"What I really like about #Cincinnati, and why I’m really excited to do a startup here, is we’ve got this really strong impact community. We’ve got really big challenges but we’ve also got a community that is incredibly supportive of entrepreneurs." - Pete Blackshaw
Thanks, Pete, for joining the initiative.
Tons of insightful quotes here:
"It all starts with trust, right? I mean, at the end of the day, it's not rocket science—how do you build trust to build bridges and to get people to be believers."
"We need to believe it's possible, and we need to look at the partners in that process. We need people, we need enabling technology, we need ecosystems to support us."
"You have to be a bit ambitious, you have to be a bit unrealistic, you have to almost set the bar unrealistically high to get others to kind of be there."
"The reason why Silicon Valley wins, really leads the world in innovation, is because you have this collision between two somewhat competing forces: people that want to get really, really rich and people who want to change the world... they kind of hate each other but they desperately need each other and it works."
🎤 Excited to share Pete Blackshaw's powerful keynote from the PeaceRise Innovation Challenge at the University of Cincinnati’s 1819 Innovation Hub.
