2022/06/10

We're going to dive right in to listener questions in this Pinks and Blues episode because today is all about testing for Chlorine.

Five years ago, I recorded Episode 1 with my Bluetooth headset and sent it off for approval on Apple Podcasts. My primary goal when I made the first episode was to create something that industrial water treaters could listen to while they drove from account to account. I wanted to make something that would help water treaters expand their general water treatment knowledge. What I didn’t expect when I launched Episode 1 was that this podcast would create a community of people with similar passions

Scaling UP Nation, I will talk about something that I personally don’t gravitate to, and maybe you have been putting it on the back burner as well: Marketing.
