Nation, for the 2nd week of this year's Legionella Awareness Month, I am bringing back Dr. Janet Stout to talk about what we, as Water Treaters, need to know about Legionella, what's new in Legionella risk management, ASSE-12080 Certification Training, and many more. Buckle your seatbelts because this is going to be one groundbreaking conversation! Dr. Janet E. Stout is the Executive Vice President and founder of Special Pathogens Laboratory, A Pace laboratory. She is also a research associate professor at the University of Pittsburgh Swanson School of Engineering in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. Dr. Stout is a globally-recognized infection disease microbiologist sought out for her seminal discoveries and pioneering research in Legionella. Her expertise includes prevention and control strategies for Legionnaires' Disease in building water systems. In more than 30 years that Dr. Stout has been doing research, her research has been published in peer-reviewed medical and scientific journals. She has also authored textbook chapters on Legionella and Legionnaires' Disease, one of which is the Legionella chapter in the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC) Text. Dr. Stout also assisted in developing the first Legionella prevention guideline in the United States (published in 1993). It has continued to serve as a framework for future national and global health agencies and organizations.  Dr. Stout currently serves on the ASHRAE Legionella Standard Committee Guideline 12 and the Committee for ANSI/ ASHRAE Standard 188-2015, Legionellosis: Risk Management for Building Water Systems, which was the first US standard for Legionella risk management. Special Pathogens Laboratory, together with the American Society of Sanitary Engineers (ASSE) and the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO) created the first certification for Legionella risk management, ASSE-12080, and Dr. Stout is the first certified instructor of the ASSE-12080 Legionella Water Safety and Management Specialist Certification Training. Bottom line: Dr. Janet E. Stout will share with us what water treaters need to know about Legionella.  Your roadside friend, as you travel from client to client.  -Trace    Timestamps:  Continuing the celebration of Legionella Awareness Month and other events in Water Treatment [01:29] Thinking On Water With James [06:02]  Welcoming back Legionella Expert, Dr. Janet E.

[50:30] Lightning round questions [52:35]   Thinking On Water With James: In this week's episode, we're thinking about corrosion coupons. Do you use corrosion coupons in all of your accounts? Why or why not? Do you use pretreated or pre-stressed coupons? Why or why not? Why should you avoid touching fresh, new coupons with your fingers when installing? Do you consider the orientation of the coupons when installing them? Do you install them so the flat side is vertical or horizontal or have you never thought of this? We've previously thought about the order of the coupons but now's another good time to think about that, too. How many days do you leave them in the system? What would be the impact of removing them sooner rather than later? What can be determined by visually observing the corrosion coupons upon removal? How do you communicate the results? Do you save the old ones for annual reviews, take a picture or scan, or dispose of them? Take this week to think about corrosion coupons and how to most effectively use them.    Quotes: “Everyone needs to be aware that ASHRAE Standard 188-2018 and Guideline 12-2020 are in continuous maintenance.” - Dr. Janet E. Stout “Standard 514P is a new proposed standard from ASHRAE.” - Dr. Janet E. Stout “There is a real need for input from people in Water Treatment to comment on Legionella standards.” - Dr. Janet E. Stout “If any facility should be testing for Legionella, it should be healthcare.” - Dr. Janet E. Stout “When it comes to Legionella, any gaps in knowledge need to be filled, so I worked to make education standards for Legionella.”  - Dr. Janet E. Stout “We (Special Pathogens Lab) stepped into the role of one of the first instructors to deliver training so people could sit for the certification exam and get the credential as a Certified Legionella Water Safety and Management Specialist.” - Dr. Janet E. Stout “When you are doing Water Management, you're using testing for Legionella to validate that the plan is working.” - Dr. Janet E. Stout “Percent of Positivity: If more than 3 out of 10 faucets or showers are positive for Legionella (in a hospital), we would see a Legionnaires Disease Case.” - Dr. Janet E. Stout “You can't completely eliminate Legionella, whether it's from a cooling tower or a potable water distribution system. You can knock it down, you can hold it down with water treatment, but you can't eliminate it.” - Dr. Janet E. Stout “Sterilization is impossible when it comes to Legionella. Disinfection will be dependent on the type of system you are treating.” - Dr. Janet E. Stout “We're not asking people to get to zero Legionella, we're asking people to get zero cases of Legionnaires Disease.  - Dr. Janet E. Stout “It's not happiness that brings gratitude, it's gratitude that brings happiness.” - Unknown   Connect with Dr. Janet E.

