Documentary Highlights Shift Towards Ethical Leadership in Corporate America

The documentary film 'Confessions of a CEO: My Life in an Out of Balance World' is making waves for its candid exploration of corporate leadership and the personal transformation of Tom Gegax, a former executive turned ethical business advocate. Directed by Eric Gardner and distributed by Virgil Films, the documentary not only chronicles Gegax's personal journey but also critiques the current state of corporate culture, featuring insights from prominent figures like Deepak Chopra and Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

At the heart of the documentary is the alarming expansion of CEO-to-worker pay ratios, which Gegax highlights as a symbol of the disconnect within modern corporate environments. From a modest 20-1 ratio in the 1970s, today's figures have skyrocketed to an unprecedented 350-1, raising questions about equity and the values driving corporate America.

Gegax, now the chairman of The Gramercy Fund, has channeled his transformation into action, investing in over 100 companies committed to making a positive societal impact. His advocacy for conscious leadership, informed by his own experiences and detailed in his published works, offers a blueprint for integrating ethical practices into the core of business operations.

Released in February on platforms such as Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV, 'Confessions of a CEO' has been featured in publications like The San Diego Union-Tribune and Modern Tire Dealer, providing a timely examination of the potential for leadership to drive meaningful change in the corporate world.
