Episode 55: Alan Smith: How Hard Work and Discipline Transformed this Mixer Man into the Owner of the #1 Pool Renovation Company

In this episode, we interview Alan Smith of Alan Smith Pools. Alan’s Journey started in 1974 when he became a mixer man for De Mar Baron and after a short time, Alan was a foreman leading pool plastering crews at the age of 19. Alan and his wife Teresa started Alan Smith Pools in 1981 and have grown it to over 120 employees which have completed over 30,000 jobs. In 1989 after seeing a need for the pool plastering industry to adopt standards, he became one for the founding members of the National Plasterers Council. (NPC) He was also an integral part of getting the National Pool Industry Research Center funded and built.  Alan has never been afraid of hard work and has always put honesty and integrity first in his business. It was an honor for us to have him on the podcast since he has done so many great things for the industry and we want to thank Alan for coming to the studio to share his journey with us.

Episode 54: Fireside/Poolside Chat: How These Pool Builders use Outdoor Furniture to Increase Profits

In this episode we had the pleasure of sitting down with several industry experts and even better, we got to do it poolside! Joining us for the chat is Ledge Lounger Founder and President Christopher Anderson, David Pavlesic of Paragon Pools, and Brian Drury & Cory Stanley of Decorative Pools & Landscape. We want to thank all of these gentlemen for joining us once again, as we had an amazing time talking with all of them!  The overall theme was to start thinking bigger as an industry. Why just stop with the pool, why not design the whole project, why not give your clients the full backyard experience they crave, and why not be more profitable? These men give their clients that full experience with each and every design they do and discuss why you should start providing that for your clients as well.  We discuss the progression of the industry when it comes to outdoor living environments and the evolution of the iconic chaise and other outdoor furniture within those environments. Whether you are a pool builder, designer, landscape architect, or pool service company this episode will help you to start thinking outside the box when it comes to providing that full backyard experience for your clients.

Episode 53: Make a Choice, Are You a Professional or Are You Just Skimming Leaves with Javier Payan of Payan Pool Service

In this episode, we interview industry leader Javier Payan of Payan Pool Service. Javier is also the chapter President of the PHTA San Diego Chapter, which has been building a ton of buzz around the industry. He is very proud of the work he did for IPPSA as their safety and public relations person, which involved helping promote their water safety videos.  One common thing that came up several times throughout the episode was that we all have a choice on what kind of service provider we want to be. Do you want to be a pool professional or do you want to be known as someone who just skims leaves? You have the power to determine how you run your business and how the consumer looks at that business. Javier believes that if you want to call yourself a professional then you should take all the proper steps to become a professional.    You can find Javier and Payan Pool Service Below:  Website: http://bit.ly/PayanPoolsPWU  Facebook: http://bit.ly/PayanFBPWU  Twitter: http://bit.ly/PayanTwitterPWU  YouTube: http://bit.ly/PayanYouTube  You can find info on the PHTA below:  Website: http://bit.ly/APSPPWU  SD Chapter: http://bit.ly/SDChapterPWU  You can find books and podcasts referenced below:   Different: http://bit.ly/DifferentPWU  Outliers:

Episode 51: Liquid Evolution Pools: Providing Quality Craftsmanship and Embracing Collaboration over Competition with John and Gordon

In this episode we interview our good friends John Smieszek and Gordon Berry of Liquid Evolution Pools. We first met them at a Tributary event where we got to check out a few of their pools. One of those pools we have seen go through several stages of the build process which you have probably seen on our Instagram page. This has sparked a true friendship and we are honored that they trust us enough to invite us to their job sites.  Liquid Evolution builds some incredible projects, but one of our favorite things about them is their professionalism on the job site. They go above and beyond to make sure all of the trades that are working on their projects feel comfortable and taken care of. They want to work with the best in the industry and know that to do that their needs to be a certain level of respect between everyone. They have truly embraced collaboration over competition by inviting their contemporaries to partner up with them on certain projects to make them the best they can be. We had a blast with them recording this one and we hope you all enjoy the episode.  See you out there Pool Chasers!   You can find Liquid Evolution Pools below:  Website: http://bit.ly/LiquidEvolutionPoolsPWU  Instagram: http://bit.ly/LiquidInstagramPWU  Facebook: http://bit.ly/LiquidFacebookPWU  Pinterest: http://bit.ly/LiquidPinterestPWU  Houzz: http://bit.ly/LiquidHouzzPWU  You can find the books and podcasts mentioned below:  Find Your Why: http://bit.ly/FindYourWhyPWU

