Episode 85: LIVE Episode! Lucas Congdon of Lucas Lagoons
Another stop of the live tour is in the books and it was a great one! We had the opportunity to interview Lucas Congdon of Lucas Lagoons. You have probably seen him on the hit TV show Insane Pools Off the Deep End. We were very excited to have the opportunity to sit down with Lucas as we have been fans of the show for a long time. Lucas shared some of his backstory with us and how growing up in Vermont taught him a hard work ethic and gave him his creative spirit, both of which he still uses today. We also discuss how since he was young, he has always tried to be in front of the camera and how he used YouTube to get his shot at a TV show. And of course, we talk about the giant grottos that he is known for!
Learning things in this industry is tough, but learning them on tv with other people watching is even harder. Lucas tells us what it was like in the beginning where he was overbuilding the projects to show off what they could do, even to the point that he didn’t know if the company would survive. He shared several other lessons he has learned along the way since he first started and how he has always overcome obstacles so that he can give the customer a great experience. He even shares some insight about the other members of his team that are on the show. We hope you enjoy the episode as much as we did!
