Episode 125: Show Notes
I am an advocate for joining an association that contains people in the same type of water treatment as you.\xa0 Our job is so specific, it can be lonely. You won't exactly find people who do what we do at the local pub. But that is the most likely place to find our kind. Just because water treaters are challenging to find, it doesn't mean that they are not out there. For example, look at the Scaling UP!\xa0Nation!,\xa0we are over 10,000 strong. It just means that we\xa0have to\xa0seek each other out intentionally. That is why associations are a great place to join. Associations expose you to educational programs and tasks that better the industry. You will hear about legislation update, breaking news in your industry and so much more.\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0
One of the organizations I have been an active member of and promote a good deal on this podcast is The Association of Water Technologies, AWT.\xa0 Last week the AWT hosted a Business Owners Meeting in Tampa, Florida. For this meeting, owners of water treatment companies can get together in the same room and share experiences to learn how to do business a little bit easier.\xa0 I look forward to sharing with you what I learn from fellow business owners.\xa0
My top reason for joining an association is the people you meet. It was someone I met at AWT who encouraged me to start this podcast (Conor Parrish EP 8.) Most episodes you hear from someone that I met\xa0through the AWT. And today's guest is from that group.\xa0\xa0
Our guest today if Justin Ranger, CWT. Justin and I will be talking about how he got into this industry to what made him want to get his CWT. We are going to cover much ground today, so please enjoy my interview with Justin Ranger, CWT.\xa0\xa0
