With heart, soul, grit, and brutal honesty, Kai examines innovation, success, creativity, and failure through a musical lens. His ability to customize a message for our group showed incredible prowess and agility. Kai Kight is simply one-of-a-kind.”
- Hospitality Design Summit
“Kai, your storytelling and ability to provide examples that help us understand your concepts is inspiring. I was energized by your ability to have us challenge the way we think about recreating the present. There were so many great insights I find myself still digesting, thank you for sharing with us today and incorporating who and where we are into the session.”
