Linnia shares valuable insights on the team dynamics, the challenges and excitement of Baja SAE events, and what it takes to be a successful member of this engineering team. e also catch up with new senior member David Grover at Baja SAE Williamsport. Topics Covered: Driver training and selection process Upcoming Baja SAE competitions and favorite events The journey of designing and manufacturing a new race car Team dynamics and the importance of teamwork Support from the University of Michigan and College of Engineering Recruiting new team members and passing down knowledge Competing against rival teams and valuable lessons learned Tune in for a fascinating look into the world of Baja SAE and the dedication required to excel in these competitions. Whether you're an engineering student, a Baja enthusiast, or curious about the behind-the-scenes efforts of a race car team, this episode is packed with insights and stories that you won't want to miss.
In this episode, we speak with Evin McMullen, CEO and Spoke Lead at Stow Protocol (formerly Linnia). Stow Protocol is a web3.0 backend-in-a-box that helps developers build decentralized applications without knowledge of cryptography or solidity, and gives end-users control of their data. We cover a lot of big topics in this discussion such as how the Stow Protocol team uses design thinking for building a backend protocol, how they are thinking about business models, their approach for roadmap planning, and much more. Evin and the Stow Protocol team have taken a really interesting approach to prototyping and validating assumptions. With an emphasis on building enough to host hackathons, they are planning to use those events as a way to get concentrated user feedback. For those trying to understand the challenges of developing more infrastructural and backend products like Stow Protocol, this will be a particularly interesting deep dive into that world. We also spend a lot of time hearing from Evin about how the team has confronted and pushed through tough decisions about strategy. Having worked at companies trying to make the most of user data, we really had a great time exploring how Stow Protocol is trying to make a more equitable web by giving users control over their data and better, more secure access to developers. Enjoy! Show Notes [0:31] Episode intro [1:24] Evin's background and path to crypto. [4:35] How Evin's experiences growing up ultimately drew her to the philosophical aspects of crypto. [11:25] Overview of Linnia protocol, history of the project and what problems they're aiming to solve. [18:52] Where the name Linnia came from. [19:24] The team’s perspective on tokens and the potential for a Linnia token in the future. [21:47] Evolution of the problems and solution space Linnia is focused on. [26:00] Who was involved in honing the problems to focus on, what we're their roles and what did the process look like? [27:57] How does the team handle conflict and pivots in strategy like how much decentralization is ideal? [30:50] The team's approach for validating who their ideal users are and market sizes for each. 35:18] Thoughts on evaluating the competitive landscape and the fuzzy line between competition and collaboration. [39:27] Perspective on business models in the crypto space. [44:39] Approach to validating assumptions. [48:15] Linnia’s application of user experience and design thinking process. [55:24] Prototyping tactics. [57:55] Challenges that are unique to blockchain from Linnia's perspective. [1:05:44] Team size, composition and responsibilities. [1:09:02] Stakeholders in the Linnia ecosystem. [1:14:05] The Linnia product roadmap and process for putting it together. [1:17:27] Interesting tidbit about Evin.

Our guest Linnia Hawkins works at the Oregon Climate Change Research Institute as a specialist in water, vegetation, and land surface processes, and relates up-to-date information on how climate change is modeled, and how someone can gain access to climate projections for their location. There are a lot of predictions about where our climate is headed in different scenarios, and Linnia helps to clear the static in assessing forecasts and understanding the major patterns at work, so we have a clearer vision of what to plan for.

My research interests are in applied climate science, including issues surrounding water, vegetation, land-surface processes and natural resources in a changing climate. Working under David Rupp and Phil Mote, my current research uses citizen science to run large ensembles of regional climate simulations for the western United States. We use a dynamic vegetation model to simulate the roll of large-scale disturbance in biome shifts and to investigate how climate change may transform future distributions of vegetation. We aim to produce science that is relevant and valuable to decision makers and resource managers making climate related decisions by engaging in the coproduction of science and knowledge. Recognizing the importance of science outreach and engaging broader audiences, I also write for the Climate Circulator, a newsletter covering climate science in the Northwest. I contribute to the biennial Oregon Climate Assessment Report, and help communicate our findings to a broader audience by giving talks and engaging in community outreach activities.
