CHICAGO, Oct. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — UScellular is expanding its “Life in US Mode” content series to amplify the voices of six female collegiate athletes and promote healthy digital habits. The Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) program aims to spark meaningful discussions and drive awareness about the importance of maintaining a healthy balance between online and real-life connections, especially among female athletes.

UScellular is amplifying the voices of six female collegiate athletes to help promote healthy digital habits.

The increased attention on women’s sports has had an overwhelmingly positive impact, inspiring more young women to envision a future in sports. At the same time, it has also brought additional scrutiny and occasional negativity to the athletes themselves. According to a report conducted by Loughborough University, up to 1/3 of social posts aimed at athletes are negative, and female athletes are disproportionately affected.*

The “Life in US Mode” content series will explore a very topical and inspiring group of female college athletes to share their stories on how they connect with fans online and in real life, block out negativity and stay present in their daily lives. They may also participate in UScellular events during the year to engage with fans. These athletes include:

Brooke Alban, West Virginia University GymnasticsCourtney Colarullo, University of Maine HockeyAudi Crooks, Iowa State University BasketballLia Howard, University of Illinois SoccerDevyn Robinson, University of Wisconsin VolleyballHannah Stuelke, University of Iowa Basketball

“Mental health plays a huge role in the lives of student-athletes. With so many factors out of our control in today’s digital world, practicing healthy habits and sharing our personal stories can make a huge impact,” shared Stuelke. “UScellular’s ‘Life in US Mode’ offers a platform for female student-athletes like me to drive this mission forward, encouraging current and future athletes to set a positive example.”

The series kicks off with an Instagram post from Robinson talking about the importance of connecting with her teammates off the court.

“Through the highs and lows of being a student athlete, I can lean on the connections I’ve made with my teammates to help support me on and off the court,” said Robinson. “I’m really excited to be working with UScellular to help share my story to inspire young female athletes to do the same: to be confident, to cut out the noise, and to achieve their dreams, no matter what.”

UScellular has been a longtime proponent of creating healthier digital habits and launched its “Built For US” platform with “US Mode” in Spring of 2023. This is the third year it has supported collegiate athletes through Name, Image and Likeness opportunities, and this year’s program expands on the “Life in US Mode” series that also includes stories from musicians Chase Rice and Alanis Morissette.

“Sports can be instrumental in young people’s lives, and having athletes to admire can inspire them to confidently follow their own path,” said Verchele Roberts, vice president of brand management at UScellular. “We are in awe of these athletes every day – not only by their in-game performances, but by how they carry themselves outside of competition. Our ‘Life in US Mode’ NIL program is about amplifying their unique voices and understanding the need to be intentional about creating the time and space for the important people in our lives.”

Fans can get in on the action by following UScellular social media accounts or the athletes’ Instagram, TikTok or YouTube accounts.

The leading field service software provider is ushering in a new era in AI-driven solutions and expert insights

SAN DIEGO, Oct. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Workiz, the leading field service management platform with over 120,000 customers, announces the launch of the “Workiz Unplugged” podcast – a dedicated platform that brings the voices of field service professionals to the forefront. This monthly podcast offers valuable insights into how technology, leadership and innovation are shaping the future of the field service industry.

“Field service professionals are the backbone of our economy, yet they often operate behind the scenes,” said Didi Azaria, CEO of Workiz. “With ‘Workiz Unplugged,’ we’re providing a space where HVAC professionals, plumbers, electricians and locksmiths can share their experiences and learn how to grow their business by automating their entire operation utilizing AI. 

As demand grows for automation and business optimization, field service business owners are looking for guidance on how to adapt to these changes. This podcast was created to connect them with experts in AI, business management and leadership who address today’s most urgent challenges, from labor shortages to the effects of emerging technologies. 

Insights from studies like Edison Research’s “The Infinite Dial” and Nielsen Podcast Insights reveal that 26 million people in the U.S. turn to podcasts for business advice. By tackling topics that resonate with business owners and their peers, the podcast offers a platform for exploring the issues shaping the industry’s future and provides actionable solutions to help service professionals thrive in 2024 and beyond.

The episodes take a deep dive into various topics. A recent episode discussed how tradespeople are capitalizing on the surge of private equity interest in the skilled trades. In the episode featuring Patrick Lange, Founder of the Business Modification Group, the conversation centers around this exciting trend. Lange shares practical strategies for preparing a service business to attract investment.

Thomas Scott, CEO and founder of Home Run Franchises, highlights a generational shift in career preferences in a podcast episode. According to the World Economic Forum, in 2024, Gen Z comprises around 20–25% of the U.S. workforce. Scott notes that many Gen Z workers are losing confidence in the value of traditional college degrees. Instead, they are increasingly turning to vocational training and pursuing careers in trades like plumbing and electrical work. 

The podcast also delves into how field service professionals can enhance customer experiences, optimize operations using AI and automation, while also providing valuable insights and actionable tips for building strong teams and fostering a culture of respect and accountability. 

“Workiz Unplugged sets itself apart by focusing not only on technological advancements but also on practical strategies for leadership and business growth,” Azaria said. “It explores the transformative potential of tools like Workiz’s AI assistant, Genius, which revolutionizes scheduling, communication, and workflow management, offering listeners a comprehensive roadmap to success in the modern field service industry.”

“Our goal is to ensure that field service professionals have access to the resources they need to thrive. This podcast is more than just a series of interviews – it’s a community dedicated to innovation and growth in our industry.”
