Knowledge comes from experience-- so does Perspective.

Leo Kiesling's perspective on life developed from circumstances and from doing. "We don't sit around and feel sorry for ourselves. If you want change, you make it," he extoles.

A life of doing, taking action, is so rewarding.  The more challenges you endure the more resiliant you are.  You can't build your immune system without a collision of differences. And be smart about it too. "Don't ever get into trouble you can't handle," Leo urges. 

Clear vision increases your surface area for success.  This is a truth I have learned from the best entrepreneurs.  Enjoy the Perspective. 

Sonder: a profound feeling that each passerby is living a life as vivd and complex as your own.

Jason is telling you the concerns and the excitement he has with ai.  Jason is sharing how he is working to implement "this need of trust you're going to need peer-to-peer."

As a human being we are all guilty of taking the easy way out.  Jason talks about us "avoiding the mud" because we can-- technology has allowed us to in many ways.

"And that might be fine for today" but can lead us to shunning challenge and ultimately to profligate. 

We must challenge this life that we have. This is what Digital Integrity, Jason's Non-Profit, does for people, for businesses for communities-- utilize ai tools AND do the work.

This ai is a tool and a very valuable one.  Consider the uses.  Jason Toevs has a cautionary approach to this tool that can be a teacher.  

Beware of the tool that can evolve from teacher to friend to lover to master. 

"All of us have been working in silos. Now it is time to collaborate." -Mayor Wu

Politics is not about Leadership.  It is the misguided pursuit and side-tracting element of percieved power. It leads to squadered opportunities.  

Public Service is about Leadeship.  Lily Wu is a Public Servant.  

And leadership is a requirement of all capable people for a community to thrive. 

Lets not confuse a loud voice with a willingness to solve a problem.  Problem solving takes work and communication.  Screaming about an issue to draw attention is what a toddler does after dropping their Binky.  

Doing the work is "taking ownership of your neighborhood," Mayor Wu affirms, "I want to elevate that."

Wichita is elevated with the Leadership of Mayor Wu.  She works for Wichitans through communication every day.  Face-to-face and event-to-event; Lily serves the people.  

Solutions to problems take action.  Lliy Wu is taking action on Crime, public safety, Wichita streets and Economic Development. I thank Mayor Wu for her active Leadership.

Wichita is winning. 

"It's hard to learn when you are not neccessarily wanting to learn." Grant Johnson, Founder

Do want to know how to learn or do you want to know the information?

I'm here to learn! And Grant Johnson takes that even further as he contemplates "learning what you are advantaged to and what you are not advantaged to do."

Grant Johnson has the confidence to pursue his full potential.  And that can be a challenge when the customary path for intelligent students is High School to College, College to Advanced Degree.  Grant's curiosity is insatiable and so he takes action.

Chatterbox is the gamified application that he Founded.  Chatterbox will help you learn that next language because it incentivizes you to "keep your streak."  We can accomplish amazing things when we work at it.

Find him @grantjohnsonCreates on the social platforms.  This guy is dynamic.

"Fail fast. If it ends up not being the right decison, fail fast!" -Corey Westphal, Founder/CEO

"Facts are stubborn things." -Dr. Dix quoting John Quincy Adams

Facts matter in legal and moral discussions.  We have come to that proverbial turning point in our society.  A turning point where the public discovered the terrible consequences of censored speech.  And many emerged with wisdom.  The wisdom to encourage all to participate in the discussion while valuing the voices and actions of those who truly contribute to society.  

Dr. Dix regales us with his deep understandng of history and economics as we peel the layers on this metamorphisis.  One thing is certain, we are in a moment of inspiration.  What are you going to do with it?

"The greateset harm to the environment is people living in poverty."  

-Warren Martin, Executive Director Kansas Strong

Nearly 60% of the energy people in the United States consume and depend on comes from oil & natural gas.

Energy needs are increasing.  Reliable energy is a basic need for human flourishing.

The industry has been under irresponsible persecution over the last 4 years.  It impacted us all every time we went to the supermarket. "The grocery bag is what decided this election," states Warren Martin, "there is energy cost in every gallon of milk."

Artificial mandates for unreliable energy sources are hard on consumers.  It is those living at other beloe the poverty line who are effected more than anyone else. 

We must embrace the full strength of our energy capacity.  The United States is stronger with robust oil & gas production.  This is what makes Kansas Strong. 

"I walked by a Radio Shack in the 1970's and saw a TRS 80 and it changed my life." -Charles Rose

It was technology that drove Charles early in his career.  It was human psychology that gave him purpose. 

Charles Rose had a successful exit from the technology business he started.  When he was at the moment of his greatest success he was also alone.  

We often normalize behaviors that reduce our human value because it leads us to a desired outcome.  Once the outcome is achieved we can lack purpose.

Charles Rose supports high achievers who often neglect innate value.  Listen to how he serves people.

"Shelter is just that-- shelter. It is not long term." Ryan Gates, Executive Producer

Homelessness is a challenge, a problem, a fear, a sadness, a human condition that requires humanity to solve.  Wichita, Kansas and communities all over the Unites States want a solution. It is Wichita, Kansas that is putting poeple together to "triage" resources to end homelessness. 

Ryan Gates documentary Hope In The Heartland, Wichita's Quest to End Homelessness is a call to action.  We are all responsible for the solution.
