  • Best Green Industry Podcast!

    Kory and LeRoy do a fantastic job keeping it real, relevant and super valuable. Some podcasts seem like noting but commercials.

    Not this one. I have grown in my understanding of what it takes to help organize, run and maximize my solo owner/operator business.

    They have a great mix of sizes and different models of business in the Green Industry. This is the only one I listen to anymore! Keep up the great job!
