line:85% position:40% size:75% AND SO IT'S JUST CONNECTING TO line:85% position:20% size:50% THOSE OPPORTUNITIES.
line:85% position:19% size:48% AND SO OUT OF THESE line:85% position:44% size:78% CONVERSATIONS, THE IDEA CAME TO line:85% position:31% size:68% APPLY TO THE M.I.T.

line:85% position:40% size:75% WE SPENT TWO YEARS STUDYINGING line:85% position:40% size:75% AND WE'LL TALK MORE ABOUT THAT line:85% position:44% size:78% BUT THE IDEA WAS BECAUSE OF THE line:85% position:36% size:73% CROSS STATE COLLABORATION AND line:85% position:36% size:73% RELATIONSHIPS AND TRUST BEING line:85% position:50% size:80% BUILT GREAT THINGS HAPPEN AND WE line:85% position:44% size:78% HAVE SEEN SINCE THAT TIME, TIME line:85% position:25% size:60% AND TIME AGAIN WHERE THE line:85% position:50% size:80% RELATIONSHIPS WE HAVE ACROSS THE line:85% position:50% size:80% STATE ARE BRINGING OPPORTUNITIES line:85% position:50% size:80% AND BENEFITS TO ALL PARTS OF THE line:85% position:12% size:15% STATE.

line:85% position:50% size:80% COMING HERE TO KENTUCKY A LITTLE line:85% position:18% size:45% BIT OF BACK STORY.
line:85% position:40% size:75% ABOUT THE TIME I WAS IN MIDDLE line:85% position:33% size:70% SCHOOL THE FOUNDERS OF LOGAN line:85% position:50% size:80% ALUMINUM, AT THAT TIME IT WAS AN line:85% position:44% size:78% COND A, WAS LOOKING FOR A PLACE line:85% position:29% size:65% TO BUILD ANOTHER CAN SHEET line:85% position:20% size:50% MANUFACTURING PLANT.
line:85% position:44% size:78% THEY LOOKED ALL AROUND AND THEY line:85% position:40% size:75% CHOSE THE VALLEY IN THE MIDDLE line:85% position:40% size:75% OF THE FIELDS OF LOGAN COUNTY, line:85% position:44% size:78% 30 MILES WEST OF BOWLING GREEN.
line:85% position:33% size:70% THE PLANT WAS DESIGNED TO BE line:85% position:40% size:75% 400 MILLION POUNDS A YEAR WITH line:85% position:22% size:55% 600 EMPLOYEES IN 1985. line:85% position:31% size:68% 190 ECONOMIC TROUBLE, 2001, line:85% position:33% size:70% 2008, PANDEMIC LAIR, THEY'RE line:85% position:40% size:75% PRODUCING 2.4 BILLION-POUND OF line:85% position:50% size:80% ALUMINUM WITH 1400 EMPLOYEES OUT line:85% position:44% size:78% OF THAT ONE PLANT IN THE MIDDLE line:85% position:33% size:70% OF NOWHERE THE GROWTH IS NOT line:85% position:44% size:78% BECAUSE THERE IS NO COMPETITION line:85% position:27% size:63% OR THE PLANT DID NOT HAVE line:85% position:13% size:23% TROUBLES.
line:85% position:15% size:33% IT'S BECAUSE.
line:85% position:36% size:73% CULTURE OF THE PEOPLE IN THIS line:85% position:11% size:13% AREA.
line:85% position:44% size:78% THE STORY THEY TELL ME WHEN ANY line:85% position:33% size:70% NEW EMPLOYEE COMES TO LOGAN, line:85% position:36% size:73% THEY TELL US A STORY, AND WHY line:85% position:29% size:65% LOGAN CHOSE TO BE IN LOGAN line:85% position:17% size:43% COUNTY, KENTUCKY.
line:85% position:50% size:80% A CITY BOY LIKE ME KOALA LUMPOR, line:85% position:40% size:75% WHEN A CAR BREAKS DOWN, CALL A line:85% position:27% size:63% TOW TRUCK, SEND IT TO THE line:85% position:44% size:78% GARAGE, CALL IN AND SAY I CAN'T line:85% position:36% size:73% COME TO WORK, CAR BROKE DOWN.
line:85% position:50% size:80% WHEN A FARMER OR A COAL MINER OR line:85% position:44% size:78% A TRUCK DRIVER IN THE MIDDLE OF line:85% position:33% size:70% THE DAY, IF EQUIPMENT BREAKS line:85% position:22% size:55% DOWN, WHAT DO THEY DO?
line:85% position:36% size:73% THEY LOOK AROUND FOR A BUNGEE line:85% position:25% size:60% CHORD, DUCT TAPE, GET IT line:85% position:44% size:78% RUNNING, FINISH THE DAY'S WORK, line:85% position:50% size:80% SIT THE NIGHT IN THE GARAGE, GET line:85% position:31% size:68% IT READY FOR THE NEXT DAY'S line:85% position:11% size:13% WORK.
line:85% position:36% size:73% THAT'S THE OWNERSHIP CULTURE.
line:85% position:33% size:70% THAT'S THE MAKERS CULTURE OF line:85% position:50% size:80% KENTUCKY THAT'S THE CULTURE THAT line:85% position:31% size:68% MADE ME DECIDE KENTUCKY WAS line:85% position:17% size:43% GOING TO BE HOME.
line:85% position:40% size:75% THIS IS THE LONGEST PLACE I'VE line:85% position:50% size:80% EVER LIVED IN MY ENTIRE LIFE AND line:85% position:22% size:55% I'VE LIVED SOME YEARS.
line:85% position:17% size:43% YOU CAN SEE THAT.
line:85% position:50% size:80% I BELIEVE THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF line:85% position:14% size:28% RESILIENCE.
line:85% position:40% size:75% ONE IS THE PHOENIX KIND, WHERE line:85% position:50% size:80% BAD TIMES COME AND IT RAISES OUT line:85% position:40% size:75% OF THE ASHES AND EVERY TIME IT line:85% position:50% size:80% BURNS DOWN, IT RAISES OUT OF THE line:85% position:12% size:15% ASHES.
line:85% position:44% size:78% UNDER THE DRAGON KIND, DESIGNED line:85% position:40% size:75% TO WITH STAND ANY FIRE THAT IS line:85% position:36% size:73% THROWN TO IT I THINK KENTUCKY line:85% position:25% size:60% HAS GROWTH BOTH OF THOSE line:85% position:13% size:23% CULTURES.
line:85% position:50% size:80% HERE WE HAVE BOTH THOSE CULTURES line:85% position:44% size:78% WHAT WE NEED IS A COLLABORATIVE line:85% position:40% size:75% STRATEGY GUIDANCE TO TAKE THAT line:85% position:50% size:80% AND MAKE SOMETHING OUT OF IT AND line:85% position:25% size:60% BE PROUD OF WHAT WE ARE.

line:85% position:40% size:75% SO WEST, WEST KENTUCKY IS WHAT line:85% position:44% size:78% THEY CALL ILLINOIS OR MISSOURI.
line:85% position:11% size:13% SO... line:85% position:13% size:25% [LAUGHTER] line:85% position:36% size:73% AND NORTHERN KENTUCKY, I CALL line:85% position:11% size:13% OHIO.
line:85% position:13% size:25% SO ANYHOO.
line:85% position:33% size:70% I SPEND-- I STARTED OFF AS A line:85% position:44% size:78% PROFESSOR WORKING BY MYSELF AND line:85% position:36% size:73% OVER TIME WE HAVE GROWN TO AN line:85% position:36% size:73% ORGANIZATION OF 15 PEOPLE WHO line:85% position:40% size:75% WORK ACROSS THE STATE IN AREAS line:85% position:27% size:63% OF AREAS OF RURAL HEALTH, line:85% position:29% size:65% COMMUNITY DESIGN, ECONOMIC line:85% position:29% size:65% DEVELOPMENT AND LEADERSHIP line:85% position:50% size:80% DEVELOPMENT I KNOW A FAIR AMOUNT line:85% position:50% size:80% OF YOU HERE FROM WORK WE'VE DONE line:85% position:50% size:80% IN THE PAST AND I GET SO EXCITED line:85% position:29% size:65% BY THE WORK THAT GETS DONE line:85% position:31% size:68% LOCALLY AND I AM LOYAL TO A line:85% position:40% size:75% FAULT AND IN I TIME WE SEE ANY line:85% position:31% size:68% NEW STORY THAT POPS UP WITH line:85% position:27% size:63% SOMEONE WITH NO TEETH AND line:85% position:50% size:80% MOUNTAIN DEW, IT MAKES US WORK A line:85% position:20% size:50% LITTLEBILITY HARDER.
