Retrograding VillainsRevisiting the Medicine of Each Inner VillainIn this episode, Kristina and Anna step back and do something essential. They revisit every Inner Villain, not to re-explain the theory, but to clarify the medicine. What actually helps. What works in real life. What moves someone out of being stuck.This conversation reframes villain work as inversion, retrograde, and polarity shifts. Nothing to purge. Nothing to fix. Just learning how to move differently with what already exists.Stuckness is the real enemy. Movement is the cure.Core ThemeRetrograding a Villain means changing the spin, not erasing the trait.Every villain contains intelligence. When that intelligence freezes, it becomes destructive. When inverted, it becomes power.This episode walks through each villain with:A grounded overviewThe Hero form (the inversion)The Legend form (integrated mastery)Practical, lived examples of medicineVillain-by-Villain Breakdown1. Obedient CriticCore wound: Belonging, hierarchy, credentialsHero: The AnarchistLegend: The EqualizerMedicine:Break inherited hierarchies without trying to destroy everyone elsePlay consciously with power dynamics instead of submitting to themPractice lowering yourself in hierarchies you secretly worshipPractical example:Deliberately stop being “the competent one.” Let others rise. Let systems wobble. Watch what equalizes.2. Vengeful MartyrCore wound: AbandonmentHero: The Self-Possessed (Selfish, in the healthy sense)Legend: The NourisherMedicine:Use resources instead of martyringAsk for help without explaining or over-justifyingMake yourself obsolete on purposePractical examples:Pool childcare, money, laborOutsource tasks you secretly hoardStop being the only one who knows how things workMartyrdom is not generosity. It is control disguised as virtue.3. Vain ControllerCore wound: Status, image, worthHero: The UnveiledLegend: The InventorMedicine:Reveal vulnerability without collapsingConfess judgment instead of acting it outUse resources to create, not to provePractical example:Say out loud what you are afraid of being seen as. Especially to the people you subtly judge.4. Eternal ChildCore wound: Entitlement, victimhood, arrested developmentHero: The ReflectiveLegend: The TravellerMedicine:Radical self-reflectionMoral inventoryRecognizing available choicesA key insight discussed through The Choice:Victimhood comes from believing you have no choice.Practical tools:Mirror workAsking “Where did I participate?”Listing real choices, not imagined constraints5.

In this episode, Ronn and Mike look at John 9, reading through the extended story of the man born blind who is healed by Jesus. They discuss the significance of some of the interesting details of the story, including why Jesus patched the man's eyes with spittle, and why he had the man go a half-mile away to wash in the Pool of Siloam. Ronn recommended that the use of "sinner" in the story hearkens back to the OT understanding that this was a category akin to someone outside the covenant of Israel, as opposed to someone who simply was guilty of sin. Closing discussion noted how the man was led to confess to Jesus that he believed in the "Son of Man," a title reminiscent of Daniel 7's role of the messiah.

Pools don't fail just from age or weather; they fail when chemistry, circulation, and surface type don't match. We dig into the real-world differences between vinyl, fiberglass, plaster, and pebble finishes, showing how each material changes your approach to water balance, sanitizer levels, and maintenance. From ground prep that keeps nutgrass from piercing vinyl to the warranty risks of using trichlor tablets with fiberglass, we share the practical moves that help surfaces last and water stay clear.We talk through why vinyl and fiberglass often hold pH more steadily than plaster, and how colored plaster's mottling can be an installation issue, not a chemistry fix. For pebble and exposed aggregate pools, we explain why texture invites calcium scale and algae, how diamond polishing reduces crevices, and why circulation time and brushing frequency matter more than quick, short filter cycles. If your above‑ground kit shipped with a tiny filter, a weak pump, and no timer, you'll learn why upgrading equipment is the fastest path to clarity and chemical efficiency.Our central takeaway: set free chlorine based on cyanuric acid, not a fixed chart. Aiming at 7.5 percent of CYA offers reliable algae control even in high‑stabilizer water, and adding borates to 50 ppm makes it harder for algae to start in the first place. Pair this with thoughtful calcium targets—lower for vinyl and fiberglass, higher for plaster—plus consistent pH control and solid circulation, and you'll prevent stains, scale, and blooms before they begin. • Prep and support for vinyl liners, including nutgrass control• Why acid damages vinyl color and trichlor tablets stain fiberglass• How vinyl and fiberglass differ from plaster in pH and alkalinity behavior• Target calcium levels: lower for vinyl and fiberglass, higher for plaster• Undersized equipment in above‑ground kits and smart upgrades• Pebble challenges with calcium and algae and how polishing helps• Circulation time, brushing and robotic cleaners to stop footholds• Chlorine as 7.5 percent of Send us a textSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!

