Be the light and give the gift of laughter. The world is not a perfect place, and if we need proof of this, we can usually turn to social media. There's a negative connotation that comes with social media because of how negative it has become. But where there's a challenge, there's an opportunity! How [...]
1) Watch this video: This is a 3-minute clip from a recent keynote about being the wise owl instead of the squawking parrot. 2) Check out this app: Gemini Photos. It's really cool. It scans your phone's photo library and helps you delete duplicates and blurry photos. In less than 10 minutes, I had deleted over 300 [...]

I don't know about you, but my bracket was busted before it began. On the contrary, if Baylor wins, my wife and daughter will win the whole thing – gotta love March Madness! Yesterday I was asked to do a customized virtual workshop for a group of high-end kitchen & bath dealers – so I [...]
I have been a huge Dale Carnegie fan since I took the course back in 2004. His principles have impacted my life both professionally and personally, and I am a firm believer that they are just as relevant today as ever before. When it comes to creating compelling content, this Dale Carnegie Principle should be [...]
Prior to the pandemic, I was a habitual Starbucks visitor. People would jokingly refer to the local Starbucks as "Corey's Starbucks," as they'd see me there, in my same chair, day in and day out.
