A simple but groovy reminder: “Don’t Worry, Be Happy”. Our attitudes often shape our realities around us. #spreadpositivity

Here are some awesome ways to ‘easily’ cut veggies like Michelin Chefs – one of many “kitchen hacks” I’ve shared here over the years after working in restaurants for over fifteen years in a “past life”.

But to put a more recent Cory Warfield spin on it, it’s easy to see how AI like what powers the apple-picking drones I shared here the other day and robots like the Boston Dynamics, Tesla and others I (and many others, I should mention) could soon be able to automate this prep work, and likely other work cooks and chefs do worldwide.

“A.I. will take all the jobs” is really not so far-fetched, as it’s now actively augmenting roles in virtually every industry and still in its nascent days. The question is: WHAT WILL WE DO ABOUT IT? In my assessment, the only viable solution/answer is UNIVERSAL BASIC INCOME (U.B.I.).

Blockchain can help with this substantially, as well as help us know what is “real” and what’s generated by A.I. etc. in this emergent new world.

One thing is clear – things are changing are we need to be forward thinking, proactive, responsible, visionary and unified in these coming times.

Let’s have a conversation about this in the comments below. And if you have any kitchen/food hacks or other awesome tips, feel free to share them here too. TOGETHER WE RISE.

One thing that’s changed with the shift to ‘work from home’ is having lunch with our ‘peeps’. The lunch table used to be where some good networking, bonding, gossiping, and Pinky and the Brain style planning of taking over the world took place.

Are you back to the office, working from home, or a hybrid? (Hybrid workers may have a new meaning soon with all the advancements in AI and robots 😆).

If you’re not back to the office, I’d love to know if it’s back to “business as usual”; and if not I’d love to know if you miss it.

The workscape is definitely changing, and knowing how others feel about it will help us all create the “work of the future” that we all actually want!

A couple amazing “digital nomads” who I admire and highly recommend knowing/connecting with are Romita Bulchandani and Wes Pearce. Romita is a genuine “business shamen” helping companies find their souls and professionals tap into a myriad of powers, practices and more to level up in business, and Wes helps people live and thrive as digital nomads like he’s been doing for quite some time now.

If you have some digital nomads in your life helping others who you recommend please tag them below as well. TOGETHER WE RISE!

‘From ball boy to MVP’, Giannis Antetokounmpo proves we all have the capability to work our way to the top of our chosen professions.

The NBA’s new MVP Trophy will be named after Michael Jordan, with whom Giannis already shares the honor of being 2 of 3 players ever to be both MVP and Defensive Player of the Year. Maybe Giannis will win the Michael Jordan MVP trophy too??

Too all those putting in the work now to excel and shine in the near future: I see you and salute you. If becoming a business influencer is part of your gameplan, I’m always here to help — I’m now selling video courses in addition to my 1:1 coaching. DM me for details.

Thanks for reading and engaging with this post. Cheers to Antetokounmpo (born: Giannis Sina Ugo Adetokunbo) — your hustle, ambition, drive, talent (and 7-foot stature) are impressive, and motivational, you’re a force to be reckoned with!

Rumi reminds: “You are not a drop in the ocean; you are the entire ocean in a drop”. I could watch this all day. Enjoy!

Is this what going back to the office will look and feel like? A good heartwarming chuckle.

As the “waiter turned entrepreneur” of LinkedIn turned Chief Connector here, I LOVE offering the following HIGH PAYING seasonal job to my network.

If you have any previous experience in HOSPITALITY or customer service, live in Florida or are able to travel there for about a month commitment (before the holidays), are an independent thinker and want to make a lot of money (thousands per week plus stipends) check out this recent post by Shawn Nason for MOFI (Boutique Design Firm):

https://lnkd.in/erRWCpfW

Your job will effectively to interface with people to make their experience and life better. How cool is that? No selling, CRM, tech-stack, KPIs (other than smiles!) or technical “know-how” required.

There are quite a few of these seasonal positions open, starting imminently. They will likely all close in the next several days however, as it’s THAT GOOD of an opportunity. I hope post is a blessing to some who see it. Feel free to comment, like, or share it with your network if you think it might be valuable.

It’s hard to bring us down when we spread our wings & live our truths! Have a “fly” weekend, my friends.

We’re capable of engineering anything we can imagine. This simple apparatus looks so fun & liberating! Btw if you’re not aware of LinkedIn Learning yet it’s a well desigened platform that’s been changing my life recently, that I highly recommend.

I’ve learned a lot from video courses taught by Jonathan Reichental, Ph.D. on blockchain & NFTs & have been able to go further down the rabbit holes upon the foundation I got going through them as well as from my sherpa, Majid Zafer - Sustainability As A Service. Once you’ve passed exams & gone through the courses you can display the certification on your profile here, use that to join amazing projects, get hired for new amazing opportunities & more —

I’ve now been speaking at virtual conferences & just joining the Global AI Hub as their thought leader in NFTs & web3. Their initiative 10million.AI is empowering kids & adults around the world, teaching coding with free courses available & is helping create our new future for us all - check them out & join here: https://lnkd.in/gVwc7Tug. Thanks Zeynep Akyıldız & team for bringing me on board! I’m a big fan of what you’re doing. I’m also joining BTEC as their NFT & metaverse entrepreneur-in-residence. THIS STUFF REALLY WORKS! Thanks #LinkedinLearning!

