There is no dispute that fiber training is in high demand. It benefits the installer/technician as well as the company. There are many providers out there and today we look at Fiber Optic Association (FOT) and their CFOT class. We bring on special guest Blake Urmos, founder of Low Voltage Nation because not only did he just complete this class, LVN hosted a fiber class with free scholarships in Jacksonville, FL.

Don't be a one trick pony or company. The more skills you have the more money you can make as a technician or company. Sound-masking is one of those opportunities that could do just that, bring you more money. Is it difficult? Can a Low Voltage contractor do this work? What type of customers are interested in sound-masking? These questions and more are discussed with Chris Germany and Robert Trimble of WP Electric & Communications.

About a year ago I came across Jeff Beavers RCDD OSP at a BICSI conference. While I knew of him I had never met him. We talked and he agreed to be on the show. We talk about BBQ and NECA (who they are, benefits, etc).