Pool Pros text questions hereIt's the day after Christmas, and Rudy is not here to sing carols—he's here to correct one of the most common (and most expensive) field habits in pool service: measuring dry chemicals like you're baking cookies. The “two cups equals a pound” rule gets dragged into the sunlight, and then the episode pivots into a full chemistry fundamentals reset that separates pool-water reality from industrial-label marketing.Rudy breaks down the difference between “available chlorine” and “active strength,” explains why “stronger chlorine” is a myth once it hits the water, and connects that misunderstanding to overdosing, misapplied shock treatments, and combined chlorine problems that never seem to resolve. He also lays out the most overlooked concept in pool operations: oxidation and disinfection are not the same job, don't happen on the same timeline, and don't respond the same way to “just add more chlorine.”If you've ever heard “cal-hypo is stronger,” “it's almost as strong as chlorine gas,” or “hit it with 10x and it'll break,” this episode is your reset button.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeRudy digs into the stuff that gets repeated in the industry until it sounds true:Why “2 cups = 1 lb” is a trap A pound is weight. A cup is volume. Different products—even the same chemical at the same percentage—can take up very different space depending on bulk density, granule size, moisture, and how it packs in a scoop.The only responsible way to measure dry chems A scale is the gold standard. But if you're stuck doing field conversions, Rudy explains how to use the SDS to get the one number that matters: bulk density.The correct pounds-to-cups method (no guessing, no folklore) Rudy shows the logic: convert 1 lb to grams, convert grams to volume using bulk density, then convert that volume into cups. He also explains why SDS sheets often give ranges, and why that's a red flag for “one universal scoop.”Available chlorine vs. active strength Available chlorine is a comparison metric—industrial chemistry language. Active strength is concentration—how much product you need to hit a target ppm. Mixing these concepts is where dosing myths come from.The “chlorine identity” myth Once dissolved, product identity doesn't matter the way people talk about it. Pool water doesn't contain “liquid chlorine” or “cal-hypo chlorine.” It contains free chlorine species in equilibrium, governed mainly by pH (and heavily influenced by cyanuric acid in stabilized pools).Why oxidation ≠ disinfection (and why that matters) Disinfection is a biological kill/inactivation mechanism driven largely by hypochlorous acid. Oxidation is electron-transfer chemistry attacking ammonia, urea, sweat, and organics. They don't behave the same, and more chlorine doesn't magically turn slow oxidation into fast oxidation.Why shocking can make combined chlorine look worse Rudy explains how organic nitrogen doesn't “break clean” like ammonia-based breakpoint assumptions. Sometimes adding more chlorine increases chlorinated intermediates—so CC goes up before it goes down, or never resolves the way people expect.Cyanuric acid changes the gameWhere modern systems are headedNon-chlorine oxidizers (MPS) in plain English Support the showThank you so much for listening!

Fresh plaster only gets one chance to cure right, and most problems start before the first cannonball. We dive straight into the real-world startup decisions that determine whether your pool finishes smooth and stain‑free or inherits permanent issues. With veteran insights from chemical expert Bob Lowry, we compare the big methods—barrel, traditional, and acid—and map clear rules of thumb for when each one makes sense based on source water and surface type.We get practical fast: test the fill water before you open the hose, set calcium to at least 150 ppm on day one, and decide how to handle metals the smart way. You'll hear why hose‑end pre‑filters beat sequestering agents, how to use skimmer removal media effectively, and why sequestering alone fails as it breaks down under sunlight and chlorine. We also unpack the plaster dust problem, showing how a slightly low pH keeps dust soluble without risking surface burn, and why cartridges outperform sand when you need to capture fines.New plaster is fragile, so we outline the non‑negotiables: never stop the initial fill, protect the surface from hose damage, keep wheels and robots off for weeks, and keep pets and people out until balance stabilizes. Whether you're a service pro scaling up or a homeowner protecting a six‑figure investment, this guide gives you the steps, targets, and tools to start clean and stay clean. If this helped you sharpen your startup playbook, follow the show, share it with a colleague, and leave a quick review so more pool owners and pros can find it.• why startups shape the life of the surface• barrel vs traditional vs acid methods and where each fits• testing fill water for calcium, alkalinity, copper and iron• hitting 150 ppm calcium on day one for balance• removing metals with pre‑filters and skimmer media• limits of sequestering agents and why they degrade• managing plaster dust with controlled pH and filtration• new plaster cautions: continuous fill, no wheels, no pets• recovery steps when builders skip startup• rSend us a textSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!

