“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.”

When I read the following letter BELOW from Marc, it reminded me of the time in my life when I was Associate Prroducer of the Soap Opera,  on CBS TV, LOVE OF LIFE.  Christopher Reeves was an actor on our soap, a well respected professional and nice guy…we all loved him.  He represented strength,  humility and leadership when selected to be the next Superman we were proud and happy for him.  Last night, I attended a Jewelry Auction at the fantastic Sothebys in New York, thanks Gene:) it was a great experience and the photo for this post comes from Sothebys of the original Superman Costume that Chris wore.

I believe the words in the following letter sent to me by Marc represent Chris,  and Superman…both inspirational people who helped us all do better.  Thank you  .

From Beast  Mode Tuesday – Happy Tuesday !!
Some of us wouldn’t be here without that person.

The one who saw something in us before we saw it ourselves.

The one who didn’t just pat us on the back — they pushed us forward.

The one who looked us in the eye and said, “You’ve got this,” when we weren’t sure if we did.

It might have been a boss who took a chance on you when your résumé was thin and your confidence was thinner.

It might have been a spouse who said, “Go for it,” when you were staring down a career change that made no financial sense at the time.

It might have been a parent who sacrificed so you could have a better shot than they ever did.

It might have been a coach, a teacher, a mentor — someone who cared enough to light your fuse and walk away, trusting you’d figure out how to burn bright.
It also might be G-d who never gives up on us.

And here’s the truth…

Belief is the most valuable currency we’ll ever receive.

It doesn’t show up in your bank account, but it changes the way you walk into the world.

When someone believes in you, it forces you to measure up — not to their expectations, but to the potential they see in you.

It makes you push harder when you want to quit.

It makes you get back up faster when you’ve been knocked down.

It makes you carry yourself differently because you’re not just representing you anymore — you’re carrying the weight of their trust.

It’s about taking a breath and remembering who believed in you before the wins.

It’s about honoring that belief by showing up like a beast every single day, because you refuse to make them regret giving it to you.

So if you can, send that message.

Make the call.

Look them in the eye.

And say it without hesitation:

Thank you for believing in me.

Then, get back out there and prove they were right.

SAY THIS:

“I won’t waste the belief you’ve given me.”

CALL TO ACTION:

Tag the person who believed in you when it mattered most. Tell them what it meant. Then go out this week and make them proud.

But more importantly I believe in you my friend and the impact you will continue to make!

Blessings ;
Marc
