H.O.P.E.
How Optimism Promotes Entrepreneurship

Did you hear that half the global economic crisis is based on perception and the global sudden lack of confidence? Did you know that the lack of trust among citizens in the poorest countries is a major contributor to sustaining their economic plight?

Seriously, our joint human potential is locked in our capacity and willingness to share information and support one another. If we are all focused on ourselves only, it can never happen. Only by giving to others can we receive the dramatic benefits. These are hard facts and scientifically provable, despite widespread disbelief from centuries of our fighting one another.

This is not a religious issue, unless you choose to make it so, which is OK. From a scientific perspective it is a fact that the cells in a newborn’s brain have weak interconnections and that intelligence grows as these connections are strengthened by outside stimulation, experience, and eventually, by focused self-actualization. Consider our communities with citizens like cells in a brain. Our community intelligence is directly related to whether citizens share information, engage in strengthening connections. Our global evolutionary imperative is to learn collaborate or die. As one human family, the “time of the we,” has arrived. This is a time for smaller houses and bigger lives.

Introducing Social Quantum Theory; How to unlock raw human potential worldwide in the short term via social media, and imagination. Keep your money, this free course is a demonstration of social entrepreneurship and the power of our collective imaginations.

Longer “Press Release”

Increasing broadband across Alaska has created new Global Entrepreneurship opportunities for making the living you want, living wherever you want. KACN-TV’s Alaska Communications Center has received funding from the Denali Training Fund Youth and Alaska Youth First Program to launch a unique online course addressing innovative broadband entrepreneurship and 21st Century Workforce Readiness.

Alaska has more broadband (fast Internet) than any other state with 68% of homes already subscribing. Distance learning allows Alaskans of all ages to tap into a world-wide boom in online entrepreneurship innovation. Many Alaskan families, communities, and villages are in dire need of new solutions to preserve their cherished Alaskan lifestyles. Alaska’s first digital generation has already demonstrated a readiness to innovate with digital technologies. This project will host a dozen statewide TV video broadcasts covering many career choices, both traditional and new information age 21st Century jobs.

150 Alaskan youth will be competitively selected to participate in an 8 week train-the-trainers online course with emphasis on identifying Alaskan ecommerce and telework success stories and the best resources for Alaskan entrepreneurs seeking to be able to live and work anywhere. As part of global citizenship, Alaska demands an appreciation for cultural diversity, an understanding of the emerging social media dynamics for social entrepreneurship, rural revitalization, global service learning, and establishing trusted relationships, locally and globally.
Alaskan Youth will learn how to become instructional entrepreneurs and to transfer 21st Century skills to anyone, anywhere. Combining caring and connectivity with common sense, Alaskan youth will demonstrate broadband training best practices, Alaskan-style, in preparation for creation of micro-multinational businesses.

20 youth will be competitively selected based on their social entrepreneurship performance during the online course to attend a month long Entrepreneurship Bootcamp. This residential Bootcamp will prepare participants to become video news reporters for KACN-TV, and for the world, via the Internet. Bootcamp participants will receive loaner laptops, video cameras and training for multimedia production via TV and Internet.
