Kinect M1

05/01/2026

The world doesn’t change through programs.
It changes through people—and the connections between them.

That’s what Kinected Communities Conversations are all about.

On May 11, we’re sitting down with Dustin Delsman (UA Local 400) for a real conversation about the pipe trades—
not just what the work is, but how someone actually finds their way into it.

Because people don’t need more information…
they need real stories, real people, and real access.

💡 What you’ll hear:

- A personal path into the trades
- What the work actually looks like (beyond the stereotypes)
- How apprenticeships, pay, and long-term careers come together

Come be in the room. Ask questions. Make a connection.

✨ This is what it looks like when a community shows up for its youth. ✨

Last week at the NE WI Kinect Collaborative Hub, something powerful happened.

Students from Northeast Wisconsin stepped into the room to share their ideas — not knowing exactly what would happen next…

And this group?
They leaned in.

➡️ They listened.
➡️ They asked thoughtful questions.
➡️ They offered mentorship, connections, and real next steps.

No competition.
No tearing ideas down.
Just people coming together to build, support, and believe in what’s possible.

🦈 This was our Shark Tank Launch Lab — reimagined.

Not about “winning,” but about:

✅ Growing confidence
✅ Expanding networks
✅ Turning ideas into action
✅ And making sure young people — especially in rural communities — feel seen, supported, and connected

What we witnessed wasn’t just an event…

It was the beginning of something bigger.

💡 Ideas sparked
🤝 Connections made
🚀 Next steps already in motion

This is how we build the future — together.

Most people don’t realize this…

Kinect M1 isn’t just “hosting events.”
We’re building real pathways between youth, communities, and industries.

One way we do that?
👉 We bring in people actually doing the work.

Our Kinected Communities Conversations are about exposure— real stories, real journeys, real opportunities. Because when youth hear directly from someone in the field, things start to click: “I could see myself doing that.”

🎤 On March 30, we’re sitting down with Paul Saharsky at H and S Roofing LLC -
a local who’s grown a trusted, successful roofing company right here in Northeast WI.

This isn’t a presentation.
It’s a real conversation about:
✔ what the trades actually look like today
✔ how he got started
✔ what it takes to build something of your own
✔ what opportunities exist right now

This is how we connect dots. This is how pathways get built.

If you’re interested or curious - come be part of it.

What if the solutions to our biggest challenges were right around us… just disconnected?................................

We asked AI to visualize the work of Kinect M1.

On one side: silos, fragmentation, and systems that no longer serve people.
On the other: connection, collaboration, and communities co-creating better conditions for everyone.

works in the space between — helping people recognize their unique piece of the puzzle, see each other, and weave solutions no one could build alone.

Because when individuals begin to see their role in the bigger picture, something powerful happens.

The solutions were never missing — they were simply waiting to be ' '.

Real stories. Real work. Real pathways.

Join us for a grounded conversation with leaders in the trades — Kevin Foley & Dan Webster.

This is about people, purpose, and possibility.

Transformation doesn’t happen in silos.

It happens in spaces where people feel seen, trusted, and connected—
where learning, listening, and courage are possible.

At Kinect M1, we design and hold sacred spaces for communities to come together across difference, role, and sector—
because relationships are the infrastructure of lasting change.

Last week, Kinect M1 had the opportunity to share how the Vital Conditions for Well-Being are being stewarded in Northeast Wisconsin.

We presented our local application of the framework — not as a checklist, but as a shared language for systems alignment, relationship-building, and belonging.

We reflected on what’s working.
Where we still feel the stretch.
And what becomes possible when communities move from coordination to shared stewardship.

Grateful to be learning alongside national stewards like Rethink Health, The Rippel Foundation, US Venture Schmidt Family Foundation, and Basic Needs Giving Partnership (BNGP) — and for spaces that invite honesty, courage, and imagination.

This work is alive.
And it continues to ask more of all of us.

If your organization or community is exploring how to move beyond silos and into shared stewardship around the Vital Conditions, we’d love to connect and learn alongside you.

We hear this everywhere 🌍

From employers.
From educators.
From nonprofits.
From families and young people.

These aren’t failures of effort. They’re reminders that no one sector can carry the work alone.

At Kinect M1, our focus is on building shared language, aligned action, and meaningful collaboration — so progress becomes something we create together.

We help communities align, connect, and move forward ➡️ together.

Many of the challenges we face today feel impossible—
not because people don’t care,
but because systems weren’t designed to work together.

At Kinect M1, our work lives in the space between impossible → possible.

By building shared language, trust, and aligned action, we help communities move from fragmented efforts—
to coordinated impact.
