083 Chris Dove Jr, Talent Specialist & Veteran Advocate
<p>The connection between military skills and the explosive growth of the data center industry might surprise you. While everyone talks about AI and mega-projects, few highlight the power of veterans as the backbone of this critical infrastructure revolution. If you're a veteran, an industry leader, or just curious about how the DoD has powered one of the most transformative sectors of our time, this episode is your front-row seat to the untapped potential fueling the future. Chris Dove Jr., a Navy nuclear veteran turned data center powerhouse, reveals how military training seamlessly translates into key roles from power systems to construction management. Discover why veterans are so well suited to tackle the industry's biggest challenges. You'll hear firsthand stories of how Navy nukes are now leading in critical infrastructure, why the skills learned in nuclear propulsion are so applicable, and how a disciplined approach to education and training can fill the void left by a declining skilled trades workforce. We break down the overlooked strength of veterans—exceptional work ethic, adaptability, and a mission-driven mentality—and how these qualities accelerate career progression in the rapidly expanding data center realm. Chris shares insights into how military transition programs, like DOD SkillBridge, are revolutionizing veteran onboarding, helping thousands find purpose and stability in civilian jobs that matter. </p>

082 Bobby Gallagher, CEO Deployable Energy
<p>Bobby Gallagher, CEO and CTO of Deployable Energy, shares how his team is pioneering nuclear microreactors built for our modern, mobile world, starting with a reactor so compact it fits in a shipping container. These innovations aren’t just about safety—they're about transforming energy accessibility for remote islands, heavy industry, and and anywhere you can find a diesel generator.<br>In this episode, Bobby takes us deep into the design philosophy behind the "Unity nuclear battery"—a microreactor powered by existing LEU supply chains, cooled with helium, and moderated with unpressurized water. You'll discover how last century's Canadian reactor technology inspires today's scalable, mass-manufacturable solutions that could revolutionize how we think about energy production. Bobby unpacks the engineering challenges of building ultra-compact, inherently safe reactors that can be produced on an assembly line, much like the F-150 of the nuclear world.<br>We also dive into the strategic decisions that led Deployable Energy from a stealth startup to an industry trailblazer: Why they chose to focus on low-cost, high-density cores, the importance of sourcing experienced talent with a startup mindset, and how their nuclear reactors aim to replace decades-old offshore oil modules with a fetch-and-flee approach—delivering power quickly, affordably, and reliably.<br>Why does this matter? Because the opportunity to deploy dozens of these reactors globally could slash energy costs for remote communities, eliminate dependence on our fragile fossil fuel supply chains, and accelerate clean energy adoption worldwide. The stakes are high: if we ignore these advancements, we keep locking ourselves into inefficient, expensive energy models that perpetuate inequality—then miss the chance to unleash a safe, scalable nuclear renaissance.<br>Perfect for entrepreneurs, energy professionals, and anyone eager to understand how innovative nuclear tech can reinvent our future, this episode offers a rare glimpse into the blend of engineering mastery, strategic foresight, and relentless optimism driving the clean energy revolution. Discover how safety, economics, and manufacturing converge to create scalable solutions that could power a billion lives—and reshape our planet’s energy landscape.<br></p>
