In this week's Security Sprint, Dave and Andy covered the following topics:Warm Open:Critical infrastructure sectors on the most concerning threats – and needed solutions. “With critical infrastructure constantly under myriad threats, sector-focused information sharing and analysis centers and organizations collect, analyze and disseminate actionable cyber and physical threat information to stakeholders and provide them with tools to mitigate risks and enhance resiliency. To mark Cybersecurity Awareness Month, Threat Beat asked: 1) What is the most pressing short-term security concern in your sector? 2) What is one thing the public and/or industry/government can do now to address this?” Responses include DNG-ISAC, E-ISAC, FB-ISAO, Food and Ag-ISAC, Health-ISAC, MS-ISAC, ONE-ISAC, Space ISAC, and WaterISAC. Main Topics:Canadian Centre for Cyber Security: Alert - AL25-016 Internet-accessible industrial control systems (ICS) abused by hacktivists. In recent weeks, the Cyber Centre and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police have received multiple reports of incidents involving internet-accessible ICS. One incident affected a water facility, tampering with water pressure values and resulting in degraded service for its community. Another involved a Canadian oil and gas company, where an Automated Tank Gauge (ATG) was manipulated, triggering false alarms. A third one involved a grain drying silo on a Canadian farm, where temperature and humidity levels were manipulated, resulting in potentially unsafe conditions if not caught on time.

In this episode of The Pool Guy Podcast Show, I'm exposing a scam that's been making the rounds in our industry and costing pool pros real money. The setup sounds innocent — someone calls saying they're moving in soon and want to hire you for pool service. They send you a check that looks legitimate, but it's written for too much, and then they ask you to forward the extra to another “vendor.” By the time the bank flags the check as fake, you're out hundreds or even thousands of dollars. I'll walk you through exactly how this scam works, the red flags to watch out for, and how you can protect yourself so you don't fall victim.Send us a textSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!

In this episode of The Pool Guy Podcast Show, I'm sharing some of the biggest pool fails I've run into over the years. I'll talk about the headaches of trying to get warranty coverage through a home warranty policy, why salt pools with dead cells can bring everything to a halt, and the hidden dangers of running your pool with low water. I'll also dive into equipment rooms with terrible placement that make servicing nearly impossible, and the long-term disasters I've seen when trees are planted too close to pools and the roots start causing damage.Send us a textSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!

In this episode, I'm going to cover the main appearance problems that affect different pool surfaces — discoloration, mottling, and staining. Whether it's plaster that develops blotchy mottling, quartz that fades unevenly, pebble finishes that pick up scale or stains, fiberglass that yellows, vinyl that wrinkles and discolors, or tile that shows calcium deposits, every surface has its own challenges.Send us a textSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!

Airsupra is a combination inhaler that contains albuterol and budesonide, approved for as-needed use in adults with asthma. It represents the first rescue inhaler to combine a short-acting beta-2 agonist (SABA) with an inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) in a single device. The albuterol component provides rapid bronchodilation by relaxing airway smooth muscle, while budesonide works to reduce airway inflammation and mucus production. This dual mechanism allows Airsupra to not only relieve acute bronchoconstriction but also address the underlying inflammatory process that contributes to asthma exacerbations. Clinically, Airsupra is indicated for as-needed treatment or prevention of bronchoconstriction in adults with asthma, but it is not approved for COPD. The typical dosing is two inhalations as needed, with a maximum of six doses (12 inhalations) in a 24-hour period. The rationale for its use aligns with recent asthma guideline updates, which emphasize minimizing SABA-only use because it fails to address inflammation and may contribute to worse outcomes over time. Common adverse effects include tremor, nervousness, tachycardia, and hypokalemia from albuterol, as well as oral thrush and hoarseness from budesonide. Patients should rinse and spit after each use to reduce the risk of oral candidiasis. Drug interactions can occur with non-selective beta-blockers, which may blunt albuterol's effects. CYP3A4 also plays a role in budesonide metabolism. Systemic absorption typically isn't too much of an issue with infrequent use.

I'm diving into the essentials of pool care—what I personally test for each and every week to keep a pool sparkling and safe.

In this episode, I'm joined again by Terry Arko from HASA to tackle a big topic in pool chemistry — phosphates. We talk about what phosphates are, how they get into your pool, and whether they're really the enemy everyone says they are. Terry breaks down the science behind phosphates, algae growth, and why managing your sanitizer level is still the most important piece of the puzzle. We also clear up a few myths about phosphate removers and when you actually need them. If you've ever wondered why your pool keeps turning green even when your chlorine looks good — this episode will clear things up.Send us a textSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!

