What do schools, libraries, hospitals, and toilet paper have in common? They all come up in this episode of the UnDisrupted Podcast! Adam and Carl sit down with Joey Wender, a national leader in broadband policy and the newly appointed Executive Director of the SHLB Coalition, for a candid and often humorous look at the state of digital equity in America. From his time overseeing the $10 billion Capital Projects Fund at the U.S. Treasury to his years shaping broadband legislation on Capitol Hill, Joey brings deep expertise and unfiltered insights. They explore the realities of broadband access for anchor institutions, what districts need to know about federal funding, and how to ensure 100/100 Mbps becomes the new normal, not the exception. Tune in to Season 9, Episode 11 of the UnDisrupted Podcast—where policy meets practice, and digital equity gets the mic.
