Never Stop Learning or You Will Become Obsolete
In this episode of Elevate the Game Podcast, Jorge Abreu sits down with Kevin Haughey, a senior telecommunications leader with decades of experience managing large-scale infrastructure projects across the United States. Kevin has overseen more than 200 concurrent projects and managed over $100 million in capital expenditures, giving him a rare operator’s perspective on execution, efficiency, and long-term value creation.
Kevin shares how he transitioned from commercial construction into telecom during the 4G growth era and why fiber deployments continue to evolve in phases driven by technology adoption rather than consumer demand alone. He explains what’s changing in the telecom landscape today, from BEAD program deployments and fiber-to-the-home expansion to the growing infrastructure demands created by data centers and AI.
The conversation also dives into what truly separates successful operators from the competition. Kevin emphasizes the danger of getting lost in administration and bureaucracy, and why disciplined execution and high-quality teams are the real drivers of results.
One of the most impactful moments of the episode is Kevin’s advice for professionals and business owners who want to stay relevant. He explains why continuous learning is non-negotiable in fast-moving industries, how dedicating just 20 minutes a day can compound over time, and why your network and reputation may be your most valuable long-term assets.
Kevin also shares insights on startups, equity participation, liquidity events, and why true wealth creation often comes from ownership rather than salary alone. The episode wraps with a discussion on leadership, purpose, and Kevin’s upcoming initiatives focused on community, men’s development, and navigating the societal shifts coming with AI.
What does it take to become great at what you do? In this episode, Jorge Abreu talks with Dr. Howard Steinman about learning your craft, working hard, and never stopping your growth. Howard shares how being an expert helped him find new opportunities he never expected. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Be a Guest on Elevate the Game Are you a mover and shaker in the DFW area?
