But, if you're like many runners I know, pre-run coffee often leaves you with jitters or stomach issues. That's why I was so excited when I found Nandaka by Pique—the ultimate coffee alternative designed to power your runs, your training, and your recovery. So, what makes Nandaka different? Most so-called “coffee alternatives” don't actually provide functional energy. But Nandaka is built for endurance  Unlike coffee, which spikes your energy and leaves you crashing mid-run, Nandaka fuels you with steady, sustained endurance—no spikes, no crashes, just clean energy that lasts.  Nandaka provides its caffeine from fermented probiotic teas, which provide a slow-release caffeine that prevents jitters and gives you sustained release for those long runs workouts.  It also contains cordyceps mushrooms, which help boost VO2 max, delivering more oxygen to your muscles for better endurance  Plus, the probiotic teas mean no digestive distress like you often get with coffee.  If you're tired of running on fumes—or worse, running on coffee crashes—it's time to make the switch.  Right now, Pique is offering 20% off for life AND a free Starter Kit with your first purchase.  Go to Piquelife.com/run and start running on real energy today.  Your legs, your lungs, and your PRs will thank you

Justin grew up without a lot of money in a small town. His parents divorced when he was eight, and his mother eventually quit her job to attend school. Necessity is the mother of invention, and a year of no income led to some very creative ways to squeeze more value out of every dollar. This "invention" stayed with Justin for his entire life, and he applies it to every facet of his finances. From his very low rent (in a high rent area) to his ridiculously low grocery bills to collecting travel rewards points, Justin gamifies every cent he spends. Today we hear how Justin actually made money from his college scholarships and military stipends, how he negotiated a smoking deal on his rent, and how his five tenets of grocery shopping pay off. Justin calls this "the lazy path to financial independence," but really he’s just being incredibly efficient with his resources. If you’re looking to cut expenses, listen to this show with a notepad handy. In This Episode We Cover: Justin's journey with money The idea of squeezing the amount of a dollar and cutting something out of your life Joining the military through the ROTC program and getting free tuition from the government What a career starter loan is and what his decision-making process was What his position looks like after going to college The moment he got serious about creating wealth The reason he is still very unhappy after achieving his goals The first investment he made On his expenses How he lived on $24,000 a year in Boston What's inside his sacred freezer The importance of getting to know your specific local grocery store His commandments on groceries On saving $69,000 a year Investing in real estate On retirement How he found his apartment And SO much more!

The Boston Celtics have a two-game lead over the Milwaukee Bucks in the first round of the 2018 NBA Playoffs, and are poised to take a commanding lead should they win their first away game of the series.

Who might shake out of the rest of the Eastern Conference range in future rounds and how might they match up with Boston? What the hell ever happened to Jason Terry's Celtics tattoo? Join Topher Lane and Justin Quinn as they seek to answer all of these compelling questions and more.  

Sometimes you start a conversation with one intention, and digress into something completely different. This happened to me recently, in a conversation with an old friend and mentor, Johnny Boursiquot. Johnny and I were supposed to do a deep dive into Go Lang and Ruby in this hour long conversation. Instead we spent half an hour talking about Johnny's experience building a technology agency from scratch. Then we got around to talking tech XD. Johnny is well-known as one of the pillars of BostonRB. He also helped to organize the Boston GoLang meetup before moving to Maryland where he founded Baltimore's GoLang Meetup. He was listed on New Relic's list of 18 Go Experts to Follow Online.  In the episode we talk about: Johnny’s lessons learned from founding and building a tech agency, lots of juicy business advice for consulting companies and agencies in the first half of this talk The relative pros and cons of using ruby vs go in different domains How to get started using a new language A quick primer in serverless application architectures How intermediate devs can 10x their workflow And a lot more Enjoy Notes [00:00] What brings Johnny to Maryland after living more than a decade in Boston What brought him to Boston in the first place [02:30] Major lessons learned from time in Boston running a technology company Running a company means that you’re responsible for other people’s income Many unexpected challenges: biz dev, legal, etc [05:15] How did Johnny get started in technology business. Started with entrepreneurship in high school [08:00] Learning how to do business Dealing with clients Managing expectation Touching on the difference between hacking and building a product [11:00] #1 Lesson? The difference between a service business and product business Agencies do not scale the same way a product scales Most agencies do not end up producing a lot of reusable technology or internal products It’s hard to do internal product development because your staff is busy with revenue generating service activities It’s risky to invest in product development [20:00] What would Johnny do differently if he could start over? Start a product company: raise money. [23:00] What about the reverse situation? Making a profitable, successful agency. Protect your margins Be flexible with workflow; Agile doesn’t always work smoothly in an agency environment “They want warez” Your job is to tease out the specifics of what the client actually wants “You’re not in control of your own product roadmap” [27:30] How to mitigate risk of scope creep Establish a relationship; a partnership to guarantee future work Get a Master Services Agreement [32:00] Segue to technical discussion. What is Ruby good for vs Golang? Ruby for developing something fast. “Getting a web app out there as fast as possible” GoLang is better for heavy lifting, whenever performance is a consideration [37:45] What are Johnny’s tips for learning Go (or any language) “Leave baggage at the door...appreciate the differences of Go” There is a “Go Way” of doing things [41:15] What kind of project should I try using GO in Anything with heavy duty network requirements Microservices (“Something you can throw away”) “Gnarly, performance-critical jobs” Concurrency in Go is super-awesome [45:00] AWS Lambda and Serverless 101 Not actually “serverless”. That’s a marketing term. There is always a server somewhere. Monolithic App > Microservices > Lambda functions Everything is a discrete functional unit Very cost-effective because the server only runs when you call the function [51:30] What can an intermediate Rails developer to 10-20x their workflow Look past the magic of the language (Ruby) or framework (Rails) Learn the underlying properties of the WYSIWYG Understand how SQL, HTTP, Databases, and CURL -- fundamentals of the web -- work Learning the underlying complexity enables you to use the higher-level abstractions more rapidly [59:00] Johnny’s relationship with the command line Used to work in Windows, and mostly everything was a GUI Put together command-line tools to build Flash experiences Started using Ubuntu - understood that there are discrete tools to use and stitch together from the command line Now uses a Mac. Everything can be done from the terminal [1:05:45] Running swift on the server Caffeine runs swift on the server to improve iOS network performance [1:07:00] Johnny’s new life hack Modified Pomodoro with a physical twist [1:10:00] Johnny’s child-rearing hacks Every child is different Reward effort over innate qualities Lots of people squander innate talent. Working hard never fails. [1:14:00] Johnny’s new job at an education non-profit Serving under-served school districts Exposing diverse groups to the world of technology Bring education equity to the communities that need it most Mostly doing ops work these days The biggest challenge is always dealing with people Johnny loves pairing with more junior members [1:20:00] Final requests to the audience and where to find Johnny @jboursiquot on Twitter Donate to the ACLU to protect the rights of individuals
