In this insightful episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta sits down with board-certified dermatologist, author, and longevity advocate Dr. Doris Day to unpack what it really means to age beautifully — inside and out. With decades of experience bridging medical reporting and clinical practice, Dr. Day shares why skin is so much more than what we see in the mirror: it's a reflection of our total health and vitality.Dr. Day explains why lasting beauty begins with good habits — quality sleep, smart nutrition, stress balance, and mindful movement — before any injectable or skincare product ever touches our face. She dives into why injectables like Botox work best when paired with a careful, customized approach that considers bone structure, muscle dynamics, and skin condition. Her biggest rule? Results should always look natural and authentic, never frozen.The conversation also explores today's hottest trends — from the reality of “Ozempic face” and rapid weight loss to K-beauty's multi-treatment craze — and how to protect skin from unintended consequences. Dr. Day breaks down how smart planning, collagen support, and thoughtful biostimulatory treatments can help preserve facial structure during big changes.She also gives us a glimpse of her upcoming longevity skincare project focused on fibroblast health and stem cell protection — the next frontier for keeping skin resilient as we age. If you want to understand the science behind aging gracefully and make better choices for your skin, this is one episode you don't want to miss.

The challenges and opportunities facing Managed Service Providers (MSPs) in 2025 are ever-changing, and the twists and turns keep any MSP on their toes. As I sat down with Brian Rodgers of Aeko Tech, we discussed several topics and found ourselves hitting on a recurring trend: the ever-evolving role of AI in business operations. Here are the four areas we covered: Client Education - If they don't understand the why, they tend not to comply. Entrepreneurial Resistance - You have heard it before, "I got this." Compliance misunderstandings - Attempting to check a box when asked to have a risk mitigation strategy, and last... Customization over productization - which translates to compliance solutions, must be tailored: one-size-fits-all packages often fall short.

In this episode of the HVAC School podcast, host Bryan Orr and guest Ty Branaman have an in-depth, hands-on conversation about the philosophy, structure, and impact of GRIT Camps—workshops designed to introduce kids to the trades through immersive, practical experiences. The episode opens with reflections on a recent successful GRIT Camp in New Jersey, where both mentors and children gained new skills and confidence. Ty shares the excitement of seeing young participants, many of whom had never shown interest in school before, become deeply engaged in building, problem-solving, and learning from trades professionals. Parents noticed a newfound enthusiasm in their children, while mentors were invigorated by the opportunity to share their expertise and even learn new techniques alongside the kids. A central theme is the use of the Socratic method—teaching through curiosity, guided questions, and hands-on experimentation. Rather than providing step-by-step instructions, mentors encourage kids to make mistakes, ask questions, and discover solutions on their own. This approach fosters deeper understanding, builds confidence, and develops critical thinking skills. Bryan and Ty discuss the importance of meeting each learner where they are, allowing for individualized progress and ensuring that every participant, regardless of prior experience, leaves with a sense of accomplishment. The hosts also highlight how this method benefits mentors, many of whom find themselves learning and growing alongside the kids. GRIT Camps are designed like an “escape room” or adventure challenge. Each module—carpentry, electrical work, brazing, and more—presents real-world problems for kids to solve, emphasizing both safety and creativity. The hands-on activities are intentionally open-ended, allowing for flexibility and adaptation by different mentors and hosts. Safety is a recurring focus, with detailed discussions about best practices for working with tools, protective equipment, and managing risk, especially when introducing children to potentially hazardous tasks. The conversation also explores the broader societal impact of GRIT Camps, emphasizing the importance of restoring respect for hands-on skills and empowering both kids and mentors to build, fix, and create with confidence. Topics Covered in This Episode: The origins and goals of GRIT Camps The Socratic method: fostering curiosity, problem-solving, and hands-on learning Structuring camps as adventure challenges to boost engagement and creativity Safety protocols and best practices for working with tools and materials Teaching modules: carpentry, electrical work, brazing, and more Customization and creativity: allowing kids to personalize their projects The importance of respecting and restoring hands-on skills in society Encouraging contractors and communities to replicate and expand the GRIT Camp model The impact on kids, parents, and mentors—building confidence, skills, and community Reflections on neurodiversity, learning styles, and the value of practical education   Learn more about the GRIT Foundation at https://www.thegritfoundation.com/.  Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?

