Bryan McIntyre was already talking to military recruiters when our country was attacked on 9-11. He was one of the many brave men and women who answered the call to fight evil in Najaf and Fallujah, Iraq, so that we could remain safe and free.
During his four years, Bryan served in the United States Marine Corps as a member of the 11th MEU earning the Marine Achievement Medal with Valor and a Purple Heart as a co-platoon leader.
As I interviewed Bryan, I had the opportunity to experience first-hand what many Americans only hear about. Bryan is one of those silent heroes who work every day to serve his customers and team members, trying to make the world a little better. You would probably never know you just met a hero by passing Bryan on the street. Very inspiring indeed.
We explored Bryan’s post-military journey in skilled trades during our conversation. Like many vets who have access to the G.I. Bill, he chose skilled trades (HVACR) over college. He shares his experience starting, like most, as a service technician and quickly moving up to his current position as a service manager.
During our discussion, Byran shares that he is not an ant-college and was attracted to skilled trades for several reasons discussed in this episode.

Today I get to sit down with Berkin Arikan CEO of HydroMX.
For decades propylene glycol (PG) and Ethylene Glycol (EG) have been the gold standards for heat transfer fluid used in many process cooling applications.
HydroMX has a potentially game-changing product entering the market now that energy efficiency and carbon footprint reduction are on the minds of many companies.
Berkin shares how HydroMX has leveraged Nano-Technology to achieve some interesting benchmarks within the thermal fluids market space.
Highlights of some of the discussion topics covered in this podcast on the HydroMX Product:
** Product can be retrofitted into an existing system running PG & EG.
** HydroMX case studies have found a minimum of 20% improvement in heat transfer capability even at concentrations of 50%. In many cases, sites running this product exceed 30% heat transfer improvements.
** HydroMx guarantees the performance, and some restrictions may apply. Check with HydroMX for the latest details.
** Even at concentrations of 50% HydroMX and 50% water, there is limited to no change in process fluid pressure drop over the system running straight water.
If you are an end user of service contractor that uses or services hydronic systems running glycol, you should find this episode interesting.
