This week Kelli Dragovich and Nolan Church sit down with Peterson Conway, headhunter, investor, and advisor who shares insights from his epic career working closely with Silicon Valley greats like Peter Thiel, Kevin Hartz, Keith Rabois, and Joe Lonsdale. Conway has assembled talent for the founding/early teams of Xoom, Palantir, Founders Fund, and 8VCStrap in for some crazy stories. Conway's journey highlights the significance of curiosity, optimism, and unconventional hiring practices in Silicon Valley. Conway reflects on the profile of talent he looks for and drills down to certain keywords he uses to search for seeking individuals with strong convictions and a "fight from the bottom" spirit.HR Heretics is part of the Turpentine podcast network.

In this episode, guest host Dr. David Canes interviews Dr. Matthew Allaway about PrecisionPoint, his medical device for transperineal prostate biopsy, and his journey towards changing the paradigms of prostate cancer diagnosis. The CE experience for this Podcast is powered by CMEfy - click here to reflect and earn credits: https://earnc.me/0Lmsku --- SHOW NOTES Dr. Allaway starts by outlining his path to medicine. The choice to pursue urology was largely influenced by his personal cancer diagnosis. He cites cancer as the greatest lesson in his life, since it brings an enhanced level of empathy to his patient care and inspires him to contribute to the field of urology. Throughout his career, he has always examined his procedures for logical sense – if a process was inefficient, he tried to devise ways to make improvements for patient care. In 2013, Dr. Allaway decided to switch from the transrectal to transperineal approach for prostate biopsies. With the traditional transrectal approach, he found unacceptably high rates of infection and failure to detect cancers in the anterior prostate region. He started performing transperineal biopsies with a freehand technique, using ultrasound in one hand and a biopsy probe in the other. He built a database of his own patients, which showed an increased cancer detection rate. His technique eventually evolved into the PrecisionPoint transperineal access system. He originally started marketing the device at American Urological Association (AUA) meetings, through booths and video competitions. Although Dr. Allaway works in private practice and not academia, he was able to form connections with institutions and key opinion leaders to encourage adoption of the transperineal approach. PrecisionPoint has been accepted by early adopters, and his team is now working to capture a larger share of the biopsy market. Importantly, they are also marketing the device to patients, since patients can also recognize the safety and diagnostic benefits, and being the ultimate consumers of healthcare, can influence urologists to adopt the device. Dr. Allaway also gives advice for budding entrepreneurs. He highlights the need to link the device to a specific clinical need, research existing devices, check the your device's feasibility and pricing strategy, and find good mentors who will allow you to learn from their mistakes. In terms of product marketing, he encourages entrepreneurs to look beyond the United States and explore worldwide markets to increase the chances of product adoption. His confidence in PrecisionPoint grew when he received positive feedback from other urologists about the simple elegance of the device. Finally, Dr. Allaway discusses the importance of truly believing in your product. He says that if you are ashamed of your product's price, you have priced it wrongly. He encourages entrepreneurs to focus on their product's benefit to society, rather than profitability. --- RESOURCES Precision Point: https://perineologic.com/precisionpoint/ American Urological Association: https://www.auanet.org/ Zero to One by Peter Thiel: https://www.amazon.com/Zero-One-Notes-Startups-Future/dp/0804139296

