SUMMARY:[FAN] Lucky Me: A Memoir of Changing the Odds
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, October 13\, 2023\, 7:00 PM\, Lucky Me: A Memoir of Changing the Odds\, Evanston Township High School Auditorium\, 1600 Dodge Ave\, Evanston\, IL 60201. Interviewer: Kevin Warren. BONUS BOOK GIVEAWAY of Lucky Me at the event\, while supplies last. No registration required. \n“The minute I met Rich\, I knew he was different … [He] helped me find my strength. Rich’s superpower isunderstanding what people truly need. So when you flip these pages and witness the kind of pain we feltgrowing up\, don’t flinch. Hard truths make us stronger.”—LeBron James\, from the Foreword to Lucky Me. \nSuper-agent Rich Paul is the CEO and founder of Klutch Sports Group\, one of the most influential and culturally relevant sports agencies in the world. His roster is comprised of a who’s who of professional athletes. He has been both incredibly successful and profoundly disruptive to the world of professional sports. There’s a story about Paul that everyone knows: A twenty-one-year-old kid from Cleveland who sells sports jerseys out of his car meets a high school basketball phenom named LeBron James at an airport—the two become friends and forge a decades-long partnership that reinvents the business of sports. That random meeting might seem like the lucky break that changed Paul’s life. But a moment of good fortune means nothing without the struggle that gets you there and the lessons you carry with you to the other side. \nLucky Me: A Memoir of Changing the Odds is a memoir of an extraordinary journey told in Paul’s blunt\, philosophical style. How did Paul grow into an individual capable of changing an American institution like the NBA? How did he become so disruptive to traditional power structures that the NCAA tried to bar his entry to the league by implementing a rule requiring that agents have college degrees\, which many dubbed the “Rich Paul Rule?” Lucky Me starts by charting how Rich became a gambler at an early age—his fast mind and gift for finding an edge made him a devastating dice roller who could hold his own with grown men\, win big\, and walk away alive. Shooting dice wasn’t just a pastime; it was a way to earn money for his family as his mother struggled under the weight of drug addiction. Paul dreamed of becoming a star athlete\, but the streets were where he\nthrived\, building a lucrative enterprise on shaky ground. When he found himself at a dangerous crossroads\, he summoned the teachings of his past to create a different future. \nMr. Paul will be in conversation with Kevin Warren\, President and CEO of the Chicago Bears\, the first Black President and CEO in Club history and the first President and CEO hired from outside the organization. A veteran executive of 21 years in the NFL\, Warren joined the Bears after spending the last three years as Commissioner of the Big Ten Conference. \nThis event is suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded but not live streamed and will be available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:[FAN] Democracy Awakening: Notes on the State of America Heather Cox Richardson\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, October 30\, 2023\, 7:00 PM\, Democracy Awakening: Notes on the State of America\, a FAN webinar\nfeaturing Heather Cox Richardson\, Ph.D.\, in conversation with Claire Bond Potter\, Ph.D. \nBONUS BOOK GIVEAWAY! We are giving away copies of Democracy Awakening to randomly selected Zoom\nattendees. Details on the webinar registration page. \nREGISTER: www.bit.ly/RichardsonFANWebinar \nDuring the impeachment crisis of 2019\, Heather Cox Richardson\, Ph.D.\, professor of history at Boston College\,\nlaunched a daily Facebook essay providing the historical background of the daily torrent of news. It soon turned\ninto a popular Substack newsletter\, Letters from an American\, and its subscriber base ballooned to more than\ntwo million dedicated readers who rely on her plainspoken and informed take on the present and past in\nAmerica. \nIn Democracy Awakening: Notes on the State of America\, Prof. Richardson crafts a compelling and original\nnarrative\, explaining how\, over the decades\, a small group of wealthy people have made war on American\nideals. By weaponizing language and promoting false history they have led us into authoritarianism — creating a\ndisaffected population and then promising to recreate an imagined past where those people could feel\nimportant again. She argues that taking our country back starts by remembering the elements of the nation’s\ntrue history that marginalized Americans have always upheld. Their dedication to the principles on which this\nnation was founded has enabled us to renew and expand our commitment to democracy in the past. \nProf. Richardson’s talent is to wrangle our giant\, meandering\, and confusing news feed into a coherent story\nthat singles out what we should pay attention to\, what the precedents are\, and what possible paths lie ahead. In\nher trademark calm prose\, she is realistic and optimistic about the future of democracy. Her command of history\nallows her to pivot effortlessly from the Founders to the abolitionists to Reconstruction to Goldwater to Mitch\nMcConnell\, highlighting the political legacies of the New Deal\, the lingering fears of socialism\, the death of the\nliberal consensus and birth of “movement conservatism.” \nProf. Richardson will be in conversation with Claire Bond Potter\, Ph.D.\, Professor of History Emeritus at The\nNew School for Social Research in New York City\, and the author of the Political Junkie Substack and an\nassociated podcast\, Why Now? She has written for the New York Times\, the Washington Post\, the Guardian\, the\nNew Republic\, Yale Review\, and Dissent. Her most recent book is Political Junkies: From Talk Radio to Twitter\,\nHow Alternative Media Hooked Us on Politics and Broke Our Democracy. \nThis event suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.