Episode 50: Work Life Balance, Support Systems, and Staying Focused on Your Goal with Tyler’s Wife Megan Rasmussen

Episode 50, what a milestone for the Pool Chasers community! In this episode we thought we would do something a little different and give you a more behind the scenes look into our journey with Brothers and Pool Chasers. We thought it would be beneficial to interview Tyler’s wife Megan and get her perspective of everything. We believe that we all need someone there in our corner cheering us on, whether that be a spouse, parent, or mentor. Our wives have been so important in our process as entrepreneurs. They are our backbone and one of the main reasons we can do what we do.   We touch base on many great topic's, many of which we survived ourselves. Building a company is a long hard process and many times we can forget that our families are along the ride with us. Communication is key to making the daily grind work. We discuss being supportive of one another, creating a schedule that works for the whole family, what we did to get through the messy middle, and the importance of work life balance. No matter how tough things get, remember that it is just for a season and keep your eyes on whatever goal you have set for yourself, your family, and your business.   See you out there Pool Chasers!  You can find the books and podcasts discussed below:  Girl Wash Your Face: http://bit.ly/GWYFPWU  Girl Stop Apologizing: http://bit.ly/GirlSAPWU  Rise Together Podcast: http://bit.ly/RiseTogetherPWU  You can follow Pool Chasers below:   Website: http://bit.ly/PCWebsitePWU  Instagram: http://bit.ly/PCInstagramPWU  Facebook: http://bit.ly/PCFacebookPWU

Episode 47: How Making HR a Priority Can Create a Strong Company Culture with Ruben Galvan of Zodiac

In this episode we interview Ruben Galvan who is the Vice President of training and organizational development for Fluidra (Zodiac/Jandy). We discuss the importance of HR and why making it a priority will set your business up for success. We know that many of the businesses owners in our industry wear multiple hats with one of them being HR. They tend to make other parts of the business such as the customer, generating revenue, and getting the services out their priority. Those are all very important, but imagine the impact it can have on your business if you can take the time to invest into your people by listening to them, showing them recognition and appreciation, and letting them know how important they are to the company. It is vital to understand that if you want to have the best customer experience it starts with the best employee experience. They are the front line and the ones that interact with the customers on a daily basis. What they experience when they come in each day will be reflected to the customer out in the field. If you can take parts of this episode and apply them to your business, we promise it will payoff in more ways then one. See you out there Pool Chasers!

Episode 46: Running a Legitimate Commercial Pool Business & “Why Yelp Isn’t For Me” with Dustin Anderson of Precision Aquatics

In this episode we interview our good friend and the owner of Precision Aquatics, Dustin Anderson. His company focusses primarily on the commercial pool maintenance sector of the industry. Dustin has a real passion for the industry and wants it to be taken to another level. He is also adamant that people take the time to get the proper licensing, pay the proper taxes and workman’s comp, and give their employees what they deserve to provide for their families. We discuss some of the differences of commercial and residential pool maintenance. Dustin talks about some of the biggest advantages and struggles of running a legitimate business and what can be done to remedy those struggles. We also touch base on how important company reps are to your business and why it’s crucial to be signed up for their incentive programs. We actually met Dustin at the Zodiac Symposium after a social media class we were attending. He approached us to discuss our opinion on Yelp and had some pretty strong opinions on it himself. We talked for about 45 minutes that day and that sparked our friendship. Greg and Dustin get into a lot of that same discussion in the episode, so whether you love or hate Yelp, you don’t want to miss this part of the episode. See you out there Pool Chasers!

Episode 41: Journey from Pool Maintenance to SWD Master Builder with David Penton of Fluid Dynamics

Episode 41: Journey from Pool Maintenance to SWD Master Builder with David Penton of Fluid Dynamics

In this episode we interview David Penton. David is the CEO of Fluid Dynamics Pool and Spa in Fullerton, California. Fluid Dynamics is a certified SWD Master within the Society of Watershape Designers which requires the completion of 150 hours of education within Genesis University. We have always admired David’s work and were very excited to finally sit down with him after a year of planning. David started out in the pool maintenance world working for a company to learn the trade. He transitioned into running his own service business which he ran for many years. He got  into building with 2 rather large projects and fell in love with the process. David has since completed the Genesis program to become an SWD Master. He has collaborated with other Masters to complete many incredible high profile pools. David is also a huge believer in mentorship and sharing knowledge to raise the bar throughout the industry. We hope you are inspired to do the same after listening to the episode. See you out there Pool Chasers!

