“I was asked to choose which jail cell I wanted to be in. And I
thought to myself, I can’t believe that my choices are limited to
this,” Steele said in a recent interview. “People have the power to
flip their own script and change their narrative.”

In his Amazon #1 New Release, Life Switch, Steele retraces his candid
story of resilience and reinvention, from narrowly avoiding jail time,
bankruptcy and death, to ultimately finding professional success and
even an NBA championship ring. Blending unflinching personal narrative
with practical advice, he reveals strategies for unlocking potential,
rediscovering passion and transforming adversity into purposeful
opportunity.

“My theory is we’re all wired for success, fulfillment and happiness.
But you have to provide the power. You have to flip the switch on,” he
said.

Life Switch serves as a roadmap for readers seeking change, offering
guidance on how to “flip the switch” and fully engage with life’s
possibilities. Steele’s journey illustrates that fulfillment is not a
matter of luck but of mindset and action.

To underscore his commitment to giving back, Steele has pledged to
donate $1 million to charity if Life Switch reaches one million copies
sold. For Steele, the pledge is more than a sales goal — it’s a
statement about the ripple effect of positive change.

“When people flip their switch, they don’t just change their own
lives,” Steele said. “They impact their families, their communities,
and ultimately, the world. This pledge is my way of sparking more
positive light in this world.”

The endowment empowers a new generation of professionals committed to values-driven leadership at this pivotal moment in world affairs

New York, NY – January 16, 2025 – Today, Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs announced a transformational gift from the Uehiro Foundation on Ethics and Education to establish the “Uehiro–Carnegie Endowment for Future Generations.” The Uehiro Foundation gift builds upon the Council’s recent project to establish its Global Ethics Hub in New York City. The new Uehiro endowment will create novel educational programs and global-scale engagements for next generation leaders. This vital work furthers Carnegie Council’s over 100-year legacy of empowering ethical reflection, analysis, and action.

“Humanity has never been more connected yet more fractured,” said Joel Rosenthal, president of Carnegie Council. “New ethical issues are emerging rapidly, fed by intense polarization, the development of novel technologies, and concern for the core principles of democracy and international cooperation. We are grateful to the Uehiro Foundation for this extraordinary gift, which will inspire a new generation to use the power of ethics to build a better world.”

The grant enables a renewal of Andrew Carnegie’s vision for mobilizing the world’s intellectual and financial resources in the service of peace, education, and moral leadership—a vision that has guided Carnegie Council for more than a century. Such work is essential today as an old order fades, and a new order is struggling to emerge.

In response to this moment, the endowment will focus on applied ethics as a tool for the professional and personal development of next generation leaders. Together, Carnegie Council and Uehiro Foundation fellows, staff, and global partners will provide access to ethics-focused education and programming to assess key moral questions, navigate difficult decisions and tradeoffs, and examine values and interests in an interconnected world.

The endowed partnership builds on a twenty-year collaboration between Carnegie Council and the Uehiro Foundation dedicated to international convenings, ethics, and education. The following statement released today by the Uehiro Foundation touched on the deep history between the two organizations: “Over the years, we have become genuine partners as ‘the voice of ethics’ in international affairs. The Uehiro-Carnegie Endowment for Future Generations will enable us to work together more effectively, with united strength, in pursuit of our common mission.”

About Uehiro Foundation: 

Founded in 1987, the Uehiro Foundation on Ethics and Education is a nonprofit foundation committed to the advancement of moral education in Japan. The Uehiro Foundation is a benefactor of the Uehiro Oxford Institute at the University of Oxford and the Uehiro Center for Advancement of Oceanography at University of Hawaii at Manoa. The Uehiro Foundation has also supported ethical research at higher education institutions in Japan such as University of Tokyo, Kyoto University, Tohoku University, and Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology.

About Carnegie Council:

Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs is an independent 501(c) (3) nonprofit institution that works to empower ethics globally by identifying and addressing the most critical ethical issues of today and tomorrow. Founded by Andrew Carnegie over a century ago, Carnegie Council sets the global ethical agenda by convening leading experts, building active communities, producing agenda-setting resources, and catalyzing the creation of ethical solutions to global problems.

We All Play a Part in Energy Conservation
October is Energy Action Month. It’s the time of year when we turn our attention toward the importance of energy conservation and resiliency. The call to save energy can reach everyone this October, from Soldiers to civilian employees to families. The U.S. Army Reserve is leading that call because conservation advances their mission, protects communities and empowers Soldiers to charge ahead.

From the electricity that powers Army Reserve facilities, to the fuel that powers their vehicles, energy touches nearly every aspect of the Army Reserve’s mission. Conserving power can help protect our energy future.

However, we all face threats to our energy security; from increasing global demands to natural disasters, fluctuating fuel costs and innovative adversarial attacks like cyber weapons. Conservation helps ensure Soldiers have the energy they need, when and where they need it, to accomplish their missions – at home and abroad, now and in the future. The Army Reserve is also focused on prioritizing energy and water security requirements to ensure Soldiers always have available, reliable power and water to continuously sustain critical missions.

Energy Action Month is an opportunity for the Army Reserve Energy Program to help the public understand the important role everyone can play in energy conservation and resiliency and offer practical, smart energy tips that everyone can implement in their daily lives.

Simple ways for everyone to reduce their energy footprint include:
 Weathering your home to eliminate air leaks and adding insulation
 Replacing your incandescent light bulbs with energy efficient compact fluorescent lights (CFLs) or light emitting diodes (LEDs)
 Creating a more energy efficient office by using natural light wherever possible
 Powering down computer monitors at end of each day
 Unplugging electronics that aren’t in use for extended periods and using power strips
 Recycle packaging materials like paper and cardboard, as we continue to increase shipping supplies to our homes
 Adjusting your thermostat to 68 degrees during the fall and winter and 78 degrees in the spring and summer

Colonel Daniel Cederman, Director, Army Reserve Installation Management Directorate will be available to help your audience learn more about reducing their carbon footprint. COL Cederman will also discuss the energy conservation innovations employed by the U.S. Army Reserve and how the public can similarly do their part to reduce energy waste.

GUEST: Heidi Waldorf, MD, Director of Laser and Cosmetic Dermatology at The Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York, N.Y.

Background:

Does summer ever make you worry about your body’s small imperfections, so much so, that it hinders the way you live your life? Although small in appearance, 50 percent of women will experience spider veins, which can make a big difference in the way women feel about their legs and themselves. This summer make sure you look, feel and do good with Asclera®. Asclera® is a prescription medicine used in sclerotherapy. This minimally invasive procedure can treat the appearance of these small, unsightly spider veins to help women look and feel better about themselves, thus giving them the confidence to do good in their communities.

Recently, Merz Aesthetics, the distributor of Asclera®, created the STAND AND DELIVER program which celebrated women who took a stand and were committed to solving important issues affecting their communities. The grand prize winner, Michelle Rubin – who received $10,000 for her local charity and a beauty makeover, exemplifies how when you look and feel good, you do good.
