On Episode 77 of the Residential Tech Talks podcast, Dante Walston joins us from Richmond, VA, where he is co-founder and CEO of IntegrateU, a new custom integration training center that is home to ProSource Academy and embedded inside the integration firm Livewire.
IntegrateU recently announced that it also now an authorized CEDIA Education Partner. Its courses are designed to enable students to attain industry certifications, including CEDIA’s new Cabling & Infrastructure Technician Certification. This new relationship will help fast track students into getting certified soon after graduation. Walston has a diverse retail background and several years in custom integrations, so I’m happy to welcome him to the podcast to learn more about his career and current role leading IntegrateU.
