This episode is sponsored in part by Vital Proteins. You probably heard of Vital Proteins. They're the number one brand of collagen peptides in the U.S. And for good reason, a lot of people myself included, take it pretty much daily to support things like healthy hair, skin, nails, bones, joints, all the good stuff. That starts to matter more the longer you've been walking around on this planet. But now, Vital Proteins is shaking things up. literally, you can tell a dad wrote this copy, with a brand new collagen and protein shake,

and this isn't your average protein shake that tastes like chalk and sadness. This one's light, chocolatey, super smooth, and it's got something pretty unique going for it. High quality protein, 30 grams of it plus collagen, that's pretty good ROI. Usually you're choosing one or the other, but Vital Proteins gives you a ready-to-drink shake you can toss in your bag or fridge, zero added sugar, no artificial sweeteners, and no carogenin. And I don't know what that is, or if that's even how you say it, but you're supposed to avoid that. If you're already taking collagen or you're just curious about how it might support your hair, skin, nails, joints, and you don't want any carogenin, this is a super easy, tasty

way to try it. Get 20% off by going to vital proteins.com and entering promo code Jordan at checkout.

Today on the show, what if tomorrow morning you woke up

and every lock protecting your digital life, your bank account, your private messages, your medical

records, even the systems running power plants and hospitals, just stopped working. Not because of a

hack, not because of human error, but because a machine figured out in minutes what would have taken

today's computers

longer than human civilization has even existed.

That day has a name, Q Day.

And according to people working at the very top of quantum computing and cryptography,

it's not science fiction, it's a countdown.

Today I'm talking with John Young, C of Quantum Emotion America, about what quantum computers
