| 0:00.0 | Hello listeners, before we start Nostuba questions, I want to announce that after a ton of amazing |
| 0:08.3 | positive feedback from all of you about how much you enjoy listening to Mike Maughan as my |
| 0:14.6 | conversation partner, we've decided to continue the show together. Mike, have you heard the news |
| 0:21.2 | that we are co-hosting Nostuba questions? I have, but I'm thrilled to hear it from you as well, |
| 0:26.0 | because there's nobody I'd rather be doing this with. Other than Steven. No, I'm still picking you |
| 0:30.0 | don't tell him. Oh, okay, we won't tell him. We do have to say that Steven has enjoyed three |
| 0:36.1 | years of co-hosting this and is no longer going to be in the co-pilot seat, but we are both friends |
| 0:42.0 | of Steven and we are very excited to be doing this together. Now, it's easy for me to explain what |
| 0:47.8 | I do. I'm a psychologist, but Mike, what the hell do you do? I don't know that there's an easy way |

| 0:58.2 | Qualtrics for the last 10 years. So what's Qualtrics? Qualtrics is an experience management company |
| 1:04.0 | that helps organizations across the world understand their data and use data to help their |
| 1:08.8 | customers, employees, or lots of academics like you. I know have used it to do lots of rigorous |
| 1:13.6 | studies and understand human beings better. So it's like survey software and more? And more. Yes. |
| 1:20.6 | The second piece is for the last three years, I've spent a lot of time with the professional |
| 1:24.8 | sports teams in Utah, specifically the Utah Jazz, where I work mostly with the management team there. |
| 1:30.8 | Nobody's calling and asking me which players we should trade, but I do weigh in a lot on the |
| 1:35.4 | business side. And then the third piece, I run a couple of nonprofits, the Utah Jazz Foundation, |
| 1:40.3 | and another cancer related charity fight for the fight. So you've got tech executive, you've got |
| 1:46.3 | NBA and other pro sports person who solves problems, but is not an athlete. And then your |
| 1:53.0 | nonprofit and charity work, is that right? Yes. Thank you for noting that I'm not an athlete. |
| 1:57.4 | I appreciate you pointing that out. Yes. Well, Mike, I'm so excited to be talking with you |
