Black Lives Matter to Innovation

Why do stories matter to the innovation process? What values can be instilled in innovators who share stories? How do innovation leaders inspire creators to tell and share their success and failure stories?

在这一特殊的创新故事中,我们希望突出黑色创新者的声音。这个Sizzle卷轴来自以前受访者的报价,他们分享多样性,公平和纳入创新的重要性。我们认为扩大创新的黑色声音并增加授予颜色创新者的风险投资数量是很重要的。一旦您听到这些亮点,我们鼓励您倾听每个受访者的全集,以获得其创新工作的完整背景。

TRANSCRIPT

Derrick Braziel:[00:00:03]你会做出大量的错误。但如果你失败了,你不怕从那些错误中学习,有时以非常公开的方式这样做,我认为这会将你与等待始终完美的人分开。所以,了解你的价值。开始凌乱。并不要害怕前进。

Chris Denson:[00:00:21] Most of us know what we’ll do if we fail. Right. We’ll go back to the job, or you know, I’m going to give it a year. And if it doesn’t work, I’m going to go and do X Y. But we don’t plan for if it really works. What are the possibilities?

Derrick Braziel:[00:00:34]我们应该认识到我们会犯错误。我们没有所有的答案。但是,如果你愿意坐在那里互相倾听,我认为有机会关系。

Dan Miller:[00:00:44]在这一刻,宇宙中存在的所有机会都存在。如果我们正在购买热力学定律 - 这在该物质中解释了这一宇宙的基础组成部分,这是没有创造的,它只是改变了形式 - 然后在这一刻,目前所有创建未来的所有可能性都存在。这是我们作为创新者的工作,因为企业家连接点,以确保我们可以创造未来。

Derrick Braziel:[00:01:17] We teach entrepreneurship in the United States based upon one particular worldview: white, straight, male. And typically those people come from a position of privilege.

Katie Trauth Taylor:[00:01:23] And they are the ones who get most of the venture capital still. Things are getting better, but it’s a slow process, slow process.

Derrick Braziel:[00:01:32] So, the first thing to recognize is there are other ways to teach entrepreneurship. And we recognize that people of color, we have different learning styles and different cultural references and different cultural contexts. So, we wanted to figure out a way that we could teach the nuances and the principles of entrepreneurship in a way that was digestible to folks that traditionally have not been incorporated into those traditional entrepreneurial systems. What we wanted to do was to build bridges. We wanted to find these entrepreneurs and train them and to build their confidence in themselves while also working with those folks that were at the time decision makers, whether it’s developers or whoever it might be, and to provide a bridge for those folks who work together to find common goals, common objectives. And the hope is that when this would happen, you have a more diverse, economically inclusive community. And I believe we’re starting to see that in Over the Rhine.

Chris Denson:[00:02:28]你如何通过世代知识或行为?

Dan Miller:[00:02:32] We are designing healthcare, primary care in particular, specifically designed for people of color in the United States. And so our goal is to address racial and ethnic healthcare disparities across the Latinx, Black American, South Asian and East Asian American communities in particular—but we’re not exclusionary to any other groups, we are very inclusive of these groups and are uniquely designing experiences for them with the hypothesis of if we do so, we’ll be able to address significant health care disparities.

Derrick Braziel:[00:03:02] All of us want Cincinnati to be the best possible place. And I think that most of us would agree that it’s a better city if all of us can participate.

Chris Denson:[00:03:10] Sometimes there’s a disconnect between what an audience might expect from a person or brand versus what we feel comfortable giving them.

Angela Freeman:[00:03:20] Now we have a particular focus on diversity and equity and inclusion for all girls and all women. And just make them have the opportunity to be exposed to STEM, to know that they can excel and advance in STEM, that you can be independent, and just build that confidence in young girls so that the next generation of women in science, technology, engineering and math, you know, don’t face some of the same obstacles that me and my generation have. That’s all you can do, right, is try to instill and invest in the next generation.
