He has read hundreds of books that have taught him the secrets to getting more done by getting into this state. He starts by telling us how he was passed over for a promotion at Qualcomm in favor of someone younger and less experienced and how that inspired him to figure out what the other guy was doing differently. He learned that he needed to get more done with the time he was spending on his projects. The trick? Deep Work! Deep Work is the ability to spend uninterrupted, focused time on a task to bend your entire mind toward the goal. Other developers call it "Flow" or "the Zone."

Episode 117: EMx 116: Where Should We Take Elixir with Saša Jurić
This guest barely needs an introduction and we roll quickly forward from his one-punch knockout book Elixir in Action and onward. Saša makes the panel consider what we could and maybe should be doing with Elixir in the future. We talk about his talks, his libraries and his overall vision for what the future could and possibly should hold. Rather than reading this, you should be listening because the erlangelist is talking and it serves us all to pay attention.

Episode 114: EMx 113: Lumen with Luke Imhoff
In this episode of Elixir Mix, we are joined by inimitable Luke Imhoff who takes us on a wild journey through his background from low-level, to high-level and straight back into compiler land as we work our way towards talking about Lumen. And what a conversation that is. WebAssembly, working group politics, sneaking binaries into the enterprise and so much more. The big take-away is that the Lumen project is a very cool effort to give us more options for running Erlang, Elixir and friends that are suitable for entirely different use-cases. Also, clearly, that the Lumen team is carrying the torch for all functional languages in the WASM Working Group. If you are curious about Lumen or WebAssembly this one is for you.
