Genori McCormack

Genori McCormack is the founder of Creative House Consulting, a company born out of her own journey toward clarity and purpose. After taking a life-changing 3-month sabbatical, Genori discovered the profound impact of stepping away from the hustle and reconnecting with herself. This time of reflection not only opened her spiritual eyes but also helped her gain the clarity she needed to take a leap into entrepreneurship. Inspired by this personal transformation, she’s now on a mission to help others create lives that are balanced, intentional, and full of meaning—both inside and out.

As a first-generation American with family from Panama, Genori’s drive comes from the sacrifices her family made to give her the opportunities she now has. She’s passionate about helping people build healthier lifestyles—physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually—because she believes that true wellness is the foundation for a thriving life.

With a background in chemistry, commercial real estate, and the creative arts, Genori blends creativity with practicality to design spaces that nurture well-being and inspire productivity. She’s here to help you reconnect with what truly matters, whether through the environment you work in or the way you approach life. For Genori, it’s all about creating spaces and experiences that allow people to flourish—because when we’re healthy, we can truly thrive.

When she’s not working, you’ll find Genori traveling, seeking inspiration from new places and cultures. Her goal is simple: to help others live with intention and purpose, so they can create a life that feels as good as it looks.

Hey, I’m Phil — a creative strategist, business builder, and course creator. I’ve been through the trenches of B2B marketing and branding, so I know firsthand that the “old ways” just don’t cut it anymore.

My superpower? Merging creativity with strategy. Whether it’s transforming a LinkedIn profile into a magnet for opportunities or designing courses that truly resonate, I help businesses elevate their brand and create authentic relationships that build trust.

And it doesn't end there. In my community of Fort Collins, CO, I'm deep into curating events that fuse business flair with local culture — that's where the magic happens. We're talking growth, we're talking community, we're talking the good stuff that keeps us all connected.

Shaun Mohamed

My name is Shaun Mohamed, and I have been interested in technology since I was a child. By exploring internet tech forums, I discovered Bitcoin in 2010. In 2014, I began investing in cryptocurrency and started mini study groups both online and at my college. In 2017, I created a Facebook group named "Urban Cryptocurrency" aimed at empowering people from underprivileged neighborhoods. Moving forward, we migrated to Telegram for our research. In 2021, I attended NFTNYC, which was a life-changing experience. Right after, I started hosting my own networking events focused on Web3, which led to numerous opportunities. These included hosting Web3 events for companies, securing well-paying positions as a brand ambassador, and becoming an Ambassador for a country called "Kingdom of Kush," which is integrating blockchain into its society. In 2024, I launched an NFT project named "Nyc Squirrels NFT" on the Solana blockchain. On my spare time I post Youtube Videos related to blockchain.
