Welcome back to another episode of Living Your Legacy podcast. For Inside Success, I'm Ray Gutierrez. Today, another legacy maker, Clayton Curtis. Bub, how are you feeling, my friend, from top-tier line work?
I'm feeling good. Feeling good. You better be.
We just finished filming your episode.
I know, yeah. How do you feel? Man, it was like everything was coming at once, and I didn't know what to say sometimes, but I think it went all right. Right on, dude. Where are you coming from? Branson, Missouri. Right on, dude.
Are you often in Miami?
Never in Miami ever in my life until today, until yesterday. And I will ride it out until Tuesday because we'll see what Miami is about. Cool. Well, I hope day one didn't disappoint. No, no, it didn't.
Well, you're in for a treat. You're in for quite a summer because quite for a weekend. I think it's a holiday on Monday.
Yeah. Yeah. Labor Day.
Right on. Well, welcome. Welcome aboard, dude. What are we going to learn about you in your episode?
uh you guys are going to learn uh basically kind of my backstory um to where how i became entrepreneur kind of what drove me as my work drive um and then you're going to learn about top tier line works the company that i've built um kind of what we mean and you know what what we do we're a communication business so we build um what you stream off of all the internet that's provided to you um our lineman crew is the is the ones that place it so Whenever you hear linemen, I mean, obviously most people think power linemen or we're putting power back on top tier partners with co-ops to put up their fiber because they don't know much about fiber.
So you're literally the series of tubes. That's right.
Holy shit. I am starstruck. You are a celebrity in my field. Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
So we provide a meme in the 90s. The internet is a series of tubes. My God.
Yes. It's wonderful. That's right. Nice to meet you. So yeah, we provide all the fiber optics around. We get a lot of gamers, streamers that love it.
Holy shit. I love our Beavis and Butthead laugh. Dude, I am starstruck. What a way to end Fridays. I love this.
How did Clayton Curtis become an entrepreneur in fiber optics?
Yeah.
So how the hell do you make the world, I don't know, move? Like, what's the... It's got to be a pain in the ass to get fiber through the ground, all the regulations, all the bullshit. It is. Like, Google versus AT&T, please walk me through the nightmare.
So, like, people don't understand, like, fiber... So let's say, for instance, a 48 count. That's a fiber that we put up that's pretty popular, right? So when you look at it, it's just a black tube that's like this, that's coated. But then when you crack into it, it's got 48 fibers that is in there. And these fibers are like, if you pull a hair and you look at a hair, that's what they look like. And they're glass tubes. And so... What a lot of people don't understand is when these fiber runs that we get put on, they're no-cut fiber runs. So they'll like to start from point A, and you're going to pull it to point B 15,000 foot down. Yeah. through zigzags and through 90s without breaking any of these fiber tubes.
Holy moly. Yeah, yeah. And so we'll go through and jig out. We'll have to, like, let's say we get a 15,000-foot run. We'll have to set up in the middle or find a breaking point, send it one way, tension back to that trailer, and then spit out the remaining footage and go the other way because when that fiber gets put under a certain pressure of a bend radius, you'll ruin your whole run. Holy moly. And I've got to pay for that. Sure.
Shit, that sounds intense. Before we get to the nitty-gritty, literally, this literally sounds like Roswell technology. I've got to say, internet, fiber, Blackhawks. It's crazy. do you feel sometimes like this is not human tech?
No, absolutely. I mean, absolutely. And I'm the one that's installing it. And so it gets crazy because like you could take a whole reel of 20,000 foot reel untouched on, just crack it open and shine a light. Like we'll have, we'll have, yeah, we'll have a light that testing the light and we'll shine it at the end of that tube or the end of that fiber.
