Grab a chair (and maybe a hard hat) because things are about to get real—and really funny. In the lively inaugural episode of Talk Fiber to Me, Baby, Caleb and Josh Etheridge—the dynamic brother duo behind EPC—share their journey in the world of connectivity. Spoiler alert: it’s about way more than just fiber deployment.With stories that are equal parts gritty and hilarious, the brothers share how they went from humble beginnings to building a company that’s not just about laying fiber but bridging communities. From their first client meeting, where they tried to act like they had it all together, to accidentally turning their first job site into an unplanned water park, Caleb and Josh keep it real.Their signature mix of humor and hustle shines as they dive into navigating government funding (yes, it’s as fun as it sounds), building a company culture that doesn’t suck, and tackling the very real challenges of getting fiber networks up and running. You’ll hear about missteps, like the time they definitely hit something they shouldn’t have, and victories, like turning a back-of-the-napkin idea into a thriving enterprise.This episode is packed with insights for ISPs, entrepreneurs, and industry professionals—delivered with the kind of wit and wisdom that only comes from two brothers who’ve seen it all (and lived to podcast about it).Oh, and don’t miss the teaser for future episodes. Expect top-notch guests to join the fun, covering everything from workforce development to deployment strategies and insider tips on navigating programs like BEAD and USDA ReConnect, and many more!So, grab your coffee—or something stronger—and join Caleb and Josh as they talk fiber, connection, and the occasional chaos of doing what they love.
