- With that, let's get this party started,
I am now going to pass the baton to-
- Adam Mullins and Jacquelyn Strey with Brixilated.
- How will Brixilated create a memorable
user experience for its consumers and communities?
- We wanted to take our business in a different direction
and create a social enterprise-
- While ensuring entertainment value
for creative minds
and potential builders of all ages?
- And that's how we got involved
with the influencer program and Nathan
and Anthony.
- The experience that the rehabilitated person
would go through by highlighting the partner.
Making sure that that is the first thing
you see when you open the box
and making that connection with the customer.
- A little bit about ourselves,
again my name is Ben Blincoe.
I've had a company in the packaging business
for 26+ years and so the challenge
are brought to this unknown,
I really didn't know what we were getting into.
- And ultimately, we're trying to change
behavior and change people's mindsets
to get them to think differently,
but then also do differently as well.
- My experience was in the packaging world.
Everyone knew, I mean when I'm talking
from Amazon to Disney.
We all knew the need to have more sustainable packaging.
- Welcome to "ourpact to impact."
- Do you ever suffer from the desire to do more
than your environment but you don't know
where to start?
- So the idea was to bring Mike's business mind,
Mo's computer science love and skills
and Jared's really message.
- And then, like the end goal for the campaign
is to have some type of virtual reality simulator.
The app case takes these stories
and the stories can be seen on the VRs.
- But I am Colleen Douglass, video producer,
I have been an eighth grade science teacher,
been a lot of different things.
- Created a survey to ask a variety of teachers
what their opinions are on how the American
education system currently handles students.
- Tatum is really in to powerlifting
and John's really passionate about education
and so I really wanted to help figure out
how we can get people to learn about themselves earlier.
- As the year goes on,
these students can transition into more and more
diverse learning style groups,
so they're working with others and seeing how-
- Hi everybody, my name is Nancy again
and I started out- I worked for a nonprofit
in New York City that provides housing
and services to homeless and formally homeless
New Yorkers.
- So our collision is to take care of the
financial, mental and physical wellbeing
of students in order to help them learn
more effectively and reach success.
- So John and Ethan will share
a little bit more about this,
but they both face pretty significant obstacles
to get into college and then getting through college.
- And get companies to see the value
in nontraditional students earlier
and building strong relationships we can-
the companies will have a bigger stake in all of this.
- I'm Mackenzie Baines, I am a product manager
and so since the six months of this in I have
changed jobs, companies and industries.
- My drive is a little bit, is kind of similar
where I want to use technology
because my background is in computer science
to break down silos between people's backgrounds.
- There is always a challenge between
the technology gap of products
and sales understanding of a customer problem
and the engineers' understanding
of that customer problem.
- With two major pieces to it.
You have an app which has a survey
and a way to submit discussion topics.
And the other portion of it is
the meeting portion of it.
- Hey, I got lucky on this one,
I think Ben kinda said it best early on
when I feel like I got to be the student
in many ways.
I have good fortune spending the better part of
the last six months with the Roberts,
Nick West and Michael Benevento.
- We're kinda looking at the problem.
We broke this down into three problems that
we saw and helped care
and that we thought we can tackle.
- And we tackle some of the most complex problems
in North America they-
which happen to reside in the healthcare ecosystem.
- Basically what we wanna create is a way
to hybridize almost a backbone of fitness
and wellness tracking with a way to get
businesses and managed care,
a.k.a. insurance companies involved in your care.
- I put the pressure on them that I wanted
this to be presented to people that run
venture capital funds and executives in
the healthcare space that I thought
would be interested in this type of concept.
- And he's at risk for a heart event right now.
So we look at diet assistance, he's gonna be able
to keep a food journal,
a kind of a lower sodium diet and lower cholesterol
to prevent that heart event.
- So as your influencer-
- It's our immense pleasure-
- It's my honor.
- It was my absolute pleasure-
- Congratulations on very much having earned-
- The IX certificate in Applied Creativity
for Transformation, congratulations!
(celebratory cheers)
- Good job!
- You've graduated (mumbles)