Julie and Casey sit down with legendary San Francisco dancer and drag performer, Monique Jenkinson, aka FAUXNIQUE to talk about performing femininity, both through drag and not, finding authenticity through practices of artifice, and the journey of a Good Dance Student to nightclub performer, and get some San Francisco Dragucation.  *Note- we use the “c***” word a LOT in this episode, so take care for sensitive ears. TOP TAKEAWAYS Drag is not (just) men in heels—it’s a rich, smart, funny, scrappy performance tradition that uses the body and artifice to access larger themes. Other kinds of drag performance of femininity include the good girl persona, and the world of ballet. Your curiosity is a prelude to discovering your wants- conditioning can make wants hard to identify, curiosity allows you to find them, lose them and find them again. Owning your curiosity, desires, and wants is crucial Practices of artifice can be a version of authenticity Balance is the answer to binaries—balance allows for dynamic movement and change between points. Your strut is the embodiment of your energy as you enter a space, whether that is virtual or physical, and being with your right to be seen with the willingness to contribute what you have. Please join us next week for a Strut Workshop with Monique 4/28 4pm PST/7pm EST.  Details are HERE:  https://vitalvoicetraining.com/labs Find Monique at fauxnique.net ODC June Performance:  https://www.odc.dance/festival Other People and Events Mentioned in the episode: Heklina:  https://www.dragtimewithheklina.com/ Juanita More https://juanitamore.com/ TrannyShack https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0468563/ Prince “Cream” https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0468563/ PJ Harvey Sheela Na Gig: https://youtu.be/Sjxr_No-yuY Ana Matronic and Scissor Sisters https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scissor_Sisters About Monique Jenkinson: "I am an artist, performer, choreographer and writer. I made herstory as the first cis-woman to win a major drag queen pageant and subsequently my solo performance works have toured nationally and internationally in wide-ranging contexts from nightclubs to theaters to museums — from Joe’s Pub, New Museum and the historic Stonewall in New York City, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, ODC Theater, The Stud, CounterPulse and de Young Museum in San Francisco, and in Seattle, Los Angeles, New Orleans, Provincetown, London, Edinburgh, Berlin, Zürich, Paris, Reykjavik, Rome, Catania and Cork. I have created space for kids to dress drag queens at a major museum and created college curricula. I played the DIRT (originated by Justin Vivian Bond) in Taylor Mac’s Lily’s Revenge and Eurydike in Anne Carson’s ANTIGONICK. I engaged in public conversation with Gender Studies luminary Judith Butler and RuPaul bestie Michelle Visage within days of each other. I am currently writing a memoir. Honors include residencies at Headlands Center for the Arts, Tanzhaus Zürich and Atlantic Center for the Arts, an Irvine Fellowship and residency at the de Young Museum, GOLDIE and BESTIE awards and 7X7 Magazine’s Hot 20. I have been nominated for the Theater Bay Area, Isadora Duncan Dance (IZZIE) and Herb Alpert Foundation awards and have received support from San Francisco Arts Commission, Foundation for Contemporary Arts, CHIME, Center for Cultural Innovation and the Kenneth Rainin and Zellerbach Family foundations."

Often, when it comes to the legal aspects of our business, it can seem a little bit scary. But when we’re stacking our team, legal aspects simply cannot be ignored or put aside for another day! For any small business the legal foundation needs to be there so that you can scale with ease.   On this episode of the podcast, Shelli Warren talks to Danielle Liss (second time returner on the podcast!) about the basic contracts that you need in place to grow your business.

Surrendering control is something that many of us struggle with. But, if we want to take the next step in scaling our businesses, learning how to let go of control and embrace the freedom that comes from it will often pave our path to growth and prosperity.   Join me as I coach Alex Gourlay and help her to let go of some of her responsibilities in her business, delegate to other team members and put the growth of her business into motion. It wasn’t that long ago when Alex launched her Australian based interior design firm and since hanging the ‘open’ sign on her door, her business has grown lightning fast.  When a business takes off quickly, it can feel like you’re either on top of the world or the weight of the world is on your shoulders. You want to continue to grow your business, but you’re stuck doing all of the things in your business. You’re doing the tech, admin, sales, and everything in-between. Being this high-functioning is great and definitely will help you achieve that six-figure business and beyond, but can you really scale your business when you’re wearing so many hats?  Tune in to hear how I help Alex let go of control in her rapidly growing interior design firm and how this will help her scale her business.   In this episode, we discuss:  Why you should take more initiative in your business decisions  How outsourcing can help you create passive income   How to come up with a flat fee per service and build an effective payment structure   Join the BizChix Community  Connect With Alex Gourlay  Website  LinkedIn   Facebook  Instagram  Email Books, Tools or Events Mentioned:  KOLBE Assessment  The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks  R.E.S.E.T.

