What Happens When You Finally Make the Thing? - South County

Come meet a community of professional women committed to building relationships and helping each other succeed. Free attendance! SPEAKER: Kate Edgar Owen TOPIC: What Happens When You Finally Make the Thing? WHERE: Nancy’s Urban Tower Farm 4530 Lemay Ferry Rd. Suite A St. Louis, MO 63129 WHEN: Wednesday, October 7, 2026 – 11:30AM-1:00PM CST Most of us have an idea we’ve been meaning to pursue. I had dozens that sat on the shelf for years. Although I’ve spent my career leading innovation and product development for startups and Fortune 500 companies, I had ironically left many of my own ideas unexplored. Last year, I decided to change that. I gave myself one simple challenge: create. Less than a year later, one small anniversary tradition my husband and I created has become a published book that is helping couples meaningfully connect—and, more importantly, has transformed the way I think about bringing my own ideas to life. This talk isn’t just about publishing a book. It’s about what happens when you finally choose one idea and see it through. I’ll share what I learned about overcoming perfectionism, embracing iteration, and turning “someday” into something real. Whether you’re sitting on a business idea, a passion project, or a dream you’ve been postponing, I hope you’ll leave inspired to stop waiting and start making.
