Episode 82: Wade & Koddi Dunn, Co-Founders of Love Mobile

"We didn't start a company and decide to give back. We decided to give back – and so we started a company!"

– Wade & Koddi Dunn, Co-Founders of Love Mobile, in conversation with Anurag Aggarwal

A single mom. A single dad. A nine-hour online conversation that lasted until sunrise

Eighteen years of marriage, seven children, two companies, and one powerful idea –

What if your monthly phone bill could change the world?

That's the story of Wade and Koddi Dunn!

In this episode of Humans of Telecom, Wade and Koddi open up about:

💕 How they met online before DMs were even a thing – and talked through the night until the sun came up

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Building a blended family of seven children spanning two decades – and why their favourite destination is the family group chat

📱 Love Mobile – the cell phone company built entirely on the belief that every phone bill should give back to the community

🏫 Four pillars of giving: education, the environment, community services, and pet adoption – hyper local, hyper meaningful

🌊 A first date at the aquarium – because when you've talked online for weeks across 600 miles, you make the first meeting count

🎬 A national TV appearance on House Hunters on Vacation – six kids, matching outfits across three days of filming, and memories they still laugh about today

🚗 Wonder trips – no destination, just a full tank of gas, an open road, and a conversation that solves the world's problems before they get back home

📺 Koddi's secret passion – international dramas watched only in their native language, subtitles and all, with their nine-year-old locked in right beside her

❤️ And their shared philosophy – don't just build a business, build a legacy that your children can point to and say, my parents saw a problem and tackled it head on!

From a kitchen table conversation about the state of the world…

to a telecom company that turns every subscriber's bill into an act of love –

Wade and Koddi are proof that the most powerful businesses are built not on strategy, but on purpose, partnership, and an unshakeable belief that people come first!