Die Wirtschaft in Deutschland wird 2025 gemäß der OECD so wenig wachsen wie in keinem anderen entwickelten Staat. Auch in 2024 und 2023 sah es nicht besser aus. Im Gegenteil. In beiden Jahren schrumpfte die Wirtschaft in Deutschland bei einer Betrachtung der Wachstumsraten auf einer preisbereinigten Basis. In den Medien lesen wir von immer mehr großen Unternehmen, die Stellen abbauen.  Gleichzeitig sehen wir große amerikanische Investoren, die so optimistisch sind für Europa und für Deutschland wie seit Jahrzehnten nicht mehr. "Schlafender Gigant, der erwacht", so charakterisierte ein Mitarbeiter der US-Private-Equity Gesellschaft Apollo Global Management vor wenigen Wochen Deutschland. Auch andere große Private-Equity-Investoren wie Blackstone sind sehr optimistisch für Europa und wollen in den nächsten 10 Jahren bis zu 500 Milliarden US-Dollar in Europa investieren.  Wie passt das zusammen?

Listen now on Apple, Spotify, and YouTube.—In our conversation, we discuss:* Why traditional org charts and career ladders are breaking down and what that means for researchers and designers.* How AI and startup culture are reshaping roles, shrinking teams, and pushing senior-level decisions onto mid-level professionals.* Why most people feel unprepared for their new responsibilities and how to close the gap without waiting for formal mentorship.* How to build your own “board of directors” through small acts of generosity and curiosity.Some takeaways:* Org charts are collapsing and it's changing everything. Many companies, especially in tech, are shrinking their teams while still aiming for scale. That means fewer senior leaders and more ICs making high-stakes decisions without traditional support. The result: mid-level professionals find themselves thrown into strategy roles they never trained for. This indicates a shift in how companies operate at their core.* There's no playbook for where we're headed. You can't Google your way out of the complexity of hybrid roles. When someone's a lead on paper but making director-level calls with no mentorship, the usual advice doesn't cut it. People need better access to real conversations and fast feedback loops. Mindaugas recommends building your own crew of people to talk things through, not just reading another Medium post.* The people who navigate change best aren't trying to be the smartest in the room. They're collecting diverse perspectives, asking for honest takes, and updating their opinions as they learn. In a noisy world of LinkedIn hot takes, this kind of thoughtful input often comes from quiet backchannels. Building those backchannels takes intention, not perfection.* Don't start with the ask. Start with curiosity. One of the best ways to build strong professional relationships is to reach out with zero agenda. A quick note saying “I appreciated your talk/post/article” stands out precisely because nobody does it anymore. When you do that over time, you create a trail of goodwill so when the time comes for an ask, you're not a stranger. Mindaugas shares how this approach helped him build a global network from scratch.* Mid-level is now the pressure point of modern orgs. Senior ICs are being handed business-critical decisions without context, coaching, or peers to learn from. Community matters as a practical scaffolding for decision-making and finding those people is the key to helping you get to your next level, and push through that mid-level ceilingWhere to find Mindaugas:* LinkedInStop piecing it together.

Send us a textRunning a pool service is more than cleaning and balancing water—it's running a business. In this episode, I'm diving into the importance of proper accounting. I'll share how separating business and personal finances saved me a major headache at tax time, why tracking every chemical, part, and mile driven matters, and how simple tools like QuickBooks or even a spreadsheet can keep your cash flow crystal clear. Accounting may not be glamorous, but it's the difference between just getting by and building a profitable pool business. Support the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!

Artificial intelligence is transforming education, and compliance is no exception. In this episode, we discuss how AI is influencing Title IX and Title VI work, from investigations and training to how students search for information about their rights. We begin with a look behind the scenes at ICS, including updates on community partner renewals, new training opportunities, and upcoming Title VI Coordinator courses. From there, we explore three key questions: How is AI changing where students and staff find compliance resources? Can AI tools safely support Coordinators and investigators in their daily work? And how might parties or advisors use AI in Title IX cases? Throughout, we emphasize the importance of accuracy, accessibility, and oversight, reminding listeners that human judgment and empathy must remain at the core of every compliance process. Tune in for practical ways to navigate AI's growing role in education. Key Points From This Episode: Behind the scenes: The busy renewal season for ICS and Community Partners. Popular resources and tools available to ICS Community Partners. Details of our spring training calendar, including the “Compliance Core Four” courses. Live training in Dallas covering compliance essentials for K–12. The growing relevance of AI in Title IX and Title VI compliance.

The risk of misinformation when AI can't locate school policies. Steps for improving website accessibility and plain-language content. How AI tools can support coordinators through transcription and summarization. Guardrails for safe and ethical AI use in compliance work. Risks of bias, overgeneralization, inaccuracy, and loss of context in AI outputs. How parties and advisors may be using AI to prepare Title IX cases.
