  • The Dave Ramsey of the Landscape Industry

    I listen to a lot of landscaping and business podcasts, and The Mulder Life Podcast is easily one of my top two favorites. The live Q&A format reminds me of Dave Ramsey’s EntreLeadership podcast — practical, direct, and packed with wisdom you can actually use in your business.

    If you’re in the landscape industry and want real, no-nonsense advice from someone who’s been in the trenches, this podcast is a must-listen.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep 156. Mastering the Open Graded Base: Why We Never Have Patio Failures
Q: How do you sell landscape jobs, hardscape jobs when you're starting out?
Start with small, manageable projects like a garbage can pad, use the opportunity to take photos, learn from the process, and advertise those learnings to build credibility before taking on larger jobs.
Ep 154. Mastering the Organized Job Site
Q: Matthew.b41, could you speak to the importance of having an organized job site and some things you do to keep the site organized? Do you plan to implement anything like Jeremy has with the tool caddies?
The host explains the necessity of a pre-job walk with the foreman, clear site planning, end-of-day cleanup, and dedicated organization for materials and tools; emphasizes walkthroughs and 3D planning to align the crew, and suggests gradually delegating responsibilities to foremen to stay close to the job site while growing the company.
Ep 163. Someone Else is Cheaper": How to Respond Without Losing Your Mind
Q: How do you respond to the person that says, I found someone that can do it cheaper?
Accept it gracefully, thank them for their time, and say you understand their decision; focus on apples-to-apples comparisons and, if needed, discuss scope rather than price to preserve the relationship and avoid a fruitless back-and-forth.
Ep 157. Legacy Folders and Barn Fires: Preparing Your Business for the Unthinkable
Q: What do you do to prepare for events that could threaten your business continuity?
Document and inventory every asset, create a centralized photo archive, and maintain a detailed, shared folder (like a Shop Photos Dropbox) so your family or successors can value, replace, and continue the business with minimal friction.
Ep 160. The Instagram Brotherhood: Networking Your Way to a Better Trade
Q: What role did social networks play in your growth and ongoing learning?
The Instagram community created a supportive network—'the brotherhood'—facilitating mentorship, knowledge sharing, and opportunities to meet peers during events and trips, which helped Erik learn new techniques and expand his network beyond his local market.