line:85% position:40% size:75% I THINK THIS DISCUSSION AROUND line:85% position:50% size:80% NARRATIVE IS SO CRITICAL BECAUSE line:85% position:40% size:75% I TELL PEOPLE WHEN YOU SEE THE line:85% position:31% size:68% ONE PERSON WHO DOESN'T HAVE line:85% position:44% size:78% TEETH DRINKING THE MOUNTAIN DEW line:85% position:44% size:78% AND THAT'S THE STORY OF A RURAL line:85% position:44% size:78% PODUNK COMMUNITY, RIGHT NEXT TO line:85% position:22% size:55% THEM IS RUSTY JUSTICE.
line:85% position:44% size:78% IF YOU CAN SHIFT THE CAMERA SIX line:85% position:44% size:78% INCHES TO THE RIGHT, YOU'VE GOT line:85% position:36% size:73% THE STORY AND YOU HAVE PEOPLE line:85% position:33% size:70% INVESTED IN PRIDE AND JUST A line:85% position:18% size:45% WHOLE NEW CULTURE.
line:85% position:24% size:58% I BELIEVE STRONGLY THAT line:85% position:36% size:73% NARRATIVE IS THE WAY FORWARD.
line:85% position:33% size:70% AND IT BREAKS MY HEART EVERY line:85% position:29% size:65% TIME THERE IS A STORY THAT line:85% position:36% size:73% PORTRAYS A RURAL COMMUNITY IN line:85% position:50% size:80% OUR STATE AS SORRY, AS HOPELESS, line:85% position:36% size:73% AS USELESS SO THAT IS MY LIFE line:85% position:40% size:75% GOAL IS TO CONTINUE TO WORK TO line:85% position:36% size:73% SUPPORT OUR RURAL COMMUNITIES line:85% position:50% size:80% THAT NEED PEOPLE WHO COME IN AND line:85% position:36% size:73% WORK ALONGSIDE AND HELP FOLKS line:85% position:27% size:63% FIGURE OUT HOW DO WE MOVE line:85% position:33% size:70% FORWARD SO WE HAVE TRIED-- I line:85% position:44% size:78% HAVE ALWAYS THOUGHT I HAVE BEEN line:85% position:44% size:78% ENTREPRENEURIAL BUT JUST WITHIN line:85% position:33% size:70% WEARING A UNIVERSITY HAT, WE line:85% position:24% size:58% HAVE JUST TRIED THINGS.
line:85% position:50% size:80% I KEEP TELLING FOLKS, YOU'VE GOT line:85% position:50% size:80% TO BE A RISK TAKER AND WE TRY TO line:85% position:33% size:70% HELP OUR COMMUNITIES EMBRACE line:85% position:50% size:80% THINGS THAT JUST DON'T GO RIGHT.
line:85% position:17% size:40% FAILURES, RIGHT?
line:85% position:36% size:73% RUSTY, HOW MANY FAILURES HAVE line:85% position:13% size:20% YOU HAD?
line:85% position:21% size:53% >> TOO MANY TO COUNT.
line:85% position:44% size:78% >> RIGHT, BUT WE SAY RUSTY, YOU line:85% position:18% size:45% KEEP GOING, RIGHT?
line:85% position:50% size:80% BECAUSE THE NEXT ONE IS GOING TO line:85% position:44% size:78% BE THE ONE THAT TAKES US OUT OF line:85% position:11% size:13% HERE.
line:85% position:31% size:68% SO MY HOPE IS TO CREATE THE line:85% position:50% size:80% SYSTEMS IN THESE PLACES THAT SAY line:85% position:36% size:73% RUSTY, YOU REALLY SUCKED THIS line:85% position:44% size:78% ONE UP BUT NEXT ONE YOU'VE GOT.
line:85% position:44% size:78% AND THAT'S NOT THE CULTURE THAT line:85% position:18% size:45% WE CURRENTLY HAVE.
line:85% position:33% size:70% WE NOW HAVE THE GOSH, THAT'S line:85% position:44% size:78% REALLY EMBARRASSING FOR YOU AND line:85% position:40% size:75% WE TAKE THAT AND WE EMBRACE IT line:85% position:36% size:73% AND WE SAY WE JUST CAN'T TAKE line:85% position:44% size:78% RISK ANYMORE AND ONE THING I'VE line:85% position:40% size:75% LEARNED ABOUT KENTUCKY, WE ARE line:85% position:17% size:40% NOT RISK TAKING.
line:85% position:40% size:75% WE ARE VERY SATISFIED WITH THE line:85% position:44% size:78% STATUS QUO AND WE ARE VERY MUCH line:85% position:33% size:70% INTERESTED IN THINKING ABOUT line:85% position:17% size:43% MARGINAL CHANGES.
line:85% position:50% size:80% WE ARE JUST NOT GOING TO MAKE IT line:85% position:22% size:55% WITH MARGINAL CHANGES.
line:85% position:50% size:80% WE HAVE GOT TO JUST TAKE A LEAP.
line:85% position:20% size:50% IF WE FALL, WE FALL.
line:85% position:50% size:80% BUT I GUARANTEE YOU WE ARE GOING line:85% position:40% size:75% TO MAKE MIEF HIVE WE ARE GOING line:85% position:31% size:68% TO BE SUCCESSFUL AND WE ARE line:85% position:22% size:55% GOING TO MAKE IT OVER.
line:85% position:36% size:73% SO WAS WE DO A LOT OF TIME IS line:85% position:40% size:75% WORK WITH OUR YOUTH AND REALLY line:85% position:29% size:65% TRY TO ALLOW THEM TO THINK line:85% position:12% size:18% FREELY.
line:85% position:44% size:78% MOST PLACES THAT WE GO, AND I'M line:85% position:33% size:70% DOING STRATEGIC PLANNING FOR line:85% position:36% size:73% COMMUNITIES, THEY SAY WE JUST line:85% position:31% size:68% WANT OUR YOUTH TO COME BACK line:85% position:50% size:80% HOME, AND SO WE'VE GOT TO CREATE line:85% position:44% size:78% PLACES WHERE THEY CAN COME BACK line:85% position:11% size:13% HOME.
line:85% position:44% size:78% THEY CAN START NEW ENTERPRISES.
line:85% position:25% size:60% THEY CAN BE RISK TAKERS.
line:85% position:31% size:68% AND THEY CAN BE EMBRACED BY line:85% position:17% size:40% THEIR COMMUNITY.
line:85% position:40% size:75% AND ONE OF OUR BIGGEST SUCCESS line:85% position:50% size:80% STORIES IS BACK IN THE DAY, THIS line:85% position:50% size:80% IS MANY, MANY DAYS, WE STARTED A line:85% position:40% size:75% PROGRAM CALLED YELP WHICH IS A line:85% position:27% size:63% YOUTH ENGAGEMENT PROGRAM.
line:85% position:27% size:63% IT'S NOT ABOUT INDIVIDUAL line:85% position:40% size:75% LEADERSHIP ALTHOUGH CLEARLY IT line:85% position:44% size:78% IS IMPORTANT, IT IS ABOUT YOUTH line:85% position:36% size:73% HAVING A SAY IN THE FUTURE OF line:85% position:17% size:40% THEIR COMMUNITY.
line:85% position:33% size:70% AND WE HAVE NOW WATCHED THIS line:85% position:36% size:73% VERY YOUNG WOMAN, AT THE TIME line:85% position:29% size:65% SHE WAS A FRESHMAN IN HIGH line:85% position:50% size:80% SCHOOL, WHO PARTICIPATED IN THAT line:85% position:13% size:20% PROGRAM.
line:85% position:40% size:75% SHE THEN WENT ON TO UNIVERSITY line:85% position:14% size:30% OF KENTUCKY.
line:85% position:44% size:78% SHE NOW WORKS FOR SEDIC AND NOW line:85% position:36% size:73% JEFF YOU MAY NOT HAVE MET HER line:85% position:31% size:68% BUT SHE COMES UP TO ME WITH line:85% position:50% size:80% IDEAS ABOUT CHANGING THE CULTURE line:85% position:36% size:73% FOR YUTD AND HOW DO WE ENGAGE line:85% position:40% size:75% YUTD AND HOW DO WE GET THEM TO line:85% position:40% size:75% BE BUSINESS OWNERS IN THE NEXT line:85% position:25% size:60% GENERATION OF WORKFORCE.
line:85% position:44% size:78% AND EVERY TIME SHE TALKS I'M SO line:85% position:40% size:75% AMAZE AND I'M PRIDEFUL THAT WE line:85% position:50% size:80% HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE HER line:85% position:50% size:80% BECAUSE WE HAVE HAD PLACES WHERE line:85% position:44% size:78% THEY JUST SAY THIS IS ALL I CAN line:85% position:11% size:8% DO.
line:85% position:19% size:48% THIS IS ALL I HAVE.
line:85% position:33% size:70% AND SO IT'S WORKING WITH THE line:85% position:29% size:65% YOUTH AND PROVIDING THEM A line:85% position:40% size:75% PLATFORM FOR HALVING THOSE BIG line:85% position:12% size:15% IDEAS.
