KEY TAKEAWAYS

- Sam suggests the PCA uses the latest social media platforms e.g. TikTok to attract younger people into the damp industry and to do PCA training. Why is explained in the episode.

- Sam has 1200 YT videos, 10,000 Facebook followers and 12,000 on TikTok.
- Budapest is well worth a visit.
