In one of our top stories today, Dallas Innovates' Glenn Hunter spoke with former 7-Eleven and Blockbuster CEO Jim Keyes about his new book, Education is Freedom. That CEO acronym in the book makes a key point, he told us.
Amid a general atmosphere of ignorance and fear that’s being stoked by the internet and social media, the U.S. education system currently is under attack as irrelevant or beyond repair, Jim Keyes says. What’s urgently needed, he believes, is replacing this cycle of negativity with knowledge—and a new technology platform that will ‘take American education to the next level.’
From leading Fortune 500 companies to co-founding a space-themed startup and authoring a book on the power of education, Jim Keyes' extraordinary journey from humble beginnings to visionary leader embodies the "American Dream." The multifaceted philanthropist, artist, and pilot is set to receive the 2024 Folsom Award from the Methodist Health System Foundation for his significant contributions to business, education, and the community.
Now through April 27, Back to Space is offering a pop-up mixed-reality experience called "The Lunar Light" inside shipping containers at the site of the former Valley View Center. "Space travelers" can go on a critical Moon mission that engages "all five senses" through immersive theater, cutting-edge tech, and interactive storytelling. Here's how the company first launched—and where it could be headed.
At its height, the Back to Space mission will soar to an altitude of more than 100,000 feet at the edge of space. The Dallas startup is partnering with Arizona-based World View Enterprises to build a vehicle. [image courtesy of Back to Space]