In this episode we interview The Pool and Hot Tub Alliance President and CEO Larry Caniglia and Chairman Chris Curcio. We dive into the answers to several questions we have been hearing since the merger announcement of The Association of Pool & Spa Professionals (APSP) and The National Swimming Pool Foundation (NSPF) What both of these organizations do really affects the day to day of the pool professionals.

Episode 39: Water Safety and Drowning Prevention with Alissa Magrum of Colin's Hope

In this episode we interview Alissa Magrum of Colin's Hope. Colin's Hope is a nonprofit organization that was started in honor of Colin Holst who drowned in a lifeguarded pool at the age of 4. We were very honored that Colin's family and Alissa would allow us to discuss Colin's story. They want to get the message out there that drowning is preventable and we hope that message is brought to light in this episode. Water safety and drowning prevention is the most important topic we have discussed to date. We have become very passionate about doing what we can to bring awareness to the pool professional community. As pool professionals we all have a huge responsibility to keep the pools we take care of safe. We also have a responsibility to educate our customers on what they can do to create a safe and fun backyard experience. We discuss Colin's story, what Colin's hope is and how you can support it, the pool professionals' part in it all, and how you can better educate your team and customers on the topic.

Episode 33: Pool Podcast Coach, Business Relationships, & Fire Thrower Brett Gereau of Advanced Pool Specialists

Episode 33: Pool Podcast Coach, Business Relationships, & Fire Thrower Brett Gereau of Advanced Pool Specialists

In this episode we interview our friend and one of our mentors Brett Gereau of Advanced Pool Specialists. Advanced Pool Specialists is what Brett does now, but he has had quite the journey through the pool industry. He has been in the industry his entire adult life and is very passionate about it. One of the things Brett said that we admired is that he wants to leave the industry better then he found it. What a great way to look at the industry and life in general. We left the interview inspired as we normally do after speaking with Brett and we think you guys will as well. Brett had his own service business in California for several years. You have probably heard us speak about him multiple times on the podcast because he actually started a podcast of his own called Pool Business Academy several years ago. Unfortunately his podcast ended after 11 episodes, but it left us so pumped and we have looked up to him ever since. He also worked for Alan Smith Pools as a salesman and then worked heavily on their reverse osmosis division. All of that has led him to what he is doing today which is pool surfaces. He is applying the ecoFINISH product aquaBRIGHT. It involves a flame thrower which is pretty awesome! We discuss all of this and more on the episode. There are a lot of great nuggets to take away from this episodes so listen closely, we hope you enjoy it.

Episode 29: Ledge Lounger with Christopher Anderson

Episode 29: Ledge Lounger with Christopher Anderson

We are honored to have our last episode of the year be with Ledge Lounger founder and president Christopher Anderson. For the second year in a row, Ledge Lounger is ranked as one of the fastest growing private companies within the American economy. Ledge Lounger is an in-pool and outdoor furniture company that was founded in 2011. They are known for designing outdoor furniture and accessories, made out of high-quality materials that withstand the sun, weather, and chemicals of the outdoor and pool environments. In this episode we will discuss Chris being raised in Texas and growing up around the swimming pool industry with his father. Chris would graduate from LSU with a degree in Construction Management. After working and gaining experience with the Dallas Morning News and then working for a Nebraska based tech company as their Director of Business Development. He then made his way back to Houston to work and help with his fathers growing pool company Custom Design Pools. One day Chris was tasked with a project that would forever change his life. A customer that they were building a pool for needed a particular type of pool furniture that could handle the weather, no matter the price. After searching and contacting different resorts he found nothing. He would spend the next 2 1/2 years researching and developing what we know today as Ledge Lounger. We will discuss the origins, the brand, the company, and listen to all the great wisdom Chris has to offer. We hope you all enjoy. See you out there Pool Chasers!

We discuss how Rick got started and how he has fully immersed himself into all areas of education. Being educated and doing things up to code has made him one of the industry leaders. We discuss Red Rocks niche and that’s building quality custom projects and not building in large volumes. We know Red Rock for building some of the most incredible custom pools but they also specialize in landscape, custom homes, commercial buildings and even restaurants. They have built quite the reputation. This is a special year for them as this is their 20 year anniversary! We are motivated by a company that knows exactly who they are and what they do. There is nothing like confidence and we have truly learned a ton from this discussion. We strive to be on this level one day. Our cover photo and spread photos in Pool Pro Magazine were all taken at one of his amazing pool builds and we are so thankful for his generosity and willingness to help a fellow pool professional.
