> There are thousands of interesting people in tech. It's impossible to know of everyone.

Totally! If you aren't familiar with who Jessie or Bryan are yet though I think you're in for a treat. So keeping in mind these are largely impressions from their public personas and I know neither of these people personally...

Bryan is one of my favorite speakers / presenters. Virtually every one of his talks conveys his passion and knowledge for the subject at hand, and it's presented in as much depth as the time allows for and any nuance involved, and Bryan conveys a great sense of humor with little tolerance for BS. Here's a non-comprehensive list of talks Bryan has given from his blog: http://dtrace.org/blogs/bmc/2018/02/03/talks/ .

Jessie, to me, is like the Adam Savage of tech: curious, interested in a ton of different things, a maker and tinkerer, and just a generally hard working huge talent. I love her sense of humor, and she puts content out into the world just to share that with others. Like she got to go tour CERN back in May and shared a bunch of cool stuff from it like this https://twitter.com/jessfraz/status/1129845849054253056 which I really enjoyed. If you're on Twitter, I highly recommend following https://twitter.com/jessfraz .

If you have recommendations for other awesome interesting people worth knowing, I'd love suggestions!
