Courtney & Dr. Ty Caldwell Keynote - “Doing it Scared"

Join North Texas's best Black Tech professionals and organizations, plus their allies, for the 5th Annual Houston Black Tech Symposium.

Be enlightened by the 6 Keynotes, 45 Sessions, and evening Workshop presentations on the latest tech topics, career development, and how to get into tech.

Fear is universal—whether you’re scaling a business, raising a family, or climbing a literal mountain. In this powerful keynote, Courtney and Dr. Tye Caldwell share how fear has been a constant companion on their journey—from navigating major business decisions to parenting with purpose to pushing past physical and mental limits on the world’s toughest climbs.

Through real-life stories and hard-earned insights, they challenge the idea that fear is something to avoid. Instead, they show how embracing fear can be the key to achieving audacious goals. Whether you’re launching a startup, stepping into leadership, making a career pivot or life-changing decision, raising the next generation, or tackling a personal challenge that seems insurmountable, the lesson is clear: the greatest breakthroughs happen when you do it scared. 🚀

Audiences will rethink fear, reframe risk, and take bold steps toward their biggest goals.
