I am dyslexic

April 18, 2022 by kkoym Leave a Comment

Thanks for clicking through to this page.  If you came to this page, you probably got an email from me or from my assistant, and you’re joining me in an experiment to get more communications out the door faster, more concise, and more directly from me versus my team members.  Over the years, with all of the countries that I have traveled with, and connected with literally tens of thousands of people, one thing is clear- as much positive impact as we’ve collectively had together, I have been personally limited on my ability to follow up with many of you… partially because of the sheer number of people that I have met, but the truth more recently that I have noticed, is that I have a difficult time at times with text based communication… I am dyslexic.  Did you know that 30% of American entrepreneurs are dyslexic?  Well… so am I.  Which now makes sense why in high school I would get perfect grammar, perfect vocabulary, but get destroyed by my teachers on my spelling… so be gentle with me in these experiments as I explore different ways of communicating to help drive the vision of Tech Ranch. I truly believe that entrepreneurs working around the world together can make for a better world.  We can build shared prosperity, introduce new technologies and ways of doing things that make the world a better place… and because this is important, I am now going to start experimenting a lot to see what works on sharing more about the work that we’re doing together to get the word out to a larger audience.  Let me know your thoughts, I am always open to your supportive feedback, both “good” and “bad”.  Through this, we can get there together faster!

RIP Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, and New Beginnings Bridging Texas with Hungary

October 22, 2021 by kkoym Leave a Comment

There’s brilliance found across the world… this is short note to lament the loss of a brilliant man, but open a new conversation with the country of his birth. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, the Hungarian author of the book “Flow” which is a study of happiness and what brings us happiness died yesterday. His work brings great insight to what brings us happiness. At the same time, today, Tech Ranch, in conjunction with the Consulate of Hungary in Houston, is launching the Texas-Hungary Venture Bridge, where we’ll be bridging science, tech, entrepreneurship, and innovation between these two regions. I am sorry for the loss of Mihaly, for I have been inspired by his work, and in fact, its Hungarians like himself and Gabor Mate that make me keenly interested in learning more about Hungary (including I’ll be in Budapest in late November this year). I look forward to being a bridge to this type of brilliance and insight, and hopefully bring a little bit of Austin connections and values into the conversation as we build this bridge going forward.
 
Watch the TED Talk about “Flow, the Secret to Happiness” below from Mihaly to gain some insight. Check out the link about today’s event. Let me know if you have ideas for us, on building this bridge or another one. And may he rest in peace, he is indeed one of the reasons that I found Hungary intriguing, to set out and build this (and other) bridges.

December 5, 2016 by kkoym Leave a Comment

Kevin was in Pakistan December of 2016 with the US Delegation. He sits down with MIT Technology Review Pakistan to discuss how to blend tech startups and social impact in order to make the world a better place.
