What happens when the fear of losing becomes stronger than the desire to win?
Author, educator, and speaker Kevin Cripe, who spent 27 years teaching elementary school and leading an after-school chess program for children in economically challenged communities.
Kevin shares how he helped students move beyond what he calls the "poverty of low expectations," guiding them through over 200 chess tournaments and national championships to become first-generation college graduates. Together, they explore how to overcome the fear of failure, build real human connection in a digital world, raise grounded children, and find the courage to take meaningful risks in life and business.
