A Pool Pro's Perfect World
In this heartfelt and inspiring episode of the Talking Pools Podcast, Steve and Wayne take listeners on an emotional journey, imagining what the life of a pool guy would look like in a perfect world. From the first few words, you can feel the deep passion they have for the pool industry and the people who make it run. They paint a picture of an industry where pool service techs are treated like the professionals they truly are—where respect, appreciation, and recognition are part of everyday life.
Wayne begins by describing a world where pool service pros are valued for their expertise and not just seen as “the pool guy.” He envisions clients who understand the complexities behind what techs do, recognizing that pool maintenance is more than just skimming the surface. The conversation takes on a nostalgic and wistful tone, as Wayne and Steve both reflect on moments when they felt unseen or underappreciated in their own careers.
Steve chimes in, imagining a world where techs have all the tools and resources they need—where they aren’t scrambling to find parts or dealing with outdated equipment. In this perfect world, pool techs are equipped with the latest technology and software to streamline their work, making their lives easier and giving them more time for what matters most: spending time with family, pursuing passions, or simply relaxing after a hard day's work.
The conversation grows even more emotional when Wayne speaks about the physical toll pool service takes. He dreams of a world where techs have lighter, ergonomic equipment to reduce strain on their bodies, with health benefits and mental health support built into the job. The perfect world they describe is one where burnout is a thing of the past, and every tech feels supported and energized.
Steve paints the final strokes of their vision, imagining a culture of mutual respect between service pros and clients. In this world, homeowners don’t just expect perfection—they appreciate the effort and expertise it takes to achieve it. Clients tip generously, express gratitude, and trust their techs enough to give them flexibility in scheduling. He envisions a world where pool pros go home satisfied, not stressed, knowing their hard work is appreciated.
