The Opportunity Collective

What if you were never invited to opportunities? You may feel like you are forgotten, left out, unwelcome, or just not important. 

This happens all the time. People are marginalized and left out of opportunities because of their skin color, culture, gender, religion, etc. 

Can you imagine experiencing discrimination for years?  It would be easy to have a mindset of little hope for the future. 

Dr. Timothy Knight describes his own experience of racism and discrimination. This conversation is a bit different than you might expect because of how Dr. Timothy has chosen to react to unfair circumstances. Instead of hating organizations and people who have hurt him, he finds opportunity in seeing the intrinsic value every one of us has.  

Dr. Timothy Knight works in diversity, equity, and inclusion at his business Knight Light Solutions. Through his work, he helps others become the best version of themselves. Dr. Timothy wants you to know that you matter to someone. You deserve to live a life of hope.

As a creative entrepreneur, dreamer, or human, you have a ton of ideas just floating around in your head. So how do you take those dreams and turn them into a reality? 

Where do dreams turn into opportunities?

Josh wasn't always a tech-startup CEO. Before putting his dreams into action, Josh habitually spoke his ideas out loud with people he trusted. This took his ideas from a simple dream to a testable option. After getting his ideas out there, Josh could ensure he had the resources to turn those ideas into a reality. Josh gets unstuck and creates his future by repeatedly speaking out his ideas.

Viktor Frankl wrote that there is a moment in-between the Impulse and the Response. John Blythe calls that moment opportunity.

Opportunity is not the moment where you get to give the big speech, shoot the game winning three-pointer, or propose to your girlfriend. Opportunity is in the practices, workouts, and dates leading to that pivotal moment. 

John Blythe is Vice President of Engineering at Combined Curiosity, a company that helps adults learn new hobbies like guitar or gardening. As an engineer, John builds people, platforms, and products (in that order). John finds himself as the Vice President of a growing tech company because he took the next step in front of him. This radical curiosity is what prepared him for the work he is doing right now.
