A DECADE+ OF STORYTELLING POWERED BY THE BEST WRITERS ON THE PLANET

BE PART OF THE LEGACY

TAMPA BAY • FEBRUARY 23-24 2026

This FINAL encore experience will be unlike any other. Because like everything we do, it's been "reimagined" from beginning to end. It's not a virtual or hybrid event. It's not a conference. It's not a seminar, a workshop, a meeting, or a symposium. And it's not your typical run-of-the-mill everyday event crammed with stages, keynote speeches, team-building exercises, PowerPoint presentations, and all the other conventional humdrum. Because it's up close & personal by design. Where conversation trumps presentation. And where authentic connection runs deep.

Crappy to Happy

–with Kat O'Keefe-Kanavos and Mike Pitocco

Have you ever noticed that good answers and good choices rarely occur when we are stressed out or in crisis mode? You cannot focus. You cannot find clarity of thought. You cannot rationally weigh the pros and cons. It is like trying to hold back the ocean during high tide. You are simply reacting to a situation you cannot change, alter, or win. Our cluttered mind then tells us we have lost or we failed. At this point, our lives are “CRAPPY.” So how do we go from CRAPPY back to HAPPY? My guests today are Kat O’Keefe-Kanavos, one of the primary authors of Crappy to Happy, and Mike Pitocco a contributing author. The book CRAPPY to HAPPY is being released today.

2 CONVERSATIONS

  1. Frank, what an honor and such a pleasure to be on your show, and with Kat O’KEEFE-KANAVOS! Being a small part of Crappy to Happy has been such a joy and continues to be a tremendous way to thank God, and my wife Sharron, and give them credit for some amazing transformations in my life and in my marriage. Thank you for inviting me as a guest on Life Altering Events. You made it easy (especially for a newly like myself) to get my story out…..like a fireside chat! An experience I will never forget.
