My Comics Feature The Issues People Struggle With These Days, And Here Are My 24 Best Works
I paint to stay sane in an insane world. Pop culture is no longer a mass media shared experience, but rather an all-too-alienating private interaction manipulated by powerful technology designed to dominate how we live, love, work, and think. Artificial intelligence influences who we date, what we consume, watch, and believe. I spent decades innovating and creating the very technologies that now control us.

Jay Samit: Time to embrace the impact of new technologies on the way we work, live and play
WITH half of all jobs disappearing over the next decade, your career is about to be disrupted (and that may be the best thing to ever happen to you). For all of the pundits that would have you worrying that automation and robots are coming for your job, they miss the potential that exponential technologies are bringing to how we work, live and play.
Will AI and the Exponential Technologies Transform Our World in 2019?
Predicting the future requires a fair amount of hubris, and it should therefore be met with more than an exabyte of skepticism. In past years, I’ve made some calls that have proved prescient; like predicting way back in 2011 that social media would determine the U.S. presidential election.

Successful business owners never stop learning and always stay open to innovation. There’s an easy way to tap into the ideas you need to grow your business and overcome your thorniest challenges: Read.

These restaurants are serving virtual food
Restaurants wanting to cash in on people increasingly sharing food photos are spicing up their menus with virtual cuisine that patrons can post across social media. To lift sales, fast food chains are turning to augmented reality to attract a new generation of customers. It’s a 21st century version of Sampuru, the Japanese custom of showcasing plastic food replica in restaurant windows.

How Virtual Reality Is Improving Trucker Safety for UPS and Other Suppliers
With U.S. workplace fatalities increasing seven percent last year, according to a recent Bureau of Labor Statistics report, many companies are looking to virtual reality technology to reverse this trend and improve worker safety. With truck driver deaths accounting for 40% of all worker fatalities in 2016, several companies have already initiated VR training simulations for truck drivers as a way of increasing safety for both drivers and the public with whom they share the roads.
Augmented Reality: How It's Disrupting the Supply Chain
Nearly everything we eat, wear and buy – from cranberries to crankshafts – moves through a supply chain. And businesses that help shepherd all those products along that chain account for an astounding 7.5% of U.S. GDP. Because of the high costs of moving goods from point A to point B, corporations are always on the lookout to save money in addition to improving service. Emerging technology may be an answer.
Virtual Reality: Motion Sickness May Be Avoided With New Innovation
A retching fact that consumers keep bringing up about virtual reality is that it makes them nauseous. The out-of-body experience of moving in a virtual world while staying motionless feels to many like standing on the deck of a ship in a stormy sea. With 25% to 40% of consumers saying they experience motion sickness, this industry’s projected growth to $108 billion in sales by 2021 according to DigiCapital may be off-balance.
Artificial Intelligence, Self-Driving Cars: Big Lessons at CES

Predicting the future requires hubris, and it should therefore be met with more than a terabyte of skepticism. In past years, I’ve made some calls that have proved prescient like predicting way back in 2011 that social media would determine the U.S. presidential election. Meanwhile, some took decades longer than I had foreseen such as my 1992 prediction that this new thing called the Internet would lead Hollywood studios to merge with telecommunications companies.
Robots, Chat Rooms, AI: VR Can Save Businesses Billions
With the potential congestion, delays, and hassles of airports around the holidays, virtual reality’s promise of telepresence is more needed than ever by weary business travelers. Of all the enterprise VR apps used by business today, telepresence has the greatest potential to save corporations billions while improving both productivity and the quality of employee’s lives. With more than 1 million VR headsets now selling per quarter, virtual reality telepresence is going mainstream.

Driving Your Car Will Soon Be Illegal
Driving a car will be illegal by 2030. Our economy will be severely impacted as millions of truck drivers, cabbies and delivery people are put out of work. In this era of endless innovation, man's century-long relationship with the automobile is about to be permanently disrupted. The reason has nothing to do with millennials, Uber, climate change or improvements in mass transportation.
The 5 Steps Needed To Launching A Product | StartUs Magazine
If you’ve raised your funding, built your product and now feel you are ready to launch your business, you’ve already made a fatal mistake and didn’t even notice. Too many first-time entrepreneurs don’t start engaging with their potential consumers until their capital is spent and their product developed. Betting all your funds on the belief that you know what the market wants, needs, and is willing to pay for, is like jumping into a river with both feet to test its depth.
4 Reasons To Turn Down Excess Capital | StartUs Magazine
Venture-capital firms flush with cash are luring startups with sky-high valuations and record-setting investments of capital. Last year, according to PricewaterhouseCoopers and the National Venture Capital Association, VCs invested over $48 billion into 4,356 startups – investing $21 billion more than they did the year before.
3 Marketing Secrets Most Startups Ignore | StartUs Magazine
Most first-time entrepreneurs are so excited to tell the world about their new venture that they miss the entire point of startup marketing: to stop being a startup. As counterintuitive as it may seem, the true purpose of marketing a startup is to accelerate your business growth so that you no longer are raising money and burning cash.
Why Going Public Isn't A Golden Ticket | StartUs Magazine
Considering going public to raise funds? Stop and think again! Before an initial public offering, take into account the alternatives available for raising capital and look for the clues that make you eligible for an IPO. As a serial entrepreneur, angel investor and public company CEO, nothing irks me more than when a startup founder talks about wanting to cash in with an initial public offering (IPO).
3 Secret Words For Raising Capital | StartUs Magazine
With Uber raising $2 billion at a reported $50 billion valuation and hundreds of startups announcing $1 million seed rounds, you might start to experience the paranoid feeling that everyone except you is in on some fundraising secret. In fact, the amount of money venture-capital firms invest has reached a 15-year high, making this the easiest time since the dot-com bubble to fund your startup. So what have successful startups figured out that has been obfuscated from your view?
My Notes: Disrupt Yourself - By Jay Samit
These are my notes to this awesome book. If you haven't had a chance to read this book yet you need to read it. This is one of the best business books I've ever read, I highly recommend it. That night, thinking about who I was and how desperate I was to make my mark in the business world, I began what I would later come to call “self-disrupting.” I analyzed all the pieces that came together to form my identity.

