143 | Mark Paulsen & Dylon Koch | Why HYDRATION is so VITAL for UTILITY workers

You can’t afford not to listen to this episode because it might cost your life. There is a rise in incidents caused by dehydration and heat-related illness within the power utility industry. So I brought on the show the foremost experts on the topic. What I learned was shocking! Honestly, there are relatively easy fixes to the problem and it starts with education.

Mark and Dylon are from a hydration company called Working Athlete. They specialize not only in products to help combat dehydration and heat-related illness but are also passionate about educating us on the risks and how to prevent them.
