  • Grant & Sons Lawn Care Episode

    GREAT EPISODE!! This is one of the best episodes I have heard across all of the lawn care podcast. Larry conducted this episode so good, I couldn’t tell if it was Larry or Joe Rogan. Great episode. John and Caden are killing it, Caden is very wise beyond his years. Watch him, he is destined for great things for great things in our industry.
