In this episode of Ten Talents, host Keith Koo sits down with Larry Hill, founder of Cal Pro Research and the Domos Project, for a deeply personal and reflective conversation about integrity, identity, and calling.

Larry shares his journey from a successful career in technology and business into a season of deep questioning—what he describes as a midlife reckoning that ultimately became a spiritual awakening. Out of that journey, the Domos Project was born.
