You May Find Yourself Robert OShaughnessy

 Jeremy Lasman thinks deeply about how imagination and passion operate, and he's working on a sort of engineering manual that we can adopt. So we talked about that. Twice.  This episode combines two conversations recorded eight months apart. And you can hear an interesting evolution in thinking and approach that i think you'll enjoy. We get pretty heady here in a talk about consciousness, AI, quantum computing, SpaceX (where Jeremey worked as a teenager), engineering, happiness, freedom, parents, work, founding The Passion Company, and other stuff too. So have a listen. 

Mike Crowly was a veteran of the real estate industry and living the life in Irvine, California – the heart of Orange County. Then, one day, Mike sold his house, gave away everything, and started walking. 
Because God told him to. 
We talk about that fateful decision, the message he’s sharing, and some of the things he’s learned along the way.

Today on the podcast we hear from Mike Alcazaren for a conversation mostly about sustainability and how to get people (and employers) involved. And in the course of the chat, we talk about design for sustainability, how to associate cost to carbon, My Climate Journey, community building and advocacy. But we talk about other stuff too! Like product marketing, Product, Explained (Mike's podcast) music, mentoring, and NFL Twitter. 

Mert Esencan joins us today for the third and final conversation in a quantum computing trifecta. We talk about quantum (of course!) and we talk about risk, uncertainty, mentors, the role of luck, the march of time, founding a company in your early 20’s (Mert is currently 26), science, art, machine learning models, David Deutsch, Nick Cave, and breakfast. Plus other stuff too.  
Mert founded Icosa Computing and lives in London.

Daniel Goldsmith joins us today to talk about Digital Catapult and his role as Quantum Computing Technologist. What’s a quantum computing technologist? Daniel tells us all about that and about his role as a quantum computing ambassador to the world on behalf of the United Kingdom. 
This is the second in a series of conversations that covers quantum and emerging technologies, which I think would be rather amusing to all those science teachers who nearly prevented your intrepid host from graduating high school.
One note. Listeners are promised a link to the Quantum Data Center of the future. Curious listeners, here you go: https://kets-quantum.com/2021/11/05/9m-quantum-data-centre-of-the-future-project/

Bill Genovese is a tech advisor who works with companies across the globe on implementation for next-generation tech and revenue-growth strategies. As such, he’s got a big interest in fintech, quantum computing, AI, blockchain, predictive modeling for black swan events, and next generation analytics. So we talk about all that. And other stuff too.