What I’ve been learning about blockchains, web3, metaverse, decentralization, mining, launchpads, & NFTs has me understanding why this is an emerging trillions of dollars market. I’m eager to be gearing up to launch our first #CC: Corycards on snifty.io this month as we keep making progress behind the scenes on the Coryconnects business Metaverse. More on that soon - STAY TUNED!

If you’re not into nfts/DAOs/etc yet but have been getting curious, ask me anything in the comments & I’ll try my best to answer them for you. Also feel free to drop any knowledge or advice you have as well. I’ll share my LinkedIn Learning certificates & a few of my personal NFTs I love. If you’re hodling any & care to share, please do! I’m always looking to get involved in new projects. Shill away!

I wish YOU an amazing week ahead. Thanks for checking out my post.

☮️&💗,

Cory

How do you stay happy? (Sound on!) Happy Friday, all!

Would you create a masterpiece knowing it will certainly be destroyed imminently? When we create for the experience & the moment — magic can ensue.

These ‘snow drawings’ are the work of Simon Beck (IG: @simonbeck_snowart), who’s been doing them since 2004 around the world. He uses math & draws on his years of experience as an engineer to make these in the snow (& sometimes sand), creating intricate works of art that are majestic to behold from both the land & air. He is often commissioned to make them & he has over 70k followers on Insta & 275k fans on Facebook! It seems that even though his masterpieces are fleeting (often ‘erased’ by wind or other elements in mere hours), there is both an audience & apetite for his creations.

My hope is that someone/anyone reading this right now who has a gift they’ve been holding back from the world “breaks the ice” & decided to start putting themselves out there: YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT COULD HAPPEN.

I like these geometric & granular pieces - heralded as “the world’s largest snow paintings” — they remind me of crop circles. I’d consider having him do a Coryconnects logo in the snow — would make for some cool content & branding!

I hope everyone who’s digging their cars out & otherwise dealing with all the snow the Nor’easter & season has bestowed upon us is enjoying it, or at least able to deal with it without it adversely impacting your days/lives. Happy Lunar New Year to those celebrating the beginning of the Year of the Tiger (新年快樂).

Sending my best to you & yours. I hope you enjoy these creations of Simon Beck’s as much as I do. Season’s Greetings!

Are robots getting so good, or too good*? We’re all rightfully talking about the implications of AI lately, but the reality is that all technology is advancing at light speed, and there are many ensuing ramifications.

3D-printing, quantum computing, flying personal vehicles and drones, exoskeletons, nanobots, augmented reality, decentralization via blockchain, space tech, wearable technologies, healthcare tech and yes, AI are all innovating at phenomenal speed, and there are so many cool crossovers beween many of them —

but without a doubt we need to make sure we understand the technologies and implications, and build with humans’ well-being, sustainability, safety and experience as mission-critical considerations and non-negotiables.

I’d love to hear your thoughts.

(*this is CGI and not real. But there are robots able to do parkour already, so this isn’t a stretch, and the intention is for this video and post to spark a conversation).

Today I’m celebrating 1,000 followers here on LinkedIn… twice! Please join me in celebrating both Clara Bruno, RN & Mysty Langford!

Both women are amazing people, professionals & newly active here, & are putting out great content. I encouraged both of them to get active here & am glad they let me talk them into it.

Clara just passed her national board certification & is making the world a better & healthier place as a nurse in addition to being on her local school board, having been & presently working at cool tech companies, she’s an amazing mother & is finding time to network here somehow as well. She also just had her first post exceed 1,000 likes too! Please connect with her & show her some love.

I met Mysty while I was mentoring at the Founder Institute in her earlier days of building Bleat! which is digital marketing meets the physical world vis a vis trucks - I highly encourage everyone to follow both her & her hashtag #missfounder as well as Bleat! - they’re doing some really cool stuff.

I’m also grateful to two more women doing amazing things for their networks & the platform: Panda Sarika & Nusrat Zahan Nuzee both of whom I also highly recommend following & connecting with here.

Also, I’m trying to get in shape as I’m at the age where if you “don’t use it you lose it” — & although I’d love if one of my dogs could train me like this amazing canine in this video (source: Imgur) I’d be remiss if I didn’t shout-out my strengthsfinder coach Alissa Daire Nelson who’s motivating me to finally take action on working out too. I highly recommend her as well! Every good coach needs a coach & she’s uniquely able to help people like me level-up leveraging their natural strengths.

Lastly, if you’re not familiar with InfluencerActive yet, it’s the worlds first B2B business influencer marketplace — we’re having fun helping brands amplify their message & reach here on LinkedIn & beyond.

I love celebrating people, growth, milestones, here personally as well as on the Coryconnects community pages. If you or someone you know is celebrating some wins, please let us know in the comments below.

