Podcasts about boosting

In this episode of the HVAC School Podcast, host Bryan sits down with Jeff Staub, Director of OEM Sales for Danfoss North America, to explore one of the most rapidly evolving frontiers in the HVAC and refrigeration world: thermal management for AI data centers. With nearly 30 years of industry experience spanning technical support, application engineering, and product development, Jeff brings deep expertise on how the explosive growth of AI chip technology is reshaping data center cooling architecture — and creating major new opportunities for HVAC professionals, contractors, and facility managers alike. A central theme of the conversation is heat recovery — specifically, how the enormous amounts of heat generated by high-density GPU chips in modern data centers can be captured and repurposed rather than simply rejected into the atmosphere. Jeff explains that while heat recovery itself is not a new concept (supermarkets have used reheat coils and heat reclaim for decades), its application in AI data centers presents fresh challenges and possibilities. The heat coming off liquid-cooled server chips typically runs around 90 to 100 degrees Fahrenheit — useful, but not immediately at the temperature needed for most end applications like domestic hot water or space heating. Boosting that heat using heat pumps or feeding it into district energy systems, boiler pre-heat loops, vertical farms, or multifamily housing developments are among the most promising strategies being explored around the world. Jeff highlights a significant contrast between Europe and the United States in how heat recovery is being adopted. In Europe, where district energy networks are widespread, data centers can plug directly into community heating infrastructure — and projections suggest that 80% of European data centers will incorporate heat recovery in the near future. In the US, the picture is more fragmented: while opportunities exist at universities, hospitals, urban mixed-use developments, and facilities co-located with nuclear power plants, the economics are trickier. Key sticking points include who owns the capital expenditure for heat recovery modules and heat pumps, and who ultimately benefits from the recovered heat. Bryan and Jeff discuss how innovative ownership models — with landlords, municipalities, or co-tenants sharing infrastructure — are beginning to unlock these opportunities, and how co-generation arrangements with power stations present exciting long-term potential. The episode wraps up with highly practical guidance for HVAC contractors and facility managers looking to break into the data center space. Jeff encourages technicians not to be intimidated: the fundamentals of vapor compression, chiller systems, and fluid flow that HVAC professionals already know transfer directly to data center work. The key additions are familiarity with large centrifugal and screw compressors, variable frequency drives on pumps, glycol loop management, and central distribution unit (CDU) architectures. Bryan emphasizes that the boundary between HVAC and plumbing will continue to blur as secondary fluid pumping becomes more prevalent — and that staying curious and investing in ongoing training (through manufacturer programs like Danfoss Learning, Carrier University, and others) is the best way to ride this wave rather than get left behind. Both hosts agree: AI data centers are not going away, and the technicians who keep them cool will be indispensable. Topics Covered The evolution of data center cooling — from direct vapor compression on chips, to air-conditioned server rooms (CRAC units), to today's liquid cooling and chiller-loop architectures Why AI GPU chips generate unprecedented heat densities, with individual server racks approaching 250 kW to 1 MW of heat output What heat recovery means in the data center context: capturing hot water (90–100°F) off chip cooling loops instead of rejecting it to outdoor air The concept of 'heat quality' — why low-temperature waste heat is abundant but difficult to use directly, and how heat pumps solve the temperature-lift challenge Real-world heat recovery applications: district energy systems, boiler pre-heat, vertical farms, multifamily housing, hospitals, and universities Europe vs. the US: why district energy adoption makes heat recovery far more common in European data centers, and what the US can learn Business model challenges: who pays for heat recovery infrastructure, and how co-location, municipal incentives, and landlord ownership models can unlock value Co-generation opportunities: feeding recovered heat back into steam turbines at co-located nuclear or power plants How heat recovery makes heat pump technology more viable by raising the source temperature and reducing compression ratio Danfoss's role in data center thermal management — from compressors and drives to plate heat exchangers, CDU flow control, and prepackaged heat recovery modules Refrigerant transitions and what they mean for data center cooling (R-410A to R-454B, CO2 transcritical systems, potential two-phase refrigerant direct-to-chip cooling) The convergence of HVAC and plumbing trades in a world of secondary fluid pumping and isolated refrigerant charges Absorption chiller technology as a potential future use case for low-grade waste heat Advice for contractors: how existing chiller and refrigeration skills translate to data center work, and what new competencies to build Career and training resources: Danfoss Learning, manufacturer universities (Carrier, Trane, McQuay), and leveraging AI tools for self-education The importance of redundancy and uptime in mission-critical data center environments — and what that means for service response expectations   Learn more about Danfoss at danfoss.com/learning Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?

