Episode notes
From Church Talk To Innovation Project
- Kevin Kim joined an innovation project funded by a VC at Menlo Park Presbyterian Church that gathered Stanford, IDEO, and industry leaders.
- The two-year project taught him practical innovation tools and felt like a free MBA that spawned faith-and-tech experiments.
Innovation Versus Technology
- Innovation jumps a field to a new paradigm rather than iterating existing forms, like the shift from horse to automobile.
- Technology are the tools that enable those paradigm shifts but do not themselves equal innovation.
Designing Secret Education Delivery
- Kevin described helping someone design a covert way to deliver a full high-school education in a closed Muslim country using low-bandwidth media.
- The team explored formats (audio, video, PDFs) then reimagined what high-school education might look like rather than copying existing forms.
