People want to be kind. That's what Chaz Ebert, CEO and publisher at Ebert Digital, has found in her years of work and life. She spent 24 years alongside her husband Roger Ebert working to spread empathy through cinema and she's continuing that work now. Her new book, "It's Time to Give a FECK: Elevating Humanity through Forgiveness, Empathy, Compassion, and Kindness," encourages readers to unite together for a better future and more kindness. Chaz shares lessons, stories, and invites readers to reflect on moments of growth. She talks with Maria about:
- Reason for writing (and re-writing!) this book
- Life's work and mission with late husband Roger Ebert
- How four simple principles -- forgiveness, empathy, compassion, and kindness -- can change the world
- Simple ways to spread kindness today

Intentionally Disturbing
Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness. I honor the seriousness while also appreciating wit. I’m your guide through the twisted labyrinth of the human psyche, armed with dark humor and biting wit.
