In this episode of Hands-On Heroes, we bring together 10 industry leaders from across tech, infrastructure, and sustainability to unpack the iMasons Climate Accord. A global initiative shaping how data centers, builders, and operators tackle climate impact and build a more sustainable future. From real-world commitments to cross-sector collaboration, hear what’s happening on the ground, and what it means for the workforce, innovation, and climate action.

We dive deep into climate strategy, decarbonization pathways, resilience planning, and how organizations are designing infrastructure that scales while shrinking environmental footprints. If you care about where technology, climate, and careers intersect, this one’s for you.

Hands-On Heroes assembles the most powerful voices across construction, mission-critical infrastructure, power, and design – from general contractors and civil engineers to hyperscale developers, edge and modular data center operators, semiconductor facility builders, AI factory pioneers, MEP specialists, architects, and infrastructure leaders. Hands-On Heroes is a certified 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to empowering children through early exposure to careers in the skilled trades. Our mission is to break stereotypes, promote representation, and introduce kids to the powerful and creative careers that keep our world moving from electricians and heavy equipment operators to carpenters, welders, and beyond.
Through Val’s 21+ years of industry experience, her Hands-On Heroes nonprofit, and her storytelling platforms, Val bridges the gap between boardrooms and jobsites, showing that the future of infrastructure isn’t just powered by data, it’s built by people.
This is where construction meets technology. Where blueprints become reality. Where every megawatt delivered, every rack energized, every facility commissioned, and every community engaged represents the heroic work of the Hands-On Heroes building our tomorrow.
