Humans of Telecom ranks #5745 on The B2B Podcast Index with a substance score of 38.0 out of 100, scored across 1 recent episode. It scores highest on guest caliber and originality. Wade and Cody are genuine entrepreneurs who built and exited a streaming company before founding an MVNO, which gives them real-world credibility. However, the conversation never surfaces their actual telecom or operational expertise, and they present more as purpose-driven lifestyle entrepreneurs than deep-domain telecom practitioners.
Averaged across 1 recently scored episode, with cited evidence.
The episode is dominated by personal anecdotes, family backstory, a reality TV segment, and hobbies. The only substantive business point offered is a single statistic about nonprofit funding shortfalls and a high-level description of the giving-back model, with no operational depth whatsoever for a B2B operator.
“80% of nonprofits will not hit their budgets this year”
“We didn't start a company and decide to give back. We decided to give back. So we started a company.”
The MVNO-as-philanthropy vehicle is a modestly interesting structural idea, but it is never explored with any depth or contrarian reasoning. The conversation retreats into platitudes about purpose, love, and community impact that are entirely recycled.
“I want you to remember my impact”
“for the purpose can we not work together?”
Wade and Cody are genuine entrepreneurs who built and exited a streaming company before founding an MVNO, which gives them real-world credibility. However, the conversation never surfaces their actual telecom or operational expertise, and they present more as purpose-driven lifestyle entrepreneurs than deep-domain telecom practitioners.
“we had a successful technology, ah, streaming company. And once we exited that streaming company”
“we jumped in the corporate space. Took alexperience and jumped in the corporate space”
Almost no concrete data is provided: no subscriber counts, no per-bill giving amounts, no partner nonprofits named, no revenue figures, no pricing, and the prior streaming company is never named or quantified. The lone statistic offered is a vague industry claim with no sourcing.
“80% of nonprofits will not hit their budgets this year”
“we had a lot of clients from across the globe”
The host asks exclusively soft, open-ended lifestyle questions and never probes the business model, unit economics, competitive positioning, or philanthropic measurement. A two-truths-and-a-lie game and extended discussion of reality TV appearances consume meaningful airtime with no follow-up challenge anywhere in the episode.
“Tell us a bit more about Love Mobile. What's that all about?”
“Beyond this wonderful family of yours and the family chat which keeps you energized, what do you guys have as passions and hobbies?”