Tuesday – John 9:1-11As Jesus went along, he saw a man blind from birth. 2 His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”3 “Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him. 4 As long as it is day, we must do the works of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work. 5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”6 After saying this, he spit on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, and put it on the man's eyes. 7 “Go,” he told him, “wash in the Pool of Siloam” (this word means “Sent”). So the man went and washed, and came home seeing.8 His neighbors and those who had formerly seen him begging asked, “Isn't this the same man who used to sit and beg?” 9 Some claimed that he was.  Others said, “No, he only looks like him.” But he himself insisted, “I am the man.”10 “How then were your eyes opened?” they asked.11 He replied, “The man they call Jesus made some mud and put it on my eyes. He told me to go to Siloam and wash. So I went and washed, and then I could see.”5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”6 After saying this, he spit on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, and put it on the man's eyes. 7 “Go,” he told him, “wash in the Pool of Siloam” (this word means “Sent”). So the man went and washed, and came home seeing.8 His neighbors and those who had formerly seen him begging asked, “Isn't this the same man who used to sit and beg?” 9 Some claimed that he was.  Others said, “No, he only looks like him.” But he himself insisted, “I am the man.”

Hey, it's Dave! In this episode (which uses chapters FYI), I take you through a year-end wrap-up, sharing stories, rants, insights, and predictions about the world of podcasting. Here are the main points I covered:1. A Christmas Story with a Lesson for PodcastersI kicked things off with a humorous Christmas tale about the Cridland Boys Choir, and what happens when you keep loosening your standards just to hit a target—a not-so-subtle lesson for the podcasting world.2. Pushing Back on Changing Definitions in PodcastingI strongly disagreed with Steve Goldstein and Jay Nachlis' take that YouTube should be considered podcasts. (also TikTok, and Newsletters).I emphasized that a podcast, by definition, is audio, video, or PDF delivered via RSS—without that, it's not a podcast.3. Why "Everything Is a Podcast" is DangerousI called out the industry for letting YouTube (and now TikTok) hijack the term "podcast," muddling data and damaging clarity around the medium.4. The Hazards of Exclusive Distribution DealsI discussed how exclusive distribution (like those seen with Netflix and Spotify) leads to loss of control and audiences for podcasters.5. Warning Signs of Big Companies Manipulating PodcastingShared concerns about major corporations and what happens when their decisions are driven mainly by shareholder profits and not creators or audiences.6. AI Content Flooding the Podcast SpaceI highlighted the dangers of companies like Inception Point AI mass-producing low-value podcasts, cluttering directories, harming discoverability, and devaluing advertising rates.7.Common Missteps Hurting Podcast DiscoveryI warned about creating duplicate listings in Apple Podcasts and elsewhere, usually when moving hosts, and the importance of understanding how to migrate your show correctly.8. Show Name CollisionsI noted the confusion caused by multiple shows using the same title (like "Thinking Outside the Box") and urged creators to do their research before naming their show.9. Monetization Predictions for the Coming YearI predicted a shift toward premium/patron-supported models as podcasters get frustrated with low ad rates.10. The Fight Against "AI Slop"I advocated for collectively pushing back against low-quality, AI-generated spam content in our medium.11. Upcoming Industry MergersI think we'll see podcast-related companies merging or being acquired in the near future.12. The Reality of YouTube for PodcastersI expect many podcasters to try YouTube, realize it's not for them, and return to audio-first approaches—while some will succeed by mastering the video platform.13. A Desire for More Creativity in PodcastingI called for a resurgence of risk-taking and creative experimentation, rather than everyone following the same tired formats.Podcasts/Shows Noted:Pod News Weekly Review No Agenda ShowGood Hang with Amy Poehler Things We Learn in a Bar Work for the Wind by Aliyah Langley

Have an episode suggestion? Text us!In this Mindset Monday, Matt talks about a gap in the recovery world that almost nobody wants to name: families are expected to learn everything about addiction, but addicts are rarely required to learn the same depth about the damage addiction causes on the other side.This episode breaks down what “support” actually looks like when trust has been destroyed by lying, gaslighting, hidden use, infidelity, or financial chaos. Matt explains why empathy is not a zero-sum game, why “leave the past in the past” doesn't work in real life, and how betrayal trauma changes the brain and nervous system in ways most recovery programs don't teach.If you're a man in recovery who wants to rebuild a relationship, this is a roadmap.

