Morning thoughts from the beach…

Continuous learning isn’t optional anymore. It’s the backbone of every resilient team in tech.

I see this every day at UponAI and Networking Solutions, Inc. The pace of change in AI and communications doesn’t slow down for anyone. You either grow with it, or you get left behind.

That’s why our leadership makes ongoing education and mentorship a priority—not a perk.

Some stories stick with me, like Eric’s journey. Twenty-four years with us. Not because he stayed in one role, but because he kept learning, adapting, and mentoring others.

Here’s what I believe builds a strong team:

→ Encourage upskilling, not just for new hires, but for everyone.

→ Invest in mentorship. Learning from those who have “been there” changes everything.

→ Celebrate growth. Careers, not just jobs.

When we focus on continuous learning, we don’t just fill positions—we foster careers. Our team becomes more adaptable, more resilient, and ready for the next shift in tech.

The real win? People stay because they grow. They become mentors themselves. The cycle continues.

AI and communications will keep evolving. Our strategy is simple: keep learning, keep sharing, keep growing together.
