Welcome back to another exciting episode of the Talking Pools Podcast! We've got a packed show today with our incredible co-hosts sharing their latest adventures and insights from the world of pool service.

First up, we have Peter, who recently had an unexpected turn of events and broke his leg. But Peter being Peter, he didn't let a little thing like that slow him down. Instead, he's been using his recovery time to dive into some fascinating educational classes. He'll share how he's turning this setback into a major comeback with all the new knowledge he's soaking up.

Then, we have Lee, our intrepid explorer, who's been roaming the outback to provide much-needed store coverage for weary shop owners. These hard-working folks need a break from their pool stores, and Lee's been stepping in to keep things running smoothly. He's got some great stories from the road and tips for anyone needing a helping hand.

And finally, Shane is jumping into the mix with a cheeky suggestion. He's been listening to Lee's tales and thinks Lee should extend his travels a bit further – all the way to New Zealand to cover his store! Shane will tell us why he thinks Lee's outback adventures make him the perfect candidate for a Kiwi pool shop takeover.

So, grab your favorite beverage, sit back, and get ready for another episode filled with humor, wisdom, and the ever-entertaining world of pool service. Let's dive in!