line:85% position:33% size:70% SO THE STORY I'LL CLOSE WITH line:85% position:40% size:75% THIS WAS MAYBE, I GUESS IT WAS line:85% position:33% size:70% NINE YEARS AGO WE WERE DOING line:85% position:36% size:73% LISTENING SESSIONS ALL ACROSS line:85% position:50% size:80% SOUTHEASTERN KENTUCKY ABOUT WHAT line:85% position:40% size:75% DO WE DO WHEN COAL DISAPPEARS.
line:85% position:50% size:80% SO COAL HAD REALLY ALREADY TAKEN line:85% position:40% size:75% A HIT AND I WENT TO A PLACE, I line:85% position:44% size:78% WON'T SAY THE COUNTY, WHERE ALL line:85% position:50% size:80% THE ADULTS WERE JUST LIKE, WE'LL line:85% position:40% size:75% JUST WAIT FOR IT TO COME BACK.
line:85% position:50% size:80% AND I WAS JUST LIKE, I DROVE OUT line:85% position:44% size:78% OF THERE AND I'M LIKE, I CANNOT line:85% position:36% size:73% DO THIS ANYMORE WHEN WE CAN'T line:85% position:15% size:35% HAVE A VISION.
line:85% position:25% size:60% WE CAN'T THINK ABOUT THE line:85% position:13% size:25% POTENTIAL.
line:85% position:40% size:75% AND I REMEMBER I DROVE OUT AND line:85% position:50% size:80% MY OTHER COLLEAGUE HAD JUST BEEN line:85% position:36% size:73% LEADING A SESSION WITH YOUTH.
line:85% position:40% size:75% AND SHE CALLED ME AND SHE SAID line:85% position:40% size:75% THIS WAS THE MOST AMAZING TIME line:85% position:15% size:35% I'VE EVER HAD.
line:85% position:50% size:80% SHE SAID THE KINDS OF IDEAS THAT line:85% position:33% size:70% WERE SPEW TBRG THEIR MOUTHS, line:85% position:36% size:73% SOME WERE TOTALLY UNREALISTIC line:85% position:50% size:80% BUT THE THINGS THEY WERE TALKING line:85% position:22% size:55% ABOUT WERE THE FUTURE.
line:85% position:44% size:78% AND SO SHE NEVER GOT TO DO THAT line:85% position:12% size:15% AGAIN.
line:85% position:31% size:68% AND I ALWAYS TOOK THE YOUTH line:85% position:25% size:60% SESSIONS FROM THAT POINT line:85% position:13% size:20% FORWARD.
line:85% position:27% size:63% THE YOUTH ARE THE FUTURE.
line:85% position:17% size:40% I'LL STOP THERE.
line:85% position:14% size:30% [ APPLAUSE ] line:85% position:36% size:73% >> ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IS line:85% position:14% size:28% NOT COMING.
line:85% position:13% size:25% IT'S HERE.
line:85% position:33% size:70% THERE WILL BE THINGS THAT IT line:85% position:44% size:78% DISPLACES AND THERE WILL BE NEW line:85% position:21% size:53% JOBS THAT IT CREATES.
line:85% position:33% size:70% >> IN THE HISTORY OF NEW AND line:85% position:40% size:75% EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES, WE USE, line:85% position:36% size:73% OFTEN WE USE STORY TELLING TO line:85% position:40% size:75% THINK THROUGH BOTH THE UTOPIAN line:85% position:40% size:75% AND DYSTOPIAN POSSIBILITIES OF line:85% position:24% size:58% THOSE NEW TECHNOLOGIES.
line:85% position:44% size:78% HOW CAN THEY TAKE ON UNINTENDED line:85% position:15% size:33% CONSEQUENCES.
line:85% position:40% size:75% HOW CAN TECHNOLOGY TURN ON US.
line:85% position:33% size:70% >> WHAT CAN WE DO TO PROTECT line:85% position:13% size:25% OURSELVES?
line:85% position:24% size:58% >> WE REALLY NEED TO BE line:85% position:25% size:60% INTENTIONAL ABOUT HOW WE line:85% position:27% size:63% IMPLEMENT TECHNOLOGY, THE line:85% position:40% size:75% UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES OF THE line:85% position:20% size:50% INTEGRATION OF THESE line:85% position:15% size:33% TECHNOLOGIES.
line:85% position:50% size:80% AND ALSO THE POTENTIAL GOOD THAT line:85% position:14% size:30% THEY CAN DO.
line:85% position:14% size:30% [ APPLAUSE ] line:85% position:50% size:80% >> SO I THINK THE WAY WE WANT TO line:85% position:50% size:80% KICK THIS NEXT PART OFF IS IN MY line:85% position:40% size:75% ROLE, I LEAD THE CERTIFICATION line:85% position:25% size:60% FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT line:85% position:44% size:78% PROFESSIONALS ACROSS THE STATE, line:85% position:50% size:80% AND SO WE HAVE FOLKS WHO ARE NEW line:85% position:40% size:75% TO THE POSITION AND WE KIND OF line:85% position:44% size:78% GUIDE THEM THROUGH WHAT DOES IT line:85% position:22% size:55% MEAN TO BE AN ECONOMIC line:85% position:27% size:63% DEVELOPMENT PROFESSIONAL.
line:85% position:44% size:78% AND THE STATE OF KENTUCKY, IT'S line:85% position:17% size:43% VERY CHALLENGING.
line:85% position:29% size:65% WE HAVE A CULTURE OF SHOOT line:85% position:50% size:80% ANYTHING THAT FLIES, LET'S BRING line:85% position:13% size:25% JOBS HERE.
line:85% position:50% size:80% I DO A LOT OF STRATEGIC PLANNING line:85% position:29% size:65% WITH COMMUNITIES AND AS AN line:85% position:44% size:78% ACADEMIC, WE DO LOVE TO DO WORD line:85% position:36% size:73% CLOUDS, AND SO WE DID SURVEYS line:85% position:33% size:70% AND WE SAY WHAT DO YOU NEED?
line:85% position:21% size:53% WHAT DO YOU HOPE FOR?
line:85% position:44% size:78% AND I DID A WORD CLOUD ONE TIME line:85% position:50% size:80% OF 1200 SURVEY RESPONSES AND THE line:85% position:40% size:75% BIGGEST WORD, THE ONE THAT WAS line:85% position:50% size:80% REPEATED OVER AND OVER AGAIN WAS line:85% position:12% size:15% BRING.
line:85% position:31% size:68% AND THAT JUST STUCK WITH ME line:85% position:44% size:78% BECAUSE THAT MEANS IT'S SOMEONE line:85% position:44% size:78% ELSE'S RESPONSIBILITY TO CREATE line:85% position:12% size:18% GROWTH.
line:85% position:40% size:75% AND I DON'T THINK YOU CAN EVER line:85% position:40% size:75% LAY THAT ON ANYBODY TO SAY YOU line:85% position:16% size:38% DO THIS FOR ME.
line:85% position:31% size:68% THAT'S THE ONLY WAY TO MOVE line:85% position:13% size:20% FORWARD.
line:85% position:33% size:70% AND SO MY GOAL, LEADING THIS line:85% position:40% size:75% EDUCATION PROGRAM FOR ECONOMIC line:85% position:36% size:73% DEVELOPMENT PROFESSIONALS AND line:85% position:27% size:63% THE WORK THAT I DO ACROSS line:85% position:50% size:80% COMMUNITIES, IS TRYING TO CHANGE line:85% position:33% size:70% THAT NARRATIVE FROM BRING TO line:85% position:12% size:18% CREATE.
line:85% position:24% size:58% NOT THAT BRINGING ISN'T line:85% position:13% size:25% IMPORTANT.
line:85% position:27% size:63% LOGAN ALUMINUM IS A GREAT line:85% position:13% size:20% EXAMPLE.
line:85% position:50% size:80% TOYOTA, YOU KNOW, KENTUCKY WOULD line:85% position:31% size:68% LOOK VERY DIFFERENT WITHOUT line:85% position:12% size:18% TOYOTA.
line:85% position:33% size:70% BUT IT'S GOT TO BE A HYBRID.
line:85% position:36% size:73% IT'S GOT TO BE A PORTFOLIO OF line:85% position:14% size:28% STRATEGIES.
line:85% position:33% size:70% AND OUR STATE HAS NOT REALLY line:85% position:29% size:65% EMBRACED BEYOND THE BRING.
line:85% position:24% size:58% WE HAVE A LOT OF RIBBON line:85% position:13% size:23% CUTTINGS.
line:85% position:50% size:80% WE HAVE GREAT INCENTIVE PACKAGES line:85% position:31% size:68% TO GO OUT TO, YOU KNOW, BIG line:85% position:33% size:70% INDUSTRY AND SAY YOU COME TO line:85% position:50% size:80% KENTUCKY AND THEN WE'LL GIVE YOU line:85% position:22% size:55% SOME GREAT INCENTIVES.
line:85% position:29% size:65% AND WE IGNORE THE EXISTING line:85% position:33% size:70% INDUSTRIES AND WE IGNORE THE line:85% position:24% size:58% ASSETS AND THE CREATIVE line:85% position:31% size:68% CAPABILITIES OF OUR PEOPLE.
line:85% position:44% size:78% AND IF WE COULD JUST SHIFT SOME line:85% position:50% size:80% OF THAT INVESTMENT, SOME OF THAT line:85% position:19% size:48% CAPACITY TOWARD THE line:85% position:31% size:68% ENTREPRENEURSHIP ECOSYSTEM, line:85% position:27% size:63% IMAGINE WHAT WE COULD DO.
line:85% position:44% size:78% AND SO THAT HAS BEEN KIND OF MY line:85% position:36% size:73% LIFE LONG GOAL IS TO SHIFT IT line:85% position:27% size:63% FROM A BRING TO A CREATE.
line:85% position:36% size:73% AND SO A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, line:85% position:40% size:75% ALMOST THREE YEARS NOW, WE HAD line:85% position:50% size:80% THE OPPORTUNITY, SAM, WHO IS, OF line:85% position:27% size:63% COURSE, THE CENTER OF THE line:85% position:29% size:65% UNIVERSE I'VE NOW LEARNED, line:85% position:31% size:68% BROUGHT US THIS M.I.T.