Equity, Taking Chances, and Keeping it Fun.In this episode of The Outspoken Podcast, host Shana Cosgrove talks to Amit Singh, Chief Architect for the Intel Sector of BlueHalo. Amit explains how he ended up studying electrical engineering at the University of Virginia. He also discusses the recent sale of Asymmetrik to Blue Halo, revealing why giving equity to his employees felt natural and how the sale affected him emotionally. Pranks and humor are how Amit keeps things light in the business world, and we hear how they not only helped him survive college but found their way into software on April Fools' Day. Lastly, Amit argues for the importance of executive coaches, lists impactful books, and divulges his collegiate athletic achievement. QUOTES “I like to start things, I don't necessarily have to finish them. I think of myself as a zero to one kind of guy” - Amit Singh [16:50] “I've tried to reduce the barriers or eliminate the barriers between the engineers and the end user. Because [there's] all kinds of ways to separate the engineers from the mission, and I feel like it's very important to remove those obstacles to be successful.” - Amit Singh [34:56] “As a subcontractor, you have the luxury of saying no. As a prime, you don't have that luxury anymore, so you're going to have to say yes to some things that you may not have done before. But that's where partnerships and relationships with other companies can help fill those gaps.” - Amit Singh [45:53]   TIMESTAMPS  [00:04] Intro [01:31] Meet Amit Singh [05:20] Amit's Role Today [06:40] How Amit Decided on Electrical Engineering [12:10] Leaving NASA and Starting Asymmetrik [15:23] Working for Himself [22:50] Finding a Partner [25:40] Reflections on how Asymmetrik Handled Equity [28:46] Amit's Emotional Reaction to Selling [29:59] Where Amit's Confidence to Take Risks Originated [35:37] Easter Eggs in Grapevine [38:06] How Amit Found Balance in Responsibilities as CTO [41:44] Discussing Marriage [46:43] Books that have Impacted Amit [48:15] The Value of Having an Executive Coach [50:31] Outro     RESOURCES https://arlingtoncap.com/ (Arlington Capital Partners) https://bluehalo.com/ (BlueHalo) https://www.vsu.edu/ (Virginia State University) https://www.virginia.edu/ (University of Virginia) https://www.odu.edu/ (Old Dominion University) https://www.nasa.gov/ (The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)) https://www.nasa.gov/goddard (NASA Goddard Space Flight Center) https://vt.edu/ (Virginia Tech) https://www.jhu.edu/ (Johns Hopkins University) https://www.nro.gov/ (National Reconnaissance Office (NRO)) https://www.darpa.mil/ (The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA)) https://www.inscom.army.mil/ (United States Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM)) https://www.idc.com/ (International Data Corporation (IDC)) https://www.nsa.gov/ (National Security Agency (NSA)) https://www.saic.com/ (Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC)) https://www.esop.org/ (Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs)) https://www.cia.gov/ (Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)) https://datacommons.cancer.gov/cancer-data-aggregator (Cancer Data Aggregator at National Cancer Institute) https://www.airforce.com/ (United States Air Force) https://www.synopsys.com/glossary/what-is-cicd.html (CI/CD) https://osintframework.com/ (Open Source Intelligence (OSINT Framework)) https://www.amazon.com/Small-Giants-Companies-Instead-10th-Anniversary/dp/014310960X (Small Giants by Bo Burlingham) https://www.radicalcandor.com/ (Radical Candor by Kim Scott) https://www.amazon.com/Good-Great-Some-Companies-Others/dp/0066620996 (Good to Great by Jim Collins) https://www.amazon.com/Think-Again-Power-Knowing-What/dp/1984878107 (Think Again by Adam Grant) https://www.amazon.com/Zero-One-Notes-Startups-Future/dp/0804139296 (Zero to One by Peter Thiel and Blake Masters) https://simonsinek.com/ (Simon Sinek)...

