In this episode, Jason is joined by Jeff Wick, CEO of 2024 Business of the Year award, WTC Fiber. Jeff discusses his background, including his time in Hays, KS, with NextTech and his role in revitalizing downtown through a community-funded brewery. Wick shares WTC’s history, from its establishment in 1912, to expanding its network to 750 square miles of fiber, covering rural areas and small towns. WTC’s initial focus entering the Manhattan community in 2016 was to provide service to local businesses, then expanded to apartments and in 2024, announced a $50 million residential build.
