Corey's appearance in Yard Fitness's "Coverage" earned the production company Belding, Bronze Lion, and London Advertising Awards.
Corey has also been featured on the cover of the Wall Street Journal as well as in the New York Times, USA Today, Inc. Magazine, Forbes, and Wired.

Now, in addition to leading RTC and acting as the Publisher of Conscious Capitalism Press, Corey delivers keynotes, facilitates workshops, leads storytelling hours, and emcees events.
This "thing" that happened yesterday was the most amazing thing I have ever seen happen at a corporate sales conference. Never expected that in a million years.

Corey also creates experiences at events. Here he delivered a crowdsourced piece of slam poetry he wrote throughout a two day event based on anonymous submissions from attendees.
His team's artistic renderings of purpose driven poetry based on audience members were a huge hit at the Conscious Capitalism 2018 spring conference.
And RTC's Vulnerability Walls continue to fascinate audiences.
With hundreds of cotton stuffed snowballs, Corey has been known to create "Love-Infused" snowball fights.
Corey's game, Vulnerability is Sexy, is played at events around the country to help people deeply connect by sharing aspects of their lives they do not typically share.