Algae pressure, drifting pH, and vanishing chlorine can make pool care feel like a tug of war. We sat down with renowned chemist and educator Bob Lowry to map out a cleaner, calmer path: use borates the right way, match your CYA to your chlorine needs, and stop fighting the water. The conversation cuts through marketing myths to show why boric acid at 50 ppm stabilizes pH and supports sanitizer performance without turning your maintenance plan upside down.We start by reframing borates as a tool, not a cure-all. Bob explains the simple pairing that drives clarity: free chlorine maintained at about 5 percent of CYA with a minimum of 2 ppm. For most outdoor pools, that points to 40–50 ppm CYA; for salt water chlorine generators, 70 ppm often works better because it protects fresh chlorine produced at the cell and near the sunlit surface. Expect steadier weeks with fewer spikes, not a set-and-forget miracle.Product choice matters. Boric acid barely changes pH or alkalinity, while borax-based products can push pH near 9 and add roughly 115 ppm to total alkalinity, demanding large acid corrections and risking scale if calcium is high. Bob details how pre-balancing and LSI awareness prevent cloudy water, plus practical dosing math and the limited but workable testing options. Field experience and historical research converge on 50 ppm as the effective algaestat level, with 70 ppm a smart ceiling for SWGs seeking extra stability and clarity.If you want water that holds its balance, sparkles in the sun, and uses chlorine more efficiently, this guide lays out the steps: choose boric acid, set CYA with intent, maintain a real chlorine residual, and top off borates only when water leaves the pool. • borates as a pH buffer and algaestat at 50 ppm• chlorine set at 5% of CYA with a 2 ppm floor• CYA targets of 40–50 ppm and 70 ppm for SWGs• boric acid vs borax forms and acid demand• LSI risks when TA, CH and pH run high• dosing math and maintenance dosing over seasons• limited testing options and practical workarounds•Send us a textSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!

This stands as a warning to anyone who invites Nestor by their place for the Maryland Crab Cake Tour: you're an invite and a taste away because he's en route to meet more great local folks who want to promote their business. Owner Soo Mi Kang of Honey's in Halethorpe invited us over and must've known that offering "Crabby Toast" would invoke the legend of Charles Markwood Eckman. Competitive billiards, great food and the game is always on at this old-school joint on the south side. The post Soo Mi Kang welcomes Nestor to her homey hang in Halethrope for crab cakes, Asian delights and competitive pool first appeared on Baltimore Positive WNST.

The TML Risk Pool has seen far too many accidents and injuries in and around roadways. The Pool's goal is to provide tools to help Members avoid them, and we've developed a program to do just that. R.O.A.D. Ready (The acronym stands for Recognize the Hazards; Observe People, Processes, and Equipment; Assess the Risk Level; and Determine the Safest Course of Action) is a Risk Pool program designed to save lives, prevent injuries, and protect property by raising member awareness of dangers on and near roadways, and each January is designated as R.O.A.D. Ready month.  The program recently received national attention through publication in the June 2025 edition of Professional Safety, the American Society of Safety Professionals' flagship monthly journal, which covers the latest safety management and injury prevention trends. The article, written by Risk Pool Safety and Loss Control Consultants Kolby Burkhart and Manny Trejo, is titled “Improving Roadways Safety: A Practical Framework to Protect Frontline Workers.” Check out the article here and listen to this episode to hear Kolby and Manny discuss ways to keep your city R.O.A.D. Ready! The Pool extends special recognition to the following R.O.A.D. Ready month participating Members: the Lower Valley Water District and the Cities of Anthony, Mont Belvieu, Beeville, Liberty Hill, Port Neches, Nederland, Rockport, Ingleside, Portland, Jasper, Livingston, Frisco, Schertz, and Fredericksburg. FURTHER INFORMATION:R.O.A.D.

