Hi. I’m Kai — Founder of Inspiration Unscripted.

My journey to found Inspiration Unscripted began with a question I’ve carried since childhood. When my mother, newly diagnosed with breast cancer, shared her regrets about the ideas she never brought to life, it sparked a lasting curiosity: Why do some people write new music in their lives and work while others simply play the notes they’ve been handed?

That question led me to study human-centered design and ethnographic research at Stanford University, where I trained under Dr. BJ Fogg in the Behavior Design Lab. After Stanford, I spent a decade working with organizations such as PwC, Google and Disney, studying how professionals respond to uncertainty, transition, and pressure.

Across industries, I observed the same underlying barrier to change. In moments of transformation, the challenge is rarely technology or process—it's identity. People are not just being asked to "do" something differently, they are being asked to "be" someone different, to inhabit a way of being that often opposes what they perceive as acceptable for them to be.

I set out to create a service where the work isn't about delivering answers, but about revising the internal rules that govern what someone believes is OK for them to be. Since 2023, I partnered with a licensed therapist and a small team of collaborators to create Inspiration Unscripted — a service that blends behavioral science and entertainment to help organizations address the hidden core of change.

Drawing on my background as a violinist and composer, we use metaphor, story, and sound to help professionals navigate these internal blocks — tools that help people step into new ways of being, regardless of age, background, or industry.
