Diana Kander is a senior fellow at the Kansas City-based Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation and a best-selling author. She's also the brains behind at least 3 Kansas City political dynasties that we can think of off the top of our head.
While the hype about "millennials" and the creative class is hard to prove . . . Diana Kander would certainly be the prime example of the very best of local young people. However, she drives a car and commutes a lot from Columbia, MO where she lives with her hubby MO Secretary of State Jason Kander.
Anyhoo . . .
TAKE A LOOK AT THE DIANA KANDER BIZ TALK FEATURED @ THE RECENT TEXxKC TECH BIZ CONFERENCE!!!

Our Approach to Innovation Is Dead Wrong | Diana Kander | TEDxKC
The clip on the Internets so that online denizens don't have to pay the hefty fee @ the door:
Youtube description:
"In the past decade, we've seen an explosion in the number of business incubators, startup accelerators and entrepreneurial training programs. But Kander argues all of these programs share an enormous fatal flaw. Diana's talk challenges our thinking about entrepreneurship and presents a new approach for startups and corporations alike.
"Diana Kander entered America as an eight-year old refugee of the Soviet Union. By the time she was an American citizen, she had perfected her skills as a capitalist – selling flea market goods to grade school classmates at a markup.
Today, Kander is a successful entrepreneur, having founded and sold a number of ventures, and is a senior fellow at the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, the largest nonprofit in the world dedicated to entrepreneurship and education. A sought-out public speaker and consultant, Kander has advised startup founders and Fortune 500 executives on her methodology for launching customer-focused products and services. She is the author of New York Times bestseller “All In Startup,” a business novel published by Wiley in 2014. The book is a "page turner" that helps entrepreneurs build products and services they know customers will buy."

Did Beth ever forgive her?
ReplyDeleteDumb.
ReplyDeleteVery affected manner of speaking...smells like bullshit.
ReplyDeleteWho is Beth and why would she be upset with anyone?
ReplyDeleteWhat is a Sr. Fellow at a non-profit? Political appointment?
ReplyDeleteShe has never shared her views on unsolicited bulk email. But I like her legs.
ReplyDelete3:15 - thanks for covering for me!
ReplyDeleteAlways a pleasure.
DeleteShe wrote a lot of very very nasty shit about her husband's opponent on the old blog GONE MILD. Filthy, hateful shit. She will never be forgiven even if she was not a total bullshitter now.
ReplyDeleteThere are a great number of people in KC who will cut her husband slack but cannot stand that bitch.
ReplyDelete3:20 - Thanks for the info. Who is Beth though?
ReplyDeleteThat's a nice looking dude.
ReplyDeleteSome will say we’re homogenizing
ReplyDeleteOuch, my balls; these jeans are tight
I just learned how to knit a sweater
No work on Monday, let’s party all night
It’s survival thanks to Mommy
Then you can live to play all day
City Kansas streets can be so pretty
When we move in and push the natives away
In my new city, like, yaaaaaah.
In my new city, oh yaaaaaaah
I wasn’t born here in this city
I’m from a state with a lot of malls
My beard grows, I’m so urban and gritty
Until I catch a beating when night falls
I came from out on that horizon
To gentrify the CK sky
I know if Mommy keeps on paying
Then I can stay for another night
In my new city, like, yahhhh
In my new city
Zzzzzzzz
ReplyDeleteWho fucking cares about this woman and why is she relevant?
ReplyDelete@404; quality of Intel shared with Tony is dropping daily. Soon, he will be posting sudoku puzzles.
ReplyDeleteAnything to keep hits up.
Tony jacks off to her because she looks like a boy.
ReplyDeleteThat n word guy, the ridiculous Klansman polarbear are real boring and take up a lot of time just scrolling past their old rants.
ReplyDeleteMakes this blog a drag. Was pretty good before they started posting.
You seen one snake oil salesperson you seen em all.
ReplyDeleteBeth shouldn't forgive her
ReplyDeleteWho is this Diana Kander lady?
ReplyDeleteI like the cut of her jib!
Please give Toni Bones a job.
ReplyDelete4:53 - who is Beth?
ReplyDeleteShe is a sleeper KGB agent. Be aware and be very afraid.
ReplyDeleteLMFAO. One has to wonder what constitutes a "political dynasty" in Tony's small brain.
ReplyDeleteObviously the threshold is very, very low.
Brother could you spare a couple of pair of Diane's panties for a lonely Bear ? I know she must have given you several pair. Oh, and not the drenched ones that you stuff under the pillow when mom ventures into the Taco Cave.
Best selling author ? Where ? Higginsville.
ReplyDeleteHey Tuluride , Turduride or whatever the fuck you call yourself.
ReplyDeleteKnow that it makes the Bears day knowing he gets under your skin. Thanks for the shout out.
Ass clown.
7:20 PM I believe a shadowy Oligarch purchased enough electronic editions of the "book" to skew the best seller rankings for several minutes during a Friday evening.
ReplyDeleteSweet Jesus, you'd think a "cult of personality" would have a better one.
ReplyDeleteI think he is funnier that shit Bear. Your game is beyond predictable.
ReplyDeleteOK.....now the F-Bombs.
Dang, the predictability is boring.
Hmm....open your presentation with a TOTALLY irrelevant story about you being a VICTIM (not really! he ran off) as a means to elicit sympathy for your wacko theories on entrepreneurship.
ReplyDeleteTaekwondo, Mike Tyson, marshmallows and kindergarteners....ahh, yes, this is deep thinking from a pseudo-intellectual.
TEDxKC = after listening to this presentation, TED left town in disgust, thus "TEDxKC"
SWEET as and that cute lil pussy just straining for those pants to be unzipped and a finger inserted!!! Leave the shoes on baby!
ReplyDeleteWhats Toni Bones up to now that she's unpacked from Ferguson
ReplyDelete?
I know a trans woman who was raped 4 times in the ass before she was 19
ReplyDeleteI will be honest--she makes me sad. It is almost embarrassing to see someone promote themselves like this--and yes, I do like her husband a lot.
ReplyDeleteI would click on this if Diana had ever actually done anything. She hasn't. She is another person who wears the label of entrepreneur but only tells others what they should be doing. In my experience that kind of entrepreneurship only comes from people who are not actually worried about paying their bills.
ReplyDeleteThe way she has climbed up the social ladder and gained access to the movers and shakers is impressive, and her husbands accomplishments are admirable, but she has nothing to teach.
bet that poopy hole is TIGHT!!!!