You want to make sure that the value you're creating, you're not just building for investors because you sold too much too early.”The Afropolitan Podcast spotlights Afropolitans who aren't afraid to step into the unknown and walk in purpose. With this podcast we hope to empower Africans in the Diaspora to harness their full potential and contribute to the development of a bold and progressive black community.Today's episode features Eke Eleanya Urum, Founder and CEO of Rise Vest - a dollar denominated investment platform.“I've always been passionate about finance, investments. It's what I studied in school, what I worked in, it's what I did personally. And as a hobby, I just love it.”Following the peak of the Shale revolution and the subsequent crash of oil prices, Eke published a blog post in November of 2014 advising people to find ways to move their money to dollar investments. He went on to co-found BuyCoins with Timi Ajiboye. They later parted ways so that Eke could focus on building core investment products, and this eventually led to the start of Rise Vest.Having to deal with regulatory challenges from the government taught Eke a thing or two about the rules of engagement when dealing with regulators.Listen and enjoy as Eke takes us through the rise of Rise VestEke's reading listThe Biblehttps://www.amazon.com/Alchemist-Paulo-Coelho-ebook/dp/B00U6SFUSS/ The Alchemist by Paul Coelhohttps://www.amazon.com/Zero-One-Notes-Startups-Future-ebook/dp/B00J6YBOFQ/ Zero To One by Peter ThielShow Notes:03:57 How 2021 Rise Vest's year of ascent.05:46 The idea that became Rise Vest.07:09 Starting BuyCoins with Timi Ajiboye.08:02 Parting ways with Timi and BuyCoins.08:17 The beginning of Rise Vest.10:18 Eke talks about recruiting tech talent even if you are a non-tech founder.11:06 Partnerships that work.

Quando si parla di moda sostenibile spesso in Italia si parla di recycling ma non tanto di upcycling. Oggi Ettore di Revibe ci racconta questo fantastico mondo tramite una fashion startup che permette di conoscere designer interessantissimi da tutta Europa che fanno dell'upcycling il proprio credo. Il company profile dice: REVIBE nasce con l'intento di riunire creators emergenti e indipendenti all'interno di una piattaforma dedicata esclusivamente a loro e alle creazioni upcycled. Con designer da tutta Europa, questo marketplace intende diventare una reale alternativa al fast fashion, rappresentando artisti indipendenti che stanno attuando un radicale cambiamento nel settore. Tutti i prodotti esposti nello shop online di REVIBE sono rigorosamente upcycled, selezionati accuratamente basandosi su due concetti cardine: sostenibilità e originalità nella lavorazione del capo. Citando uno dei fondatori: “Proporre design originali e di qualità che possano attrarre un'ampia varietà di stili ed estetiche, è uno dei metodi più efficaci per sensibilizzare i consumatori alla tematica dell'inquinamento tessile e creare una nuova cultura del consumo.” Ecco dove trovare Revibe Link al sito: https://www.revibe-upcycling.com/ Instagram Page: @revibe_upcycling Corporate Email: hello@revibe-upcycling.com E se vuoi contattare direttamente Ettore lo trovi qui: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ettore-maria-carfagnini-a8b55011a/ Le risorse citate durante la puntata: "Zero to One", scritto da Peter Thiel : https://www.amazon.com/Zero-One-Notes-Startups-Future/dp/0804139296 "Made IT" podcast, di Inès Makula & Camilla Scassellati Sforzolini : https://open.spotify.com/show/2UzJcb7nYz4KOr4jNt9DMW "Solo Moda Sostenibile" podcast, di Silvia Gambi : https://open.spotify.com/show/2TUxk7eNeO0zV3JQh6A68q "Intrecci Etici" documentario, di Lucia Mauri e Lorenzo Malavolta: https://www.intreccietici.it/documentario/ IL TUO REGALO!

