The Pool Plus Podcast
🎙 Welcome to the Pool Plus Podcast (formerly the Pool Pro Podcast).
Co-hosted by Michelle Kavanaugh (business strategist + pool world connector) and Rob Stewart (pool pro, instructor, and Canadian legend), The Pool Plus Podcast dives into more than just water. We’re talking service hacks, wild customer stories, business tips, and the occasional hot take on life, travel, and trends that keep things interesting. Whether you're a pool builder, service tech, designer—or just someone who loves a good convo with no B.S.—you’ll leave each episode a little smarter, a little sassier, and a whole lot more ready to run your business (and your life) like a boss.