On this episode of Beating Cancer Daily, Saranne is joined by functional medicine expert Jacqui Bryan to explore the concept of “window of tolerance” and its essential role in cancer decision-making and emotional well-being. Reflecting on their own journeys through cancer diagnoses, Saranne and Jacqui discuss how moments of high stress and emotional overload can narrow or widen bandwidth for decision-making, the importance of understanding emotional arousal states (hyperarousal, optimal, and hypoarousal), and practical strategies to manage these intense moments. With relatable stories, gentle humor, and actionable guidance, they highlight ways to nurture yourself and make empowered choices, even during the most overwhelming moments of a Stage IV diagnosis or major life challenge.Jacqui Bryan is a certified nutrition specialist, whole health educator, registered nurse, and skilled functional medicine practitioner. Drawing on her cancer survivor experience and expertise in nutrition and lifestyle modification, Jacqui is committed to helping clients and listeners alike find holistic strategies for stress management, emotional regulation, and healing.“Everybody's tolerance window looks different. Stress, big emotions, strong reactions can push you outside of your window and throw you off balance, making it really hard to cope.”  ~Jacqui BryanToday on Beating Cancer Daily:·      The window of tolerance describes the emotional bandwidth for handling big decisions and stress, and everyone's different.·      A cancer diagnosis can instantly disrupt your emotional balance, and it's normal to cycle through stages of overwhelm (hyperarousal) or numbness (hypoarousal).·      Asking for help and having a trusted support system, whether friend, family, care team, or survivor peer, can make decision-making clearer in these critical moments.·      It's important to practice grace with yourself; recognize when you simply don't have the bandwidth for a choice and allow for rest.·      Tools like meditation, diaphragmatic breathing, supportive relationships, and movement can help widen your window of tolerance.·      Certain foods, especially nutrient-dense choices over highly processed options, support better emotional regulation and decision-making.·      Being intentional about who you select as your “buddy” or support figure is vital; choose calming, helpful people rather than “energy vampires.”·      Faith, service to others, and humor (such as Saranne's “chemo comedy party”) can elevate your emotional state and move you towards optimal wellbeing.Resources Mentioned:Jacqui Bryan: JacquiBryan.com2025 People's Choice Podcast Awards Best Health Series FinalistRanked the Top 5 Best Cancer Podcasts by CancerCare News in 2024 & 2025,and #1 Rated Cancer Survivor Podcast by FeedSpot in 2024 to 2025. Beating Cancer Daily is listened to in 140 countries across 7 continents and features over 400 original daily episodes hosted by Stage IV survivor Saranne Rothberg.To learn more about Host Saranne Rothberg and The ComedyCures Foundation:https://www.comedycures.org/ To write to Saranne or a guest:https://www.comedycures.org/contact-8 To record a message to Saranne or a guest:https://www.speakpipe.com/BCD_Comments_SuggestionsTo sign up for the free Health Builder Series live on Zoom with Saranne and Jacqui, go to The ComedyCures Foundation's homepage:https://www.comedycures.org/Please support the creation of more original episodes of Beating Cancer Daily and other free ComedyCures Foundation programs with a tax-deductible contribution:http://bit.ly/ComedyCuresDonate THANK YOU!

Gavin Newsom recently announced a $19 million ad campaign to combat what he calls “misinformation” about California. But what's the real purpose? Boosting his image ahead of a presidential run. Jennifer Horn joins the show to explain why this stunt — along with California taxpayers funding Kamala Harris's security detail — may amount to an illegal use of public funds. She also breaks down where the city of Los Angeles stands in its preparations for the 2028 Olympics, including serious staffing concerns within the LAPD and Mayor Karen Bass's plan to make the event “car-free.” Then, education advocate and host of the A Time to Stand podcast, Kelly Schenkoske, joins us to expose the rise of “community schools,” a public education model booming in popularity across the country — especially in Newsom's California. While the concept may sound appealing on the surface, Kelly explains why community schools threaten parental rights and serve as vehicles for woke indoctrination.

