It’s about one thing most business owners overlook: the client experience.

In this episode, I break down how focusing on your client’s journey - from the first call to final payment and everything in between - creates a compounding snowball effect that drives real growth.

We cover:

Why “client first” doesn’t mean “customer is always right”
How removing friction makes it easier for people to buy from you
The real reason businesses lose clients over time
Why speed, communication, and consistency matter more than marketing
How systems, technology, and AI can improve customer service (not replace it)
What to fix first if your business feels stuck or overwhelmed

If you want more repeat customers, better reviews, higher close rates, and a business that’s easier to run - this episode is for you.

👉 The takeaway is simple but powerful:

Make your business the easiest company to work with, and growth follows.

You’ll discover why solving bigger problems is the fastest path to making more money, and how most business owners are stuck competing in oversaturated markets when they could easily move up to serve higher-value clients with less competition.
This episode explores the critical difference between talking to customers who bought versus those who didn’t, and how each conversation serves a completely different purpose in growing your business. We discuss why you rarely need more people or more clients - you just need better ones - and how focusing on quality over quantity transforms your entire operation.
The episode concludes with a powerful mindset shift about relevance and ego in business. Drawing from Alex Hormozi’s insights about Queen Elizabeth and the temporary nature of all success, we explore how understanding our own irrelevance can actually free us from fear and perfectionism. When you realize that none of it really matters in the grand scheme, you can focus on doing your best work without the paralyzing pressure of trying to be perfect.
Whether you’re in landscaping, service-based business, or any industry, these principles will help you charge more, serve better clients, and build a more profitable company while maintaining your sanity. This is essential listening for any entrepreneur who wants to grow their business without losing themselves in the process.

Jacob sat down with his beloved mentor, friend, and the last boss he ever had before launching into entrepreneurship: Brad Zara.

Brad thoughtfully recounts his journey from high school valedictorian to auto body technician - and then what came next: launching his own collision center in central Illinois that turned into the most reputable and well-known companies in his area.

In stories that eerily parallel Jacob's journey, Brad talks about his last boss's words of encouragement, the initial struggles of getting a $20,000 loan to go out on his own, his own dad's role in the early days, plus advice for today's business owners.

Jacob & Brad also talk about the hardest part of growing a business, what to do when you hire the right people for the wrong positions - and even worse, how to deal with toxic employees - plus the best advise for someone just starting out... and so much more.

Enjoy!

In this episode, Jacob sits down with Jess Humphrey, the Production Manager at our southwest Florida landscaping company, to talk hiring, managing, and retaining team members - and more.

This episode is for YOU if you’ve ever said (or thought):

“Nobody wants to work.”

“Everybody I hire sucks.”

“None of these people get it right.”

“I can pay them a ton, but they still leave.”

Some major discussion points in this episode include: building culture, moving employees around to different positions, continuously hiring (and not just advertising and interviewing when desperate), creating leverage for the benefit of the company, and maintaining an “atmosphere of celebration."

In this episode, we dive right into the Tip of the Week on perceived perfection - and, in a weirdly relevant way, how the way you say “Louisville” and “Illinois” doesn’t matter.

When we get into the “big talk,” we hit three points:

1. The importance of writing out your goals DAILY (and how it can be a big motivator on the days you don’t feel like showing up)

2. How to break through the mind-numbing monotony of being consistent (and fight the urge to burn it all down)

3. How charting your progress can help you SEE your progress, even when it’s tiny, and can be a really beautiful way to celebrate your wins

Have you ever wondered: “When do I hire?” “How do I know what to spend?” “Should I finance?”

If you have been absolutely terrified as an entrepreneur, you aren’t alone.

He gets real about mentorship - and how finding someone even *just a couple steps ahead of you* can help guide you away from fears.

Then he dives into the concept of taking on “a little bit more” as a way to combat fear, how to spin “what if” on its head, and experiencing comfort as a business owner.

But first, in the Tip of the Week, we discuss the self-doubt so many of us feel as parents (and business owners and humans)… and why it’s a good thing!

At the time this episode airs, Jacob will be at the Equip Exposition with the Scooter’s team in Louisville, Kentucky. Event takeaways coming in episode 57!

Today we share our thoughts and professional experiences on buying out other lawn care and landscaping companies, as well as our thoughts on joining a franchise in our industry.

But first, the Tip of the Week - a sentimental reminder that you and your partner are on the same team, even when it doesn’t feel like it.

