OWNING IT: The Mess Is Your Momentum 

In this honest and energizing keynote, Afton Holt — entrepreneur, ag industry champion, and founder of CornerPost — shares a powerful message on resilience, mindset, and the not-so-pretty process of navigating life and career that we often hide. Drawing from her own story of public failure, reinvention, and leadership through uncertainty, Afton explores what she calls “the messy middle” — the season where success feels far, failure feels close, and the real growth is happening behind the scenes.
Through raw personal stories and relatable truths, she challenges the idea that we need to have it all figured out, and instead reframe how we perceive setbacks. Attendees will leave with a renewed mindset, practical thoughts for navigating personal and professional pivots, and the reminder that the resistance we feel in hard seasons is often a sign we’re right where we need to be.
Whether you're a professional, community leader, entrepreneur, or someone simply pushing through the chaos of life — this talk is your invitation to own your middle, find purpose in the process, and keep showing up.
