UTD Scuba Diving Podcast #92 – Instructor Trainer Jon Edwardsen on the Success of His Recent IDC
Send us a textJon Edwardsen has been a UTD instructor almost since the beginning of UTD. He is my colleague, friend, and critic. The great thing about having Jon as an instructor trainer is his uncanny ability to cut through any and all BS and get to the heart of the matter. So when Jon did an IDC with a few of our coaching clients and said he was knocked over by the success of the coaching program, I knew we had to get this recorded.

UTD Scuba Diving Podcast #88 – Jeff Carcast – Free Has No Value
Send us a textOne of the great things about me and Unified Team Diving is that I get to set the company culture around money, finances, student fees, all of it. I feel very strongly that financial transparency is critical to the health of any business. I also believe "free" does not serve anyone – us or you. Basically, I believe free has no value. In this short carcast I expand on my vision around UTD and money.Questions? Comments?