REAP line:85% position:36% size:73% OPPORTUNITY AND IT HAD A VERY line:85% position:50% size:80% QUICK TURN AROUND OF ABOUT THREE line:85% position:33% size:70% OR FOUR WEEKS TO TRY TO PULL line:85% position:29% size:65% TOGETHER AN APPLICATION TO line:85% position:14% size:30% PARTICIPATE.
line:85% position:40% size:75% AND WE WOULD BE THE VERY FIRST line:85% position:29% size:65% U.S. GROUP TO PARTICIPATE.
line:85% position:31% size:68% I DON'T KNOW IF HE SAID IT.
line:85% position:27% size:63% REGIONAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP line:85% position:29% size:65% ACCELERATION PROGRAM REAP.
line:85% position:44% size:78% IT IS LED BY M.I.T.
FACULTY AND line:85% position:29% size:65% IT IS A GLOBAL INITIATIVE.
line:85% position:40% size:75% SO WHEN WE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY line:85% position:44% size:78% TO APPLY, WE WOULD HAVE BEEN IN line:85% position:17% size:43% THE SIXTH COHORT.
line:85% position:40% size:75% AND SO WE'VE GONE THROUGH FIVE line:85% position:40% size:75% ITERATIONS AND NO ONE FROM THE line:85% position:40% size:75% UNITED STATES HAS PARTICIPATED line:85% position:11% size:10% YET.
line:85% position:31% size:68% SO WE THOUGHT CERTAINLY THE line:85% position:50% size:80% STATE OF KENTUCKY CAN NEWSMAKERS line:85% position:16% size:38% A PLAY AT THIS.
line:85% position:50% size:80% SO MY GOOD COLLEAGUE LUKE PULLED line:85% position:50% size:80% TOGETHER LOTS OF PARTNERS AND WE line:85% position:50% size:80% HAD THE STATE OF KENTUCKY AS OUR line:85% position:12% size:18% REGION.
line:85% position:50% size:80% AND I HAVE SPENT A LOT OF TIME-- line:85% position:31% size:68% I OFTEN LEAD THE KICKOFF OF line:85% position:36% size:73% LEADERSHIP KENTUCKY-- I DON'T line:85% position:50% size:80% KNOW IF ANYBODY HAS PARTICIPATED line:85% position:29% size:65% IN THE LEADERSHIP KENTUCKY line:85% position:13% size:20% PROGRAM.
line:85% position:36% size:73% I LEAD THE KICKOFF ABOUT WHAT line:85% position:40% size:75% DOES OUR ECONOMY LOOK LIKE AND line:85% position:33% size:70% WE ARE NOT A UNIFORM ECONOMY line:85% position:17% size:43% ACROSS THE STATE.
line:85% position:31% size:68% AND SO IT IS VERY TRICKY TO line:85% position:36% size:73% THINK ABOUT HOW DO YOU CREATE line:85% position:36% size:73% POLICY, PROGRAMS, CAPITAL, TO line:85% position:31% size:68% MEET THE NEEDS OF A VARYING line:85% position:12% size:18% REGION?
line:85% position:36% size:73% I MEAN FROM NORTHERN KENTUCKY line:85% position:24% size:58% WHICH IS DIFFERENT FROM line:85% position:33% size:70% SLEWVILLE TO LEXINGTON, FROM line:85% position:50% size:80% PIKEVILLE OUT TO THE MISSISSIPPI line:85% position:44% size:78% RIVER, IT'S NOT A ONE SIZE FITS line:85% position:11% size:10% ALL.
line:85% position:36% size:73% SO WE REALLY SET OURSELVES UP line:85% position:22% size:55% FOR A VERY CHALLENGING line:85% position:14% size:28% EXPEDITION.
line:85% position:50% size:80% SO AS PART OF THIS REAP PROGRAM, line:85% position:25% size:60% YOU ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE line:85% position:29% size:65% PARTICIPATION IN FROM FIVE line:85% position:13% size:20% SECTORS.
line:85% position:31% size:68% SO THE UNIVERSITY, WHICH IS line:85% position:20% size:50% ALWAYS EASY TO FIND.
line:85% position:50% size:80% WE HAVE OUR GREAT CENTER COLLEGE line:85% position:33% size:70% FRIENDS HERE WHO ARE PART OF line:85% position:11% size:13% THAT.
line:85% position:18% size:45% U.K. WAS ON BOARD.
line:85% position:33% size:70% THIS IS ALWAYS SOMETHING FUN line:85% position:27% size:63% THAT UNIVERSITIES LIKE TO line:85% position:16% size:38% PARTICIPATE IN.
line:85% position:29% size:65% SO THAT WAS TAKEN CARE OF.
line:85% position:27% size:63% SO THEN WE NEEDED TO HAVE line:85% position:15% size:33% CORPORATIONS.
line:85% position:29% size:65% SO WE WANTED TO BE OUT, WE line:85% position:31% size:68% WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE line:85% position:40% size:75% REPRESENTATION FROM ACROSS THE line:85% position:12% size:15% STATE.
line:85% position:40% size:75% WE WERE FORTUNATE TO FIND V.J.
line:85% position:40% size:75% AT LOGAN ALUMINUM REPRESENTING line:85% position:44% size:78% THE ENTIRE ALUMINUM INDUSTRY IN line:85% position:17% size:43% WESTERN KENTUCKY.
line:85% position:36% size:73% WE NEEDED TO HAVE GOVERNMENT, line:85% position:50% size:80% WHICH WE'LL TALK ABOUT-- YOU ARE line:85% position:40% size:75% GOING TO TALK ABOUT GOVERNMENT line:85% position:12% size:15% LATER?
line:85% position:22% size:55% I'M NOT GOING TO-- THE line:85% position:40% size:75% NON-UNIVERSITY PERSON IS GOING line:85% position:27% size:63% TO TALK ABOUT GOVERNMENT.
line:85% position:40% size:75% BUT WE NEED TO HAVE GOVERNMENT line:85% position:16% size:38% REPRESENTATION.
line:85% position:31% size:68% AND WE WERE AT A TIME OF IN line:85% position:18% size:45% BETWEEN GOVERNORS.
line:85% position:50% size:80% AND SO THAT MADE IT VERY TRICKY; line:85% position:29% size:65% THIS POSITION THAT WAS THE line:85% position:31% size:68% DIRECTOR OF ENTREPRENEURIAL line:85% position:25% size:60% DEVELOPMENT OR OFFICE OF line:85% position:44% size:78% ENTREPRENEURSHIP AT THE CABINET line:85% position:27% size:63% WAS VACANT AT THE TIME WE line:85% position:31% size:68% STARTED TALKING ABOUT THIS.
line:85% position:22% size:55% SO WE NEEDED TO HAVE A line:85% position:36% size:73% GOVERNMENT REPRESENTATIVE AND line:85% position:19% size:48% THEN WE HAD TO HAVE line:85% position:36% size:73% ENTREPRENEURS WHO NOW HAVE TO line:85% position:19% size:48% PAY TO PARTICIPATE.
line:85% position:33% size:70% THIS WAS NOT A FREE PROGRAM.
line:85% position:22% size:55% WE HAD TO PAY TUITION.
line:85% position:50% size:80% SO WE HAD TO HAVE A ENTREPRENEUR line:85% position:24% size:58% WHOSE TIME IS EXTREMELY line:85% position:13% size:23% VALUABLE.
line:85% position:40% size:75% THEY HAD TO PARTICIPATE IN THE line:85% position:33% size:70% PROGRAM AND WE HAD TO HAVE A line:85% position:31% size:68% CORPORATE REPRESENTATIVE AS line:85% position:11% size:13% WELL.
