Jeanette Pierce is a lifelong native of Detroit proper, and she is what I would call the human encyclopedia of all things Detroit. After studying abroad in Spain, she was inspired to help create the same small-town, know your neighbors across the street feel to Detroit, as she saw fit. Since then, she's worked at building the new narrative of Detroit for over 15 years. In her cofounder and director roles at Inside Detroit, D:hive, and now the Detroit Experience Factory, she has been a huge contributor to the new-age perspective on Detroit. Having toured Senators, Governors, Mayors, Presidents, CEOs, and so many more, she's experienced firsthand, and even been the cause of, the frame shift of what was once seen as a desolate city, to one that is thriving.   DXF Website: http://bit.ly/DXFxASHE Spring Soiree: http://detroitexperiencefactory.org/soiree ASHE Media Website: http://bit.ly/ashemediawebsite (http://bit.ly/ashemediawebsite) ASHE FB Page: http://bit.ly/ashefacebook

The Detroit Regional Chamber's annual Detroit Policy Conference on Thursday will focus on making a business case for creating a culture of civility in a region with a long history of divisions among race, geography and wealth. Devon O'Reilly of Detroit Regional Chamber and Jeanette Pierce of the Detroit Experience Factory joined Crain's reporter Chad Livengood for a discussion on the Crain's "Detroit Rising" podcast about the conference's civility pillar.

Everyone struggles from time to time with the little voice inside their head that says “what if…?” What if you fail? What if you really mess things up? What if you don’t?   Self-proclaimed people connector and owner of Detroit’s Firebird Tavern, Tony Piraino is no stranger to that little voice. But he has another question for you: Does a pylon stop traffic or do you drive around it? In this episode Tony talks about taking calculated risks and doing little things every day to evolve and stay connected to your customers.   Sponsored by: Detroit Experience Factory   QUOTE IT “The act of going after it and failing and the act of not doing anything are two dramatically different things.” (2:44)   “You’ve gotta talk yourself into change a little bit, and it doesn’t come easy for me exactly, but when you look at the big picture you have to do it.” (7:20)   DIG IN Tony offers up some unconventional advice about evolving your brand at the 7:50 mark.   Starting at 13:10 Tony tells a story about a simple business decision that led to attracting lifelong customers and why those customers stick around as Detroit evolves and grows.   TAKEAWAYS A disruption in your normal routine can be a fortuitous bounce to your next big thing. Bad circumstances can be transformed into a lucky break if you pause and look for opportunity in the commotion. The right time to look for your next product or service is when your current offerings are doing well. If you’re doing work you love, you’re more likely to figure out how to keep moving ahead in the face of adversity.

April Boyle: activate ideas to (re)build a community   April Boyle found a gap in Detroit’s local entrepreneurial market and filled it. Now she’s making an impact on the city’s comeback by helping people turn their business ideas into reality.   April Boyle, executive director at Detroit’s Build Institute and her team have graduated over 700 aspiring and experienced entrepreneurs, many of whom have gone on to start successful businesses in Detroit.   Sponsored by: Detroit Experience Factory   QUOTE IT “When you’re leading an organization in a city with as many challenges as Detroit has...every day I am out of my comfort zone.” (5:40)   “A disruptor sees things aren’t working and they try to solve the problem.” (10:28)   DIG IN Go to 7:25 to learn about April’s process for making sure Build Institute reflects the local Detroit community it is intended to serve. Her approach is so simple and so effective.   At 12:05 April goes on to describe an emerging trend that is really important in the reinvention space.   TAKEAWAYS It takes a community to activate ideas and build a successful business. Disruption is a solution, not a problem. A meaningful venture connects resources, ideas and information to an audience in need. The pop-up culture is a low-risk testing ground for innovators and entrepreneurs to try out new or reinvented products and services. Success looks different for different people

There's no other way to say it: Detroit can give you first-hand experience and unforgettable lessons that will make you re-examine what you thought you knew - about the city, about reinvention, and about your every day experiences. Jeanette Pierce, executive director of Detroit Experience Factory, has been letting the city be her teacher for more than a decade. In fact, she is living a reinvention lifestyle inspired by a place she has been familiar with since she was a kid. There is so much to learn from Jeanette's story, like her approach to entrepreneurship and her passion for her work, we dare you to listen to this podcast and not be curious to learn more about what you can learn from the people, places and projects in Detroit. QUOTE IT “As much as I know about Detroit, I’m still learning stuff every day.” (7:05) “We’ve had people come from all around the country to learn from the people, places and projects here - to see how we’ve (reinvented) outside the box...actually we’ve done it without a box at all.” (22:53) DIG IN Around 5:35 Jeanette talks about her experience growing up in Detroit and then returning after living abroad as a metaphor for discovering something new in a place where you thought you knew it all. Jeanette has a really good description at 10:25 about why experiencing Detroit is something that “you can’t Google.” Then at 18:35 she uses one of her beloved metaphors to illustrate how quickly change began springing up on the streets of Detroit, like popcorn. TAKEAWAYS 1- Coming at an old idea in a new way (in Jeanette’s case, experiencing Detroit on foot) can give way to a new understanding of something you thought you understood. 2 - Adding realistic but firm deadlines helps motivate you to stay on track and keep working toward your goal. 3 - There is a difference between doing research and getting first-hand experience. 4 - Change usually takes on a popcorn effect; first it starts slow and steady, then begins popping faster and more sporadically. 5 - Detroit is a working laboratory for people who are curious about how to nurture a change-oriented environment with room to grow and do.