Anxiety disorders are the most common mental health issue in the US, with approximately 42 million people affected. Next to depression, anxiety is one of the leading sources of unhappiness, life dissatisfaction, and human suffering. On today’s Broken Brain Podcast, our host Dhru talks to Dr. Kristen Allott, a naturopathic physician, national speaker, and pioneering advocate for the use of whole foods nutrition in the treatment of mental health disorders. Dr. Allott is passionate about achievable results. With more than a decade of clinical experience, she has refined her expertise on how to promote increased mental functioning by treating the physical causes of mental health, fatigue, and sugar cravings. Dr. Allott regularly presents at psychiatric nurse practitioner conventions on non-pharmaceutical interventions for mental health. Additionally, she consults with the Court Improvement Training Academy (CITA) in Washington State to develop the Protein for All Project to optimize brain function in the high stakes environment of Juvenile and Family Court System in the State of Washington. She is also the co-author of the book Fuel Your Brain, Not Your Anxiety: Stop the Cycle of Worry, Fatigue, and Sugar Cravings with Simple Protein-Rich Foods. In this episode, Dhru and Dr. Allott talk about the spectrum of anxiety, how diet can cause anxiety and panic attacks, and how managing blood glucose and nutrition are powerful tools for feeling better. Dr. Allott shares what she’s seen in her clinical practice helping those with anxiety and panic attacks. Her nutritional advice may sound counterintuitive. She and Dhru discuss why it’s important to stay open to different options, especially if trying all the “right” things hasn’t been working for you. Sometimes forgetting the rules is the best thing we can do for ourselves. In this episode, we dive into: -What exactly is anxiety? (2:56)-How what and when we eat impacts the brain and can cause issues like anxiety (8:52) -The evolutionary drivers of anxiety (12:37) -Modern day factors that are hacking our brains and making it difficult to function in our day-to-day lives (15:09) -Why the food we eat is such an important factor when it comes to how we experience anxiety (23:02)-Anxiety and sleep (36:51) -How eating protein before bed may help with anxiety and PTSD nightmares (42:12) -How intermittent fasting affects our decision making (53:14) -How much protein we should we be eating (1:01:36) -What you can do if you sense a panic attack coming on (1:07:26)For more on Dr. Kristen Allott you can follow her on Instagram @ProteinForAll, on Facebook @ProteinForAll, on Twitter @ProteinForAll, on YouTube @ProteinForAll, and through her website https://www.kristenallott.com/.

Her leadership was put to the test at YRC Worldwide when the troubled trucking company sought her leadership to reduce turnover of their 600+ sales force during an economic downturn that threatened the company with bankruptcy.   Natalie is a member of the advisory boards of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, AWESOME Leaders, and the American Logistics Aid Network (ALAN). She earned her undergraduate degree from Central Michigan University. Natalie's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/natalieputnam/ (https://www.linkedin.com/in/natalieputnam/) DeliveryCircle: https://www.deliverycircle.com/ (https://www.deliverycircle.com/) WHAT YOU DISCOVER IN THIS EPISODE: The question Natalie asked led to her choosing a business career. How to communicate directly and respectfully. How to increase communication effectiveness. The question that helps you set your sights higher and accelerate your career. What it was like working in Jimmy Hoffa's “local” for her first big job. What it was like being one the first women in management at her company. Sales stories from 8 Mile in Detroit (yes, the same place as Eminem hails from) The single strategy that boosts your team's productivity. A personal example of the shadow-side of stress. The hardest layoff Natalie ever had to make. How to summon your courage. The “finger print” strategy to get your big idea accepted by the C-Suite. Strategies to conquer impost syndrome. Why you should add music to your meeting. HIGHLIGHTS: Advice for underrepresented groups in C-Suite: Discard the fear. If you want to lead, then lead. Be female but compete on competence. Show up with gravitas. Lower voice has more command. What traits Natalie is looking for when hiring new people: They need to be ambitious, eager and passionate. Be humble. Be smart emotionally and intelligently. How employees should communicate their big ideas: You should socialize it with someone else before bringing it to the meeting. Your big idea is not about making a name for yourself but making the company better. Tweak your ideas and let other people put their fingerprints on it.

