Send us a textIn this episode, I'm talking about a battle we've all faced at some point: pool pros vs. landscapers and gardeners. Whether it's broken vacuum lines, blown leaves into a freshly cleaned pool, or just bad timing on service days, I've seen it all. I'll share stories, some hard-earned lessons, and ways you can set boundaries and communicate better with the other folks working the same properties. Because the only thing worse than green pool water... is green turf drama.Support the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors! HASA https://bit.ly/HASAThe Bottom Feeder.

TALK TO ME, TEXT ITThe unpredictable dangers that surround us take center stage as I explore how quickly life can change when we least expect it. A Google software engineer's life was tragically cut short by a falling sequoia branch at Yosemite National Park, highlighting the random perils that exist even in nature's most beautiful settings. This sobering reminder of our vulnerability extends to supposed "controlled environments" too, as evidenced by the disturbing incident where an octopus latched onto a six-year-old boy at a Texas aquarium's interactive exhibit, requiring three staff members five minutes to free him.Beyond physical dangers, we're navigating social threats as well. The viral story of a 58-year-old professional who believes his age has rendered him unemployable resonates with many Gen-Xers and Boomers facing similar challenges. With studies showing 90% of workers over 40 experiencing ageism, it's clear that expertise and experience aren't always valued in today's job market. It's particularly frustrating when considering the superior work ethic many older workers bring to the table - something I've witnessed firsthand in my workplace, where punctuality and preparation vary dramatically between generations.My frustration reaches its peak when sharing how my workplace essentially penalized early arrivals by changing policies to accommodate chronically late employees. What kind of system discourages dedication while enabling tardiness? As I wrap up today's episode, I'm on the hunt for new television recommendations - preferably crime fiction without excessive elements, similar to Broadchurch or Landscapers. What are you watching right now that might fit my tastes? I'd love to hear your suggestions for solid, entertaining shows that don't sacrifice quality storytelling for agenda-pushing content.Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREE Thanks for listening!
