    Being your Authentic Self on Stage - You know more than you think you do!

    The data center industry desperately needs more diverse voices on stage, but too often, women are backing down from speaking opportunities at the last minute. Why are qualified professionals declining panels and presentations? And more importantly, how do we change that? In this conversation, we dig into the real barriers keeping women from stepping up to the microphone, from imposter syndrome to perfectionism to the fear of being judged. Our guests share hard-won wisdom about finding your authentic voice, preparing powerful stories, and using vulnerability as a strength rather than a weakness. Key Insights: • Preparation beats perfection. The root of most speaking anxiety isn't lack of ability—it's lack of confidence that comes from feeling unprepared. Know your audience, understand your purpose, and craft stories with clear takeaways. • Your experience is your expertise. You don't need decades in the field to offer valuable perspectives. Even three years of hands-on experience gives you insights worth sharing, especially when delivered authentically. • Vulnerability creates connection. The moments that make you feel most exposed—sharing a challenge you've overcome or admitting when something didn't go as planned—are often what audiences remember most. • Moderation is leadership. Leading a panel teaches you as much as being on one. It's an excellent way to build confidence while learning from industry experts. • Stories matter more than slides. A compelling personal experience will resonate longer than any PowerPoint deck. Focus on the beginning, middle, and end of your story, and always tie it back to what the audience can take away.

    Labor Crisis as a National Emergency

    When you flip a light switch, there's no David Copperfield hiding behind the sheetrock. That's science at work, not magic. But what happens when we can't find the people who understand that science? Greg Crumpton, a 30-year veteran of the mechanical contracting industry, calls it what it is: a national emergency. In this unfiltered conversation, Greg pulls zero punches about SMEs who hoard knowledge, the generational divide that's costing us innovation, and why AI is a tool, not a threat. From liquid cooling in 1988 IBM mainframes to today's data center boom, this episode tackles the workforce pipeline crisis head-on with solutions that require courage, not comfort. Key Insights: • The "dog bone" workforce pipeline - why we have plenty of people entering and exiting but a dangerous gap in between where trade education disappeared • Why SMEs complaining about labor shortages while refusing to mentor are "being lazy and selfish" - and what walking your talk actually looks like • How the apprenticeship model must evolve from "show up, shut up, and listen" to showing clear career trajectories and growth paths • The humility factor that separates industry leaders from those who get left behind - embracing fresh perspectives vs. dismissing new approaches • AI as an efficiency multiplier for skilled trades - from QR code equipment histories to GPS-guided troubleshooting - without replacing human judgment • Why excluding women from trades programs wastes half the available talent pool and how simple tools solve strength concerns • The connection-making approach that changes careers - introductions matter more than resumes, and good people are everywhere if you're watching This episode will challenge how you think about workforce development, mentoring responsibility, and the future of skilled trades in an AI-enhanced world.

    From Tribes to Transformation: George Rockett on Uniting Digital Infrastructure at YOTTA in Las Vegas

    This isn't just another industry event—it's a movement. 🚀 In this episode of Beyond the Megawatt, George Rockett shares how his vision to unite the "tribes" of digital infrastructure is transforming the way our industry collaborates, innovates, and tackles its toughest challenges. From energy as the new front line to partnerships over competition, discover why the second year of this event is set to double in size and change the game for data centers worldwide. 🎙️ Plus—hear what's coming in the Innovate Arena and why George says we're in a "jet engine moment" for digital infrastructure. Key Takeaways • Breaking down industry tribes - Moving beyond silos where data center, network, and IT professionals speak different languages and attend separate conferences • The "jet engine moment" for digital infrastructure - We're creating GPU "engines" without planning the infrastructure "airports" to support them • From competition to collaboration - Russian doll partnerships where companies like OpenAI involve Microsoft, Oracle, Crusoe, and Google working together • Energy becomes the front line - Learning from "crypto pivoters" who mastered energy arbitrage and flexible load management • YOTTA 2025 doubles down - Over 3,000 attendees, nearly double the exhibitors, with diverse speakers from across the digital ecosystem • Innovate Arena returns - Shark Tank-style showcase featuring 20 companies attacking industry challenges in new ways • Synergistic problem solving - Moving from traditional tracks to cross-disciplinary sessions on densification, efficiency, and risk The transformation isn't just about bigger data centers—it's about fundamentally rethinking how we collaborate across previously separate industries to build the digital economy's infrastructure.

