Julius Thomas, the former NFL Pro Bowl Tight End for the Denver Broncos, Jacksonville Jaguars and Miami Dolphins current PhD candidate in Psychology joins the show to share some of the lessons he learned during his career and how they impact him to this day. We also talk about what it took for him to go from his lowest career point to highest career point, how he managed the anxiety that came with that success, and he shares the questions that Peyton Manning asked him that no other quarterbacks did throughout his career.

Roya Kachooei came to Canada 9 years ago, with the aim to pursue her masters in the US. When her funding fell through, she stayed in Canada and started working. When she was younger, her mother used to speak to her about making a difference in the world around her, and as such, she always dreamed about being an entrepreneur.

In 2017, Roya wanted to start saving for a house downpayment. She discovered that it was really difficult to save up the money, and started looking into apps that would help her. When the only thing she could find to really help was Excel, she decided to step out and do something about it.

A chemist by training, Jamie serves as Senior Research Manager of Quantum Applications and Software at IBM Quantum, which offers cloud access to advanced quantum computers capable of solving highly complex, highly interconnective, and dynamic problems.

Learn about the superconducting qubits IBM Quantum uses to program quantum computers. (Need to back up a bit? Learn what a qubit is.)

Jamie explains how a heavy hex architecture allows IBM to limit crosstalk between qubits to ensure coherence times long enough to complete practical calculations within hours, not years.

IBM Quantum’s Qiskit Runtime allows users to optimize workloads and efficiently execute them on quantum systems at scale. 

As you might expect, Jamie and her colleagues are already thinking hard about the intersection of quantum and AI. Learn about System Two, IBM’s next-generation quantum system.

Congrats are in order for Stellar Question badge winner Dmitry z for asking How can I use environment variables in docker-compose?.

Matt Butcher was always intending to be a philosopher in the early days. His Dad informed him at some point he would need to get a job though. After he interviewed at a local utility company, he was thrust into learning the World Wide Web. He continued programming his way through college, getting his PhD in philosophy, but eventually moved solely into tech. He has contributed to multiple open source projects, and was one of the original creators of Helm. Outside of tech, he's a coffee snob, with more coffee tooling in his kitchen than plates or silverware.

Matt and his team started to explore the things they couldn't do with their current tooling, and landed on the power of WebAssembly. In attempting to speed up the startup time of servers and containers, along side the rising popularity of server-less, he and his team stumbled onto something, during a post offsite dinner.