Today's conversation is all about the current state of innovation in the business world—or, rather the lack there of. What's going on with big tech's copy cat problem right now? Rather than innovate to compete, these companies continue to replicate features from each other or smaller firms... but why? We talk about Peter Thiel's book Zero to One to define the most difficult type of innovation, and dissect other forms of innovation to figure out how we can apply them to some ideas of our own. Resources from this episode:Zero to One Book: https://www.amazon.com/Zero-One-Notes-Startups-Future/dp/0804139296 Peter Thiel: https://foundersfund.com/team/peter-thiel/  LOOTB Website: https://lifeoutofthebox.com/ Button Ph.D. Website: https://buttonphd.com/

Air pollution is one of the biggest threats for people living in cities causing 8million deaths each year. Peter Sänger and his Team at Green City Solutions GmbH are developing filter mediums made out of moose, combined with IoT components to fight against this threat. It's an amazing example of how we can use the millions of years of development, that nature is providing us and coping it with high tech. Especially problems as Greencitysolutions is tackling that involve a variety of stakeholder's as air quality, have one problem: It's hard to find people that pay for good air quality as it is hard to finance ocean cleanups and other multisystem problems. As bad air quality is not caused by one individual, company, or state, Peter and his team needed to find a valuable business case. Just having a sustainable and green idea, can get you at some conferences and people get excited, but when it really comes to fight air pollution there is more needed then just goodwill Peter says. This episode especially interesting because Peter and his team have found a valuable business case with Greencitysolutions that allows them to get from a “feel-good product” for some companies that want to become a bit greener, to an actually scalable solution that has the potential to provide us with clean city air. Check out their website - https://greencitysolutions.de/ or when you live in Berlin one of there city trees and see how exciting the future of our cities could look like. The book Peter recommended is Zero to One from Peter Thiel https://www.amazon.de/Zero-One-Notes-Startups-Future/dp/0804139296

Today's conversation with Dorie Clark taught me some essential lessons about how to build a following around one's ideas - which is no surprise - Dorie has given several excellent TEDx talks on just this topic, and I'll summarize my insights from our conversation in a moment.  I learned something more surprising during my conversation with Dorie - that she is living her principles, constantly. I also learned that she's into musicals, big time. I wasn't expecting to learn this about Dorie, but I followed the conversation, as you'll see.  Dorie is the author of a trilogy of books all about reinvention. Starting in 2013, Dorie wrote “Reinventing You: Define Your Brand, Imagine Your Future” which she followed up in 2015 with “Stand Out: How to Find your Breakthrough Idea and build a following around it” which was named Inc Magazine's #1 Leadership book of that year. Most recently, in 2017, she penned “Entrepreneurial You: Monetize Your Expertise, Create Multiple Income Streams, and Thrive.” Maybe I'm just a cynic, but I often expect people who have this much time to write about their ideas to have less time  to apply them. Dorie walks her talk, however. The opening quote is about Dorie's dream to learn to write and produce musical theater...and how she's going about it - slowly building skills, insights and networks, long before she plans to tap them. If you take nothing else away from this episode, that alone is a solid gold lesson. This approach makes logical sense - you have to plant before you can reap - and networks are no different. What I loved learning about Dorie is that she's not sitting still - she still has dreams of constant reinvention and she's working to make those dreams possible, steadily. In the last several years in hosting this podcast, I've come to see conversations in a new light - sometimes they can seem like a wave, building, cresting and receding. Dorie certainly treats her own musical reinvention in this way - like a conversational wave she needs to build. But I've also learned that conversations also have key sizes that act differently - small, medium and large conversations are all essential to master, as a leader or facilitator, and with reinvention, this is still true. Dorie takes me through three key conversational size “phase transitions” in building a following around a breakthrough idea. You don't get to massive impact overnight. Zero to one: Start talking about your idea. It may seem obvious, but many people just keep their ideas and their dreams in their heads. Getting it out of your head is like Peter Thiel's Zero-to-One innovation and gets the ball rolling. One to Many: Finding ways to get to talk to many people about your ideas at once, like writing for a publication or speaking to a group. Many-to-Many: The goal, at the end of the day, is to develop a many-to-many conversation. You don't want to be the only person talking about your idea. For me, the more people who see conversations as something worth designing, the better it is for me and for the world (at least, that's how I see it) - which is why I keep making this show! This episode is full of other insights, like how to write a great headline or choose a collaborator for a project.

