It was great to hear their story about how they started, both working in different jobs until Covid happened and put them both out of work, so they started their own maintenance business which has turned into their current business. They're doing plenty right in the early days of business so its a great episode to listen to and learn from.

    Episode 304 - Xavier and Yasmin Schaff - Alchemy Landscaping and askWillow

    In this episode I speak with Xavier and Yasmin Schaff, a husband and wife from Victoria where Xavier is a co-owner of Alchemy Landscaping and Yasmin is the creator of askWillow, an AI quoting app made purely for landscapers. It was great getting to talk to Xavier about his business and I found there were a lot of similarities between the way he's gone about things compared to me, and then hearing about the app he and Yasmin have developed, based off of the challenges and sticking points Xavier has come across in his business, made me excited to understand more about it. If you are interested in anything you heard on this episode, the best place to start is The Landscaper’s Corner - a free community built for landscape business owners. Real conversations about pricing, staff, clients, and job management. No negativity, no fluff.