In this deep (and skeptical) dive into the latest CPI numbers, Chris breaks down why 2.7% inflation doesn't match the reality Americans live every day. From manipulated BLS data and stagnant wages to the soaring cost of life's bare necessities—food, insurance, housing, and energy—this episode challenges the conventional wisdom that 2% inflation is “success.” Why should the dollar lose value at all? Drawing on decades of experience and the economic views of Judy Shelton, Chris explains why zero inflation should be the goal, why debt and money printing are crushing future generations, and why Washington keeps kicking the can down the road.

This week on Everybody in the Pool, we're diving into one of the biggest bottlenecks in the clean energy transition: critical minerals—the lithium, nickel, cobalt, copper, and precious metals we need for EVs, batteries, and the grid. The problem isn't that we're running out. It's that extraction and refining are expensive, polluting, and increasingly constrained by geopolitics.My guest is Adam Uliana, co-founder and CEO of Chemfinity Technologies, a startup spun out of UC Berkeley that's building a modular “metal-selective Brita filter” for refining. Chemfinity's system takes messy inputs—like e-waste, catalytic converters, industrial wastewater, and even mine tailings—and separates out high-purity metals one at a time using tunable “nano-sponge” materials. In other words: a potential way to recover critical minerals with dramatically fewer steps, less energy, and a much smaller footprint.We get into:What “critical minerals” are and why the supply chain is such a vulnerabilityThe climate and human costs of mining—and why recycling and recovery matterHow Chemfinity's process works (liquify the feedstock, then filter metals out in sequence)The real technical unlock: highly selective nanoscale materials that can distinguish near-identical metalsWhat scaling looks like: pilots now, modular systems later—including shipping-container deployments at mining sitesThe business model question: when Chemfinity sells equipment vs. when it makes sense to sell recovered metalsLinks:Chemfinity Technologies: https://www.chemfinitytech.com/All episodes: https://www.everybodyinthepool.com/Subscribe to the Everybody in the Pool newsletter: https://www.mollywood.co/Become a member for the ad-free version of the show:https://everybodyinthepool.supercast.com/ Hosted on Acast.

Presenting Sponsor Thirdzy!  https://thirdzy.com/JAZZYPromotion Code for 15% off: JAZZYEvery day we take a break from the busy workday to take a breath hang out with friends and talk about the world of Sports, Entertainment, and specifically CrossFit.  Today we look at the the World Fitness Project kick off this morning, Cory catches us up on Legends and I had my biopsy consult yesterday so a quick update on all of that.

Ever walked up to a job and found the pool equipment living inside a freshly finished bedroom? We have—and that's just the start. This story-driven episode shares the funniest, strangest, and most useful moments from decades on the route, each one paired with practical takeaways you can use today.We start with access and liability: a garage converted to a mother-in-law unit, complete with D.E. filter and heater behind a tenant's door. It sparked a frank look at boundaries, ventilation and code concerns, and why a professional sometimes has to walk away. From there we row—literally—into a pool with a center island only reachable by raft, and talk about how design choices create recurring labor costs. We break down builder mistakes that make equipment unserviceable: pipes over pump lids, heaters mounted above baskets, and filters wedged against walls. You'll get a fast bid checklist to catch these issues early, and language you can use to recommend fixes before they become weekly headaches.Then we move to the living, barking variables. Dogs on route can be sweet companions or sprinting escape artists. You'll hear a Doberman sprint, the small-dog chase you never want, and simple rules that prevent escapes and protect your schedule. We also cover pricing when pets use the pool and the quiet grief of losing a familiar yard companion. Finally, we tackle the roadside chaos: a tire punctured by pliers, starters that die mid-route, and the tools that save your day. We share the tap-the-starter trick, why a compact jump pack like a NOCO Boost GB40 belongs in every truck, and how AAA can swap a battery while you keep working.• garage conversion creates unsafe equipment access and liability  • island pool requires raft access and sets service limits  • inaccessible equipment from poor plumbing and tight pads  • practical bid checks to catch design flaws early  • pet policies, dog escapes, grief and pricing for pet use  • roadside chaos, blowouts and the starter tap trick  • jump starter picks, why AAA is worth it  Send us a textSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!

