Welcome to The Stramaglio Show! Formerly Next Weeks Life, this is the same podcast you know and love —just with a fresh new name. In this debut episode, Mike Stramaglio sits down with former Navy SEAL and Chief Talent Officer at Overwatch Mission Critical, Mike Sarraille, for a deep dive into leadership, talent acquisition, and the booming data center industry.

Mike shares his concept of “Evolved Leadership,” which pairs empathy with high standards. He challenges traditional hiring practices, advocating for new talent pools—especially as AI fuels a skyrocketing demand for skilled labor. The conversation also tackles the critical role of nuclear power in sustaining data infrastructure and how technology is now at the heart of national security. Whether you're a business leader, veteran, or tech enthusiast, this episode delivers insights you can’t afford to miss.
