Successful entrepreneurship sets off a chain reaction, encouraging other entrepreneurs to iterate upon and ultimately propagate innovation to the point of “creative destruction,” rendering existing products, services, and business models obsolete. We've seen this domino of accelerating innovation at work in the private sector - and our public sector and civic institutions can't keep up. Hear from these policy entrepreneurs and civic innovators about how their work bridges the gap and changes the game.
Featuring Steven Olikara (President and Co-Founder, Millennial Action Project), Laura Weidman Powers (Co-founder and CEO, CODE2040), and Levar Stoney (Mayor, City of Richmond), moderated by Roger Dean Huffstetler (Senior Advisor, Hometown Summit) during the 2017 Hometown Summit at the Sixth Annual Tom Tom Founders Festival (tomtomfest.com).

![Jaclyn Corin - 2019 Tom Tom Youth Summit Keynote
At Tom Tom 2019, Jaclyn Corin described the experience of transforming tragedy into social action. A student from Parkland, Florida, Corin survived a mass shooting that killed 17 of her classmates and teachers. Immediately, she—and the entire Parkland community—was tasked with defining a new normal.
Less than a week after the shooting, Corin mobilized 100 of her classmates and brought them on a lobbying trip to their State Capital. Soon after, she continued her advocacy and became a lead organizer of the March For Our Lives, one of the largest youth-led protests in U.S. history, where about 1 million people joined…[the] fight.” Recently accepted to Harvard, Corin remains in constant contact with student leaders from around the country, organizing local events and voter registration pushes.
