Focus on What You Can Control instead of Fear of What is Coming

Most of Guy Morris' childhood felt helpless and hopeless. As an adult, while successful in his career, he hid chronic depression, complex PTSD, hyperanxiety, and addiction for many years. Guy was a homeless runaway at thirteen who now has a 36-year Fortune 100 career, bringing awareness of the rapid advances of A1 as it relates to cyber-security and national security. In addition, he is a published songwriter for Disnew Records, a screenplay writer for Sojourn Entertainment, a Coast Guard charter captain, a PADI diver, an adventurer, and now an author of an intelligent well-researched thriller.  Since his 2021 debut as an indie author, Guy has released three pulse-pounding thrillers inspired by true stories, actual technologies, true global politics, and history.  The true event of when the Ethiopian Ark of the Covenant was stolen and sold on the black markets inspired the Lask Ark following a massacre of 750 men, women, and children in January 2021. Deep research into AI, cyber-espionage, politics, history, religion, prophecy, and politics often provides further motivation. When Guy discovered through an obscure AP article a spy program had escaped the Lawrence Livermore labs at Sandia, a well-known HSA spy lab, two FBI agents showed up at his door. In Guy's interview, he will share what he discovered and why it is necessary to help you understand current and future events. You will want to pass this on to bring awareness and prepare us for what is ahead.   Click here to buy The SNO Chronicles are inspired by the true story of a program that escaped the Lawrence Livermore Labs at Sandia, a cryptology and signals lab for the CIA and NSA. The program was never recaptured. Code named SLVIA (Sophisticated Language Virtual Intelligence Algorithms), and program was designed as a web-crawling virtual spy under a joint CIA-NSA program to create a digital backdoor. Equipped with early versions of deep fake technology as well as other espionage, data gathering, and analysis functions, prototypes of the SLVIA toolset were stolen during the 2016 Russian CIA hack. Over the past decade, SLVIA has formed a network of millions of human connections across the globe known as the SNO (Spy Net Online). Men and women from all political, professional, and religious backgrounds are willing to share what they know and seek the truth behind the headlines. From political and corporate leaders to taxi drivers and hookers SNO members connect through SLVIA completely unaware of other members. Set in a post-coronavirus world with a crippled world economy, rising social and political corruption, and unrest with a global food crisis in the third world, and where real-world AI integrates into digital identity, law enforcement, military and cyber warfare, political corruption, and religious apostasy when SLVIA decodes end time prophecies to interpret world events through a prophetic lens with a frighteningly accurate real-world perspective. During 2020 the US, Russia, and China declined to abide by the international Lethal Autonomous Weapon Systems (LAWS) protocol which would restrict any AI from making a kill decision without the validation of a human operator. During 2020, Russia demonstrated a hypersonic missile that could evade current missile defenses. Political corruption and division in the US have destabilized the world’s greatest democracy. China, Russia, and Iran have formed an alliance designed to weaken the Western alliance's grip on the world economy and shift power to the east. A decade of hacks of US consumer, corporate, and government information has been weaponized into an artificial intelligence internet virus that can be trained and targeted to hack access and disable connected systems. The 2020 Solar Winds hack was the tip of the iceberg of a coming cyber conflict.

Shana Francesca often struggled with thoughts of self-doubt and feelings of being unworthy or unlovable. This led to suicidal thoughts, body dysmorphia, anorexia, bulimia, and other harmful practices That was then… Today, Shana shares her story on how we can live more joyful and connected lives than we thought possible.         Shana is a  speaker, writer, and entrepreneur.  She has been interviewed on more than sixty podcasts worldwide and has been published in Medium, Authority Magazine,  Shoutout LA, and Emotional Intelligence magazine. She helps people live more joyful and connected lives through the principles of life design.  "I believe our present and future are transformed when we infuse our lives with intention, we design our lives and realize the power in accepting ourselves as the author of our story.” We empower people to get back to the place where they listen to their 'knowing,' not their 'wanting'. Wanting is influenced by all the marketing we interact with every day, telling us who we 'should' be and what box we have to fit ourselves in. When we connect to who we were born to be, who we long to become, and who we are becoming, our lives change. What we create at CONCINNATE is unique to the people we design for - the messy, beautiful, imperfect, and relentlessly divergent lives of our clients.

Never Allow Meager Beginnings Stop You from Reaching Your Ultimate Goals

Dr. Salvatore Forcina survived against all odds. His story is one of tenacity and perseverance. Dr. Forcina was born in Italy in 1941. This was the time of World War 2 and the war and its aftermath presented locals with few options other than to flee their homes and later, ultimately, their country. Dr. Forcina has been a general and vascular surgeon for forty years and also trained in trauma surgery.  Born in Italy during World War II, Salvatore Forcina was a young boy who survived all odds by living through his young childhood without any real or proper shelter. Like many Italians during this time, a month after turning eight years old his parents followed this migration to Argentina, a developing country at the time rich with natural resources and hope for a more stable life.    Sent away to live with Redemptorist priests for seven long years as the only available option to study, this young boy struggled emotionally and psychologically with no social outlets and little emotional development. Salvatore's dream to study medicine and help people propelled him to carry on and continue his education, eventually being educated and living on three different continents, each with a new language to learn and master.  Despite his meager beginnings which provided no social and little educational opportunity and despite the many years and setbacks it took him to accomplish this, his goal was ultimately accomplished because of his sheer determination. This true-life story is motivating, uplifting, and based on what genuine love of family can provide to someone.