I speak with Carlos De la Guardia, an amateur AGI researcher and musician with a longtime interest in Popper and Deutsch. We discuss how one can apply the philosophy of critical rationalism, and some of David Deutsch’s ideas, to 'real life'. How should one act, given that problems are inevitable, and life is literally unpredictable? We also discuss how critical rationalism may help us to have more productive disagreements, effective altruism, and the universal constructor.

Panel: Aimee Knight Charles Max Wood Joe Eames AJ O’Neil Chris Ferdinandi  Special Guests: Charles Lowell (New Mexico) & Taras Mankovski (Toronto) In this episode, the panel talks with two special guests Charles and Taras. Charles Lowell is a principle engineer at Frontside, and he loves to code. Taras works with Charles and joined Frontside, because of Charles’ love for coding. There are great personalities at Frontside, which are quite diverse. Check out this episode to hear about microstates, microstates with react, Redux, and much more! Show Topics: 1:20 – Chuck: Let’s talk about microstates – what is that? 1:32 – Guest: My mind is focused on the how and not the what. I will zoom my mind out and let’s talk about the purposes of microstates. It means a few things. 1.) It’s going to work no matter what framework you are using. 2.) You shouldn’t have to be constantly reinventing the wheel. React Roundup – I talked about it there at this conference.  Finally, it really needs to feel JavaScript. We didn’t want you to feel like you weren’t using JavaScript. It uses computer properties off of those models. It doesn’t feel like there is anything special that you are doing. There are just a few simple rules. You can’t mutate the state in place. If you work with JavaScript you can use it very easily. Is that a high-level view? 7:13 – Panel: There are a lot of pieces. If I spoke on a few specific things I would say that it enables programming with state machines. 7:42 – Panel: We wanted it to fell like JavaScript – that’s what I heard. 7:49 – Aimee: I heard that, too. 7:59 – Guest. 8:15 – Aimee: Redux feels like JavaScript to me. 8:25 – Guest: It’s actually – a tool – that it feels natural so it’s not contrived. It’s all JavaScript. 8:49 – Panel. 9:28 – Guest: Idiomatic Ember for example. Idiomatic in the sense that it gives you object for you to work with, which are simple objects. 10:12 – Guest: You have your reducers and your...we could do those things but ultimately it’s powerful – and not action names – we use method names; the name of the method. 11:20 – Panel: I was digging through docs, and it feels like NORMAL JavaScript. It doesn’t seem like it’s tied to a certain framework or library platform? 11:45 – Guest: Yes, we felt a lot of time designing the interfaces the API and the implementation. We wanted it to feel natural but a tool that people reach for. (Guest continues to talk about WHY they created microstates.) Guest: We wanted to scale very well what you need when your needs to change. 13:39 – Chuck: I have a lot of friends who get into React and then they put in Redux then they realize they have to do a lot of work – and that makes sense to do less is more. 14:17 – Guest: To define these microstates and build them up incrementally...building smaller microstates out of larger ones. Guest continued: Will we be able to people can distribute React components a sweet array of components ready for me to use – would I be able to do the same for a small piece of state? We call them state machines, but ultimately we have some state that is driving it. Would we be able to distribute and share? 16:15 – Panel: I understand that this is tiny – but why wouldn’t I just use the native features in specific the immutability component to it? 16:42 – Guest: I’m glad you asked that question. We wanted to answer the question... Guest: With microstates you can have strict control and it gives you the benefit of doing sophisticated things very easily. 18:33 – Guest: You mentioned immutability that’s good that you did. It’s important to capture – and capturing the naturalness of JavaScript. It’s easy to build complex structures – and there is an appeal to that. We are building these graphs and these building up these trees. You brought up immutability – why through it away b/c it’s the essence of being a developer. If you have 3-4-5 levels of nesting you have to de-structure – get to the piece of data – change it – and in your state transition 80% of your code is navigating to the change and only 20% to actually make the change. You don’t have to make that tradeoff. 