    How a Pool Company Manages 320 Pools Every Week

    What does it actually take to run a successful pool management company? In this episode of the Mobile Podcast Trailer, Jesse sits down with Derwin Townsend of Blue Lagoon PM to talk about the reality of building a pool service business—from starting with just 18 pools to managing roughly 320 pools every week. Derwin breaks down how his team manages dozens of pools every day, why he refuses to send technicians all over the Valley, how technology and automation have changed the business, and why communication and simply showing up can make the difference between keeping a customer and losing one. We also get into some of the biggest mistakes pool owners make, including buying cheap equipment online, the truth about saltwater pools, expensive repairs, and why sometimes the cheapest option can end up costing homeowners more. But this conversation goes beyond pool maintenance. Derwin shares how he went from working as a diesel mechanic and in the lumber industry to building a growing pool management and construction company—and the biggest lessons he's learned along the way. We talk about: • How to manage 320 pools every week • How Derwin started with just 18 pools • The biggest mistakes pool owners make • Saltwater vs. chlorine pools • Why cheap pool equipment can cost more • How pool service technology and automation work • How to build efficient technician routes • Why communication matters in home services • When to repair a pool heater—and when to replace it • How to scale a blue-collar business • Why business owners need to work ON the business, not just IN it • Using video and social media to grow a local service business • How to turn one day of filming into weeks of content Whether you're a pool owner, entrepreneur, or someone interested in building a blue-collar business, there's a lot to take away from this conversation. Welcome to the Mobile Podcast Trailer—where we bring the ability to create professional content directly to the people doing the work.

We dive into: • The hidden truth about artificial turf maintenance • Why “zero maintenance” turf is a myth • How social media helped grow Dino Turf Cleaning • The reality of starting and selling businesses • Entrepreneurship, fatherhood, and work-life balance • The pressure of providing for a family while building a dream • Why most people underestimate service businesses This conversation is for entrepreneurs, dads, business owners, side hustlers, and anyone trying to build something meaningful while balancing real life.

In this episode, I break down why motivation is one of the biggest lies holding people back from building the life, business, body, and consistency they actually want.

If you’ve been struggling with consistency, focus, or execution, this video is for you.
