Panel: Charles Max Wood Guest: Justin Gordon This week on My Ruby Story, Charles talks to Justin Gordon. Justin first got introduced to programming when he was a kid playing video games and in Jr. High when he took some Basic programming classes. By the time he was in High School, he was learning Pascal. He has always been interested in pursuing programming except for a small time in college when he thought he wanted to pursue investment banking. He first got into Ruby when he went to a meetup and found a startup who were using Ruby on Rails. They also talk about working remotely as well as ShakaCode. In particular, we dive pretty deep on: How did you first get into programming? Basic and Pascal Fell out of programming in college 4th dimension Never took an official computer class after High School until after college Studied Applied Math at Harvard Harvard taught him the skills he never learned as a child What was is that made you come back to programming? Getting a Mac got him back into programming Have to love programming to want to do it for the rest of your life How did you find Ruby? Rails was more intuitive Rails is what brought him into the community Found it to be easier to use How did you end up in Hawaii?

Serge is a hardcore biohacker and serial entrepreneur. In this episode we talk about Serge's extreme daily regimen of compounds to biohack every aspect of his brain and body. Serge has studied at Cornell, worked at Google, and was youngest in his class at Stanford Business School. Do not try any of this at home.
HVMN Podcast: Evidence-based Nutrition, Fitness, & Biohacking
Episode 47 features Serge Faguet, an accomplished entrepreneur who founded the leading online hotel booking company in Russia. His successful journey in entrepreneurship was paralleled by his desire to become the best he can possibly be in order to gain an edge in the cutthroat business world, leading him to invest $200,000 in biohacking (you can read about his experience here). Since diving into human enhancement, Serge dropped his body fat from 26% to 10%, reached a VO2 Max of 70 (akin to professional athletes), reduced his blood mercury to nearly 0, and can constantly be on top of his mental game. Here are a couple of key talking points from Geoff and Serge's conversation: - Discussed the nootropics Serge experimented with and their use-cases: Metformin, Lithium, Modafinil, SSRI Anti-Depressants, Bacopa Monnieri, etc - How controlling hormone levels should be explored more - Hacking exercise: HIIT vs. Endurance - "I would say that upgrading the body and healing the body are one of the same." - Wishlist of future biohacking technologies (tech that improves our emotional intelligence?) - Fasting for mental clarity and overall productivity - How Serge's experience with MDMA (normally a club-drug) changed his life for the better. - "After the experience, the feeling of openness and genuine human connection stayed with me for many months." - The potential of the rise of continual monitoring for various biometrics. It's incredibly more useful than getting a snapshot of data a few times a year...too much noise there. - How the three major types of diseases (cancer, neurodegenerative, atherosclerosis) are lifelong processes...so why aren't we doing a better job at trying to catch them earlier? - "Human enhancement is not in the distant future, it's here now."
