No Participation Trophies in Pool Service
Welcome to a special edition of the Talking Pools Podcast. I’m your host, Rudy Stankowitz, and today we’re doing something a little different. My cohost, Andrea, doesn’t know it yet, but this episode is being recorded live with an audience. We’re opening the door to real-time interaction, bringing our listeners into the conversation as it happens.
This episode isn’t just about surprises—it’s about resilience and change. Recently, I suffered a back injury while cleaning pools. It’s a tough reminder of how physically demanding this work can be. Recovery has forced me to slow down, reassess, and make a few lifestyle adjustments. One of those changes is shifting to a pescatarian diet—trading land-based meals for a diet centered on fish and seafood.
Andrea is also making a change, focusing on balance and mindfulness both in and out of the studio. It’s a good reminder that mental and physical health are just as important as technical skill in this business.
Today’s discussion covers more than just pool care—it’s about the people behind the service, the adjustments we make, and how we adapt when life doesn’t go as planned.
Join us for this live episode of the Talking Pools Podcast, where we’ll talk honestly about challenges, changes, and finding new depth in the work we do every day.

Rudy Stankowitz: Welcome, pool pros, to a live edition of Talking Pools Podcast! I'm your host, Rudy Stankowitz, and today, we're diving into uncharted waters. Surprise, Andrea! We're live, and our listeners are joining us poolside. How are you feeling about this unexpected plunge, Andrea?
Andrea: (laughs) Well, Rudy, this is definitely a splash of excitement. I'm ready for the challenge and looking forward to connecting with our amazing audience in real time.
Rudy Stankowitz: Fantastic! Now, here's the big surprise for our listeners – a challenge! Can your voice reach the depths of a seasoned podcast host? Give us your best waves, folks, and let's see who can make the biggest splash in our live chat.
Andrea: I'm loving the energy, Rudy! Let's make some audio waves today!
Rudy Stankowitz: And speaking of waves, let me tell you about my recent adventure. I managed to break my back cleaning pools! No worries, though – I'm not one to let a little backache keep me away from the microphone. On the contrary, it's inspired me to take a deep dive into the world of pescatarianism. So long, land meats; hello, ocean delicacies!
Andrea: That's a real plot twist, Rudy! And in the spirit of change, I've traded in my usual podcasting attire for some comfy yoga pants. It's all about bringing that zen vibe to our live session.
Rudy Stankowitz: Absolutely, Andrea! Now, let's talk food. Grouper is on the menu today. We're exploring the depths of culinary delights, and I can't wait to taste the ocean's offerings.
Andrea: Grouper by the pool – it's a feast for the senses, Rudy!
Rudy Stankowitz: So, grab your blue glue, folks, and join us for a wild ride as we navigate the live waves of Talking Pools Podcast!
