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

WE DON'T DO IT ALL, BUT WE DO IT ALL "FOR GOOD"

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.

Cultivating Hope: Time to Shine Your Light?

On the verge of turning 40, an unhappy Manhattan yuppie is roped into joining his two friends on a cattle drive in the southwest. You may remember the famous scene in the 1991 movie “City Slickers” when Curly (Jack Palance) has the following exchange with Mitch (Billy Crystal):

Finding Our One Thing

As Curly said to Mitch in the above scene; One thing. Just one thing. You stick to that and the rest don’t mean sh##t. But what is the one thing? said Mitch. Curly’s answer? That’s what you have to find out.”

We’ve found ours —and we’re going to “stick to that”. Two simple words: more hope. Living a hopeful life is to recognize that everything and everyone matters. That includes you since you are part of the hopefulness in the world. Taking care of yourself matters. The quality of the work you do matters. It matters how you are treated and how you treat others. Each one of us is a small mirror of talents, love, and joy that we have to offer each other to create our world. So hope is energy —your positive energy, your talents, value, and your soul. It is the lifeblood of the human race. And it’s not just about finding your one thing; it’s about  walking the talk ↓

Hope Floats – Forward

  1. Congratulations to Dennis!
    Congratulations to HopeFest360!
    Congratulations to BIZCATALYST360!
    And congratulations to the whole human being!

    Hope, is all about how the human being can live better; how we understand the universe, nature and our Mother Earth; how we care about our Mother Earth’s health and synchonizing our body and mind with the energy change pattern of our Mother Earth.

    Hope, is all about how we open our hearts to love the world; how we guide our spiritual energy of life to “cook” our physical and materialized life the best.

  2. Dennis great message. Hope is defined as “a desire accompanied by expectations of fulfillment”. I know that the New Year will bring us a new beginning. I am looking forward for Hope Fest, and my ” hope” is that we can all celebrate 2021 by being more tolerant and respectful of each other.

  3. I like the title image. It speaks a thousand words. Hope indeed can be cultivated. As you said, it is the lifeblood of the human race. I would add that hope is in humans DNA. To have hope in these times that many consider the most bizarre times of our lives is a matter of choice. I made my choice and have faith and hope that people together can make things better.
    Thank you for sharing a message of hope, Dennis.

  4. This is raw..this is simple…this is TRUTH: “One thing. One voice. One gesture. One uplifting word of encouragement. One ripple. Because hope matters. Let hope become your “One thing”. Your superpower. Starting today. Starting right now.” #hopefest2021
