BJ Olson built his career in wireless and enterprise technology over more than 20 years. He started his career at Verizon and later expanded into wireline with CenturyLink before returning to the wireless space.
His path from carrier-side sales into entrepreneurship included launching five uBreakiFix electronic repair locations. He also opening South Dakota’s first licensed medical marijuana dispensary, alongside other ventures in real estate. That background as a practicing business owner gives his technology recommendations a grounding that most consultants lack; he has experienced the operational consequences of network failure firsthand, not just in client environments.
At twenty7 Technology Group, BJ works with businesses of all sizes to evaluate, design, and implement connectivity strategies that match how those organizations actually operate. His focus on wireless-first thinking and redundant network architecture reflects both his industry background and the practical realities he has seen across the businesses he has run and supported.
In this episode of Go Beyond the Connection, BJ is joined by his colleague Ryan Olson. Together they make the case that network resilience is not an IT line item, it is operational insurance. Drawing on his experience across retail, healthcare, and multi-location businesses, he explains why a single wired connection is a liability. He further explains how intelligent multi-connection solutions change the equation, and why the cost of staying online is almost always smaller than the cost of going down.
BJ Olson and Ryan Bowden of twenty7 Technology Group explain why businesses that treat connectivity as operational insurance stay running when outages hit everyone else. They cover wireless-first strategy, multi-connection redundancy, network visibility, and the real cost of downtime across locations.
