November Newsletter 🦃
Welcome to my Newsletter! I'm Carlos Jarquin, an innovator at The Knowledge Society, where I have the opportunity to develop my passions and work with an exceptional community that can potentially make a change in the world, and most importantly, investing & living in the present moment!
Speaking of living in the present moment. . .
What have I been living in this past month? 🤔
Future Harvard Business Graduate? 🎓
One session in The Knowledge Society gave us an opportunity to review and analyze a Harvard Business Case Study where Alibaba, an e-commerce company in China, was facing regarding their rural outreach. At first, the thought of reading approximately 20 pages of content was exhausting. But after analyzing the paper in-depth, I realized that there is more than just words and graphs. First of all, there's a LOT of number crunching, root-cause analysis, and our directors would cold-call us from nowhere.
But what’s the point of doing this case if I can’t apply it in real life!? . . . Right?
TKS Consulting Challenge 😷
This is the real deal! For the past month, TKS gave us the opportunity to apply our knowledge from the Harvard Business Case Study and use it to consult with a real company and solve problems! TKS Virtual has been working with PathCheck, an open-sourced digital contact tracing platform, to reach 50% statewide adoption in either Louisiana or Minnesota with the release of their new exposure notification app. My team has been targeting Louisiana for the past month and we finally finished our deck!
Bet you can’t wake up at 5 A.M.! 🌅
If CEO’s wake up at 5 without any problems, I can also wake up at 5 a.m.! For the sat month, I was placed in a team of 5 people, and our goal is to take a photo of ourselves each morning at 5 a.m. for the next month! But here’s the catch: There are points to be earned for every photo taken! The team who ends up with the most points wins TKS Merchandise (Sweet!)! I love waking up at 5 a.m. because I feel so productive and I can achieve my top priorites for the day!
The Experiment Digital Almunus Reunion!
Before The Knowledge Society, I joined a different virtual program called The Experiment Digital! The Experiment Digital connects future communnity leaders from the United States of America, Iraq, Algeria, Yemen, and other countries in the Middle East and North Africa Region, preparing participants to be more civically engaged and lead change. This fully funded eight-week summer virtual experience teaches students to formulate and implement service projects in their local communities! Just last week, I was finally able to reconnect with some old peers and friends from the program! While I did not take a photo (unfortunately), check out their official website if you want to lead change in your community!
That’s nice, Carlos! But what else have you invested in for the past month?
👨🏽💻 Carlos’s Personal Updates 👨🏽💻
Focus Time!
I have decided over the course of this month to put Space Technologies on the side and begin with Quantum Computing! To grasp my head around the concepts of Quantum Computing, I made an article about it for anyone to understand!
So, what will you invest in for the next month, Carlos? 💭
Start a fitness channel at TKS Virtual! If TKS teaches us how to build and develop the mindset, we should build and develop the body as well! Let the gains begin! 💪🏽
I bought books on Calculus, Linear Algebra, and Quantum Computing, and my goal is to master the concepts as quickly and efficiently as possible! And that starts now! 📓
I want to learn more about Quantum Mechanics and Particle Physics on the side in order to prepare myself for my Space Technolgies Focus after completing my Quantum Computing Focus! Shooting stars, here we come! 🌠
Create more articles for the average person AND articles that are very technical. I love learning complicated concepts and explaining them in a straightforward way. But it doesn’t hurt to explain complicated concepts either. 📑
Did you know that Halley’s Comet takes about 75 years to be visible in the sky from Earth? Thankfully, you only have to wait 30 days for the next newsletter from Carlos Jarquin! 😉
