CLARITY ATTRACTS. CONFUSION REPELS.

My mission is simple...

To serve as the world’s only Transformational Publisher, helping abundant-minded and coachable-competent entrepreneurs PUBLISH, PROTECT, and PROMOTE their intellectual property, turning their ideas into empires and 18 streams of income, so they can change the world.

Abracadabra means I create as I speak. When you fulfill your calling, you create intellectual property. According to the S&P 500, the most valuable asset of any business is its IP. When you publish, protect, and promote your IP the right way, you create exponential profit, not to mention exponential impact.  

It's my passion to show you the way and open a new world. 

You don't protect your ideas when you're big. You become big by protecting your ideas. And the sooner you take your IP seriously, the sooner people take you seriously.

Kary's Commitment to Show Up Filled Up

In a world where AI is skimming, borrowing, and redistributing content without permission, I’m genuinely grateful to now have the clarity and tools to protect what I create—at a fraction of the cost I was used to paying.

Kary is the real deal. I highly recommend him.

Christian Johnson

What I admire most is how he merges heart, strategy, and innovation. He’s a pioneer in leveraging new models (including blockchain) to turn ideas into enduring impact. Anyone who works with Kary will gain more clarity, courage, and capacity to bring their own voice to world. I wholeheartedly recommend him.

Brian Robinson, MBA

Kary reminds me of a bullet train. He is focused, intentional and built for impact. And he will speed past you in a flash on mission to where he is going. You don’t follow him for random coaching advice. You follow him because something in you wants to stop playing small.

A note from Kary

Every idea begins as a spark. For years, I kept mine hidden...held back by fear, uncertainty, and the belief that my voice didn’t matter. But clarity has a way of transforming everything.

Today, my mission is simple:
to help creators unleash the ideas they’ve kept locked inside.

Through Igniting Souls, Instant IP, and my work in publishing and entrepreneurship, I’ve watched thousands discover what’s possible when their message is clear and their intellectual property is protected.

If you’re here, it’s because you have something to contribute. Something worth building. Something worth protecting.

I look forward to hearing your story.
