I Like That Katy Perry Went to Space. Here's Why.
As one of the handful of female CEOs in aerospace this is what I have to say about the all-female Blue Origin flight. Anything that has even an inkling of a chance to inspire a young girl to look into aerospace as a career has my stamp of approval, regardless of if it was in promotion of space tourism or anything else. I am extremely disappointed and disheartened that after decades of fighting for women in STEM, and fighting for women to be successful, that something that sho

The Data Is In. We Hate Chatbots, and Here's Why
I had an extremely frustrating and embarrassing string of moments today that almost caused me to lose a student...and AI is to blame. It started with a cracked rim. It ended with me angrily and loudly screaming "Hello!!?" into a dead receiver after a customer service rep in India hung up on me...accidentally in front of one of my guitar students and her grandmother. In between was a litany of failed attempts at getting a human being on the phone for several companies...eBay,

Tuesday June 6 2023: Kalpavriksha Tree
Woke up doing my SAVERS. Spent some time last night creating the website for World Chronicle. I'm planning on forming it into my way of connecting with anyone I want through interview requests. I want it to be a machine that I can use to interview anyone I want, to include people such as heads of state and leading business innovators. I'm still reading "Becoming Supernatural" by Dr. Joe Dispenza. Today I read about how you can draw events to you because future events have not

My Precious: The Challenge in Not Commingling as a Crypto CEO
As many of you already know, The U.S. government just indicted Samuel Bankman-Fried, the founder and former CEO of leading crypto exchange FTX, for a series of financial crimes involving the siphoning off of billions of dollars of customer funds. SBF, as he is widely known, caught both the crypto and traditional financial world by surprise.

Life Lessons by Krystal Khali
1. Come to terms with reality. A few facts of reality are: You will die. People you love will die and you will have to go to their funeral and it’s going to be extremely painful. Time goes by faster than you think. The benefits of coming to terms with reality are: You won’t be as hung up on the little things, you will take fuller strides in pursuing your true goals because you aren’t afraid of death (since its going to happen either way), you will be less effected by other

When You Feel Like a Fraud Even Though You're Not
During 2018, my first successful business took off. As a lifelong entrepreneur-wannabe, this was extremely exciting for me, despite working 7 days a week and never taking time for myself. I was 33, and it was the first time I could buy a new couch, buy a proper bedroom set, a large screen TV, and a vacuum that actually worked. I even hired my mom to help with management, and I adopted two huskies. I was grossing about $1 Million per year, with my personal salary being above s

Elon's Killing Animals Now?
I read today that Elon Musk's tendency to steamroll others could have resulted in the needless deaths of thousands of test animals at Neuralink. I am somewhat of a fangirl, I must admit. After all, I went through the trouble of getting a vanity license for my C7 Corvette that reads "MRSELON". (I know, I couldn't be more of a dork.) For me, it is the myth of Elon that is more important than the actual human being himself. The tech world and all the techie-wannabes (myself incl

Mighty Mitochondria
After reading about mitochondria, the electron transport chain, and the ATP synthase rotor pump, I became very interested about the amazing energy producing abilities of living cells. I was also very impressed that the diagrams in our textbook depicting the ATP synthase rotor pump, are fairly accurate representations of the actual physical structure of this complex protein in cells. After searching a bit about recent research regarding the energy producing abilities of mitoch
