The book “Just Show Up: Antidote to Corporate Kool Aid” (Palmetto Publishing; 2020) by Francis Castelli is a cross between an empowering memoir and an impactful self-help/motivational book. In this book, the author shares his wealth of wisdom, knowledge, and experience in helping people achieve their professional and personal goals.

Castelli reflects on his life, his career, his successes and shortcomings, as well as his interactions with certain individuals to extol the importance of determination and purpose in achieving one's purpose. Appearing on the nationally syndicated radio program America Tonight with Kate Delaney, he said, “I had the privilege of talking, interacting, and sharing experiences with a lot of people. I realized that the key to success was literally 'show up and do something.'

“However, how you do it is important. It's very important. When people realize that they have the ability to determine what they will become by showing up and doing things as best as they can, then it's very, very rewarding not only for me learning their experiences but for them. You need to interact with them and say, 'You have in your power the tools to fashion your own destiny.'”

Reflecting on the subtitle of the book, Castelli added, “The antidote is (to) know what you want to be and understand that is in your control. Never, never, never give up. Always try, try, try and try to do with a purpose.”

Through his book “Just Show Up,” Castelli aims to invoke a sense of self-reflection among his readers and, above all, stir in them a sense of action and proactiveness. He hopes that by sharing his stories and insights, he helps readers become the person they aspire to be.

“This is what this project is all about: sharing a lifetime of experiences that molded me into the person who I have become. Hopefully, it will allow someone to view their experiences a little differently and help them make sense of what is happening in their lives.”