    Future-Ready Starts Early: Inspiring Kids to Discover Computer Science and the Trades

    What if the workforce crisis isn't about lazy kids or entitled generations—but about a complete failure to show young people the pathways that actually exist? Michael Wilson from GenTech is proving that early exposure changes everything, from elementary students programming Amazon warehouse robots to former farm workers' kids seeing automation as opportunity instead of threat. This conversation cuts through the usual workforce development rhetoric to reveal what's actually working: turnkey programs that bring expertise directly to underserved schools, real-world projects that make learning relevant, and pathways that don't require families to go into debt to maybe figure out what their kids want to do. Key insights you'll discover: • Why computer science should be required in K-12 (and the simple reason it isn't) • How to reframe automation from job-killer to career creator for skeptical students • The turnkey approach that removes barriers for under-resourced schools • Why construction workers are the ultimate neighborhood heroes hiding in plain sight • What happens when less than 1% of high school seniors know their post-graduation plans • The economic reality: trade workers buying houses while college grads pay off debt • How early exposure creates full-circle impact when students become instructors Whether you're in workforce development, education, or infrastructure leadership, this episode reveals practical strategies for building the talent pipeline we desperately need—without waiting for systemic change that may never come. The future workforce isn't something we're preparing for. It's something we're building right now, one classroom at a time.

    Voices That Move Markets: Live From the WiMCO Tech Summit

    What happens when you really listen to the conversations happening in the margins? Four years ago, Jackie Pasierbowicz overheard women talking about professional isolation right after a networking event designed to support them. That moment of recognition sparked the 7x24 Exchange WiMCO Tech Summit – now a sold-out annual gathering that's redefining how we think about professional development in mission-critical industries. This episode takes you behind the scenes of building something the industry said it didn't need, why "love farming" (recruiting without adjusting culture) sets everyone up to fail, and how balancing technical excellence with emotional intelligence creates authentic professional growth. Key Insights from This Episode • The power of marginal conversations – The most important feedback often happens after official events end, in parking lots and side conversations where people feel safe to be honest • Why existing support systems fail – Happy hours and assigned mentorship programs create surface-level connections but don't address deeper professional development needs • The "love farming" problem – Recruiting diverse talent without adjusting organizational culture creates retention problems, not solutions • Technical + human = complete solutions – The most complex infrastructure challenges require both technical mastery and strong interpersonal leadership skills • Strategic discomfort drives growth – Pushing people outside comfort zones through activities like poker and golf helps them practice risk-taking in professional contexts • Building authentic community takes intention – Real professional relationships require deeper, more purposeful interaction than traditional networking provides • Mid-career recharging is essential – Strategic timing for professional development can help prevent burnout and sustain long-term career growth Sometimes the most important innovations come from having the courage to build something different when existing approaches clearly aren't working. This conversation challenges every leader to listen more carefully to what's not being said in official spaces and to create conditions where talent can actually thrive.

    Disrupting the Grid: Veterans, Energy Innovation, and the Future of Modular Power

    What happens when a Navy submarine veteran challenges everything the data center industry thinks it knows? You get a conversation that's equal parts uncomfortable and essential. Tony Grayson doesn't just question industry assumptions, he dismantles them with the precision of someone who's managed 14-megawatt floating data centers under conditions most of us can't imagine. Key Insights:  • Why veterans managing submarine IT infrastructure are the data center operators we desperately need but consistently overlook  • The uncomfortable truth about SMR timelines and why most nuclear promises won't deliver until it's too late  • How China's chip constraints forced innovation that outperformed OpenAI at a fraction of the cost and what that means for U.S. infrastructure  • Why we don't have a power problem, we have a distribution problem (and why that changes everything)  • The $300 billion distributed computing market that nobody's preparing for  • Why constraint-driven innovation beats throwing money at problems every time  • What happens when AI hardware cycles every 12 months but infrastructure planning spans decades This isn't your typical industry conversation. Tony's background gives him permission to ask the audacious questions that make executives squirm: What's the actual ROI on massive AI campuses? Can we really manage 100,000 distributed sites? And why are we ignoring the workforce that's already proven they can handle complex technical systems under pressure? By the end of this episode, you'll question whether the industry is building for the right future... or just the most expensive one. Proudly sponsored by BCS Switchgear, Inc.
