Baily Hancock

It was honestly one of the best events I’ve been to in 5+ years, thank you for being so generous with your insights and information! I’m serious - I’m typically bored after a session or two and every single one was wildly impactful. You curated a stellar lineup. I just signed up to become a Luminary Member.

Jennifer Herrera

I am SO grateful for the Luminary LIVE LA event. Thank you for creating those opportunities. Luminary is the real deal and the way you show up is refreshing, warm, and accessible.
