I know who I am.

i just don’t know what I am.

Welcome to the leap.

I’m Louis B. Katz — storyteller, keynote speaker, and creator of the one-man show A NIGHT YOU WON’T REMEMBER — AND NOT BECAUSE YOU CAN’T.

After 23 years running an IT company, I sold it all to chase the stage. Some days I’m a comedian. Some days I’m a coach. Some days I’m a guy with a harmonica and a half-baked story. What I am keeps changing.

What doesn’t change is this: I tell stories that break down walls.

What I Do

🎤 Keynotes – Courage, humor, and practical tools for leaders and teams.
🏢 Workshops – Courage practiced in real time.
🎭 One-Man Show – My 15-year march toward Madison Square Garden.

What Do You Need More Of? Less Of?

More courage > less hesitation.
More laughter > less fear.
More connection > less isolation.

That’s the question I bring to every stage.

Stories I Tell

I bring real-life stories to the stage — messy, funny, and true. Stories like If the Drunk Doesn’t Kill You, Perhaps the Coconut Will • The Next Civil War Will Be Fought on Facebook • My Dad Taught Me to Not Be a Quitter • Even Walls Fall Down • BBQ Taught Me I Don’t Learn From My Mistakes • The Time I Thought I Had Lung Cancer • My Wife Bought Me a Really Expensive Pen • Andy Always Liked Glenn Better • Aunt Reva Was Never a Botanist • My First Car Was a Piece of Junk • Where Do We Go When We Die?

Why It Matters

The Beatles, Dylan, Petty, Ali — they all paid their dues before they broke through. I’m paying mine now. Along the way, I’ll help you and your people see that courage isn’t about waiting for fear to leave. It’s about moving forward anyway.

Come Along for the Ride

Live Large. Be Bold. Have Faith. Fear Nothing.
