Welcome to LITA and our second episode of Love is the Answer! Thank you for joining me, my name is Jeff Conner and I just love talking to people about love. I’m an author, entrepreneur, speaker and business coach and I’ve found my greatest successes come when I help other people get what they want.
You may recognize my guest today from the hit television show, The Voice.
Kat Perkins grew up in Scranton, North Dakota surrounded by a family of musicians and quickly knew at a young age that performing is what she wanted to make her life career. She moved to the Minneapolis area to further pursue music and ended up gaining success with her band, Scarlet Haze where she opened for Bon Jovi.
However, like all of us, Kat had her struggles. She had vocal cord surgery which threatened her musical career. However, after a three year hiatus from performing, she made her comeback on NBC’s The Voice where she became a finalist under coach, Adam Levine.
Kat has gone on to Chart in the top 5 on iTunes several times since The Voice and she is using her platform to help others. Kat really puts LITA into action through school speaking engagements, across the nation, where she speaks to students about pursuing their dreams and living a fearless life. She has also started a non-profit foundation called The Rising Star Foundation, providing scholarships and opportunity for aspiring musicians while also giving back to the local community.
I found Kat to be full of energy and a vigor for life. It as obvious to me in the first few minutes how much Kat nails the idea of LITA.
During our conversation, Kat and I covered a lot of ground! We discuss love, race, education, and art and how our response to each of these will impact the world around us.
So, Please, sit back, relax and enjoy listening in on the fantastic conversation that follows…
