Joe said, “Going through cancer forced me to have a long, hard look at myself and my life. I did not like some things, and some things no longer fit, so I adapted to be more present with the people I care about the most, and rediscovered my sense of purpose through helping others who want to lead a happier, more fulfilled life after cancer. I believe we can choose the way we live our life, to seek greater clarity in everything that we do, to show up at our best every single day, and hold on to hope that despite the struggle, things can — and do — change for the better!” LINKS: Finding Hope In Times Of Uncertainty Simplify Cancer Podcast Thank you to our partners at CIBC for making this web series possible!

A familiar face joins the We Get It program this week as Kayla Tremblett joins Alex to discuss her introduction to YACC and how she quickly stepped into a leadership volunteer role after taking so much away from the inclusive programming. The two also touch on their Localife experiences and how cancer played a role in Kayla's entrepreneur ventures! -LINKS- Localife Simple Ritual Candles This Infernal Racket — Kayla identifies as an Estonian-Canadian pansexual female, currently in a relationship. “I like to tell people I was in my prime before cancer. I was energetic, busy and happy but definitely naive. I was active, loved nutrition and fitness, very social and really was just living life.” When Kayla was diagnosed and faced a two-and-a-half year treatment protocol as well as years of recovery, she felt alone, lost, and disconnected. “It was not until 2017, about one-and-a-half years after I had finished my treatment that I finally was able to start my healing process. I really struggled with PTSD, depression and anxiety in the first four years of my recovery. I still struggle but I now have a strong sense of myself, who and what is important in life. I am still working on myself, and working through my emotions from cancer, but I am a better person than I ever was, and I take every day as a gift.” You can check out all of the videos on YouTube or website!

He and Alex tackle how cancer affected him mentally, and how infertility played a role in him ultimately deciding to become a foster parent. An incredibly touching interview outlines that you won't want to pass up! — Nick identifies as a Canadian of settler decent. He says he grew up in a home with two loving parents that supported him in every way. He was diagnosed with testicular cancer at the age of 21 and again 10 years later when he was 31, and considers himself “lucky because both times I only needed an orchiectomy and no further treatments.” Nick loves art and lives an active lifestyle, both of which have helped him process the experience of having cancer twice. He said, “I waited 12 years before connecting with group therapy and feeling the healing power of shared stories.

She is a stay at home mom parenting a spirited six-year-old with her husband in Toronto, ON. Alyssa is thoughtful and kind and always ready to lend a hand to those who need it. Alyssa was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in 2010 at age 32, after several years of missed diagnoses and an exhaustive search for answers. Roadblocks to accessing proper care included her gender and age. She was initially treated with chemotherapy, followed by an autologous stem cell transplant, and enjoyed a five-year remission before her relapse and further treatment. Alyssa connected with Young Adult Cancer Canada (YACC) in 2012 at Retreat Yourself West. Since then, she has participated in most of YACC's programs (Survivor Conference, Localife, private Facebook groups, and YACC Chats). Being a part of YACC empowered Alyssa to identify and speak up for her needs as a YA patient, and she wants to help YACC grow so every YA patient in Canada gets that same chance.

Today we are joined by the Vice President of Engineering at Corvus Insurance, Erik Person! Erik continues our journey into the magic of the BEAM, our season-long theme for the Elixir Wizards Podcast, and we get to hear all about Erik's path in programming, his relationship with Elixir, and his utilization of the BEAM. Growing up in a family involved in computer science, and an early affinity for technology made the choice of what to study at college a straightforward one for Erik. He tells us about his life during and after those school years, touching on his first job and the important milestones leading up to his current position at Corvus. We talk about his early feelings for Elixir and why it appealed to him almost immediately before discussing different languages on the BEAM and his love of types! Our guest also shares some of the bigger challenges he has encountered working in Elixir and touches on the issue of scaling effectively. In this episode, we also air a mini-feature with SmartLogic's very own Stephanie Vizzi, talking about her work at the company, relationship with Elixir, and more! So for all this, plus a lot in between, be sure to tune in! Key Points From This Episode: Erik's family ties to computer science and his path leading into programming. The first job that Erik landed in programming and his current role at Corvus Insurance. The BEAM at Corvus and the general architecture of the company's technology. Erik's first encounters and learnings with Elixir and the questions it answered for him immediately. The learning curve for languages on The BEAM; Erik's own journey to understanding. Erik's preference for types and his wish for their inclusion on Elixir! Lisp on The BEAM; Erik unpacks his perspectives and the blog post he wrote on the subject. Getting to grips with abstract forms and how these terms operate in Erlang and Elixir. The challenges that Erik experienced parsing and manipulating the code in Elixir. Erik weighs in on BEAM magic; appreciating the magic that is possible with Elixir and Elm. Perspectives on scaling on Elm and Elixir as an application grows rapidly. How Erik and his team typically use contexts and service-oriented architecture. Challenges with compile times during the process of scaling of the application. Excitement about the progressive steps in the data science component of Corvus. How Erik applied his skills to his passion for playing blackjack by creating a card-counting application. The remote meeting hardware device that Erik built as a pandemic side-project! This week's community mini-feature! Looking at how Stephanie Vizzi got into and uses Elixir.