21:25 – Aimee: The one thing I like about the immutability b/c of the way you test it. 21:45 – Guest: There a few things you can test.  23:01 – Aimee: You did a good job of explaining it. 23:15 – Guest: It makes the things usually hard  easy! With immutability you can loose control, and if that happens you can get so confused. You don’t have a way to have a way to navigate to clarity. That’s what this does is make it less confusing. It gives you order and structure. It gives you a very clear path to do things you need to do. If there is a property on your object, and if there is a way to change it... 25:29 – Guest: The only constant is change no matter what framework you are working on. 24:46 – Chuck: We are talking about the benefits and philosophy. What if I have an app – and I realize I need state management – how do I put microstates into my app? It’s using Angular or React – how do I get my data into microstates? 26:35 – Guest: I can tell you what the integration looks like for any framework. You take a type and you passed that type and some value to the create function so what you get is a microstate. (The Guest continues diving into his answer.) 28:18 – Guest: That story is very similar to Redux, basically an event emitter. The state changes on the store. Maybe this is a good time to talk about the stability benefits and the lazy benefits because microstates is both of those things. Stability – if I invoke a transition and the result is unchanged – same microstate – it doesn’t emit an event. It recognizes it internally. It will recognize that it’s the same item. Using that in Ember or Redux you’d have to be doing thousands of actions and doing all that computation, but stability at that level. Also, stability in the sense of a tree. If I change one object then that changes it won’t change an element that it doesn’t need to change. 31:33 – Advertisement: Sentry.io 32:29 – Guest: I want to go back to your question, Chuck. Did we answer it? 32:40 – Chuck: Kind of. 32:50 – Guest. 32:59 – Guest: In Angular for example you can essentially turn a microstate... 33:51 – Guest: You could implement a connect, too. Because the primitive is small – there is no limit. 34:18 – Chuck summarizes their answers into his own words. 34:42 – Guest: If you were using a vanilla React component – this dot – I will bind this. You bind all of these features and then you pass them into your template. You can take it as a property...those are those handlers. They will perform the transition, update and what needs to be updated will happen. 35:55 – Chuck: Data and transitions are 2 separate things but you melded them together to feel like 1 thing. This way it keeps clean and fast. 36:16 – Guest: Every framework helps you in each way. Microstates let’s you do a few things: the quality of your data all in one place and you can share. 38:12 – Guest: He made and integrated Microstates with Redux tools. 38:28 – Guest talks about paths, microstates to trees. 39:22 – Chuck. 39:25 – Panel: When I think about state machines I have been half listening / half going through the docs. When I think of state machines I think about discreet operations like a literal machine. Like a robot of many steps it can step through. We have been talking about frontend frameworks like React - is this applicable to the more traditional systems like mechanical control or is it geared towards Vue layered applications? 40:23 – Guest: Absolutely. We have BIG TEST and it has a Vue component. 41:15 – Guest: when you create a microstate from a type you are creating an object that you can work with. 42:11 – Guest: Joe, I know you have experience with Angular I would love to get your insight. 42:33 – Joe: I feel like I have less experience with RX.js. A lot of what we are talking about and I am a traditionalist, and I would like you to introduce you guys to this topic. From my perspective, where would someone start if they haven’t been doing Flux pattern and I hear this podcast. I think this is a great solution – where do I get started? The official documents? Or is it the right solution to that person? 43:50 – Guest: Draw out the state machine that you want to represent in your Vue. These are the states that this can be in and this is the data that is required to get from one thing to the other. It’s a rope process. The arrow corresponds to the method, and... 44:49 – Panel: It reminds me back in the day of rational rows. 44:56 – Guest: My first job we were using rational rows. 45:22 – Panelist: Think through the state transitions – interesting that you are saying that. What about that I am in the middle – do you stop and think through it or no? 46:06 – Guest: I think it’s a Trojan horse in some ways. I think what’s interesting you start to realize how you implement your state transitions. 