Six months later, they're building with someone who thinks differently, moves differently, and creates friction where they needed momentum. This event was built to change that. Before you arrive, we get to know how you build — not just what you've built. A short founder profile maps your decision-making style, your 90-day milestone, and your exact bottleneck. Then we curate the room around you. 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝘀𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗱-𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝟭–𝟮 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗲𝘀𝘁-𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗺 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂 — 𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗰𝗸, 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴.

The Say-Do Gap: Why Execution Breaks Down—and How to Fix It
Fri, Aug 7, 3:15 PMJoin us for a candid and highly practical session with Dr. Dmitri Kossakovski, an engineering and business leader who has spent his career working in environments where execution failure isn’t just costly—it can derail products, delay critical systems, and cost companies their competitive edge. From NASA/JPL to Fortune 500 companies to venture-backed startups, Dmitri has operated at the intersection of deep technology and real-world delivery across domains including automotive, medtech, sensors, and advanced materials. And across all of these environments, he kept seeing the same pattern: Teams that look productive on paper—but quietly drift off course week after week. Plans are made. Status updates are shared. Progress appears to be happening. But underneath it all, the gap between what’s said and what actually gets done continues to widen. Instead of accepting this as the norm, Dmitri began tracking that gap. What started as a simple weekly habit—recording what was planned, what actually happened, and what comes next—evolved into a lightweight system he now calls the “Say-Do Gap,” and a tool he describes as a “Project Reality Ledger.” In this session, Dr. Kossakovski will break down the methodology behind the Say-Do approach, explain why simple tracking habits often outperform complex project management systems, and share what he learned building a product on nights and weekends while leading high-stakes R&D organizations. This is not a talk about theory—it’s a practical framework for anyone who wants to execute more effectively in the real world. Whether you’re leading a team, building a company, or simply trying to execute more effectively in your own work, you’ll walk away with a practical approach you can apply immediately. *** ## **About the Speaker** Dr. Dmitri Kossakovski works at the intersection of deep technology and strategic business development, with over 20 years of experience spanning R&D leadership, technology partnerships, licensing, and M&A. He holds a PhD in Physical Chemistry from Caltech and an MS in Applied Physics from Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, along with an Executive MBA from the Drucker School. His career spans NASA/JPL, Fortune 500 companies, and venture-backed startups across domains including semiconductor materials, advanced coatings, thermal systems, sensors, and medical devices. On the business side, he has negotiated more than 25 transactions—including licensing agreements, research partnerships, and M&A—with organizations such as MIT, KAIST, Kyocera, Infineon, the DOE, and DARPA. He co-founded Pacific Scanning Corp (acquired by Agilent Technologies) and was part of the leadership team behind a successful exit at iGlass Technology. He currently contributes to strategic investment initiatives in medical innovation and serves on the boards of multiple startups. He is the author of 30+ U.S. patents.

AI, Art & Vibecoding - StrangeNew.World @ 310 Coffee
Fri, Jul 24, 10:00 PMWe frame ourselves as **"a support group for the technological singularity"** and we are an eclectic mix of open-minded thinkers, artists, and tinkerers who believe in embracing the emerging technologies and capabilities in the most humanitarian way possible. Our meetings have a super casual and open atmosphere where all are welcome to contribute. Feel free to come late or leave early. So whether you're an AI enthusiast or skeptic, a creative professional already using AI on the daily, or someone just starting their first vibe coding project, this group may be for you! **NOW NEW & IMPROVED (Until the end of summer!)** We are doing "Hack-a-salons" after every meeting (starting at 5pm) now that 310 Coffee is staying open later. So please bring your laptops or art projects, or works in progress that you have questions on or want to present to the group. No podiums... only passion projects, good people and great vibes! ☺️ **What to Expect** Interesting conversations, relevant content, and educational resources. We are a diverse community of people who want to help each other and the world around us. We meet in person once a week at **310 Coffee in Culver City from 3-5pm**, we share our work and interesting news in our Whatsapp group, put on remote Learning Labs, go to events together, and encourage our members (who have the availability) to participate in a learning collective where we can volunteer to give each other one-on-one crash courses in various artistic, technical, and entrepreneurial disciplines. Here is a list of what we can teach: [https://strangenew.world/labs/what-we-know](https://strangenew.world/labs/what-we-know) We also encourage each of our members to take on a Passion Project, which could be as simple as getting up and running with a new artistic medium or project, or as complex as laying the groundwork for your dream business or career. We believe there has never been a better time (at least in OUR lifetimes) to set your sights on what your ideal life would be two years from now and then just start moving toward it. And maybe we can help you do that by giving you the hand-holding you need to get over that first hump, which can sometimes be the most difficult part. **How to Give Back** If you are a member looking to give back, or if you like what our organization is doing, then please follow, subscribe, rate us, and smash that like! 🤣 I know it seems silly to many of you, but in the attention economy, just the act of following us, liking our posts, and reviewing our events can make a huge difference in how the algorithm shines upon us. Also, if you would like to support us in a more direct way, please consider giving us a one-time donation, subscribing to one of our tiers, or sponsoring us. We pay for a lot of stuff out of pocket, so please consider becoming a patron to support the overall longevity of our group and vision. [https://strangenew.world/support-us](https://strangenew.world/support-us) **More Information** What we explore during our meetings really depends on who shows up and what they want to discuss: * The changing job market. What skills will matter in 10 years * The future of business and the creative industries * Chatbots, LLMs, and Agentic Workflows * Using AI for scientific or artistic exploration * Will generative art destroy Hollywood or save it? * What is consciousness? What constitutes intelligence? * The various types/platforms of vibecoding and which is best for your project * The end of capitalism as we know it * Are we entering the 2nd Cognitive Revolution? * **Learn more at: [https://strangenew.world](https://strangenew.world)**
