Most people never finish their book because traditional writing feels slow, isolating, and overwhelming. This talk shows a new way forward how anyone can bypass the blank page and turn spoken words into a finished book. Audiences walk away inspired to believe that their voice is enough to share their story, their wisdom, and their legacy.
What if failure isn’t the opposite of success, but the path to it? In this talk, Kary reframes failure as a powerful teacher. Through personal stories and research-backed insights, audiences discover how to turn setbacks into resilience, creativity, and confidence. They’ll leave with practical strategies to embrace failure as fuel for growth.
Every voice carries a story that can change lives, but too often, those stories remain untold. In this heartfelt talk, Kary shares his personal journey of helping his father finish a book before he passed, and why every story deserves to be preserved. Audiences leave with a renewed belief that their words, experiences, and lived wisdom have lasting value.
