pain surrounding their material assets and cherished relationships. What if
hope for a better way was closer than you knew to be possible?
Packed with uncommon insights, boots on the ground exercises, and real client
stories, you will emerge from the experience with a profound exhale of relief,
and practical steps to make the journey from friction to ease.
Excerpt
In the pages that follow, I have endeavored to create more of an experience than a traditional book. Some people will power through attempting a quick read, and others will find the popcorn of a new idea in the pauses we have carefully infused throughout.
Each chapter offers deep thinking exercises, audio overviews of our counseling concepts, and real client stories. In our decades of counseling and teaching families and advisors, we know that personal interaction with the material has a dramatic effect on the depth of influence, and the speed and durability of progress. Beyond reading or hearing a presentation, this deeper engagement helps families chip away at change. If you are holding an actual 3D book, versus an e-book, you’ll find blank journal pages at the back on which to capture your thinking from the exercises. If you don’t have a hard copy, you’ll want to allocate a notebook or journal to do the work.
About the Author
Joe Strazzeri is an attorney and counselor to successful families and business
owners. With a lifelong desire to become a lawyer, he leveraged his second
career as a general contractor, hammering nails to pay for law school. He has
been self-made since his 20s.
He is a founding partner in four companies that serve multi-generational
affluent families and self-made business owners, and he teaches the trusted
advisors to both. Their life’s work centers on Three Systems of Family
Thriving: family wealth, family relationships and family business
relationships, and family advisory relationships. They focus on four key
capabilities: tax masterminding, business succession, cleaning up messes in
families’ existing planning, and Family Synergy Work.
Over 25 years in business, he and his teams have counseled more than 750
eight- and nine-figure net worth families, and thousands of others. This
experiential sample size renders the insights and perspectives shared in this
book.
Joe credits his entrepreneurial tenacity to the dichotomy of his
parents’ origins. His mother a German, Iowa farmgirl, and his father, a
crazy Sicilian entrepreneur, who began life as a teenage immigrant and drove
the success of several real estate enterprises.

carefully crafted lies?
In Breaking Deceptions, Kirk Sassak, a mechanical engineer turned first-time
author, delivers a powerful exposé on the modern media’s role in
distorting truth and reshaping national narratives. From COVID-19
misinformation and the Hunter Biden laptop cover-up to the media’s
radically different treatment of the 2020 BLM riots and the January 6 Capitol
riot, this book takes readers on a gripping journey through some of the most
controversial events in recent American history.
With the structured mind of an engineer and the creative soul of a poet,
Sassak dissects media narratives with precision and passion—shedding
light on the rise of politically motivated journalism and its impact on
democracy, freedom, and truth.
🛑 They lied to us about:
● Russian Collusion
● Charlottesville
● COVID Lab Leaks
● Hunter Biden’s Laptop
● President Biden’s Mental Fitness
● And much more…
Breaking Deceptions challenges you to confront the uncomfortable reality: a
biased media is dangerous—no matter whose side they’re on.
● Are concerned about media bias, fake news, and propaganda
● Want to understand how misinformation influences political outcomes
● Appreciate investigative non-fiction that questions mainstream narratives
Seek a thought-provoking, politically charged read rooted in real events
EXCERPT
Ever since that fateful day, life on Ciltrol would never be quite the same. It was back in 1993 (as measured by Earth time) that Kendi radio-astronomers first discovered communications originating from another planet – Earth. (However, on Ciltrol, it is unceremoniously referred to as LX-190.) And, by the way, to keep things simple, let’s only use Earth time going forward. Ciltrol is the first planet in their solar system; orbiting a star they call, Kalari; which we call 61 Virginis. Kalari is practically identical to our sun in type, size and composition. Likewise, Ciltrol is practically identical to Earth: nearly the same size; same composition; same core structure and geomagnetic characteristics; roughly the same orbital distance and axial orientation from Kalari and…like Earth…Ciltrol has a single moon: same size, same composition and same orbital distance. What are the odds of that!?! Indeed, other than being slightly more arid than Earth, Ciltrol is nearly a carbon copy – a planet with vast salt-water oceans, oxygen/nitrogen atmosphere, four mainland continents, numerous large islands and archipelagos; teaming with a vast variety of carbon-based life; finding home in climates ranging from scorching hot arid deserts to lush tropical rain forests to temperate country-sides to frigid ice-cold tundras. And, to be clear, Ciltrol is not the lone child orbiting Kalari. Besides Ciltrol, there are three other large gaseous giants, much like our Neptune and Uranus, that make up the Kalarian Solar System; a solar system nearly 28 light years away from Earth.
About the Author
ePowertrain division of a global automotive driveline supplier. With over two
decades of experience applying structured problem-solving and technical
precision, Kirk brings the same analytical mindset to his writing. His passion
for truth and clarity—both in engineering and in public
discourse—fuels his work as a nonfiction author.
Kirk’s journey as a writer began in 2011 during a professional
assignment in Mexico, where he first discovered a surprising talent for
poetry. Though his writing took a backseat for nearly a decade, the events of
2020—particularly media coverage surrounding COVID-19 and major
political events—reignited his creative drive and moral conviction.
Blending the logic of an engineer with the expressive voice of an artist, Kirk
now writes with purpose: to challenge mainstream narratives, spark awareness,
and advocate for journalistic integrity.
When he’s not writing or managing complex engineering projects, Kirk
enjoys exploring the intersections of art, logic, and truth. Breaking
Deceptions is his first published book.