48:00 – (Guest continues.) 48:45 – Panel: That’s interesting. Do you have that in the docs to that process of stopping and thinking through your state transitions and putting into the microstate? 49:05 – Guest: I talked about this back in 2016. I outlined that process. When this project was in the Ember community. 49:16 – Guest: The next step for us is to make this information accessible. We’ve been shedding a few topics and saying this is how to use microstates in your project. We need to write up those guides to help them benefit in their applications. 50:00 – Chuck: What’s the future look like? 50:03 – Guest: We are working on performance profiling. Essentially you can hook up microstates to a fire hose. The next thing is settling on a pattern for modeling side effects inside microstates. Microstates are STATE and it’s immutable. 52:12 – Guest: Getting documentation. We have good README but we need traditional docs, too. 52:20 – Chuck: Anything else? 52:28 – Guest: If you need help email us and gives us a shot-out. 53:03 – Chuck: Let’s do some picks! 53:05 – Advertisement for Charles Max Wood’s course!

Microstates let’s you do a few things: the quality of your data all in one place and you can share. 38:12 – Guest: He made and integrated Microstates with Redux tools. 38:28 – Guest talks about paths, microstates to trees. 39:22 – Chuck. 39:25 – Panel: When I think about state machines I have been half listening / half going through the docs. When I think of state machines I think about discreet operations like a literal machine. Like a robot of many steps it can step through. We have been talking about frontend frameworks like React - is this applicable to the more traditional systems like mechanical control or is it geared towards Vue layered applications? 40:23 – Guest: Absolutely. We have BIG TEST and it has a Vue component. 41:15 – Guest: when you create a microstate from a type you are creating an object that you can work with. 42:11 – Guest: Joe, I know you have experience with Angular I would love to get your insight. 42:33 – Joe: I feel like I have less experience with RX.js. A lot of what we are talking about and I am a traditionalist, and I would like you to introduce you guys to this topic. From my perspective, where would someone start if they haven’t been doing Flux pattern and I hear this podcast. I think this is a great solution – where do I get started? The official documents? Or is it the right solution to that person? 43:50 – Guest: Draw out the state machine that you want to represent in your Vue. These are the states that this can be in and this is the data that is required to get from one thing to the other. It’s a rope process. The arrow corresponds to the method, and... 44:49 – Panel: It reminds me back in the day of rational rows. 44:56 – Guest: My first job we were using rational rows. 45:22 – Panelist: Think through the state transitions – interesting that you are saying that. What about that I am in the middle – do you stop and think through it or no? 46:06 – Guest: I think it’s a Trojan horse in some ways. I think what’s interesting you start to realize how you implement your state transitions. 48:00 – (Guest continues.) 48:45 – Panel: That’s interesting. Do you have that in the docs to that process of stopping and thinking through your state transitions and putting into the microstate? 49:05 – Guest: I talked about this back in 2016. I outlined that process. When this project was in the Ember community. 49:16 – Guest: The next step for us is to make this information accessible. We’ve been shedding a few topics and saying this is how to use microstates in your project. We need to write up those guides to help them benefit in their applications. 50:00 – Chuck: What’s the future look like? 50:03 – Guest: We are working on performance profiling. Essentially you can hook up microstates to a fire hose. The next thing is settling on a pattern for modeling side effects inside microstates. Microstates are STATE and it’s immutable. 52:12 – Guest: Getting documentation. We have good README but we need traditional docs, too. 52:20 – Chuck: Anything else? 52:28 – Guest: If you need help email us and gives us a shot-out. 53:03 – Chuck: Let’s do some picks! 53:05 – Advertisement for Charles Max Wood’s course!