line:85% position:15% size:33% RISK CAPITAL.
line:85% position:33% size:70% WE HAD TO HAVE RISK CAPITAL.
line:85% position:50% size:80% THIS IS ALSO SOMEONE WHO IS VERY line:85% position:31% size:68% MUCH PRIVATE SECTOR TIME IS line:85% position:50% size:80% MONEY, WE ARE TRYING TO FIND THE line:85% position:33% size:70% VERY BEST BANG FOR OUR BUCK.
line:85% position:36% size:73% SO IT WAS REALLY CHALLENGING, line:85% position:36% size:73% PARTICULARLY IN THE TIMEFRAME line:85% position:44% size:78% THAT WE HAD TRYING TO COVER THE line:85% position:44% size:78% GEOGRAPHY THAT WE HAD TO COVER.
line:85% position:31% size:68% SO WE WERE SUPER FORTUNATE, line:85% position:44% size:78% CERTAINLY FACED SOME CHALLENGES line:85% position:50% size:80% ALONG THE WAY, WITH FOLKS COMING line:85% position:18% size:45% IN AND COMING OUT.
line:85% position:50% size:80% BUT THE CORE TEAM HAS, YOU KNOW, line:85% position:29% size:65% REALLY WAS INVESTED IN THE line:85% position:13% size:20% PROCESS.
line:85% position:29% size:65% WE WENT UP TO M.I.T.
THREE line:85% position:36% size:73% TIMES, TWO TIMES, ONE TIME WE line:85% position:36% size:73% HAD TO MISS BECAUSE OF COVID.
line:85% position:25% size:60% WE SPENT A WEEK IN LEEDS line:85% position:13% size:20% ENGLAND.
line:85% position:25% size:60% BUT IT WAS JUST AMAZING.
line:85% position:36% size:73% OUR OTHER FOLKS IN OUR COHORT line:85% position:44% size:78% WERE FROM DENMARK, FROM NORWAY, line:85% position:44% size:78% FROM MONTEREY, MEXICO, ECUADOR, line:85% position:17% size:43% ITALY, AUSTRALIA.
line:85% position:44% size:78% I HAVE THE LIST HERE AND CHINA.
line:85% position:25% size:60% BUT IN EACH ONE OF THESE line:85% position:33% size:70% INSTANCES, FOLKS WERE COMING line:85% position:19% size:48% FROM A SINGLE CITY.
line:85% position:36% size:73% SO-- AND A LOT OF TIMES THESE line:85% position:33% size:70% PARTNERSHIPS THAT, WHEN THEY line:85% position:44% size:78% STARTED THIS, THEY WERE ALREADY line:85% position:25% size:60% -- THEY HAD ALREADY BEEN line:85% position:17% size:43% WORKING TOGETHER.
line:85% position:36% size:73% THEY ALREADY HAD INITIATIVES, line:85% position:27% size:63% THEY ALREADY HAD MONEY IN line:85% position:36% size:73% TOGETHER TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT line:85% position:31% size:68% HOW TO MOVE A CITY FORWARD.
line:85% position:50% size:80% WE ARE TRYING TO MOVE A COMPLETE line:85% position:44% size:78% COMMONWEALTH FORWARD WITH RURAL line:85% position:13% size:25% AND URBAN.
line:85% position:36% size:73% WHERE THIS CONVERSATION QUITE line:85% position:40% size:75% FRANKLY HAD NEVER OCCURRED AND line:85% position:50% size:80% WHEN IT DOES START, YOU KNOW, WE line:85% position:50% size:80% HAVE A NEW ADMINISTRATION CHANGE line:85% position:15% size:33% AND IT STOPS.
line:85% position:36% size:73% AND SO IT WAS NOT WITHOUT ITS line:85% position:13% size:25% OBSTACLES.
line:85% position:33% size:70% SO I AM NOW GOING TO GIVE IT line:85% position:36% size:73% OVER TO RUSTY WHO IS GOING TO line:85% position:17% size:40% TALK ABOUT THIS.
line:85% position:31% size:68% >> YEAH, SO BEING A PRIVATE line:85% position:44% size:78% SECTOR GUY, I REALLY DON'T HAVE line:85% position:25% size:60% A CLUE HOW AGENCY WORKS.
line:85% position:50% size:80% I HAVE VERY LITTLE PATIENCE WITH line:85% position:50% size:80% ANY BUREAUCRACY, AND IT HAS BEEN line:85% position:36% size:73% A LEARNING EXPERIENCE FOR ME.
line:85% position:33% size:70% AND ONE OF THE VALUES OF THE line:85% position:31% size:68% REAP WAS, YOU HAVE THE FIVE line:85% position:31% size:68% STAKEHOLDER MODEL WHICH SHE line:85% position:21% size:53% JUSTY WILL BE RATED-- line:85% position:27% size:63% ELABORATED, ENTREPRENEUR, line:85% position:31% size:68% VENTURE CAPITAL, CORPORATE, line:85% position:25% size:60% GOVERNMENT AND ACADEMIA.
line:85% position:50% size:80% ONE OF THE THINGS M.I.T.
DID FOR line:85% position:40% size:75% US AND HELPED ME PERSONALLY TO line:85% position:50% size:80% GROW AND BECOME MORE TOLERANT OF line:85% position:17% size:43% PEOPLE UNLIKE ME.
line:85% position:13% size:25% [LAUGHTER] line:85% position:40% size:75% THEY WOULD TAKE THE GROUPS AND line:85% position:29% size:65% SEPARATE US BY STAKEHOLDER line:85% position:12% size:15% GROUP.
line:85% position:36% size:73% THE SMALLEST GROUP WAS ALWAYS line:85% position:29% size:65% THE VENTURE CAPITAL GROUP.
line:85% position:36% size:73% THE SECOND SMALLEST GROUP WAS line:85% position:40% size:75% ALWAYS ENTREPRENEUR, GENERALLY line:85% position:36% size:73% ONE ENTREPRENEUR, USUALLY ALL line:85% position:44% size:78% THE BCS DIDN'T MAKE IT FROM ALL line:85% position:13% size:25% THE TEAMS.
line:85% position:27% size:63% THE LARGEST GROUP WAS THE line:85% position:13% size:25% ACADEMICS.
line:85% position:33% size:70% SECOND LARGEST GROUP WAS THE line:85% position:14% size:28% GOVERNMENT.
line:85% position:40% size:75% SO OUR TABLE, WE COULD ALL SIT line:85% position:44% size:78% AT ONE TABLE AND THERE WOULD BE line:85% position:33% size:70% FOUR TABLES OF ACADEMICS AND line:85% position:27% size:63% THEY WOULD SEPARATE US BY line:85% position:31% size:68% STAKEHOLDER GROUPS AND THEY line:85% position:44% size:78% WOULD ASK US QUESTIONS AND GIVE line:85% position:40% size:75% US TIMELINES AND PLAY JEOPARDY line:85% position:27% size:63% MUSIC AND WHILE WE HAD TO line:85% position:40% size:75% RESPOND WITH PEOPLE YOU DIDN'T line:85% position:44% size:78% KNOW WHO REALLY SOMETIMES, THEY line:85% position:33% size:70% DIDN'T SPEAK HILLBILLILY FOR line:85% position:31% size:68% SURE AND I CERTAINLY DIDN'T line:85% position:33% size:70% SPEAK SOME OF THEIR DIALECTS line:85% position:13% size:25% VERY WELL.
line:85% position:36% size:73% WE ALL SPOKE ENGLISH BUT SOME line:85% position:14% size:28% FORM OF IT.
line:85% position:18% size:45% SO ANYWAY, BUT THE line:85% position:44% size:78% ENTREPRENEURS, WE FOUND WE WERE line:85% position:13% size:25% ALL ALIKE.
line:85% position:31% size:68% WE THOUGHT THE SAME WAY, WE line:85% position:19% size:48% ACTED THE SAME WAY.
line:85% position:27% size:63% AND WE FELT THE SAME WAY.
line:85% position:24% size:58% WE WERE ALL FRUSTRATED.
line:85% position:36% size:73% I WASN'T JUST THAT ONE PERSON line:85% position:19% size:48% THAT FELT THAT WAY.
line:85% position:44% size:78% MY BROTHER USED TO SAY WHEN YOU line:85% position:50% size:80% ARE A HAMMER, EVERYTHING ELSE IS line:85% position:12% size:18% A NAIL.
line:85% position:36% size:73% WE ARE ALL JUST HAMMERING OUR line:85% position:11% size:13% NAIL.
line:85% position:44% size:78% IT HELPED ME TO UNDERSTAND THAT line:85% position:31% size:68% EVERYONE REALLY HAS NO EVIL line:85% position:44% size:78% INTENTION TOWARD ME OR MY GOALS line:85% position:17% size:40% AND ASPIRATIONS.
