Have you ever traced the fruit of your inspiration back to the individual seeds? Does innovation happen all at once? What still inspires you after many cycles of life?

Did you ever find yourself somewhere and ask, "Why am I here?" Have you ever wondered how you can find yourself "there"? How much do you think about things before jumping off into something new?

A Special Encore Presentation, especially timely as people begin to imagine a new future for life, work, play, and new adventures.

Meet Kris Kelso, a person with a great track record of iterating and innovating their own life for decades. We sat down with Kris to discuss how his conversation with an executive coach years ago about imposter syndrome piqued his curiosity. That turned into more conversations, that turned into a talk, that turned into a keynote, that turned into a book. What do you have in your hands that could turn into something else that could meaningfully help others?

Roundtable adds people to the Loop to expand the conversation and explore topics through the voices and experiences of others.

When you have to start a project or task of any kind, do you ever feel like the classic sitcom dad asking back to the teenager child who is working an angle, “What is it, when is it, who is it with, and how much is it going to cost me?” Or do you feel like the teenager who has to work around authority by being vague and misleading to get something? We as show watchers understand the greater context and narrative unfolding, unbeknownst to all the characters. It makes for great TV, but a poor reality when you need a cohesive team.
