• Ep 71. Optimizing Operations: Maintenance and Efficiency in Lawn Care
    Jun 20 2024

    In this episode of the Turf Wars Podcast, Alex Brown and Jacob discuss various aspects of their lawn care and hay farming businesses. They start with light-hearted banter about daily routines and the challenges of public restrooms. The conversation quickly shifts to more serious topics, including the operational challenges they face, such as equipment issues, the importance of regular maintenance, and the impact of weather on their work. They touch on the high costs associated with maintaining their machinery and the logistics of managing large properties efficiently.

    The discussion also delves into the business strategies they use, such as monthly pricing models for lawn care services, which they believe can provide more stability compared to per-cut pricing. They talk about the advantages of prepaying and having a credit card on file for customers to streamline billing processes. The episode concludes with reflections on market trends, the profitability of selling cattle, and the complexities of managing customer expectations in the lawn care industry. Alex and Jacob emphasize the importance of communication and setting clear standards with customers to manage workload and maintain profitability.

  • Ep 69. Rabbit Hole Part 2 (With Suprise Special Guest Todd Eastham)
    Jun 4 2024

    "Going down the rabbit hole" is a phrase that means becoming deeply engrossed or involved in a complex, confusing, or surreal situation. It often implies getting sidetracked or absorbed by something that leads to a series of tangential and unexpected paths, similar to how Alice in Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" falls down a rabbit hole and enters a fantastical and bewildering world. This phrase sums up today's wild episode with Jacob Crider and special guest Todd Eastham. Part 2 of 2.