Revolutionizing Digital Advertising: Strategic Insights into AI-Driven Campaign Management with Seva UstinovIn a recent episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur Podcast, host Josh Elledge sat down with Seva Ustinov, the Founder and CEO of plurio, to discuss the seismic shift occurring within the digital advertising landscape. As managing ad spend across Google, Meta, and TikTok becomes increasingly fragmented and complex, Seva shares how autonomous AI agents are moving beyond simple data reporting to active execution. This conversation provides a masterclass for high-growth founders and marketing executives who are looking to bridge the gap between surface-level platform metrics and true bottom-line business outcomes.Navigating Complexity: The Rise of Autonomous Ad OptimizationThe primary bottleneck for modern marketing teams is the sheer volume of data generated across diverse sales funnels and advertising platforms. Seva explains that while traditional ad platforms optimize for immediate conversions—like a simple lead form submission—they often lack the visibility into deeper business goals, such as closed-loop sales or long-term subscriptions. This disconnect forces marketers into a grueling cycle of manual analysis and constant dashboard toggling. By implementing an autonomous agent that aggregates performance data across all channels, businesses can finally align their digital spend with their actual revenue cycles, ensuring that every dollar is attributed to a meaningful customer journey.Adopting AI in advertising is not about replacing human creativity, but rather acting as a force multiplier for strategic talent. An AI agent can handle the "grunt work" of identifying creative fatigue, reallocating budgets in real-time, and pausing underperforming segments across thousands of campaigns simultaneously. This level of granular management allows agencies and in-house teams to shift their focus away from repetitive tactical adjustments and toward high-level creative strategy and client relationship management. When the machine handles the math, the humans can focus on the mission, resulting in a more agile and responsive marketing engine that scales without a proportional increase in headcount.Ultimately, the goal of integrating autonomous agents like Plurio is to achieve a superior Return on Ad Spend (ROAS) through continuous, data-driven learning. Seva emphasizes the importance of the "human-in-the-loop" model, where the AI provides transparent, human-readable reasoning for every recommendation it makes. This transparency builds trust and allows marketers to maintain strategic oversight while the agent executes daily optimizations. For enterprises and growth-stage startups managing significant monthly spend, this approach transforms digital advertising from a cost center into a predictable, high-performance asset that evolves as quickly as the market does.About Seva Ustinov: Seva Ustinov is a tech visionary and the Founder and CEO of Plurio. With a background in building scalable marketing technologies, Seva is dedicated to helping companies navigate the complexities of digital acquisition through the power of autonomous AI agents.About plurio: plurio is an innovative AI platform that revolutionizes digital ad management by combining unified analytics with autonomous optimization. The platform connects to major ad accounts to analyze performance, identify inefficiencies, and execute campaign adjustments, helping businesses maximize their ROI with minimal manual intervention.Links Mentioned in This Episode:plurio Official WebsiteSeva Ustinov on LinkedInKey Episode HighlightsThe Full-Funnel Gap: Why standard ad platforms often fail to optimize for long-term business goals and how AI bridges that data void.Autonomous Execution: The shift from passive dashboards to active agents that can pause, scale, and reallocate spend in real-time.Force Multiplying Creativity: How AI frees up marketing agencies to focus on high-level strategy rather than manual spreadsheet analysis.Combating Creative Fatigue: Using AI to proactively spot when ad assets lose effectiveness and rotating them before ROI drops.Transparency and Trust: The "Human-in-the-Loop" model that provides clear reasoning for every AI-driven campaign adjustment.ConclusionThe conversation with Seva Ustinov makes it clear that the future of digital advertising lies in the synergy between human strategy and autonomous execution. By leveraging AI to handle the complexity of multi-channel optimization, leaders can ensure their growth is driven by data rather than guesswork.More from The Thoughtful Entrepreneur

