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.

You haven’t lived until …

You find yourself in a stuck elevator with a woman you’ve never seen before while she is having a baby;

7 CONVERSATIONS

  1. You haven’t lived until you have survived cancer, losing spleen, right kidney, female organs. You haven’t lived until you have gone hungry 3-4 days eating mustard sandwiches, with moldy bread. You haven’t lived till you survive on just $2 dollars in your wallet for a week. You haven’t lived till at the age of 13, you discovered your mothers lifeless body 8 hours after dying. You haven’t lived till you handle 8 dead body calls in less than two weeks working patrol. You haven’t lived till you turn to God and ask for forgiveness and know that you are loved and never abandoned.

    Thanks Ken, this will open a lot of dialogue i am certain. God Bless
