data centres the sector of choice
secrecy . But , in the face of challenges that threaten to halt the sector ’ s growth in its tracks , data centre leaders have had to speak with frankness and transparency .
“ The main reason I started the podcast was because I ' ve always been quite vocal about the sector being very secretive ,” Davis explains .
“ It was always a case of having to sign an NDA to have a conversation with someone about something , and I thought that that wasn ' t really necessary a lot of the time . There ' s a lot of great people in the industry with good stories to share .”
And , for Davis , the style of podcasts meant that the people who would normally require an NDA were suddenly a lot more open when asked to take part in a more informal discussion .
“ That was one of the objectives : to try and demystify the sector a little bit , and to attract more people to the industry ,
“ The power of a podcast is amazing ; for our organisation , it helps to reinforce the fact that we ' re trying to help the sector , we ' re not just sort of in it for quick wins . We are trying to do something a bit different and help everyone out ”
