In the next episode of the Full Circle Podcast, I interview a close friend and colleague who shared his incredible story of resilience and survival. My guest, Brian Wands, recounted his harrowing experience of suddenly falling ill with acute pancreatitis, leading to a series of life-threatening complications that required multiple surgeries and a seven-month hospital stay. Despite facing numerous setbacks and challenges, Brian's unwavering determination and the exceptional care he received from the NHS staff helped him through the darkest times. His journey of recovery, including learning to walk again and managing his new diabetic condition, showcased his remarkable mental fortitude and strength. Brian's upcoming operation to reconstruct his digestive system marks a significant milestone in his ongoing recovery. Additionally, we delved into the complexities of the healthcare system and the invaluable role of dedicated healthcare professionals in providing compassionate care. The episode also touched on Brian's return to work and the challenges he faced in balancing his health and professional responsibilities. Overall, Brian's story serves as a testament to the power of perseverance, the importance of support from loved ones, and the resilience of the human spirit in overcoming adversity.

Full Circle with Danny Quinn

Full Circle is a podcast about data centres, AI and emerging disruptive technologies, and what they mean for the rest of us.

I am Danny Quinn. I build AI data centres and data-sovereign cloud and AI services in Scotland for a living, so I'm not a neutral observer. That's why the guest list isn't just people who agree with me. Engineers, founders, economists, climate campaigners, sceptics, politicians, teachers and small business owners. If you've got a view on where this is going, I want it on the record.

We cover the technical side (power, water, grid, chips, cooling), the economic side (jobs, investment, who pays, who benefits), the social and political side (planning, communities, regulation, trust) and the ethical questions that sit under all of it.

Full Circle is powered by DataVita. The views are mine and my guests' alone.
