Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 44: Why Startup Storytelling is a Good Investment
Q: What opportunities do you see in the quantum space for branding or storytelling, and what advice would you give?
The guest advises startups to start thinking about branding early, establish a solid brand narrative and propositions, and build a culture-ready operating system that supports consistent, scalable storytelling across all communications.
Episode 44: Why Startup Storytelling is a Good Investment
Q: So a TechComm Specialist, what does that involve on a day-to-day basis?
Christopher explains that the role involves meeting people at the edge of emerging technologies, diagnosing client challenges in comms and marketing, and helping technology brands shift from pure explanations to communicating real-world value through storytelling.
Episode 43: Explain Like I’m Five: Quantum from a Kid’s POV
Q: How do you pick your guests?
A quantum expert guest can come from academia or industry, and the second guest should be someone outside the quantum bubble who can ask questions and relate the topic to business, making the discussion accessible for a broader audience.
Episode 30: National Labs: Turning Basic Research into Industry Solutions
Q: What kind of problems could we solve with a fully fault-tolerant quantum computer?
I would be really interested in fully simulating, for example, absorption of solar light by a biological system and see it transport that electron that it formed out of that solar light through its system to where it needs to go.
Episode 30: National Labs: Turning Basic Research into Industry Solutions
Q: What advice would you give to young people thinking about studying physics in college?
If you're interested in solving real problems, it's not even just physics, chemistry, physics, biology. STEM research is what's needed right now.
