049 The One with James McDonald, Again
Scaling UP!\xa0Nation!,\xa0you know that I believe you get out of our industry what you put into our industry.\xa0 This is my normal response to when someone asks me why I train others, why I volunteer for trade organizations and especially why I do this podcast.\xa0I truly believe that you should teach what you know.\xa0Educate yourself and you get smarter, teach what you know, and you get even smarter (because a teacher needs to know content better than a student) and the person you are teaching gets smarter. Did you see what just happened in that scenario? The industry of that\xa0particular topic\xa0just got better.
My guest today is no stranger to that way of thinking. James McDonald is a champion for the water treatment industry. He is continuously finding new and innovative ways to share information. We had James on the show\xa0almost one\xa0year ago.\xa0 Since that time, he has some new things he has been working on he wants to share with the Scaling UP! Nation!
As we wrapped up 2017, The Scaling UP! Nation! was given the CWT Challenge! This was when I ask every member of the Nation! To take their career seriously and go after the highest designation we have in our industry, the CWT!\xa0I am happy to say that well over 100 people have contacted me saying that they had the CWT in their sights. AWESOME!!
I wanted to take a moment and recognize those who have received their CWT this year.
