Speaker, mentor, writer, and LuskinOIC board member, John Kobara, is a well-known social entrepreneur and a facilitator of change. Kobara is a proud third-generation Japanese American who strives to lend a helping hand to institutions and people, helping them become stronger versions of themselves. Kobara holds multiple academic degrees and has pursued post-graduate studies, but it was through his professional work and volunteer efforts that he truly grew as a person. Being a practicing philanthropist, he has raised money for human development organizations throughout his life, serving as a guide to thousands of individuals, families, and foundations. His organization, Random Acts of Progress, is just one example of his mission to coach individuals and organizations to align their work with their deepest passions, promoting education, equity, and personal growth.

Kobara released his latest book titled “Quest,” which has 121 questions that prompt the reader to reflect and write their thoughts in the book.

If you are interested in discovering insights about your own personal journey and growth, join us on November 12, 2025, from 3:30–5:00 p.m. at The Luck Family Conference Center at LuskinOIC Downtown. We will have an interactive reading and discussion focused on the book, and explore practical ways we can apply the concepts from the book.