Gospel Daily with Josh Weidmann How Do I Dispell Darkness in my Life? Part 2Series: Seeing the Light Scripture: John 9:8-17 Episode: 496 Scripture Summary: In John 9:8–17, the man who was healed from blindness becomes the center of attention in his community. His neighbors and others who had seen him begging are amazed and confused—some doubt he is the same man, but he insists, "I am the man." When asked how he received his sight, he explains that Jesus made mud, put it on his eyes, and told him to wash in the Pool of Siloam, after which he could see. The people bring him to the Pharisees, who question him about the healing—especially because it occurred on the Sabbath, which sparks controversy. Some Pharisees accuse Jesus of breaking the Sabbath, while others wonder how a sinner could perform such miraculous signs. When they ask the healed man what he thinks of Jesus, he boldly replies, "He is a prophet." Key themes include: testimony of transformation, conflict over Sabbath traditions, growing recognition of Jesus' authority, and the courage to speak truth about Jesus.

Ever wonder why a product that makes your job easier somehow never shows up on store shelves? We tackle that head-on with borates: how 50 ppm boric acid helps tame rising pH in saltwater pools, reduces chlorine and acid use, and even cuts down on algaecide. We walk through where to buy it online, how to test it accurately, and why some retailers avoid stocking it despite clear demand. The bigger takeaway: when you meet customers where they are, you win more than a single sale—you win the relationship.From the pad to the pickup, we get practical about business decisions that compound. Thinking about a new service truck? Mileage and condition beat brand loyalty when your route adds 15–20k miles a year. We share real thresholds for when to buy, what to avoid, and why the smartest investment isn't always the shiniest one on the lot. Then we dive into vac systems with a pro's eye: carts like Riptide and Power Vac deliver speed in heavy debris, while cordless options like the Bottom Feeder trade thrust for zero-cord convenience and rapid deployment. Client optics matter too. A short, visible vacuum pass can transform how customers perceive value, even when the water looks clean. We offer a simple framework: keep “vacuum as needed” in your agreement, default to a quick cordless pass when feasible, and train your team for consistency. Finally, we break down generic versus OEM parts for popular cleaners like the MX6 and MX8—what's worth the savings, what can backfire, and how manufacturer contracts shape what local stores can carry. The goal isn't to pick sides; it's to protect uptime, margins, and trust.• why borates stabilize pH and reduce chemical demand• why many stores don't stock boric acid and how to buy it• how to test for borates with reliable strips• business logic of stocking what customers want• how to pick a service truck by mileage and condition• cordless vs cart vac systems and when each wins• whether to vacuum every visit for better optics• using “vacuum as needed” while showing visible workSend us a textSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!

In today's POD256, we opened with a timely update on the Change.org petition to pardon Samourai Wallet developers Bill and Keonne. We dug into confusing verification flows, the low conversion rate from views to valid signatures, why pseudonyms and disposable emails are allowed, and why donations on Change.org don't reach the families; direct support should go to GiveSendGo. We also covered the growing media push, the reported acknowledgment from President Trump, and counter-narratives forming in the broader media. From there, we pivoted into mining: BitCrane and Addit boards for S19/Whatsminer control, Mujina support, 120V PSU unlocks, and heat-reuse projects. We previewed our Telehash fundraiser and HydraPool setup for NEMS, discussed pool trust and verification (including scam pools and coinbase-checking tools), OCEAN's decentralization claims, and why share-chain style P2Pool v2 matters. We wrapped with open hardware manufacturing updates (pick-and-place triumphs and solder paste woes), Heatbit's new radiant “Canvas” miner, and practical self-hosting lessons; closing with a call to action to sign the Samourai petition and keep the pressure on while the window remains open.

The Power of Peer-to-Peer Advisory Groups: How Jerry Brazie Helps Entrepreneurs Avoid Costly MistakesIn this episode, host Josh Elledge interviews Jerry Brazie, founder of The Kronos Group, to explore why entrepreneurship doesn't have to be a lonely journey. Jerry shares how peer-to-peer advisory groups provide business owners with trusted insight, accountability, and real-world problem-solving that goes far beyond motivation or surface-level advice. Drawing from decades of experience building and advising companies, Jerry explains why consistent peer engagement can be the difference between costly mistakes and sustained growth.Why Peer-to-Peer Advisory Groups Create Stronger, Smarter LeadersJerry Brazie compares entrepreneurship to mastering a skill like pool—progress doesn't come from occasional participation, but from consistent, focused practice. In business, that consistency shows up through regularly meeting with peers who understand the pressure of leadership and growth. Advisory groups create an environment where business owners can openly discuss challenges, test ideas, and learn from others who have faced similar decisions, often preventing expensive missteps before they happen.A key distinction Jerry emphasizes is the difference between peer-to-peer advisory groups and traditional mastermind groups. While masterminds often focus on inspiration or high-level ideas, advisory groups are intentionally small and structured to deliver individualized feedback. Each member receives dedicated time to present real problems, receive candid input, and leave with clear next steps—turning discussion into execution rather than motivation without follow-through.Jerry also highlights the personal dimension of advisory groups, noting that leadership challenges rarely stop at the office door. Conversations often extend beyond operations and strategy into personal well-being, relationships, and balance. By addressing both business and life challenges, advisory groups help entrepreneurs make better decisions, stay grounded, and lead more sustainably over the long term.About Jerry BrazieJerry Brazie is the founder of The Kronos Group, a peer-to-peer advisory organization serving business owners with revenues between $1M and $25M. With decades of experience building, scaling, and advising companies, Jerry is passionate about helping entrepreneurs avoid costly mistakes through accountability, candid feedback, and structured peer support.