Wishing everyone a great week ahead.

How we suit up matters, doesn’t it? Check out this material that can make a real-life Iron Man suit for those of us ready to take on any challenge in 2024.

Although it was invented 25 years ago (‘99) by Richard Palmer (🇬🇧) & has seen adoption since for usecases primarily in protection & performance, this non-Newtonian, orange, gooey substance, ‘D30’, goes from soft & flexible to becoming as ‘hard as steel’ when struck with force, absorbing & dispersing energy (as the video depicts). A full-body suit of this with a flying jetpack could make many of our childhood dreams come true & it has profound implications for security/military, extreme sports, exploration, & more, including potentially making androids nearly indestructible (scary!).

D30 may seem somewhat familiar, as it’s similar to another substance many of us played with back in science class: Oobleck, which is made from cornstarch & water. It’s also a liquid at rest & solid under pressure; both D30 & Oobleck are prime examples of non-Newtonian fluids, which behave differently under stress compared to common fluids like water & oil.

But now to shift gears & jump 25 years from D30 ‘99 to now in ‘24: I’ve been discussing profound advancements in material science (due to AI) a lot recently & it ties in so well here. Recently 2.2 million new theoretical materials were discovered by Google DeepMind GNoME, among them 380,000 predicted to be stable (feasible), marking a massive leap in potential materials available for future technologies. This AI-driven discovery process is like having a supercharged brainstorming session, where possibilities are explored at an unprecedented scale & Google as well as others are ramping up their quantum computing programs this year which will expedite all this to no end.

DeepMind's GNoME currently uses advanced algorithms to predict the stability of these new materials, a crucial factor in determining their usefulness. From potential new superconductors to next-gen battery technology, these discoveries are set to redefine the landscape of materials science. Imagine what types of materials like D30 are yet to be discovered out of the nearly 400k new materials! Allegedly a number of the new materials have actually already been created/produced in a lab following the discovery of them late last year (recently).

I love constantly learning about new tech & innovations & will be at CES next week to report on & learn about as much as I can — I’ll definitely be “suited up”!

For those looking to “suit up” here on LinkedIn to get perpetual inbound qualified opportunities (leads, jobs, referrals, employees, sales, engagements etc) by going viral routinely & fast tracking their audience here to 100K followers this year, I’m opening up 2 more coaching spots for this month. DM or comment below to learn more. TOGETHER WE RISE!

“If at first you don’t succeed, try, try, try again.” ~ Thomas H. Palmer, via Edward Hickson (c 1850); or possibly Robert The Bruce (c 1314). Still applicable today!

Wow - how cool is this? If anyone caught this live I’d love to hear your experience!

Today was Day One of the Air and Water Show in Chicago, and earlier I shared a video of a Blue Angel fighter jet breaking the sound barrier, creating a shock wave just over the ocean. The video resonates with many of you.

Today I’d like to share a similar phenomenon on an even larger scale. This is a SpaceX Falcon 9’s “Twilight Effect” from several weeks ago. Similarly to the Blue Angel footage I shared 24-hours ago, this is the result of perfect timing and conditions. Enjoy!

(When the market conditions and timing are just right, startups, investments, technology and partnerships can be thos explosive and amazing too! Have you ever experienced something of this magnitude?)

For my fellow “nerds”, this video is demonstrating “a twilight phenomenon (which) is produced when exhaust particles from missile or rocket propellant left in the vapor trail of a launch vehicle condense, freeze, and then expand in the less dense upper atmosphere. The exhaust plume, which is suspended against a dark sky, is then illuminated by reflective high-altitude sunlight through dispersion, which produces a spectacular, colorful effect when seen at ground level” (via Wikipedia).

Please note: I am not a financial advisor and I don’t offer financial advice. I am enthralled with web3, the metaverse, quantum computing, virtual and augmented reality, decentralization, blockchain, connections and futurism.

Have a great week ahead. My best to you and yours,

In business sometimes we can do things for ourselves, but usually it’s best to find people who can help!

Today I’m featuring a friend who’s found a great way to help American business owners who’ve been impacted by Covid. Larry Goldstein has helped a number of people in my circle to get checks FROM the IRS to displace lost revenue. Restaurants are a sweet spot as they were hit so hard, but many industries qualify. This is similar to the PPP loans the government gave out, but is directly from the IRS and are typically a larger amount (based on number of employees).

The IRS notoriously takes a long time, and although this particular program is lesser-known, this time of year is burdensome on them, so if you qualify and are interested — the time to move on this is NOW! (this is all at no upfront cost to the business owners). Check out Larry’s profile for more info, to easily see if you’d likely qualify, and to follow him as he’s a good guy with great content.

He is also looking to partner with lenders, CPAs, and other financial professionals as there’s quite a bit of referral money available. If you’re a business owner, in the financial services industry, or have friends who may qualify and be able to avail of Larry’s offering, please reach out to his directly. (This program is limited to business in the USA, as a point of clarity).

I wish you an excellent Sunday and week ahead. If you know of any other people doing awesome work to help others, please drop a comment highlighting them as well. TOGETHER WE RISE!