 Noelle talks about staff retention challenges in child care programs, including accountability, support needs across generations, and improvement that doesn't always come from training or formal feedback. She explains how adding simple, intentional one-on-one “connection” check-ins a few times a year can shift a culture where employees only meet with leadership when something is wrong. These meetings are not evaluations or disciplinary conversations; they are protected, distraction-free time to build trust, celebrate what's going well, surface concerns early, and understand what feels overwhelming. She outlines sample questions, key benefits such as stronger relationships, earlier problem awareness, improved morale, and higher retention, and encourages leaders to schedule check-ins consistently across the team, including assistant directors.Check out our new Lunch and Lead series HEREConnect with us at The Director's Club HERE

Rodger Deevers knows he’s a lucky man. He’s a financial advisor in Eugene with all his basic needs met — and then some. But in 2023, after he and his wife took a vacation to the island of Curaçao off the Venezuelan coast, he wanted to bring some of the sense of community and vibrant public art back to the Eugene-Springfield area — and contribute to area nonprofits.  He says he didn’t know quite how to begin, so he just started with an idea for one mural, at nonprofit NextStep Recycling, and decided to see if people were interested in helping him paint it. Dozens of people showed up — and the nonprofit was thrilled to have a mural on a space that would otherwise have remained unadorned. Deevers calls the project Lucky Enough Social Club, and now has a system of sorts, and volunteers who show up to paint. But he does most of the legwork, outreach and designing of the mural, in collaboration with whatever nonprofit is getting painted. He says he’s seen the transformative power of creativity in the people who show up to volunteer, and calling attention to mental health and suicide prevention is one of the biggest motivations driving him. We first spoke with Deevers in July 2025 about the creation of the club and how he hopes to see it grow in the future.

This week on The Wellness Scoop, we unpack four headlines shaping how we eat and think about health. A major Cochrane review finds intermittent fasting is no more effective for weight loss than standard calorie-controlled diets, despite its surge in popularity. We explore what the evidence actually shows and why public perception may not match the data. We then dive into resistant starch, the underrated fibre found in foods like lentils and cooled pasta, and explain how simple preparation tweaks can support gut health, cholesterol and blood sugar balance. New research also suggests that lifelong reading, writing and learning could lower dementia risk by nearly 40% and delay onset by up to five years. We unpack what this means for cognitive reserve and long-term brain resilience. And finally, we look at the rise of matcha. From high street launches to social media hype, we break down whether it really deserves its health halo and how it compares to coffee.

In this episode of The Sound of Economics, host Rebecca Christie is joined by Bruegel's Elina Ribakova, Simone Tagliapietra and Guntram Wolff to talk about the US and Israeli strikes on Iran. What happens to energy prices as military action intensifies and the Strait of Hormuz is disrupted? If this conflict is a net positive for Russia, what does it mean for the ongoing fighting in Ukraine? How can Europe rally its defence industrial base? How does this complicate trade and political relations with China? Even if oil and gas prices rise only temporarily, this conflict will cause lasting shocks and force a new reckoning with the European Union's energy dependence.Relevant research: Tagliapietra, S.

Our hormones are essential to our mental and physical health, yet we often don't understand (or we minimize) the key role hormones play in fostering our wellbeing. And to make matters worse, many--or dare I say most – medical practitioners are not given adequate training when it comes to understanding the role hormones play in the health of our bones, heart, muscles, and brain. And when our bodily systems are not functioning well – whether we're experiencing issues such as a lack of focus, sleep disruption, weight gain, or low libido – our mental health can be deeply affected. Today, I'm joined by a top medical expert, Carrie Levine, who will help us discover key components of HRT (hormone replacement therapy) and so much more. Topics discussed include mental heath, depression, psychotherapy, support, physical health, hormones, HRT, hormone replacement therapy, estrogen, progesterone, progestin, DHEA, HPA Axis, cortisol, stress, stress management, exercise, resistance training, weight training, carbohydrates, protein, testosterone, Women's Health Initiative, menopause, perimenopause, post-menopause, relationships, A1C, blood glucose, sex, and libido. Please note that this episode contains sensitive material; listener discretion is advised. Note: If you or someone you know needs immediate support, please call your emergency services. In the US, 24/7 help is available by calling "911," "988" (Suicide and Crisis Hotline), or SAMSA (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration) at 1-800-662-HELP (4357).