In this episode, we talk:

- that time we bought lawn care accounts to get a new location off the ground

- that *other* time we bought a twenty-year-old lawn and landscape company to expand our existing location

- WHY we did it

- the WORST parts of the buying process/transition

- when and why someone should consider buying lawn care accounts or an entire company

- how to leverage a buy-out as a marketing opportunity (plus the strategy to do it)

- a craaaaaaaazy story about a jilted employee from the company we bought…

plus our thoughts on franchises in the lawn and landscape industry - and more!

Today we are going to talk about *everything* that has happened since we hit the “stop record” button on our “Before Ian” episode. 


But first, happy first birthday to the GROW by Design podcast! We have come a long way and look forward to continuing to evolve and share our lives with complete authenticity in a way that we hope can add value to YOUR life.

We kick off this episode *right* where we left off - from leaving the office the day before the hurricane, knowing that reality (and a hurricane) is going to hit as soon as we go home. We cover last minute prepping and the somber realization that the storm was *not* going to turn or decrease in intensity, then we get into the day of Hurricane Ian.

We discuss our “hurricane bubble,” losing power and connection with the outside world, and the devastating aftermath…

Jacob recounts the morning after the hurricane when neighbors went from strangers to helpers & friends. We talk accounting for our team after the storm, getting boots on the ground to start cleaning up, showing our kids what people do in times like this, what we will do when the next hurricane comes our way, plus more.

We wrap up the episode by announcing the postponement of Training Day, which was due to happen on October 14th, and why we were torn on postponing it at all - plus options for ticket holders.

We were in full preparation mode - in our home, as our multi-generational hurricane "party" was about to commence (with 7 adults, 12 kids, 2 dogs, and 2 reptiles) - and in our business, as our team came together to serve our clients, prepare their own families, and navigate uncertain times with our community.

We discuss evacuations (and why we decided not to leave before the storm hit), what we think may come next, and more.

The next episode will cover what we found out shortly "After Ian"... that our home would make it through the storm unscathed, but that our community and the surrounding areas (specifically, Fort Myers Beach and Sanibel) would be completely devastated - without power and water indefinitely as search and rescue efforts are in full effect and the clean up/rebuild begins.

Our hearts are with each and every person affected by Hurricane Ian. We will be feeling the effects indefinitely.

As of Monday, October 3rd, we made the difficult decision to cancel Training Day. We *will* reschedule as our community rebuilds.

We kick off this episode with Jacob’s biggest takeaway from the Mile High Profit Summit, then we dive into the Tip of the Week on self-talk, programming, and boundaries.

Then comes the big talk on imposter syndrome (revisited).

We get real about what makes *us* feel imposter syndrome, like we don’t belong - and it’s totally opposite for each of us.

We talk imposter syndrome in the professional arena: with debt and lines of credit, intimidation around other business owners, as a leader… plus, the cons of *not* feeling imposter syndrome professionally.

Then we talk imposter syndrome in our personal lives: specifically, how Nicholle feels like an inferior mom & wife on the daily.

We discuss discipline and consistently showing up to do the things you *have* to do, even when you don’t feel like it, as a strategy to combat imposter syndrome.

We wrap the episode up with our thoughts on comparing ourselves to others.

First, Nicholle f*cks up the intro… but this episode is GOLD.

This is for anyone who is building their administrative team and wants to help them WIN so the company can thrive.

But before we dive in, we hit the Tip of the Week: a friendly reminder (because we care about YOU) to get your bloodwork done. Check your levels. Make sure you are where you need to be - or make changes, so you can feel and be your BEST.

In this episode, we talk about:

1. Starting with a strong phone greeting

2. Collecting the information of every person who calls your office

3. How to strategic navigate a call when you do NOT offer the service

4. Finishing the task & preparing the client for “what to expect”

5. How we have automated the consultation booking process to simplify processes for our admin team

6. How to handle price objections & stand behind the value of the company

7. Qualifying leads & openly advertising prices (and how you are not meant to serve *everyone* who calls)

8. How to navigate clients who want to BYPASS the admin and speak directly to the owner (and turn it into a marketing opportunity)

9. A *smart* marketing strategy that will have your competitors’ clients calling you…

10. How to reply to COMPLIMENTS (and turn them into Google reviews)

11. The importance of consistently communicating with *every person* in your CRM (and how to do it well)

Then we go right into the Tip of the Week: “what gets measured gets improved.” This is SO true for all sectors of life - in your business, your health, and even in your relationships.

But if you’re here for the big talk, then you’ll love what comes next.


We discuss how Jacob fits two workouts into *every* day, the difference in just being physically active and actually treating your body & mind well, our gym routines, tracking nutrition, [how little we know about] gym belts, and more.

But first, the Tip of the Week: leaders can be vulnerable too… do you struggle with putting your walls down? Don’t be afraid to have conversations like the one we have today.

