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.

Our Quest For The Unknown

Larry Tyler
BY Larry Tyler

I often wonder why we have this built-in urge to know the unknown.  We feel a need to know what is down that overgrown path or who lived in that deserted house and why did they leave. When I came across a deserted railroad track during my travels, I would wonder why it stopped coming here and why the tracks end by the river.

We seem to feel that we must travel far and long to find life’s mysteries.  I traveled the highways and byways of the Deep South with its ghosts and dark legends; yet, in the end, I had many experiences and met some fascinating people, but I found no true magic and many mysteries but no answers.

Then sometimes you find something magical in your backyard like a 1913 penny when you rake the yard or a small crystal ball wedged into the crook of a tree.  One year we had sunflowers bloom into enormous flowers, yet we never planted them or flowers that disappeared in winter and bloomed years later.

Perhaps we just like the road as a way to comfort our introverted side.  It is not really about the unknown.  Maybe, it is just about the search.  It could be that we are not even looking for answers or mysteries at all.  Sometimes we explore for the sake of the quest.  After all the quest is a search for knowledge and in our quest for the unknown, we learn about life and even more about ourselves.

Point Of View

The answers to the universe are held in a drop of water, and perhaps, we may find ourselves within the solitude of a dirt road or the ruins of a deserted farmhouse.  In the quiet of the morning, I sit alone within my garden, and for that moment in time, I truly understand the unknown.

Awaken the possibilities … then unleash them. After 55 years of successful retail management, I have returned to my passion of writing. I write Poetry, Storytelling, and Short Stories. As a child, I grew up on front porch storytelling. I would sit and listen to my Dad and his brothers tell these great stories that were captivating, and I always wanted to hear more. I wanted to experience the things they talked about. I started writing at a young age and reading everything I could get my hands on. At twelve years old I started a storytelling group and several of my friends became writers or poets. At 16 I hopped box cars and worked the tobacco fields, orange groves, picked cotton, and spent many nights around a campfire listing to life stories. Someone once asked me why I wrote. It consumes an amazing amount of time and I assure you it is not going to make me rich. I write so that my children can touch and feel my words telling of the ones that came before us and the stories they told me. These are the chronicles of our family and even though they come from my childhood memories and are deeply rooted in a child’s remembrance at least they may feel what it was like in the time before them and cherish the things the elders left behind. I am a Columnist & Featured Contributor, BIZCATALYST360 and I have The Writers Café, a group on LinkedIn that features Poets, Writers, Artists, Photographers, and Musicians . On Facebook I have two groups and one page; Dirt Road Storytelling, From Abandoned To Rescue Dogs And Cats, and About Life, Love And Living. As writers, it is true that we honestly do not know what we hold within us until we unleash it. When our words inspire others only then will inspiration return to the writer. I will spend my twilight years in search of the next story, the next poem, and the next image. I will take the time to enjoy my Wife, our Dogs, and Cats, and our amazing new home and I will always find the time to walk down a dirt road I truly hope is that I never have to read another book on Leadership, be on a conference call or see another plan o gram as these were the tool for what I did in life and not about who I am.
