Hanging out with an Icon

Feb. 21, 2014

We videochatted with Season 3 Cabling Icon winner Joenathan Barnes as well as the contest’s organizer Dennis Mazaris.

Recently I participated in a Google Hangout with Dennis Mazaris, president of Concert Technologies and organizer of the annual Cabling Icon contest, and Joenathan Barnes, who won the title of Cabling Icon in the contest’s third season.

Barnes owns and operates MTM Media and Communications; our Hangout with him touched on some of the challenges he faces as a business owner, the perseverance he showed through multiple years as a Cabling Icon contestant, and some of the swag he now proudly displays as the most recent Icon.

You can check out our recorded Hangout with Barnes and Mazaris below.
