LOS ANGELES – March 23, 2010
– John Hope Bryant, Chairman, Founder and CEO of Operation HOPE (HOPE) sits down with Barry Kibrick, host of the treasured "Between the Lines" talk show, and discusses themes from his bestselling book LOVE LEADERSHIP:A New Way to Lead in a Fear-Based World on Wednesday March 24, 2010 at 12:30 pm on WYCC TV in Chicago.

LOVE LEADERSHIP bridges the gap between solid business advice and pure inspiration. The book outlines the five laws of love-based leadership: Loss Creates Leaders (there can be no strength without legitimate suffering), Fear Fails (only respect and love leads to success), Love Makes Money (love is at the core of true wealth), Vulnerability is Power (when you open up to people they open up to you), and Giving is Getting (the more you offer to others, the more they will give back to you).

Barry Kibrick is the host and producer of Between the Lines, where he interviews famous novelists, distinguished authors, screenwriters, and award-winning journalists. Previous guests include sports legend John Wooden, Oscar award-winning screenwriter Randall Wallace, and abstract romantic artist, Kamran Khavarani. An archive of these interviews as well as other guests can be found at www.ket.org/tvschedules/series.episode.list.php?id=BLBK.

WYCC's broadcasts 24-hours a day on Channel 20 and Channel 21 Digital and 26 counties in Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin.
