“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.”

Festival runs Monday, August 17-September 16.

Another show in the Festival by the Director of Collap$e David Hirsch is:
Going Up (The Elevator Musical) which is a musical comedy. It is about five strangers stuck in an elevator and how they have to overcome their differences and work together in order to get through their disaster. The show climaxes with one of the passengers having to give birth in the elevator aided by a bicycle courier from Syria who has delivered babies before – except they were goats. The other passengers on the elevator are a heavy-set illustrator who tries diffuse arguments, an angsty teenager who is sneaking into her mother’s office to have sex with her boyfriend, and a woman who is trying to overcome her fear of elevators. The show is a lot of fun and the theme is something that would work extremely well with your programming. If you’d like to do an interview with us and get maybe a song or two, I’d be happy to work something out with you. Emmanuelle is in this show as well as the pregnant woman who gives birth. This show goes up on Tuesday 25.
