OPEN TO ASSOCIATES LA + NY Members!

Join us for a special, bi-coastal virtual fireside chat with Michelle Khare, creator and host of the hit YouTube series CHALLENGE ACCEPTED and learn what it truly takes to pursue the things that scare you most to build something meaningful.

Daredevil Michelle Khare (5.4M YouTube subscribers) has tackled the world’s toughest professions and stunts in her award-winning docuseries CHALLENGE ACCEPTED, from escaping Harry Houdini’s water torture cell to attempting the iconic Mission: Impossible plane stunt to running 7 marathons on all 7 continents in 7 days.

In 2025, CHALLENGE ACCEPTED successfully petitioned to join the Primetime Emmy ballot in “Outstanding Hosted Nonfiction Series” as an independent show. Michelle hopes to prove that with enough hard work, perseverance, and failure, anything is possible 💪

The conversation will also touch on Michelle’s experience as a front-facing woman of AAPI identity, and how cultural perspective has informed both her storytelling and leadership.

❓Have a question for Michelle? Members are invited to submit questions in advance for possible inclusion in the conversation.