Stop overdelivering for free and start running a cleaner, faster, more profitable route. We break down a practical pool service system that scales, from smart service tiers to a weekly workflow that keeps quality high and labor tight. You'll learn how to set expectations with chemical-only, mid-tier, and full-service offerings, and when to upgrade a client based on debris load, pool size, and their appetite for DIY.We share a simple order of operations that saves minutes at every stop: visual scan, equipment check, surface clearing with a light soap mix or a purpose-built surface cleaner, a thorough skim pass, tile cleaning with the right product for the surface, efficient vacuuming, and a final brush that prevents algae and polishes the finish. Along the way, we compare tile cleaners and how to handle acid safely, and we explain why pushing dirt to the main drain or brushing everything to the deep end leaves pools looking half-done.Vacuuming strategy is where routes win or lose time. We cover when “vacuum when needed” belongs in your service agreement, how to spot vacuum using an existing cleaner hose, and why tools like Riptide, Bottom Feeder, VacDaddy, and Water Tech units help employees deliver consistent results without wrestling hoses. Then we get into the money: time caps by pool size, recovery plans after windstorms or trimming days, and pricing that reflects volume and debris realities in markets with larger pools.If you're ready to tighten your workflow, reduce callbacks, and protect margins without compromising on crystal-clear water, this guide is your playbook.

Gospel Daily with Josh Weidmann Christ Uses Our Healing or Waiting to Call Us to Greater Faith in Him, Part 2Series: Seeing the Light Scripture: John 9:1-7 Episode: 494 Scripture Summary: In John 9:1–7, Jesus encounters a man born blind, and His disciples ask whether the man's blindness was caused by his own sin or his parents' sin. Jesus replies that it was not due to sin, but so that the works of God might be displayed in him. He then declares, "I am the light of the world," and proceeds to heal the man in a unique way—by spitting on the ground, making mud, and applying it to the man's eyes. Jesus tells him to wash in the Pool of Siloam, and the man obeys—receiving his sight for the first time. Key themes include: God's purpose in suffering, Jesus as the light of the world, healing through faith and obedience, and the display of God's power in unexpected ways.

Ever feel like your best service is eating your profits? We dig into the quiet ways pool pros lose time and money—free return visits, marathon storm cleanups, and “courtesy” chemicals—and share practical scripts and policies that keep clients happy while protecting your margins. The core idea is simple: set fair expectations, price for real effort, and stop projecting your standards onto customers who just want the pool blue, clean, and running.We start by reframing the customer mindset and why obsessing over perfection can backfire across a full route. Then we get tactical. You'll hear the courtesy-invoice method that ends free midweek trips, the go/no-go rules for locked gates and blocked access, and the 25-minute time cap that saves your day after windstorms or messy tree work. We also walk through rate tiers for heavy-debris accounts, clear communication for multi-visit recoveries, and straightforward language that resets expectations without friction.Chemicals and equipment maintenance get their own spotlight. Learn when to pass through shock and algaecide for high-use pools, how to leave cal hypo or liquid chlorine onsite and bill retail, and why it's often smarter than raising monthly rates. We also break down filter cleaning fees for DE and quad-cartridge systems, the pros and cons of charging for salt cell cleanings, and how local norms influence your model. By the end, you'll have a clean list of policies, prices, and scripts that turn great service into a sustainable business.• why most clients think “blue and fine” is enough• return visit rules and courtesy invoice tactics• handling locked gates and blocked access• time caps after windstorms and tree work• route health vs spotless one-stop cleanups• tiered pricing for heavy debris pools• passing through shock, algaecide, and tablets• when to charge for filter and salt cell cleaning• area norms and how to communicate fees• simple scripts that retrain client expectationsSend us a textSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!

