Tech Talk Unplugged

What does it really mean to connect a community?

In this episode of MegabyteMe, host Adam Geisler sits down with Bob Stovall of Merit Network for a conversation that goes beyond fiber, broadband, and technology. Together, they explore the people, values, and leadership behind the work of connecting communities across America.

From education and healthcare to Tribal and rural broadband, Bob shares the experiences that have shaped his career, the lessons learned from decades of public service, and why integrity and relationships matter just as much as infrastructure.

This isn't just a discussion about networks—it's about purpose, community, and leaving a legacy that improves lives.

In this episode:

• The history and mission of Merit Network
• Leadership and service in broadband
• Lessons from connecting underserved communities
• The human side of technology and infrastructure
• Building trust, purpose, and lasting impact

If you're passionate about broadband, Tribal connectivity, rural infrastructure, leadership, or simply hearing the stories behind the people making a difference, this conversation is for you.
