On the power of “Yes” and the magic of community collaboration - a throwback to a day that defines innovation and resilience. Ten years ago, as dawn broke and I made my way back from a workshop I had led in Eagle Pass, and while on the road a call from Bastrop—where I had the honor of working at the time—changed the course of my day and, in many ways, my approach to opportunities. I remember this day because It was International Happiness Day, and a friend a and Bastrop residnet called with an idea: “Could we shoot a video set to the tune of “Happy,” a song that was trending at the time to celebrate International Happiness Day?” Honestly, I thought, “It’s 7 in the morning. I’m driving a rented Prius four hours from Bastrop, and you want to shoot, produce, and post a video today?” So, naturally, I said l, “Yes,” because that’s what Super Dave Quinn would do. The logistics seemed daunting. Me, miles away driving in a rented Prius, with the day already in full swing. But the essence of innovation isn’t in the ‘how’ but the ‘yes.’ “Yes,” I found myself saying. Yes to the unpredictable, yes to the seemingly impossible, because that’s what we do. The video below is more than a memory. It’s a reminder of the power in embracing opportunities, no matter how unexpected. It wasn’t about the how; it was about the will. And as the day unfolded, so did the path to making it happen, guided by a community’s heart and hustle. This experience taught me countless lessons, but the most profound was the incredible feats we can achieve when we foster a culture of yes. It’s about more than just agreeing; it’s about opening doors to possibilities, about communities and individuals coming together to turn a vision into reality. This video, crafted in a single day, stands as a vibrant reminder of what’s possible when we unite in creativity and purpose. As you watch, I hope you’re reminded of the power within you to embrace opportunities, lead with optimism, and build something meaningful together. Let’s carry this spirit of possibility into every challenge, every project, every day. Here’s to saying “Yes” - to opportunities, to community, and to making the impossible possible. Watch to the end to see all the folks who said Yes and helped make it happen. Bonus points: drop a comment on the investment you think it took to produce this. https://lnkd.in/d7GTJVNY #SuperDaveQuinn #Innovation #Community #BastropTX #TexasStrong #EconDev #YesMan #Texas #econdev #TexasEDConnection #superdave #d1experts
