Ep 50. From Surviving to Thriving with a 2 Man Landscape Company
Description: Corey and Collin Schindler are truly role models of what we mean when we say #thrivenotsurvive at SynkedUP. Their story is both so relatable, and inspiring.
Long story short, they went from being reactive in their decision-making, to strategic.
They spent $5k a year on SynkedUP, and made $100k in additional profit in their first year. If you ask them, they’ll tell you it felt like spending money they didn’t have. But that investment came back to them many times over.

Caleb and Jack from Kindred Outdoor Solutions have dived into the entrepreneurial rollercoaster together as a 50/50 partnership, and they're doing really well.
This intrigues me, as I know the 50/50 partnerships are controversial. But Jack and Caleb give us a peek into how it's working, what the challenges are, and the decisions they've made that have really benefitted the business.

Ep 47. Commonalities Amongst All Contractors
Today I got to interview Manny Neves from the Construction Life Podcast for my own show. Manny was a general contractor for years and started his podcast out on the job sites.
Obviously, my background is in landscaping, so what I wanted to do was to pick his brain on what challenges he saw in contractors succeeding from his background as a general contractor.
