59. Planting Seeds: Landscaping Unlimited Goes Back to School

What does a landscaping company have to do with an elementary school?

Everything.

In this episode, Shay and Zac sit down fresh off a visit to Northeast Elementary School in Pinetown, NC, where they represented Landscaping Unlimited, Inc., The Landscaping Podcast, Z Photography & Media, and had a conversation with students that most in this industry would never think to have.

And we must give a shoutout to the students of Northeast Elementary for kicking off this episode themselves; you'll hear THEIR voices right out the gate, and it really doesn't get better than that.

Shay and Zac talk about why showing up in the community matters, why the next generation deserves to see what a real career in the green industry looks like, and why landscaping is far more than mowing lawns...

It's design, it's business, it's craftsmanship, it's entrepreneurship, and somebody needs to say that out loud where the kids can hear it.

If you've ever believed that what you do with your hands is worth passing down, this episode is for you.
