It's Time to Give a FECK

Chaz Ebert

Since her husband’s, Roger Ebert’s, death on April 4, 2013, it has been Chaz Ebert’s fervent desire for things such as forgiveness, empathy, compassion, and kindness—the FECK Principles—to spread in such a viral way that they become a natural part of our lives. A next step to the work Chaz and Roger began together, It’s Time to Give a FECK is a call for the elevation of unity among humanity and a movement to transform empathy into action by choosing to become a part of the conversation surrounding the philosophical principles that matter for the betterment of our local and global societies.

Good can come from the most frightening of circumstances and positive strides in human behavior can be made from even the most horrifying experiences. And transformations made within these times have the potential to be equally, if not even more, powerful if sustained. In It’s Time to Give a FECK, Chaz Ebert takes readers on an awakening journey of how the FECK Principles have prevailed through the most adverse circumstances, uniting strangers in the name of love. If you care about changing the way things are and bringing more love—for life itself, for yourself, and for others—into your life, this book will give you the stories and strategies that move you into action and allow you to “Give a FECK” in any way, big or small, that fills your heart and the hearts of others.

“This book doesn’t just advocate for decency–it exudes it. If we all followed Chaz Ebert’s lead, the world would be a more caring place.”

The Rhythm of Unity

Mike & Dorothy Longo

Regardless of our race, sex, ethnicity, color, religion or philosophical beliefs, music is a universal tie that binds us as human beings. Every note a nod to history, every tune a step on the trajectory toward a more compassionate understanding of each other. The world of jazz music during the 1950s and 60s was an industry the struggles of the Civil Rights Era, and when a White musician enters the big stages and “sounds Black,” attempting to unify the culture of society, it can teeter on cultural treason.

From spending nearly three decades as a bandmate and friend to Dizzy Gillespie and four decades as collaborator and “brother” to saxophone great, James Moody; to turning down offers from Tony Bennett, Ella Fitzgerald and the Tonight Show band with Johnny Carson; to teaching hundreds of students in the rhythmic principles of music, professional jazz pianist, Mike Longo dedicated his seventy-year music career to having his ears set on the beat and his sights set on shaping greater unity for humankind. The Rhythm of Unity takes you into a world that is no longer “black and white,” but one where the scientific rhythms and spiritual truths of music run deep, driving to counter cultural division.

“…Mike’s incredible vision lives on, offering readers the opportunity to expand their perspective on what music can be and the power it holds in helping us grow together, as one human race.”

Gary Bartz, Two-time Grammy Winning Saxophonist and Jazz Master

The Prosperity Loop

Chris Lautenslager

The old hierarchical, shareholder/CEO-first organizational model is no longer serving our national society. We see it as millions of Americans have given their blood, sweat, and tears to building organizational wealth, only to be left struggling for life’s basic necessities. The collective experience of the coronavirus pandemic has resulting in a louder voice and heightened awareness sensitivity for racism, sexism, capitalism, social justice, political upheaval, and financial hardship; and it’s clear that it is time for us to find a way to get back to supporting each other and our country.

In The Prosperity Loop, forty-year business veteran, Chris Lautenslager presents a formula for building a virtuous, ongoing loop of shared organizational success. This model for levelling the pyramid and creating a more circular evolution of profit drivers and profit distribution addresses the cries for drastic change, while also fulfilling the happiness and prosperity of CEOs and employees in a more balanced way. This work is for the leader who leans toward building a socially-conscious organization, community or society.

“…This one is different. Chris lays out actionable ways to be more accountable to yourself and to your organization. I highly recommend it.”

Shannon Graham

Leadership began as our servant, though as it became institutionalized, it transformed into something we became a servant to. The success focus of the mainstream model is a zero-sum-gain realized without compassion for people or concern for positive global impact. Leadership is broken because it's one-dimensional and non-inclusive of some of the most fundamental aspects of being a great leader.

EXPAND: Leadership that Moves, Fulfills and Changes the World covers both the inner game discipline and outer game systems required to be fulfilled and commercially successful at the same time.Leadership is not intended to be a restrictive box that imprisons you; it is intended to be a framework for expansion for both the leader and the organization. Reading this book is about making a decision to raise your standards and to raise your ceiling for what you believe is possible. When you do, your vision expands, and the ceiling become the floor.

“This book builds the case for YOU (as a human being and leader of your vision) to live into your full potential and beyond. Every page is profound.”
