Instead of hosting, Tim Locker, Vice President of Broadband at CBM, becomes the guest as Brett Cooper takes over the interviewer’s chair. This candid conversation dives into Tim’s 17-year journey at CBM, his transition into broadband leadership, and his vision for breaking down silos within the company to create a stronger “One CBM” culture. Tim opens up about his career path—from construction work and fiber splicing to equipment sales and eventually leading CBM’s broadband initiatives. He shares how his technical background and real-world experience foster trust with customers and empower teammates. The discussion also explores the unique ESOP ownership culture at CBM, why teamwork drives success, and how personal values like family and mentorship shape Tim’s leadership style. Listeners will gain an inside look at the man behind the mic and how his story reflects CBM’s commitment to expertise, collaboration, and growth.
