Corey is a true role model

The Yoda of the green industry! Meeting Corey in person was one of the top three moments of my life! All I. All say is thank you for all you do! My trailer and equipment is EVERYTHING Ballard! Corey is the real deal. He is everything I want to become!
Leroy is the leader and owner we should all strive to be! These two are leaders, husbands, and fathers that all humans should strive to become.

Best green industry podcast hands down

You guys are great together. Love the knowledge you both bring to the table. Also love how you guys bring on experienced and successful guest. Other green podcasters are just busy interviewing each other over and over, and or 15 yr old kids and their 15 yards.

I would have paid to listen.

Possibly one of the best podcasts I’ve listened to. So much great information that I would expect to hear in a one on one coaching call times 10. Awesome job. Hope you do more like this.
