\u2022 Wrap up

This was really the first episode of Scaling UP!\xa0 Even though it is Episode #2.\xa0 The first episode was simply a placeholder to allow me to get the Podcast registered on iTunes and Stitcher and also get the website up and running.\xa0 It was for this \u201creal\u201d episode that I purchased items to actually have a sound studio to record in.\xa0 Many of you wrote in to tell me how much better I sounded on episode 2 than episode 1.\xa0 This is for a few reasons:

Research

I did a lot of research before recording the second episode.\xa0 This included reading post, watching YouTube (I love YouTube,) exploring around with the sound software and purchasing a good condensing microphone.\xa0 Many of you asked which microphone I am using.\xa0 It is called the Samson Meteor.\xa0 I read on several reviews that it was almost indistinguishable from many other more expensive microphones.\xa0 A top rated podcasting microphone was ten times more expensive than the Meteor and the Meteor got a better review!\xa0 If you are curious, I bought it from Amazon (as I do most things).

During this episode, we talk about the Association of Water Technologies, \xa0AWT and the Certified Water Technologist designation, CWT.\xa0 I mention the booklet that helps guide you through the CWT process, here it is:

I also mention the corrosion coupon guidelines from AWT, here that is:

I hope you enjoy the Podcast.\xa0 I am having a lot of fun with it.