In episode 279 of the Pool Nation Podcast, Edgar De Jesus is joined by co-hosts Zach “The Pool Boy” Nicholas and John “JJ Flawless” for Part 4 of the Winning Business Series, diving deep into one of the most misunderstood — and most important — topics in the pool industry: profit margins. This conversation goes far beyond “raise your prices.” Edgar and Zac break down why margin is the real indicator of business health, how to calculate your true cost per pool, and how to build pricing that actually supports growth, stability, and long-term success. You'll learn why dollar profit alone is fragile, how thin margins quietly destroy pool businesses, and how the Good / Better / Best pricing model can protect your margins while giving customers choice — especially in a market where consumer confidence is tightening. The episode also covers: How hidden leaks like drive time, chemical creep, and non-billable labor eat away at profits Why knowing your numbers removes fear from price increases How to prepare your routes and customers before raising rates Why winter is the best time to fix your pricing for the year ahead If you're heading into 2026 without absolute clarity on your pricing, margins, and profitability, this episode is a must-listen for pool service owners, repair techs, and business leaders who want to stop guessing and start building intentionally. ⏱️ Episode Timestamps [00:00:00] Welcome to the Pool Nation Podcast & show intro [00:01:00] Part 4 of the Winning Business Series begins [00:02:30] Why solo podcasts feel different & listener feedback [00:04:00] AquaStar Golden Ticket experience & behind-the-scenes factory tour [00:08:30] Industry culture, leadership, and why AquaStar stands out [00:11:00] Recap of hidden profit leaks from previous episodes [00:14:00] Why margins matter more than dollar profit [00:16:30] Understanding margin percentages (20%, 30%, 40%, 50%+) [00:19:00] Real-world examples of margin failure in pool businesses [00:22:00] How to calculate your true cost per pool [00:24:00] Building pricing based on math — not emotion [00:26:00] Why knowing your numbers changes how you sell [00:29:00] Sponsor break [00:34:00] Good / Better / Best pricing explained [00:38:00] Consumer psychology and why most customers choose “Better” [00:41:00] Using tiered pricing for service and repairs [00:44:00] Preparing for a price increase the right way [00:47:00] Reviewing routes and identifying problem pools [00:50:00] Why winter is the best time to fix pricing [00:54:00] Final thoughts on margins, growth, and confidence [00:56:00] Teaser for Part 5: How to announce price increases [00:57:00] Show outro & where to find Pool Nation resources

This week on Everybody in the Pool, we're talking about one of the biggest blockers to real climate action: amazing solutions that never scale because no one pays for them. My guest is Grant Canary, founder and CEO of Mast Reforestation, a company rebuilding forests after catastrophic wildfires — and reinventing carbon credits so that reforestation can actually fund itself.Mast takes the most expensive part of post-fire recovery — dealing with hundreds of dead, unstable, methane-emitting trees — and turns it into a high-integrity carbon removal credit. The fire-killed biomass gets buried in engineered clay “vaults” that lock away carbon for centuries, and the revenue pays for restoring forests with native seed, nursery-grown seedlings, and good old human labor. It's the super-sexy carbon accounting we desperately need.We get into:Grant's origin story: the high-school teacher, the brutally honest friend, and the maggot factory (this is a true story)From DroneSeed to Mast: why drones weren't enough and what really unlocks reforestationWhat high-severity “Mordor” fires do to ecosystems — and why invasives take overHow biomass burial works: clay soils, lasagna layers, 24/7 monitoring, and 5 different verification processesWhy high-quality carbon credits are hard — and why they matterWho buys these credits (tech, airlines, real estate, Shopify, consulting firms) and the incentives behind eachWhy relying on altruism won't scale — but pricing ecosystem services willHow modern carbon accounting sets the stage for the actual holy grail: a price on carbonLink:Mast Reforestation: https://www.mastreforest.com/All episodes: https://www.everybodyinthepool.com/Subscribe to the Everybody in the Pool newsletter: https://www.mollywood.co/Become a member for the ad-free version of the show:https://everybodyinthepool.supercast.com/ Hosted on Acast.
