on the day that puts owners on board for their first voyage on the superyacht of their dreams. Kummer admits that some owners are so overcome by emotion that it prompts a teardrop or two as they realize the sheer number of workers it has taken to build this precious new addition to their family. Kummer notes, 'It's the best reward ever because you're sharing that moment with some of the more powerful people in the entire world … it's just raw emotion. It's pretty special.'
