When my assistant, Carla and I were setting up our production calendar a few months ago, we noticed that a release date was going to fall on Friday the 13th. That made me think of Jason Voorhees. But it also made me think about doing a show about what water treaters fear. A fear Factor episode, if you will…
I requested that the Scaling UP! Nation! let me know what they feared as water treaters. The list of items you came back with wasn’t inclusive of ghost and goblins or even Jason Voorhees, but real things that happen to us every day. Today’s episode is my reveal of that list. But I don’t stop there. I let you know how to deal with that fear.
Please enjoy the scariest water treatment show ever. Happy Friday the 13th!
