Our Mobile Interactive Kiosk - MIK - is complete! Praise God!!!
We will have it on display at the Lexington Chamber's Lexpo event tomorrow evening, and would love for y'all to come out and see MIK.. There will be about 80 vendors besides us there.

I am putting together marketing materials, and have a page of MIK info linked below.
Hope to see you there.
I will also have MIK out front at Tech Beans this Wednesday, if you can't come out tomorrow evening.

It might be a great thing to do one Tech Beans meeting is to have one of you Ramen Life studs/studettes give us a demo of the site and what all can be done.
It's kind of follow your nose with the menu stuff on the left, but it's always nice to be given an overview and point out great features, etc.
I'm trying to figure out how to search for my previous posts, etc.
Hep me hep me.

Tech Beans showcasing page suggestions
Hello all. Giving a bit more intel on my ask/give this morning. Here's a sample page of our Cloud Screen™ software containing web page/YouTube list/slideshow/etc.
https://ids.cloud-screen.com/Publication/kioskDemo/
I want to put something together to showcase what's happening in our eco system with pix of our successes, videos, logos, etc. - a nice pic for today's pitch etc. I want content from y'all to promote yourselves, and be able top show off what I can do.
Is there a way to for members to add stuff to a folder on here of content (pix, logos, videos), URLs, etc.? Trying to think of the easiest way to get stuff from y'all.
I'm going to bring The SHOW CASE™ next week with a humble draft page cobbled together. Attached is a photo of The SHOW CASE™ so you can see what I mean, with a sample page on the screen.
Thanks in advance!
Feel free to grab our site or any sub pages !!

Thank you !!
Hey Gore, not sure what voodoo needs changed on your site, but I can't embed it in a Cloud Screen™ page as is. I can grab pix or logo no problew. Would love to have yours as an embed to put extra stuff with.

Hello Friends and Founders!
We would love to get all of your feedback in on the Community Pledge this week, with the goal of presenting the final Pledge next Wednesday, March 16th, at Tech Beans. Please review and send over feedback to myself, Nell Fuller, and/or Thaddeus Jones Jr. by Friday, March 11th. We will combine notes, implement, and get it all finalized! Excited for the future and moving on to the next big thing! See below for the latest draft.
DRAFT (v5)
The Community Pledge
The Columbia innovation community is an inclusive destination for innovators of all races, genders, ethnicities, educational attainment, and experiences. We, the members of the Columbia innovation community, believe that great founders build great companies, that great companies build great communities, and that great communities support all innovators.
Through our words and actions, the Columbia innovation community will help foster a greater Columbia, one which is a thriving and equitable economy for all.
To support my community, I pledge that:
- I will put the needs of the community first and make decisions based on what would be best for the community.
- I will intentionally engage in positive collaboration among all ecosystem actors, and act from a place of abundance rather than engaging in a zero-sum-game.
- I will nurture community projects with the aim of building a thriving startup community.
- I will help foster the next generation of entrepreneurs and community leaders.
- I will adopt a #givefirst mentality without an expectation of getting anything in return.
- I will elevate underrepresented voices to leadership roles.
- I will do what I say I am going to do.
- I will connect individuals asking for help with my network, when possible, with as little curation or filters as reasonable.
- I reject the idea of gatekeepers and will work to ensure everyone in the community is treated as an equal with equitable access to resources and opportunity.
- I will publicly support this pledge and encourage others in the community to do so as well.
this is my favorite list of 10 things from Investors Business Daily - https://www.investors.com/
IBD’S 10 SECRETS TO SUCCESS
Investor’s Business Daily has spent years analyzing leaders and successful people in all walks of life. Most have 10 traits that, when combined, can turn dreams into reality. Each day, we highlight one.
1 HOW YOU THINK IS EVERYTHING: Always be positive. Think success, not failure. Beware of a negative environment.
2 DECIDE UPON YOUR TRUE DREAMS AND GOALS: Write down your specific goals and develop a plan to reach them.
3 TAKE ACTION: Goals are nothing without action. Don’t be afraid to get started. Just do it.
4 NEVER STOP LEARNING: Go back to school or read books. Get training and acquire skills.
5 BE PERSISTENT AND WORK HARD: Success is a marathon, not a sprint. Never give up.
6 LEARN TO ANALYZE DETAILS: Get all the facts, all the input. Learn from your mistakes.
7 FOCUS YOUR TIME AND MONEY: Don’t let other people or things distract you.
8 DON’T BE AFRAID TO INNOVATE; BE DIFFERENT: Following the herd is a sure way to mediocrity.
9 DEAL AND COMMUNICATE WITH PEOPLE EFFECTIVELY: No person is an island. Learn to understand and motivate others.
10 BE HONEST AND DEPENDABLE; TAKE RESPONSIBILITY: Otherwise, Nos. 1-9 won’t matter.
This is great! Thank you for sharing!
