In this episode of the Growing Green Podcast, Jeremiah sits down with Pat Murray of Local Roots to unpack a powerful and raw conversation around leadership, burnout, and building a sustainable business. Pat shares the behind-the-scenes reality of scaling a $10M landscaping company, including the intentional shift toward recurring maintenance revenue and the operational complexity that comes with growth. The conversation takes a deeper turn as Pat opens up about hitting a breaking point, navigating burnout, and ultimately stepping away for a sabbatical to recover and reset. Together, they discuss the importance of defined roles, asking for help, and building a business that doesn’t rely solely on you. They close with practical strategies for setting boundaries, avoiding chronic stress, and leading effectively through the demands of a growing company.

Derek Clelan went from filing bankruptcy at 24 to building one of the fastest-growing landscape design firms in the country — and he did it in just three years. In this conversation recorded live at LeanScapers in Cape Coral, Jeremiah sits down with Derek to unpack the origin story of Your Haven Design, how they completed 1,500 designs for over 400 contractors across the US, UK, and Canada in a single year, and why design isn't just a deliverable — it's a sales tool, an estimating tool, and a feedback loop all in one. They dig into Your Haven's membership model, how AI is creeping into the design workflow (without replacing the humans doing the actual work), and the bold plan to build a full Design Academy that trains and employs the next generation of landscape designers. If you're a contractor on the fence about adding design to your process, this one will settle it.
