Episode 0020: The Axis of Innovation

Show Notes - Host: Dan Hugo - Summary: The Axis Powers, or the Axis around which an Innovation Hub might rotate? A bit of both, perhaps. First a Story about Phoenix - Economic Diversification FTW! But which ways to go? - Electronics Assembly, Semiconductors, Government Contracting (and Tourism) - Strangely, the executives with stakes in existing foci, after traveling the world to study other places, realized the foci that had stakes in were the ones to continue focus on ! Our Future Innovation Hub - Who is driving this? - Where are the headed? - Are we invited? Let us design an Innovation Hub - It is all about the culture and it begins at age 0 - Make resources available. Imagine LEGOs but for all of your STEAM concepts, and more - The key factor about Innovation is, you cannot decide ahead of time what it is. Innovation and Entrepreneurialism - Like peas and carrots! One need not be both, but it is not uncommon. - Can we sprinkle either of these on top of an ecosystem and watch the crops change? - Can we simply import people with these interests and abilities and make that happen?
