Kevin Lowe is the Blind Visionary and keynote speaker who draws from his lived experience of waking up completely blind to help audiences navigate uncertainty, rethink fear, and move forward with clarity when the stakes are high.

At seventeen, Kevin was diagnosed with a brain tumor and told he had six months to live without surgery. Before that life-saving procedure, he was presented with every possible risk — including a 1% chance of becoming blind. Kevin took the risk. His life was saved. But he became the 1%. He woke up completely blind.

Rather than shrinking to the size of the odds, Kevin rose above them — transforming blindness into vision, setbacks into stages, and uncertainty into purpose. Years later, he would even retrain his brain’s visual cortex to perceive the world through sound, demonstrating the remarkable adaptability of the human mind and the power of innovative, out-of-the-box thinking.

This lived experience became the foundation of The 1% Principle — a powerful message that reframes how we see fear, risk, and possibility, and challenges people to stop letting small chances quietly determine the size of their lives.

With humor, humility, and unmistakable Southern warmth, Kevin delivers a transformational experience, not just a presentation. His talks move audiences from reflection to clarity, and from hesitation to forward momentum.

Kevin is also the creator and host of the top-ranked podcast Grit, Grace, & Inspiration, where he explores resilience, meaning, and how people carry what life hands them when certainty is never promised.

Kevin speaks to healthcare organizations, leadership teams, faith-based groups, entrepreneurs, and students — helping audiences build courage, adaptability, and confidence to move forward even when the path ahead isn’t clear.

His mission is simple and unwavering:
Don’t let small chances determine your big life.
