Episode 14 — Family Legacy, AI, EverQuest, and the “Food or Poison” Test

Welcome to Episode 14 of Cory Thinks Out Loud.

Yes… I accidentally call it Episode 13 near the end of the video.
No… I’m not re-recording a 42-minute podcast. 😅

In this episode I talk about:

• Shoutouts to the EverQuest Wolf Pack and Kazmodon’s birthday
• Playing a rap track I made for the Enchanters
• Digging through old boxes, journals, and accounting homework
• The business strategy simulation from Cal State Dominguez Hills
• How that experience helped me land my first finance job
• My great-great-grandfather’s trunk from Fort Garland, New Mexico Territory (1875)
• Thoughts on AI, hiring systems, and why resumes might be broken
• My “Food or Poison” kitchen test using AI to analyze ingredient labels

This episode ended up being almost exactly 42 minutes, so shoutout to Douglas Adams and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy —
the answer to life, the universe, and everything. 🌌