Disrupt You!: Master Personal Transformation, Seize Opportunity, and Thrive in the Era of Endless Innovation • Entrepreneur Finesse
In today’s volatile business landscape, adaptability and creativity are more crucial than ever. It is no longer possible-or even desirable-to learn one set of job skills and to work your way up the ladder. At the same time, entrepreneurs with great ideas for new products or technologies that could change the world often struggle to capture the attention of venture capital firms and incubators; finding the funding necessary to launch a start-up can feel impossible.
3 Competitors Entrepreneurs Need To Beat | StartUs Magazine
Almost every startup has competitors, but the biggest competitor that stands in your way is you yourself. Here's how to deal with your biggest competitors to prepare your company for success. Too many entrepreneurs view their competition with a Coke versus Pepsi mindset. Competition is rarely as simple as slightly differentiated products. Beating the other guy isn’t what makes a great company or profitable.
5 Crucial Rules For Onboarding New Talent | StartUs Magazine
According to the American Society for Training & Development, US companies spend over $164 billion on employee learning and development each year. As all-encompassing as that figure appears, most companies overlook the most basic of all training functions: the onboarding of new employees into their corporate culture. As a serial turnaround CEO and startup entrepreneur, I know all too well the challenges of onboarding new talent.

When my book Disrupt You! was published two years ago today, I couldn't have imagined the amazing impact it would have on my life. For anyone considering writing a book, I want to share the ten truths I learned from the process. Our world is far smaller and more interconnected than I ever imagined.
Predicting the Future back in 1992
As a technology futurist, I have been trying to predict the future of innovation and disruption for decades. I recently stumbled upon a magazine column I wrote 25 years ago and thought it would be interesting to see how accurate my prognosticating turned out to be. This post is my personal trip Back to the Future. Before I share my predictions, I must remind everyone what life was like in 1992. We had no smartphones, nor World Wide Web.
Why Digital Reality Will Have Its Biggest Holiday Season Ever
You’d better watch out: virtual reality and its close cousin, augmented reality, will have a big impact on the holiday season this year.

If you fear the out-of-control Black Friday shoppers, imagine the stress that store personnel must face.
Data Sheet-Tencent's Success in China Under CEO Pony Ma
Fender bender. Not an auspicious start for the first self-driving bus in Las Vegas, as it brushed against a delivery truck on its first day in action. But the self-driving shuttle, built by the French automaker Navya, was not at fault and the delivery truck driver was given a citation. Talent poacher. The semiconductor market is getting weird.

Here's how virtual reality is being used to treat the sick
Healthcare in the U.S. is facing a lot of uncertainty due to changing policies and an aging demographic. People over the age of 65 will soon make up 55% of the nation’s population, causing a shortage of 40,800 to 100,000 physicians. Luckily, advances in technologies such as virtual reality, wearable devices, and 5G may provide both an affordable alternative and improved quality of life including better personal care monitoring, more effective treatment, and a helping hand in the operating room.

Augmented Reality May Reinvigorate These 3 Industries
The U.S. economy is facing a paradox. At the same time as the stock market is setting new record highs, many traditional business sectors are being radically disrupted by technology. The S&P 500's record-setting gains mask the challenges faced by the automotive, retail, and healthcare sectors. With three months still remaining in 2017, we've already seen seven straight months of year-over-year auto sales declines and over 6,300 retail chain stores shuttered.

Disruption Is Coming – What Can You Do about It? - Social Business Spotlight Blog
Whether by design or circumstance, every business will eventually get disrupted. You have the next big idea and have been tenacious enough to get funded. Your insights and drive have given you a huge lead on competitors who are too slow to realize how much the market is changing and how obsolete their products have become. Your fledgling company hires more employees and becomes a global player. Your board and investors even consider you the Mark Zuckerberg or Evan Spiegel of your industry.
