Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders - S6 Bonus: Stephen Mathai-Davis, Q.ai
Stephen Mathai-Davis grew up in a family where he was expected to go into the buy side of Wall Street. Originally, he rebelled against this, pursuing professional kickboxing and even running his own dojo in New York. Fun fact, he has 8 black belts, and has started teaching his kids how to box. In his late 20's he came back to wall street, and experienced the 2008 crash and rebound. Along his journey, Stephen realized that his friends didn't have access to the same money management tools and strategies that institutional investors had. He became inspired to offer these types of investment tools to the average person.
This is the creation story of Q.ai.

The Best One Yet - 🍕 “6 days of no pizza” — Domino’s disappearing biz. Bed Bath & Beyond’s college holiday. Lockheed’s Javelin missile.
Domino’s worker shortage got so bad, they lost the equivalent amount of business as closing every location for 6 days. Bed Bath & Beyond is struggling so much they’re creating a new holiday: Decision Day. And a big reason Ukraine has defended Kiev so well is the $200K Javelin missile (Made in Alabama).

Everything Everywhere Daily - A Star is Born
It is estimated that within the observable universe there might be as many as septillion stars. While each of them is far larger than the Earth, they all differ in terms of age, size, color, and composition.
Despite being very far away, we know a surprisingly large amount about them through observation and an understanding of the basic units of matter.
Learn more about stars, how they are born, and how they die, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NBN Book of the Day - Aaron Cohen, “Move On Up: Chicago Soul Music and Black Cultural Power” (U Chicago Press, 2019)
Curtis Mayfield. The Chi-Lites. Chaka Khan. Chicago’s place in the history of soul music is rock solid. But for Chicagoans, soul music in its heyday from the 1960s to the 1980s was more than just a series of hits: it was a marker and a source of black empowerment.
In Move On Up: Chicago Soul Music and Black Cultural Power (U Chicago Press, 2019), Aaron Cohen tells the remarkable story of the explosion of soul music in Chicago. Together, soul music and black-owned businesses thrived. Record producers and song-writers broadcast optimism for black America’s future through their sophisticated, jazz-inspired productions for the Dells and many others. Curtis Mayfield boldly sang of uplift with unmistakable grooves like “We’re a Winner” and “I Plan to Stay a Believer.” Musicians like Phil Cohran and the Pharaohs used their music to voice Afrocentric philosophies that challenged racism and segregation, while Maurice White of Earth, Wind, and Fire and Chaka Khan created music that inspired black consciousness. Soul music also accompanied the rise of African American advertisers and the campaign of Chicago’s first black mayor, Harold Washington, in 1983. This empowerment was set in stark relief by the social unrest roiling in Chicago and across the nation: as Chicago’s homegrown record labels produced rising stars singing songs of progress and freedom, Chicago’s black middle class faced limited economic opportunities and deep-seated segregation, all against a backdrop of nationwide deindustrialization.
Drawing on more than one hundred interviews and a music critic’s passion for the unmistakable Chicago soul sound, Cohen shows us how soul music became the voice of inspiration and change for a city in turmoil. Aaron Cohen covers the arts for numerous publications and teaches English, journalism, and humanities at City Colleges of Chicago. He is the author of Aretha Franklin's "Amazing Grace."