And if not just more broadly, the gyms, being able to know what they're doing and when they are going to get a new piece of equipment that aligns with them, or they're going to implement a new training program instead of getting them bombarded with a marketing campaign that doesn't apply to them, you can get really specific, and you're more likely to get aligned to the people that you care about.Alantheus ThompsonGroe Solutions origin storyAddressing club operator pain pointsValue for club operators, fitness professionals and membersBoosting member retention with adherence, accountability and communityGroe Solutions' ultimate visionUsing verified activity to expand accessibilityTracking adherence and progression dataReturn on investment for fitness programmingEntrepreneurship in the fitness industrySolving the member retention problemSupporting behavior change Increasing accessibility with technologyhttps://www.movetolivemore.com/https://www.movetolivemore.com/bookhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/move-to-live-more@MovetoLiveMore

What happens when a "late-starter" ER doc finally hits FI at 60, then must figure out how to actually spend the money without blowing it—or hoarding it forever? Bill joins Mindy and Scott on the BiggerPockets Money podcast to walk through his full "caught up to FI" debrief. Here his decade-long sprint from single-digit savings to 40%, taking his money back from a private bank, and the 60th-birthday retirement-readiness check that came back with a 100% success rate. From there, they dig into his move from a simple three-fund portfolio to a risk-parity setup, why he hired a flat-fee planner after years as a DIY investor, and how he's using FI to buy back time and jump-start his kids' wealth with Roth IRAs, HSAs, and tax-savvy living gifts. This episode covers:  ➡️ Going from "rich but broke doctor" to FI in about 10 years ➡️ Boosting a savings rate from single digits to ~40% without feeling deprived ➡️ Shifting from a three-fund portfolio to a risk-parity decumulation strategy ➡️ Using flat-fee, advice-only planner instead of 1% AUM ➡️ Order of withdrawals: taxable, pre-tax, Roth, plus asset location ➡️ Modeling taxes, RMDs, and Social Security timing in real life ➡️ Building a "3-1-1" spending plan for needs, comfort, and luxury/giving ➡️ Helping adult kids fill Roth IRAs and HSAs as part of generational wealth ➡️ Weighing when to actually leave medicine once money is no longer the boss   ==============================   DEALS & DISCOUNTS FROM OUR TRUSTED PARTNERS   MONARCH MONEY The modern way to manage money! Monarch will change the way you organize your financial life.

Stephen Grootes speaks to Ayanda Zulu, policy officer at the Free Market Foundation, about National Treasury’s proposal to introduce an additional 20% tax on online gambling. The FMF argues the move could backfire by pushing consumers toward unregulated offshore platforms, which already account for a significant share of online betting activity in South Africa. Industry data suggests millions of South Africans are interacting with illegal operators, raising questions about enforcement capacity and whether the proposed tax can realistically be applied to offshore entities.

Boosting a Natural Molecule (NAD+) Reverses Alzheimer's Brain Damage in New Study University of Oslo & Ullevaal University Hospital (Norway), February 8, 2026   One of the key drivers of brain dysfunction in Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the protein tau. Under normal conditions, tau helps maintain the internal structure of neurons, supporting the transport systems that allow nerve cells to function properly. In Alzheimer's disease, however, tau becomes abnormally modified and begins to clump together. These aggregates interfere with normal cellular transport, damage neurons, and ultimately contribute to memory impairment. Now, an international team of scientists has identified a previously unrecognized way to protect the brain from this degeneration. Their research shows that increasing levels of the naturally occurring molecule NAD⁺ can counteract neurological damage linked to Alzheimer's disease.  Previous research has suggested that boosting NAD⁺ using precursor compounds such as nicotinamide riboside (NR) or nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) can produce beneficial effects in animal models of AD and in early-stage clinical studies. However, the biological processes responsible for these effects have remained poorly understood,” explains first author Alice Ruixue Ai. The new study reveals that NAD⁺ works through a previously unidentified RNA-splicing pathway. This pathway is regulated by a protein called EVA1C, which plays an essential role in the process of RNA splicing. RNA splicing allows a single gene to produce multiple isoforms of a protein, and one isoform may show distinctive effects on the other isoforms. Its dysregulation is one of the most recently acknowledged risk factors for AD.
