WHAT IF YOUR BIG IDEAS STILL NEED A SPARK?
Karla Peters shows artists, dreamers, and big-idea humans how to stop circling their work and actually bring it to life.
NOT YOUR AVERAGE KEYNOTE.
Karla Peters is a violinist who’s toured internationally, a creative director who’s built 150+ brands, and the magician behind The Inspired Foundry — a studio where messy ideas become magnetic. She blends artistry, strategy, and soul into talks that leave audiences nodding, laughing, and finally believing they can do the damn thing.
“Karla makes your work feel possible — and then impossible to ignore. I’ve never left a talk so ready to begin again.”—

SOUND FAMILIAR?
Maybe you’ve been sitting on an idea for months — waiting until it’s “ready,” polishing it in your head until it gleams. But the more you wait, the heavier it feels. You’re stuck in prep mode, never launch mode.
Or maybe you’ve started. You’ve built the first pieces, shared a little, made some progress. But now you’re knee-deep in the messy middle, wondering if it’s even worth finishing. Everything feels harder than it should.
Or maybe the voice in your head is louder than the one in your heart. Who am I to do this? I’m not really an artist, not really a visionary, not really creative enough. So you shrink back, scroll instead, and tell yourself it wasn’t that important anyway.
TRUSTED BY
HERE’S WHAT’S AT STAKE.
Ignored ideas don’t just fade — they fester.
Teams stall. Creatives burn out.
Organizations lose their spark.
The cost of doing nothing? A world stripped of the beauty only your people can create.
KARLA’S KEYNOTES
The Season of Returning: How to Keep Showing Up for Your Ideas
Every idea we love eventually tests our devotion. We get distracted, discouraged, or pulled away by life — and then we wonder if it’s worth coming back. This keynote explores the art of returning: how to re-enter your creative work with fresh perspective, renewed courage, and a rhythm that keeps you moving forward without burning out.
Minimum Viable Magic: Finding the Smallest Step That Changes Everything
Big visions can feel paralyzing. Minimum Viable Magic is the antidote — the smallest, most potent step that breathes life into your idea without demanding perfection. In this talk, Karla shares a practical framework for identifying your MVM, making real progress quickly, and proving to yourself (and your audience) that your idea deserves to exist.
The Art of Belonging: Creativity Dies Alone (and Thrives in Community)
We love the myth of the lone genius — but most ideas don’t thrive in isolation. They need circles, collaborators, and communities that hold us accountable and remind us our work matters. This keynote reframes belonging as a creative practice, showing why your audience’s best ideas will only flourish when they’re nurtured in connection with others.
