🎙️ Real Talk to Inspire, Invest & Empower NCW
Welcome to Networked, a podcast by NCW Tech Alliance — hosted by David Mabee, our Marketing Director and your guide to the stories shaping North Central Washington.
In every episode, David sits down with local innovators, entrepreneurs, and changemakers to uncover the bold ideas being built in our region — and the people behind them.
Each season, we explore what it takes to launch businesses, lead creative ventures, and solve real challenges in tech, education, and community — all from a rural place with big potential. You’ll hear from visionaries who are investing in their communities, inspiring others through their journeys, and empowering the next wave of leaders.
Whether you're a builder, a dreamer, or just curious about what’s possible in NCW — this is the place where ideas take root, stories are shared, and connections are made.

With over 18 years in the janitorial industry, my passion has always been about more than just cleaning—it’s about leadership, growth, and helping others succeed. I’m the proud owner of iPro Building Services, a full-service janitorial company servicing Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. We've been honored two times on the Inc. 5000 list, a testament to the hard work and dedication of our incredible team.
Networking, leading by example, and constantly innovating are core to who I am. Whether it’s guiding my team, developing new solutions, or offering insights to other janitorial businesses, I thrive on seeing others succeed and watching this industry continue to evolve.
