In this episode, we sit down with Freddie Lewis, a former professional baseball player who found his way into the landscape industry through a connection with our hosts, Jason and Jordan. Freddie shares his journey, from playing for the New York Yankees to working alongside Jason and Jordan in their early landscape business ventures. Freddie recounts the valuable lessons he learned from Jason and Jordan, from mastering landscape design and installation to developing a strong customer service mindset. He discusses how those formative experiences shaped his own path, leading him to eventually start his own landscape company and, more recently, transition into his current role as a Business Development Manager at Yellowstone Landscape. We also welcome Brandon Steele from FIS, part of the Heritage Landscape Supply Group, who provides insights into the company’s EOP event and the value they bring to their customers. The conversation covers the challenges and opportunities in the landscape industry, the importance of continuous improvement, and the power of building lasting partnerships. Throughout the episode, our hosts Jason, Jordan, and Bryan share their own experiences and stories, offering a unique perspective on the industry. From alligator hunting adventures to the importance of hiring the right team, this episode provides a candid look at the realities of running a successful landscape business, with Freddie’s journey serving as a testament to the value of mentorship and collaboration in the green industry.