line:85% position:40% size:75% THEY'RE JUST DOING THEIR THING line:85% position:44% size:78% AND THEY'RE TRYING TO DO IT THE line:85% position:22% size:55% BEST THEY CAN WITH THE line:85% position:22% size:55% INFORMATION THEY HAVE.
line:85% position:40% size:75% AND SO TO UNDERSTAND THE VALUE line:85% position:36% size:73% OF STAKEHOLDER GROUPS AND THE line:85% position:36% size:73% INTERACTIONS AND WHAT THEY'RE line:85% position:31% size:68% TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH REALLY line:85% position:33% size:70% HELPED ME TO QUIT MAKING THE line:85% position:36% size:73% OTHER, MAKING THEM THE OTHER.
line:85% position:25% size:60% AND START SEEING THEM AS line:85% position:15% size:33% STAKEHOLDERS.
line:85% position:50% size:80% SO THAT WAS A PARADIGM SHIFT AND line:85% position:22% size:55% PERSONAL GROWTH THAT I line:85% position:33% size:70% EXPERIENCED IN THIS PROCESS.
line:85% position:36% size:73% AND I THE YOU WILY LEARNED TO line:85% position:33% size:70% LIKE-- I ACTUALLY LEARNED TO line:85% position:44% size:78% LIKE SOME OF THEM WHEN I GOT TO line:85% position:13% size:25% KNOW THEM.
line:85% position:13% size:25% [LAUGHTER] line:85% position:31% size:68% AND SO ANYWAY, A FEW OF THE line:85% position:40% size:75% THINGS THEY TAUGHT US ABOUT IN line:85% position:40% size:75% THERE BESIDE STAKEHOLDER GROUP line:85% position:50% size:80% MODEL BUT COMPARATIVE ADVANTAGE.
line:85% position:40% size:75% WHAT DO YOU DO THAT YOU CAN DO line:85% position:31% size:68% BETTER THAN EVERYONE HELLS?
line:85% position:25% size:60% IF YOUR IDEA IS TO BUILD line:85% position:40% size:75% SOMETHING AND THEY CAN MAKE IT line:85% position:40% size:75% IN MALAYSIA, WHY ARE YOU DOING line:85% position:11% size:13% THAT?
line:85% position:31% size:68% WHAT CAN YOU DO BETTER THAN line:85% position:12% size:18% OTHERS?
line:85% position:50% size:80% WHAT DO WE HAVE IN KENTUCKY THAT line:85% position:25% size:60% WE DON'T HAVE ELSEWHERE?
line:85% position:44% size:78% WE HAVE CERTAIN THINGS THAT ARE line:85% position:18% size:45% REALLY INVALUABLE.
line:85% position:40% size:75% A LOT OF THEM WE RECOGNIZE AND line:85% position:22% size:55% SOME OF THEM WE DON'T.
line:85% position:40% size:75% THOSE FROM HERE THAT HAVE LEFT line:85% position:27% size:63% THAT ARE STILL CONNECTED.
line:85% position:33% size:70% WHO DO WE ALL KNOW THAT LIVE line:85% position:33% size:70% OUTSIDE OUR STATE THAT STILL line:85% position:19% size:48% LOVE THE BLUEGRASS.
line:85% position:50% size:80% AND WHAT TALENTS HAVE THEY TAKEN line:85% position:29% size:65% AWAY FROM US THAT WE COULD line:85% position:25% size:60% LEVERAGE AND BRING BACK.
line:85% position:50% size:80% SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE line:85% position:50% size:80% REALLY FOCUSED ON, ESPECIALLY AT line:85% position:14% size:28% BIT SOURCE.
line:85% position:27% size:63% WE HAVE, YOU KNOW, REALLY line:85% position:36% size:73% FOCUSED ON AND OUR GROWTH AND line:85% position:31% size:68% BUILT A TECH COMPANY IN THE line:85% position:21% size:53% CENTER OF APPALACHIA.
line:85% position:36% size:73% HOW DO WE LEVERAGE THE PEOPLE line:85% position:36% size:73% THAT WERE FROM HERE AND LEFT.
line:85% position:33% size:70% JUSTIN HALL IS HERE TONIGHT.
line:85% position:36% size:73% JUSTIN CAME, HELPED START BIT line:85% position:44% size:78% SOURCE, TRAINED OUR COAL MINERS line:85% position:40% size:75% HOW TO CODE AND WE DIDN'T KNOW line:85% position:33% size:70% IT AGAIN, ANOTHER $5 WORD WE line:85% position:40% size:75% DIDN'T KNOW HE WAS DIASPORA AT line:85% position:36% size:73% THE TIME BUT WE LEVERAGED THE line:85% position:40% size:75% DIASPORA AND WE HAVE DONE THAT line:85% position:29% size:65% NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE THEN.
line:85% position:40% size:75% AND THEN WHAT IS AN INNOVATION line:85% position:18% size:45% DRIVEN ENTERPRISE?
line:85% position:33% size:70% OPPOSED TO A SMALL TO MEDIUM line:85% position:14% size:28% ENTERPRISE?
line:85% position:40% size:75% MOST OF THE BUSINESSES THAT WE line:85% position:44% size:78% OWN, MY PARTNER AND I ARE SMALL line:85% position:22% size:55% TO MEDIUM ENTERPRISES.
line:85% position:44% size:78% SMALL TO MEDIUM ENTERPRISES ARE line:85% position:40% size:75% DEFINED AS A GROATD CURVE THAT line:85% position:44% size:78% HOPEFULLY LINEAR HOPEFULLY WITH line:85% position:50% size:80% AN INCLINE BUT IT'S STANDARD AND line:85% position:12% size:18% STEADY.
line:85% position:36% size:73% INNOVATION DRIVEN ENTERPRISES line:85% position:18% size:45% ARE HOCKEY STICKS.
line:85% position:36% size:73% SOMETIMES THEY LOSE MONEY AND line:85% position:50% size:80% THEN THEY GO UP BUT THEY HAVE AN line:85% position:31% size:68% EXPONENTIAL GROWTH AND THEY line:85% position:24% size:58% CREATE WEALTH AND JOBS.
line:85% position:25% size:60% AND AN INNOVATION DRIVEN line:85% position:44% size:78% ENTERPRISE IS SIMPLY DEFINED AS line:85% position:25% size:60% A BUSINESS NAT LEVERAGES line:85% position:36% size:73% TECHNOLOGY TO ACCESS EXTERNAL line:85% position:13% size:20% MARKETS.
line:85% position:36% size:73% WHEN YOU LIVE IN RURAL AREAS, line:85% position:40% size:75% THERE IS NOT ENOUGH POPULATION line:85% position:33% size:70% DENSITY TO HAVE FOOD TRUCKS.
line:85% position:24% size:58% THE THINGS THAT WE TAKE line:85% position:33% size:70% ADVANTAGE OF AND WE TAKE FOR line:85% position:33% size:70% GRANTED IN THREE DIMENSIONAL line:85% position:33% size:70% COMMUNITIES, TWO DIMENSIONAL line:85% position:40% size:75% COMMUNITIES AND THEN WHERE I'M line:85% position:21% size:53% FROM, ONE DIMENSIONAL line:85% position:50% size:80% COMMUNITIES, OUR COMMUNITIES ARE line:85% position:27% size:63% LINEAR BECAUSE WE LIVE IN line:85% position:31% size:68% HOLLERS AND FARMLAND IS TWO line:85% position:14% size:30% DIMENSIONAL.
line:85% position:27% size:63% LOUISVILLE YOU HAVE THREE line:85% position:27% size:63% DIMENSIONS, YOU HAVE TALL line:85% position:13% size:25% BUILDINGS.
line:85% position:33% size:70% SO THE DYNAMICS THAT WE TAKE line:85% position:17% size:40% PLACE ARE THERE.
line:85% position:21% size:53% BUT INNOVATION DRIVEN line:85% position:40% size:75% ENTERPRISES CAN WORK ANYWHERE.
line:85% position:40% size:75% SO WE JUST WORK WITH A COMPANY line:85% position:44% size:78% AT BIT SOURCE RECENTLY, WHERE A line:85% position:25% size:60% YOUNG LADY HAS STARTED A line:85% position:13% size:23% BUSINESS.
line:85% position:40% size:75% SHE HAS-- SHE IS MANUFACTURING line:85% position:44% size:78% OVER A THOUSAND PRODUCTS FROM A line:85% position:50% size:80% HOLLER IN PLAT COUNTY, KENTUCKY.
line:85% position:44% size:78% AND MARKETING THEM TO THE WORLD line:85% position:29% size:65% AND DOING VERY WELL AT IT.
line:85% position:29% size:65% AND SO THAT'S-- THERE IS A line:85% position:40% size:75% BUSINESS WE NEED TO GET BEHIND line:85% position:16% size:38% AND BE GROWING.
line:85% position:50% size:80% THEN WE LEARN TO THINK ABOUT OUR line:85% position:24% size:58% BUSINESSES DIFFERENTLY.
