“You talk about the recession. The people that are using our services, they are not worried about the recession. The recession is not going to impact them.” – Eric

Eric and his business partner created a high end lawn care business, TurfBrothas757.com (website coming soon).

They make lawns look like 1/4″ golf course grass.

We talk about what drives an entrepreneurial mindset:

Having a need and thinking “I wonder if I could do that.”
Utilizing your surplus and trading/selling your surplus.

Note that the audio is a little distorted in this episode. One of the challenges of including new voices with people who are not professional podcast guests, is that you make do with the tech that you have over Zoom (the folk’s don’t always have pro mics). The EQ is kind of “wonky”. I cleaned it up as best as I could. It was still great info to go ahead and publish rather than doing it all over again.

Seeds and trees have “memory”. They thrived and reproduced in a certain climate.

Often when you buy chestnut trees or seeds online, you have to buy from nurseries in the Northeast or Southeast US, or the Pacific Northwest.

Take it from us, trees grown in those climates do not do well in Kansas.

Buying from our Kansas homestead, with nut trees grown and adapted to the Midwest, will make them much more likely to be successful on your homestead or in your yard.
