    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. Give them a follow!
