In a candid behind the scenes episode of The Kelly Roach Show, Kelly opens up about what really went down at her first large-scale women's leadership event Call to Lead, an experience designed to bring together ambitious women who want to build empires without sacrificing faith, family, or freedom.

Kelly shares the wins, the challenges, and the powerful lessons that came from pulling off a large-scale event for female entrepreneurs (plus what she and her co-host, Sandi Glandt, are doing differently for Called to Lead 2026 to make it even more impactful).

From VIP mishaps to game-changing breakthroughs in sponsorship strategy, you'll walk away with actionable insights for planning profitable live events that leave a lasting impression.
