KEY QUOTES BY MEGAN:

  • Plasters are like service professionals: They’re one of the last to touch a pool build and often get blamed for things that aren’t actually their fault.

  • Don’t turn your nose up at the hot tub industry. There is a lot of money rolling around on that side of the business.
