Daryn Kagan is the creator and host of DarynKagan.com, an inspirational online community that features a daily Web cast of stories to "Show the World What is Possible." DarynKagan.com has become a daily destination for thousands of Internet users who seek news stories that inspire.
Her first book, "What's Possible! 50 True Stories of People Who Dared To Dream They Could Make a Difference," was published by Meredith Books in April 2008. Much like the website, this book is a series of inspiring stories. Each one as the theme of overcoming obstacles. Think you can't do something because you're scared, don't have enough money, don't have know-how, or face physical challenges? The amazing real people in her book will change your mind.
Leon Harris (Anchor - ABC News/Channel 7) will introduce Daryn Kagan. Presentation will start at 7pm.
NOTE: Book included in admission price followed by book signing.
Launched in November 2006, the Atlanta Journal Constitution described DarynKagan.com as "a lively gathering spot," while the Boston Globe noted DarynKagan.com is "bucking the media tide," with its "emphasis on stories that illustrate the triumph of the human spirit." Daryn's also working on her second documentary. "Solartown USA" shows what can happen when people listen to Nature and together rebuild a town focused on solar energy. She'll take you to Soldiers Grove, America's first solar town, where they started incorporating solar energy 30 years ago.
Her first PBS news documentary, "Breaking The Curse,"debuted in June 2007. Daryn shared the remarkable story of one American woman's journey across the globe to India where she challenges that country's view of people with leprosy, and forever changes the lives of thousands.
Before joining the news team on CNN, Daryn served as a news anchor and reporter for CNN/Sports Illustrated, the 24-hour sports news network from CNN and Sports Illustrated, covering such major events as the Super Bowl, the NBA playoffs and international figure skating. Earlier, Daryn served as a general assignment news reporter at KTVK-TV in Phoenix. During her tenure there, she received three local Emmy Award nominations, and was named top reporter in the seven-state Rocky Mountain region. Her first television job was at KEYT-TV in Santa Barbara, CA, where she worked as an anchor and reporter. Daryn earned a bachelor's degree in Communication and American Studies from Stanford University.
Ladies Who Launch is all about entrepreneurship and creativity as a lifestyle lived in the way that is natural to women. Launch or expand what you want or what you have through the Incubator program, an in-person community designed to support you and provide resources for your business and life.
The Ladies Who Launch Incubator is not your typical "coffee klatch" or corporate-type networking. The Incubator is the first savvy forum to marry intuition with ingenuity and creativity with collaboration and dreaming! Launch, connect, grow; any motivated woman at any stage in her life can benefit from this program.

However, periodic events are open to the public and meant to give non-members a chance to connect to great women and great resources, and of course, to try us out before joining. You will find information here about our Incubator workshops, our Ongoing member meetings, and those meetings open to the public.