Are product-based businesses the most difficult to launch and scale? There are many reasons why I ask this question. For one thing, product-based businesses have a lot of moving parts to them and higher costs than service-based businesses. You’ve got a lot to think about on top of the actual product you’re selling such as packaging, product photos, shipping, returns and so much more.  So, when Julie Ball first told me about her idea to grow a unique subscription box business, I was a little hesitant and honestly, worried for her. A product-based business is difficult enough, but a subscription box business has even more components to it. However, Julie was able to leverage her corporate background as a digital marketer, her experience working with women entrepreneurs and her own website design and development firm, to make her subscription box business a success.  I love it when someone proves me wrong with their success, and this is exactly what Julie did with her “Sparkle, Hustle, Grow” subscription box business for female entrepreneurs. Inside each box, her subscribers uncover tools, training, and resources to help them grow their business.   Hear how Julie went from ground zero to hero in just two years on this episode of the podcast!  In this episode, we discuss:  Why you need to know your ideal customer and what they want from you  How to make a product-based business a profitable success  How to figure out your churn rate and develop additional streams of revenue  Save $5 on your first monthly order of the ‘Sparkle, Hustle, Grow’ Subscription Box when you enter code BIZCHIX at checkout!  Join the BizChix Community  Connect With Julie Ball  Website  Blog   Facebook  Instagram  Books, Tools or Events Mentioned:  Sparkle, Hustle, Grow’s Work Hard Play Hard Retreat 2019  BizChix Episodes Mentioned:  363: Hit Your Next Goal with a Six Week Sprint  364: Lessons From My First Business  170: Shark Tank Entrepreneur “Behind the Ink” Sherisse Hawkins  164: Sonia Kanner of hipS-sister   Listen to Stacking Your Team    Work with Us:  One Day Mastermind  GrowthChix Accelerator Program  ProfitChix Mastermind  CEOCHIX Mastermind  Strategy Session  Join the BizChix Community  This episode was first published at BizChix.com/365. Subscribe to our sister podcast, Stacking Your Team, on your podcast app or listen at https://bizchix.com/category/team/.

Learning how to run a profitable business takes time. Despite what some people might have you believe, we’re not born equipped with all the knowledge and wisdom we need to become a successful entrepreneur. Life teaches us those things.   You might have the fundamentals of running a business down to a tee, but it’s not until you’re in the trenches of your business that you gain a wealth of knowledge and finally understand what it takes to be a business owner.  I’ve learned a lot throughout my career. But, the lessons I learned back in my first business, have arguably been the most impactful on me and my career. In this episode of the podcast, I take you back in time to my very first business and share the seven most valuable lessons I learned that impact how I run BizChix today.  So, what are you waiting for?

Ready to think smaller? Over the last five years of coaching woman entrepreneurs, I’ve observed that the most successful businesses focus on a small group of people. Specializing, or niching down, is actually one of the scariest things to do. But it offers benefits for your business -- whether you are growing from 5 to 6 figures or establishing yourself as a thought leader in your industry. Today I coach Evelyn Cucchiara who is the proud owner of a micro-niche business. A micro-niche serves a smaller group of consumers from a broader market.  Evelyn is looking for help on how to grow her custom playroom organization business. She wants to increase profitability and attract more premium paying clients. During this on air coaching call, we explore whether or not Evelyn should expand to serving other areas of the home and discuss whether she is charging enough for her services. We dive into the importance of knowing your worth and why you shouldn’t feel guilty about raising your prices. In this episode, we discuss: How to shift from DIY clients to WTC clients (people who ‘write the check’) Tips for getting more visibility for your micro-niche business Why (and how) to market your business on Instagram and Facebook Join the BizChix Community Connect With Evelyn Cucchiara The Toy Tamer LinkedIn Facebook Instagram YouTube Email: evelyn@TheToyTamer.com Books, Tools or Events Mentioned: 30 Days To An Organized Home BizChix Live Blue Ocean Strategy BizChix Episodes Mentioned: 354: [On Air Coaching] How to Specialize with Sommer Poquette 332: [On Air Coaching] How to Get More Time and Control with Deanna Gillingham 331: [On Air Coaching] How to Decide Whether to Specialize with Louise Brogan 330: [On Air Coaching] When to Hire in a Rapidly Growing Business with Marcella De Laurentiis 329: [On Air Coaching] How to Pick a Niche with Anne Torrez 328: [On Air Coaching] How to Choose Between Opportunities with Casey Gromer 327: [On Air Coaching] How to Get Paid with Michelle Allen Listen to Stacking Your Team Work With Natalie: CEOCHIX Mastermind ProfitChix Mastermind Strategy Session   This episode was first published at BizChix.com/358.

One of the common misconceptions about Agile is that there's no documentation. This simply isn't true. The second line of the Agile Manifesto reads: “Working software over comprehensive documentation” This doesn’t mean that we don’t have documentation. It just means that the folks who created the manifesto did not see the value in delivering the documentation at the expense of delivering working, tested software. In a recent Certified ScrumMaster class in NYC, one student raised an issue she was experiencing with her Development Team who is deeply committed to the “no documentation” camp. In this podcast, Dave Prior is joined by Anil Jaising (who helped to facilitate the New York class) to discuss the myth of no documentation, the truth about documentation in Agile, and how that can play out in a highly regulated/audited environment.
