Bryan Clayton is the CEO / co-founder of one of the largest lawncare online marketplaces. Listen to JJRR 113 as Bryan shares how he started his entrepreneurial journey as a boy when his father “strongly suggested” he cut the neighbors’ lawn. This first cut grew into a landscaping business so big, $10Million sales / 150 employees, that it was acquired. Post cash out, a viewing of the Social Network inspired Bryan’s next move: software development. Now reinvented as a tech CEO, Bryan is serving the national lawncare industry helping small businesses serve customers in the modern way.
