  • Please don’t podcast together!

    Guys I love you and the info you provide but after hearing today’s episode I couldn’t be any more turned off to it. It’s like a little kid listening to mom and dad fight. It’s really awkward and feels like something that should be private and not aired out for everyone to hear. Guys, I’m a big fan but lock in already. You’re trying to promote together in the trades and listen to how the two of you talk to each other. Love you guys but not a fan of the two of you together on here.

  • My favorite Podcast

    I can’t believe I am just now getting around to leaving a 5 star review. “Kid Contractor Podcast” is my favorite podcast of all time, of all time!!!!!!

    Caleb and Brittany are very relatable and have tons of knowledge. I can’t recommend this podcast enough!

    Checkout the hardscape academy and together in the trades too, both worth the time and money!

  • Essential Listening for Any Landscape or Hardscape Pro

    I’ve been in the landscape business for 20 years and own my own company. I discovered this podcast two years ago and it completely changed my perspective. It introduced me to the incredible hardscape community I didn’t even know existed. Working in Florida, this industry can be tough, but hearing from Kid Contractor and all the voices featured on the show makes it feel more like a family you can grow with. Always motivating, always real—keep up the great work, guys!