line:85% position:20% size:50% ALLISON TALKED ABOUT line:85% position:14% size:30% RECRUITMENT.
line:85% position:31% size:68% GOVERNMENT WANTS TO RECRUIT line:85% position:13% size:25% ELEPHANTS.
line:85% position:40% size:75% WE NOW THINK ABOUT BUSINESSES, line:85% position:36% size:73% ELEPHANTS, GAZELLES, MICE AND line:85% position:13% size:23% UNICORNS.
line:85% position:50% size:80% SO GOVERNMENT WANTS TO RECRUIT A line:85% position:50% size:80% BUSINESS, CUT A RIBBON, ANNOUNCE line:85% position:40% size:75% 800 JOBS AND PAT THEMSELVES ON line:85% position:13% size:23% THE BACK.
line:85% position:25% size:60% YOU HAVE INCENTIVES, TAX line:85% position:31% size:68% INCENTIVES FOR PEOPLE TO DO line:85% position:11% size:13% THAT.
line:85% position:22% size:55% ACADEMICS WANT TO HAVE line:85% position:36% size:73% HACKATHONS AND STARTER CAMPS.
line:85% position:20% size:50% NONE OF THIS IS BAD.
line:85% position:29% size:65% IT'S JUST ONE DIMENSIONAL.
line:85% position:29% size:65% WE HAVE TO THINK ABOUT OUR line:85% position:36% size:73% SOLUTION IN A MULTIDIMENSION, line:85% position:15% size:33% HOLISTICALLY.
line:85% position:36% size:73% AND SO IN HACK-ATHONS WE HAVE line:85% position:40% size:75% START-UPS, WE ANNOUNCE WE HAVE line:85% position:33% size:70% LAUNCHED 10 BUSINESSES, GAVE line:85% position:50% size:80% THEM EACH $10,000 AND WE'VE DONE line:85% position:13% size:20% OUR JOB.
line:85% position:50% size:80% BUT IF WE PLANT THOSE BUSINESSES line:85% position:33% size:70% IN POOR SOIL, THEY JUST DIE.
line:85% position:29% size:65% AND THEY'RE NOT GENERATING line:85% position:12% size:18% WEALTH.
line:85% position:36% size:73% GAZELLES, ONGOING BUSINESSES.
line:85% position:17% size:40% WE OWN GAZELLES.
line:85% position:25% size:60% HOW DO WE GROW GAZELLES?
line:85% position:44% size:78% THAT'S NOT BEING THOUGHT ABOUT.
line:85% position:20% size:50% THAT'S ACCELERATION.
line:85% position:44% size:78% VENTURE CAPITALISTS ARE LOOKING line:85% position:15% size:33% FOR UNICORNS.
line:85% position:31% size:68% THEY ONLY WANT TO INVEST IN line:85% position:40% size:75% THESE START-UPS IF WE HAVE 100 line:85% position:44% size:78% START-UPS THEY MAY SEE ONE THAT line:85% position:33% size:70% HAS 10 X GROWTH POTENTIAL OR line:85% position:40% size:75% WHATEVER THEIR MULTIPLE IS FOR line:85% position:17% size:43% THEIR INVESTMENT.
line:85% position:50% size:80% SO THEY'RE NOT EVEN WATERING THE line:85% position:40% size:75% OTHER START-UPS WHICH MAY HAVE line:85% position:40% size:75% PERFECTLY GOOD BUSINESS PLANS, line:85% position:33% size:70% THEY JUST CAN'T GET ADEQUATE line:85% position:17% size:40% VENTURE CAPITAL.
line:85% position:19% size:48% SO WE NEED TO FOCUS line:85% position:15% size:33% HOLISTICALLY.
line:85% position:44% size:78% WE THEY'D TO RECRUIT ELEPHANTS.
line:85% position:29% size:65% WE NEED TO HAVE START-UPS.
line:85% position:21% size:53% WE NEED THOSE THINGS.
line:85% position:44% size:78% BUT WE ALSO NEED TO BE THINKING line:85% position:36% size:73% ABOUT HOW DO WE GROW EXISTING line:85% position:40% size:75% AND HOW DO WE TEND TO THE ONES line:85% position:33% size:70% THAT HAVE JUST BEEN PLANTED.
line:85% position:50% size:80% AND THAT IS-- AND THEN, IDENTIFY line:85% position:50% size:80% THE UNICORNS AND THROW THE MONEY line:85% position:13% size:20% AT THEM.
line:85% position:27% size:63% WE NEED ALL THOSE THINGS.
line:85% position:31% size:68% SO IT'S THINKING ABOUT THAT line:85% position:33% size:70% HOLISTICALLY IS WHAT WE HAVE line:85% position:13% size:20% LEARNED.
line:85% position:40% size:75% THAT, I THINK, IS THE VALUE OF line:85% position:27% size:63% THE REAP AND WHAT WE HAVE line:85% position:31% size:68% LEARNED AND WHAT ACCELERATE line:85% position:24% size:58% KENTUCKY IS FOCUSED ON.
line:85% position:50% size:80% >> I HAVE BEEN VERY FORTUNATE TO line:85% position:31% size:68% BE IN THE REAP PROGRAM FROM line:85% position:50% size:80% BEGINNING AND WHAT I LEARNED AND line:85% position:40% size:75% WHAT WHEN WE GO BACK TO THE SO line:85% position:44% size:78% CALLED ELEPHANTS AND TALK ABOUT line:85% position:40% size:75% REAP, WHAT THEY GOT INTERESTED line:85% position:44% size:78% IN IS THE ABSENCE OF THEIR ROLE line:85% position:25% size:60% IN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.
line:85% position:22% size:55% SO PICKING UP FROM THE line:85% position:40% size:75% SCHOOLTEACHER HERE, A QUESTION line:85% position:15% size:35% FOR THE CLASS.
line:85% position:40% size:75% RUSTY SAID UNIVERSITIES, LARGE line:85% position:40% size:75% GROUP, GOVERNMENT LARGE GROUP, line:85% position:36% size:73% VENTURE CAPITAL, VERY FEW AND line:85% position:24% size:58% ENTREPRENEURS VERY FEW.
line:85% position:40% size:75% WHAT DID HE SAY ABOUT THE SIZE line:85% position:31% size:68% OF THE (INAUDIBLE) IN REAP?
line:85% position:18% size:45% >> HE IGNORED YOU.
line:85% position:29% size:65% >> HE DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING.
line:85% position:40% size:75% THAT'S HOW CORPORATIONS ARE IN line:85% position:29% size:65% THE ECOSYSTEM DEVELOPMENT.
line:85% position:33% size:70% WE, AS, WHEN WE MET IN REAP, line:85% position:25% size:60% THAT'S THE CONVERSATION.
line:85% position:33% size:70% WE CAN GIVE GRANTS A PROGRAM line:85% position:27% size:63% COMES, WE GIVE OUT MONEY.
line:85% position:44% size:78% AND TAKE A PICTURE AND BE DONE.
line:85% position:50% size:80% WE DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT WE GAVE.
line:85% position:20% size:50% WE DON'T KNOW HOW TO line:85% position:14% size:30% PARTICIPATE.
line:85% position:44% size:78% CORPORATIONS DO NOT KNOW HOW TO line:85% position:33% size:70% PARTICIPATE IN THE ECOSYSTEM line:85% position:33% size:70% DEVELOPMENT AND ACTUATING AN line:85% position:13% size:25% ECOSYSTEM.
line:85% position:50% size:80% WE ARE SO FOCUSED ON RUNNING OUR line:85% position:14% size:28% BUSINESSES.
line:85% position:31% size:68% THROUGH REAP, BOTH FROM OUR line:85% position:24% size:58% GROUP AND OTHER GROUPS, line:85% position:40% size:75% CORPORATIONS SHOULDN'T BE THAT line:85% position:11% size:10% WAY.
line:85% position:36% size:73% THAT'S VERY DANGEROUS FOR THE line:85% position:13% size:25% ECOSYSTEM.
line:85% position:44% size:78% CORPORATIONS LIKE REAP IS ABOUT line:85% position:40% size:75% THE FIVE STAKEHOLDERS, EACH OF line:85% position:44% size:78% THEM HAVE THEIR STRENGTHS, EACH line:85% position:36% size:73% OF THEM HAVE THEIR WEAKNESSES line:85% position:40% size:75% WHEN ALL OF THEM COME TOGETHER line:85% position:50% size:80% COLLABORATIVELY, THAT'S WHEN THE line:85% position:44% size:78% ECOSYSTEM STARTS TO ACCELERATE.
line:85% position:40% size:75% IF ANY ONE OF THEM ARE MISSING line:85% position:44% size:78% FROM THE TABLE, ACTUALLY, THERE line:85% position:33% size:70% IS A ROLE FOR THAT BUT IT IS line:85% position:13% size:20% MISSING.
line:85% position:44% size:78% NOBODY IS CLEAR ABOUT HOW TO DO line:85% position:11% size:13% THAT.
