Nomad Futurist Podcast Series

Digital transformation has changed the way we work and the way we live. No industry has been left untouched. With the growth of digital, AI, IoT and 5G, data is being generated at unprecedented rates and with this, our dependence on data centers expands with each passing day. The operations of the data center industry, however, remain shrouded in mystery for those not directly involved in it.

NYI COO Phillip Koblence and technologist/futurist Nabeel Mahmood have launched Nomad Futuris t, a new podcast series designed to explore the intersection of technology and society and highlight the world of critical infrastructure as a career path.
