047 The One with the Guy Who Writes About Water

Published: Sept. 18, 2018, 5:33 p.m.

I think it is safe to say that the majority of the Scaling UP! Nation! is on one or more social media platforms. I try to post news about my upcoming podcast on social media, mainly LinkedIn.

Social Media is how we stay connected in today\u2019s world. In fact, many of you found out about the Scaling UP! podcast from LinkedIn.

In an effort to\xa0stay sharp for the Scaling UP!\xa0Nation!,\xa0I try to read as much as I can. From books to articles, you just never know what fodder is out there that you can turn into a good episode. During my assimilation of this data, I ran across Jim Lauria on LinkedIn. Jim wrote a very intriguing article about Leonardo DaVinci and water. It was fascinating. I enjoyed not only the article but the way that in which Jim wrote it. This\xa0led\xa0me to start reading other articles written by Jim. If you\xa0are connected with\xa0me on LinkedIn, you have seen me share many of them.

Since connecting on LinkedIn, Jim and I have shared several insights and conversations. Jim is a renaissance man when it comes to water, in his own right. On today\u2019s episode Jim shares with us not only his passion for writing about water but also some tips about promoting yourself on LinkedIn. We even sneak in a few words on \u201cMind Mapping.\u201d Do you even know what that is? I\xa0though\xa0I was the only one\u2026

Jim Lauria is Vice President of Sales & Marketing for Mazzei Injector, a fluid design company that manufactures mixing and contacting systems. He is a leader in the water treatment field with a proven track record of revenue growth, profit improvement and new business development. Since graduating with a Bachelor of Chemical Engineering degree from Manhattan College, Jim has traveled the world benchmarking the best water management practices.

He lives in San Francisco with his wife Laurie Lauria, who fills his life with love, laughter, and alliteration.