line:85% position:33% size:70% DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THAT WAY.
line:85% position:40% size:75% WE LEARN AS A CORPORATE TABLE, line:85% position:40% size:75% WE SAT AND TALKED ABOUT SYDNEY line:85% position:20% size:50% IS REAL ESTATE BASED line:85% position:15% size:33% CORPORATIONS.
line:85% position:44% size:78% SAME WAY NOVA SCOTIA AND CANADA line:85% position:21% size:53% IS MARITIME INDUSTRY.
line:85% position:50% size:80% WE DON'T HAVE TO LEARN FROM-- WE line:85% position:44% size:78% LEARN FROM ALL THOSE COUNTRIES.
line:85% position:31% size:68% WE DON'T HAVE TO LEARN FROM line:85% position:11% size:13% THEM.
line:85% position:40% size:75% RIGHT HERE IN LOUISVILLE, MATT line:85% position:29% size:65% IS HERE AND TAMMY DAY RUNS line:85% position:33% size:70% LOUISVILLE HEALTHCARE C.E.O.
line:85% position:31% size:68% COUNCIL THAT HAS BEEN DOING line:85% position:27% size:63% WONDERFUL-- THAT'S-- WHEN line:85% position:31% size:68% CORPORATIONS COME TOGETHER, line:85% position:24% size:58% GREAT THINGS-- THEY CAN line:85% position:14% size:30% PARTICIPATE.
line:85% position:36% size:73% THEY CAN MAKE A CHANGE IN THE line:85% position:40% size:75% ORGANIZATION BUT CORPORATIONS, line:85% position:36% size:73% IT'S HARD FOR CORPORATIONS TO line:85% position:15% size:35% COME TOGETHER.
line:85% position:31% size:68% THAT'S WHEN THE REST OF THE line:85% position:33% size:70% ECOSYSTEM HAS TO CREATE THAT line:85% position:27% size:63% COLLABORATIVE PLATFORM OR line:85% position:40% size:75% ENVIRONMENT WHERE CORPORATIONS line:85% position:21% size:53% CAN COME TOGETHER AND line:85% position:16% size:38% PARTICIPATE IN.
line:85% position:27% size:63% ACTUALLY CORPORATIONS ARE line:85% position:29% size:65% RESILIENT ECONOMIC UPTURN, line:85% position:40% size:75% DOWNTURN, THEY GO THROUGH THIS line:85% position:27% size:63% AND SURVIVE THROUGH THAT.
line:85% position:40% size:75% THEY CAN PROVIDE THAT SURVIVAL line:85% position:33% size:70% TO THE ENTREPRENEURS, TO THE line:85% position:50% size:80% RISK CAPITALS, TO THE GOVERNMENT line:85% position:36% size:73% WHERE THERE IS NO CONTINUITY, line:85% position:36% size:73% CORPORATIONS CAN PROVIDE THAT line:85% position:14% size:28% CONTINUITY.
line:85% position:50% size:80% IF YOU LOOK AT KENTUCKY, WE HAVE line:85% position:29% size:65% HEALTHCARE WE TALKED ABOUT line:85% position:14% size:28% HEALTHCARE.
line:85% position:40% size:75% WE HAVE METALS, WHERE KENTUCKY line:85% position:36% size:73% IS A VERY WIDE METALS ECONOMY line:85% position:40% size:75% METALS AND ADVANCED MATERIALS.
line:85% position:36% size:73% LOGISTICS, AGRITECH, A LOT OF line:85% position:40% size:75% INDUSTRY GROUPS THAT ARE THERE line:85% position:27% size:63% THAT CAN COME TOGETHER TO line:85% position:44% size:78% COLLABORATE AND THAT'S OUR HOPE line:85% position:24% size:58% AND STRIVING TO GET THE line:85% position:25% size:60% STAKEHOLDERS, ESPECIALLY line:85% position:44% size:78% CORPORATES TO COME AND TAKE AND line:85% position:40% size:75% PARTICIPATE ON THE TABLE, COME line:85% position:50% size:80% TO THE TABLE AND PARTICIPATE AND line:85% position:40% size:75% RAISING TIDE RAISES ALL BOATS.
line:85% position:27% size:63% IT'S NOT A ZERO SUM GAME.
line:85% position:44% size:78% WHEN ALL OF THEM COME TOGETHER.
line:85% position:44% size:78% AND ONE PARTNER WE DID NOT TALK line:85% position:31% size:68% ABOUT, ALEX DAY, WE USE THE line:85% position:50% size:80% CONNECTIONS PLATFORM TO CONNECT.
line:85% position:36% size:73% STILL IN THE EARLY STAGES BUT line:85% position:21% size:53% BRINGING TOGETHER THE line:85% position:27% size:63% COLLABORATIVE WORK IN THE line:85% position:25% size:60% ECOSYSTEM IS WHAT BRINGS line:85% position:40% size:75% KENTUCKY TO WHERE WE SHOULD BE line:85% position:31% size:68% AND WHERE OUR MAKER CULTURE line:85% position:31% size:68% SHOULD BE IN OUR ECOSYSTEM.
line:85% position:14% size:30% [ APPLAUSE ] line:85% position:50% size:80% >> PEOPLE TALK ABOUT RESKILLING, line:85% position:14% size:28% UPSKILLING.
line:85% position:44% size:78% I THINK IT'S VERY IMPORTANT FOR line:85% position:50% size:80% US TO THINK CONSTANTLY ABOUT NEW line:85% position:29% size:65% SKILLS THAT PEOPLE NEED TO line:85% position:13% size:20% ACQUIRE.
line:85% position:50% size:80% TALKING ABOUT THEM ONLY WITH THE line:85% position:33% size:70% SKILLS THEMSELVES MISSES THE line:85% position:50% size:80% BROADER NARRATIVE, WHICH IS HAVE line:85% position:50% size:80% HOW DO YOU TEACH PEOPLE TO THINK line:85% position:31% size:68% ABOUT A WORLD OF CONTINUOUS line:85% position:12% size:18% CHANGE.
line:85% position:44% size:78% IF YOU ARE GOING TO GIVE THEM A line:85% position:25% size:60% SET OF NEW SKILLS BUT NO line:85% position:33% size:70% CONNECTION TO HOW THEY MIGHT line:85% position:44% size:78% ACTUALLY EARN AN INCOME WITH IT line:85% position:40% size:75% AFTER THAT TRAINING PROGRAM IS line:85% position:50% size:80% OVER, IT CAN MAKE MATTERS WORSE.
line:85% position:24% size:58% >> TRANSITIONING IN THE line:85% position:29% size:65% INCUMBENT WORKFORCE TO NEW line:85% position:33% size:70% INDUSTRIES IS A CHALLENGE IN line:85% position:12% size:18% ITSELF.
line:85% position:24% size:58% THE BIG PART OF THAT IS line:85% position:33% size:70% OBVIOUSLY HAVE YOU TO DO THE line:85% position:29% size:65% SKILLS DEVELOPMENT, SKILLS line:85% position:29% size:65% TRAINING, SKILLS TRANSFER.
line:85% position:50% size:80% BUT WHAT YOU FIRST HAVE TO DO IS line:85% position:29% size:65% CONVINCE THEM THAT THEY'RE line:85% position:17% size:40% CAPABLE OF THAT.
line:85% position:44% size:78% AND THAT INNER VOICE IS A THING line:85% position:25% size:60% YOU HAVE TO OVERCOME AND line:85% position:13% size:20% ADDRESS.
line:85% position:21% size:53% AND WE DID THAT HERE.
line:85% position:44% size:78% WE WERE ALL INTIMIDATED BY THIS line:85% position:31% size:68% WHEN WE STARTED, BUT IT WAS line:85% position:40% size:75% MOTIVATION THROUGH STARVATION, line:85% position:40% size:75% ONE OF OUR DEVELOPERS LIKED TO line:85% position:11% size:10% SAY.
line:85% position:22% size:55% SO WE FOCUSED ON THAT.
line:85% position:50% size:80% >> COAL MINERS ALREADY LEARN HOW line:85% position:21% size:53% TO MOVE MOUNTAINS AND line:85% position:14% size:28% ALIGNMENTS.
line:85% position:50% size:80% THERE IS A LOT OF MOUNTAINS THAT line:85% position:40% size:75% NEED TO BE MOVED IN TECHNOLOGY line:85% position:40% size:75% AND THE FUTURE OF WORK THAT WE line:85% position:36% size:73% ARE GETTING SO THAT MIND SET, line:85% position:50% size:80% THAT DRIVE TO MINE THINGS OUT OF line:85% position:31% size:68% THE EARTH, WORK IN A LOT OF line:85% position:50% size:80% OTHER WAYS OF MINING THINGS LIKE line:85% position:24% size:58% DATA MINING, ARE MOVING line:85% position:50% size:80% MOUNTAINS OF WORK USING ADVANCED line:85% position:14% size:28% TECHNOLOGY.
