Strategic Crossroads: Donald J. Trump on Leadership and Policy in a Fractured World Health & Wellness Issue (Autumn/Fall 2024)

In our Félix Magazine Health & Wellness Issue, political columnist Jane Boykun () analyzes former President Donald J. Trump’s provocative address at the Economic Club of Chicago—a speech that married populist bravado with sharp economic policy proposals.

Delivered at the Fairmont Hotel in July 2024, Trump doubled down on his belief that tariffs are not only economic tools but symbols of sovereignty and strength. “To me, the most beautiful word in the dictionary is tariff,” he declared to a packed room of CEOs, journalists, and policymakers.

But as Boykun reveals, beneath the applause lies a complex picture. Data from the Peterson Institute and other economists highlight the high costs of Trump-era tariffs—costs largely borne by American households. Her report also explores the potential for GDP loss and inflation should Trump’s sweeping tariff agenda regain traction.

Through exchanges with Bloomberg’s John Micklethwait and bold declarations of economic independence, Trump’s speech laid bare the ongoing debate: are his policies a roadmap to renewal—or a risky retreat from global cooperation?

Evans Scholars and the Impact of Golf on Communities
Health & Wellness Issue (Autumn/Fall 2024)

In our Félix Magazine Health & Wellness Issue, we explore the incredible impact of the Evans Scholars Foundation, the official charity of the 2024 BMW Championship at Castle Pines. As author Sarah Miller reveals, this nearly century-old program—powered by the Western Golf Association ()—has transformed more than 11,000 lives through full tuition and housing scholarships for high-achieving caddies with financial need.

At the 2024 tournament, a hole-in-one from PGA TOUR () star Viktor Hovland led to a scholarship being funded for an aspiring Evans Scholar, underscoring the powerful link between performance on the course and life-changing opportunities off it.

This initiative, born of legendary amateur golfer Chick Evans’ vision, continues to grow through support from players like Hovland, Scottie Scheffler, and Rory McIlroy—and through events like the BMW Championship (), which raised millions to expand access to higher education.

From Sarah Martinez’s journey at Northwestern University to the presence of Scholars volunteering onsite, the stories are moving, the impact undeniable, and the future bright.

From the Track to the Heart: The NASCAR Chicago Street Race Returns
Health & Wellness Issue (Autumn/Fall 2024)

From high-speed action to heartfelt moments, the 2024 NASCAR Chicago Street Race delivered a story that went beyond racing. In our Félix Magazine Health & Wellness Issue, writer Austin Ketelsen () takes readers inside the second annual event that lit up downtown Chicago on July 7, 2024—with dramatic turns, a historic win, and meaningful community impact.

After 80 winless starts and a string of injuries, Alex Bowman () roared back to victory in the No. 48 car, sealing a redemptive, emotional win in a race complicated by slick streets and rising pressure. “We’ve kind of sucked ever since,” Bowman admitted post-race. “You start to second-guess if you’re ever going to get a chance to win again.”

With the Windy City as a backdrop, Bowman’s return to glory became the ultimate underdog moment in motorsport—echoed in the laughter, bourbon toasts, and raw relief at the finish line.

But it wasn’t just about the race. NASCAR () and made time to give back, bringing the Speedy Bear Brigade to five local children’s hospitals—including Shriners Children’s Chicago—delivering comfort, joy, and a $10,000 donation.
