“If a cat has nine lives, I’ve got three left—and those other six taught me how to live.” Through humor, music, and candid stories of setbacks and survival, Ric Steel shares how what almost stopped him taught him how to go forward.

Experiencing failure does not make you a failure. Ric invites audiences to learn from setbacks, stand on those lessons, and take the next step. Success is measured not only in money, but in how our work improves ourselves, society, and the lives around us.

What your audience takes away
Separating identity from setbacks — understanding that failure is an event, not who you are.
Turning a hard-earned lesson into a practical next step you can act on tomorrow.
Defining success through contribution as well as achievement.