For this episode of the Data Center Frontier Show podcast, DCF Editor-in-Chief Matt Vincent and Senior Editor David Chernicoff sat down with Tony Grayson, President and General Manager of Northstar Technology Group's Enterprise and Defense unit, to unpack a strategic acquisition that's shaking up the edge and modular data center space. The conversation centered on Northstar's acquisition of Compass Quantum, a company known for its rapidly deployable, composite-based modular infrastructure tailored for both enterprise and defense applications. From Compass to Northstar: A Strategic Realignment “We were developing a modular brand at Compass,” said Grayson. “Where Compass was building the gigawatt-scale campuses, I was building the smaller campuses using building blocks of modules—versus, you know, kind of a stick build.” That smaller-scale focus gained traction with enterprise clients, including several Fortune 50 companies, but new opportunities in the defense sector introduced regulatory friction. “Compass is Canadian-owned, and that goes against some of the rules that the U.S. government has,” Grayson explained. “Chris Crosby was a huge supporter… he wanted to sell us so he wouldn't hinder us from growing the company or servicing U.S. defense needs.” Enter Northstar Technology Group, which brings a strategic partnership with Owens Corning—the manufacturer and IP holder behind Compass Quantum's composite materials. With engineering, manufacturing, and construction capabilities now integrated under one roof, Grayson sees the acquisition as a natural fit. “Everything is now in-house instead of trying to go outside to other consultants,” he said. AI-Ready Modulars in 5MW Increments As hyperscale demands evolve, Grayson noted growing customer appetite for 5 megawatt modular units—mirroring the scale at which Nvidia and others are now building AI infrastructure. “You've seen Wade Vinson talk about it at Data Center World, and you see Jensen [Huang] talking about 5 megawatts being the line where you cross between the L2 and L3 network,” he said. “We can build in 5 megawatt increments and drop that stuff in parking lots—either as an operating lease or as a sale.” That flexibility extends to Northstar's channel partners, who are increasingly seeking a variety of procurement models. “Some want sales, not just leases. It gives us more freedom to do that kind of stuff,” said Grayson. “Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good, and I feel like the timing of this couldn't have been better for where the industry's at right now.” Veteran-Led Advisory Team Strengthens Defense Strategy In addition to the materials and platform innovations, Northstar's defense ambitions are underpinned by what Grayson describes as a “dream team” of senior military advisors. “We basically have every outgoing ‘six'—the people in charge of IT and comms for the Air Force, Marine Corps, Army, and Navy—as advisors,” he said. “Some will be coming on full time.” These high-level advisors, many of whom retired as three-star generals, are instrumental in helping Northstar align its solutions with evolving defense requirements, particularly in distributed compute and real-time data processing. “We're making huge progress on the enterprise side, but the defense side is where we need to catch up,” Grayson added. “Defense globally needs distributed compute… they're ahead of enterprise when it comes to inference platforms.” He also highlighted Northstar's engagement with the Navy, particularly around airborne systems. “That's why we have the old air boss, Admiral Weitzel. He helps us with aircraft systems. These planes generate so much data, and we need advice on how best to internalize and analyze it.” Material Advantage: Why FRP Composites Are a Game-Changer: Durability, Customization—and No Tariffs A key differentiator for Northstar's modular approach is its use of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites instead of traditional steel or concrete enclosures. As Grayson explained, “There's no tariffs involved in any of this stuff. It's all locally sourced and rather easy to get from Owens Corning.” This material advantage extends far beyond sourcing. FRP composites allow Northstar to customize modules for specific use cases, including: Fire resistance: Two-hour fire ratings. Extreme weather: Withstanding 250 mph winds—Category 5 hurricanes and F5 tornadoes. Military resilience: Ballistic protection up to 7.62mm and .50 caliber rounds. And despite their strength, these modules are extremely lightweight—“30% lighter than aluminum,” said Grayson. “I don't know if you've ever seen the picture of me holding the 15-foot I-beam. I'm a sub guy, not Army tough. I definitely couldn't hold that up if it were steel.”

There are an almost uncountable number of Windows 11 "tweak"-type utilities out there. But Wintoys is one of the better ones, thanks to its comprehensive feature-set and modern user interface. As the utility's website notes, you can use Wintoys to access hidden settings, free up disk space, access advanced repair tools without using the command line, configure Windows 11's privacy and advertising features, and more. Some of this is readily available in Windows 11 itself, of course, but the settings are spread out all over the place. But some of it is much less accessible, and it's nice to have it all in a single place.
