ConectUS Wireless has firmly established The Horn as the flagship video series for channel partners and agents across the U.S. who support the wireless network marketplace for SMBs and enterprise customers. Other established video series on ConectUS.com and MyConectUS.com include TECH TALKS, Partner News – LIVE, Did You Know?, and News Flash!

Over the last few years, ConectUS has been sponsoring NASCAR drivers in Cup Series and NASCAR Saturday races. Indeed, last week we sponsored J.J. Yeley’s NASCAR at Las Vegas Superspeedway. We’ve also featured the ConectUS Car in promotional activities not only online, but also at in-person events such as expos and conferences. For example, the ConectUS Car featured prominently at this year’s Channel Partners Conference. Thus, the ConectUS Car has come to be synonymous with the ConectUS brand.

ConectUS’ video output now includes many topics not related to wireless networks so we’ve decided to sunset The Horn title and launch Winners Circle to include all topics from technology to sports to human interest stories.

Winners Circle will be anchored by Neil Farquharson (pictured here) and will feature guest contributors from relevant industries and sports. Neil will be supported by the ConectUS content teams including Rick James Stapp, Karen Nguyen, and Noah Weber.

J.J. Yeley talks with Neil Farquharson about Leadership

J.J. Yeley, one of ConectUS Racing’s sponsored drivers, spoke with Neil about leadership. From team crew to crew chiefs, to his own father, J.J. tells us what attributes he has observed that make good leaders – leaders who can bring out the best in the people around them.

The post The Horn – An Interview with J.J. Yeley: Leadership appeared first on ConectUS Wireless.

In this episode of The Horn Presents Road to the Race, J.J. Yeley tells Neil Farquharson about his recent successes during the 2023 NASCAR Cup Series. Including a 7th place finish at Atlanta Motor Speedway in July. J.J. is currently driving the #15 Mustang that is serviced by Rick Ware Racing. Rick Ware Racing recently moved from Mooresville, NC to a shop in Concord, North Carolina. And that shop is on the campus of RFK Racing, with which the team began an alliance in 2023.

In this episode, J.J. gives commentaries to video footage of a crash he had in Pocono recently and compares it to a spectacular spin-out he had in the ConectUS car last October. He jokingly reminds Neil of the broadcast television coverage that spin received – and the fantastic exposure it gave the ConectUS Wireless logo.

J.J. continues by updating us on the modifications that will soon be made to the car that will give him an extra ten or so brake horsepower. J.J. is looking forward to October 15 when he will again drive the #15 ConectUS car at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

We demonstrate how easy it is to change the SSID and Password

I asked Greg to tell us how MobileVu came to hear about ConectUS and why they choose ConectUS as their partner. It turns out that MobileVu looked at three potential partners in 2019: “One of the things that appealed to us was the fact that [ConectUS] gave us a lot more scope.” When he and his team talked with ConectUS, they felt it was a great conversation, with ConectUS offering to give support only when MobileVu wanted it, and without imposing conditions.

I then asked Greg to share with us why MobileVu continues to stay with ConectUS. He responded, “It just feels, it’s a very genuine relationship… We feel nothing but support with our choice of ConectUS… and we’ve had some great interaction with [the Verizon team].”
He went on to tell me about many of the benefits of partnering with ConectUS and Verizon: “It’s very clear that there are bigger and better things than just a cellphone. Which is exciting that you have so many more opportunities and so many more products that we can put in front of our customers… to maintain that stickiness and keep that [business customer] relationship moving forward.”
“We’ve had great interactions on getting orders closed… we recently had a big deal that I don’t think we could have closed without [ConectUS’] help.”

The post Why ConectUS: A Conversation with Greg Maciejewski of MobileVu appeared first on ConectUS Wireless.

During our initial conversation, David used the term “team” several times. I asked him why he so often refers to the team rather to than his own racing skills. He responded that “it’s a people sport” and went on to describe the many job specialties and skill-sets of the people who make up his team, and how they collaborate together, “for one common goal.”

“If everybody does their job, and takes pride in the work they do, that recipe equals success.”

David says that, in general, people are competitive: we’re always looking for an edge over the competition. This is fine when that drive works to support the team. However, when a team member is working to elevate themself rather than to support the team, the team suffers. However, David cautions that when we just let that person go, or in David’s words, “relieve him or her of her duties,” there is a danger that, “they may go over to a competitor and they can take some of [our team’s knowledge] and they can share it with that other team.” “Thankfully,” says David, “we don’t have a lot of politics in our sport.”

We then talked about trust. At 190 miles per hour, David places his trust in his team every weekend. In his words, “there’s a lot at stake for the driver.” However, “working in NASCAR at the top level of auto racing, these people have gained the right to be there. They’ve worked their way up from the bottom, and they’ve shown that they have the expert knowledge” to be trusted with keeping the drivers safe.

I’m looking forward to my next conversation with David Starr. David is a veteran racing driver who participates in several NASCAR series. ConectUS and Kyocera International, Inc. are delighted to be sponsoring David and his car in the NASCAR Cup Series race scheduled for October 17 at Texas Motor Speedway. The race is due to be broadcast live on NBC.