Then our main topic kicks off with the question “what tools did you learn in marriage counseling that helped your communication the MOST?”

We may not be able to give you quotes from our therapist as a silver bullet for your relationship, but we CAN (and do) openly share more about who *we* are, the things we have been through, our personal strengths & weaknesses, and the biggest struggles we have in our relationship today.

We dive into our childhoods, [controversial thoughts on] depression, how Jacob combats bad moods, taking control of your mind, and so. much. more.

Then we dive into the main topic: employing our children at our landscaping company.

We recently put Jace (almost 7) and Blake (just turned 5) on our payroll - and now we’re telling you all about it.


(Spoiler alert: Blake no called, no showed after his first week.)

We dive into the “life lessons” and motivation behind this decision, the tasks we have assigned Jace, and how we are incorporating it into a well-rounded homeschooling education.

Finally, we challenge you to ask your kids a really special question… and we want to know what they say, so tag us on Instagram with their response.

The hard-hitting Tip of the Week transitions right into our main talk on a weird trend we noticed happening in August every year.

If you have ever felt overwhelmed by too much (or not enough work), lack of employees, or the burnout that comes with business ownership… this one is for you.

Today’s episode was inspired by a recent coaching call with our good friends: a couple about to leave their first lawn and landscaping location in the hands of their leadership team to launch a second location.

The cool part? Their first location is *also* in Illinois, and their second location is *also* in southwest Florida.

With this huge transition on their plates, they asked us: “what did YOU do to have such an aggressive launch in Florida?”

So in this episode, we give some of our BEST advice for anyone who wants to aggressively launch their business. Whether it be your first, second, fifth, or tenth launch, this is for you.

But before we dive in, don’t miss the Tip of the Week on mining gold… it might be exactly what you’re missing.

Today’s episode is all about hiring… and how damn hard it is to build a team.

We kick it off with a strong Tip of the Week that will massively improve your culture, along with what we are doing right now to show our team members that we appreciate them.

Then we dive right in with an answer to the question: “why is it so hard for businesses starting out to find help?”

We get REAL about how to present your business on social media and how it directly correlates to your success when hiring, plus our tips on *what* to post to attract the right people.

(Yes, post your lunch on your business Facebook.)

But if you’re hearing us and thinking, “that strategy sounds great, but it’s not for me,” then the next part is FOR SURE for you.

We discuss what to do if you HATE the idea of getting in front of the camera and posting yourself all over social media in order to build your team.

Then we wrap up by talking about the interview process, holding interviews at Starbucks, and avoiding hiring the wrong people.

Stay for the *very* end...

We get real about what *really* happened on Jacob’s motocross journey to Loretta Lynn’s Ranch, then we dive deep into the list of major f*ck ups we’ve had over the years…

We’ve kept bad employees too long, pissed off great clients, installed the wrong thing at a client's property… and that's just the tip of it.

So what’s the message?

Embrace failure.

Start sucking more and sucking faster, so you can learn and grow faster, *especially* if you feel like your business isn’t growing as quickly as you wish it was.

It is time to break free from the negative narratives that nobody wants to work, you can’t make money doing X, or there is a monetary cap on what you can build.

People will doubt you, but YOU are your only limit. It just requires the audacity to do it.

The Foundational Four is a familiar concept that Jacob has integrated into [business coaching group] GROW Comm. Over the course of four weeks, we have been breaking down each sector of the F4 framework: love, health, mind, and money.

This is the fourth and FINAL episode in this series, all about MONEY.

But first, we provide an update on Jacob’s motocross journey to Loretta Lynn’s Ranch (and how the universe has been saying “f*ck no” to training attempts). 
We’re taking off to the Southeast Regional Qualifiers this week, so we vulnerably dive into Jacob’s mental & physical state as he prepares.


This leads smoothly into the Tip of the Week: do you do the things you say you’re going to do? Even when you're scared? Even when the buzz wears off? If you don’t, then start. It will change the outcome of your life.

To get straight into our money talk, Jacob shares HIS current financial targets for the next 90 days.

Nicholle asks the question: “could a money goal be ‘how do I get out of the field?’” If so, how do we break it down?

Jacob gives book recommendations on the abundance mindset surrounding money.

Nicholle warns you to cull your network, plus we cover SO MUCH MORE in this episode.

The Foundational Four is a familiar concept that Jacob has integrated into [business coaching group] GROW Comm. Over the course of four weeks, we are breaking down each sector of the F4 framework: love, health, mind, and money.

Today is the third episode of the four part series, and we are talking all about your MIND: specifically, how to water your mind like a garden and strengthen your mindset to achieve success in your life, relationships, and business journey.

We kick it off with the Tip of the Week (plus a CHALLENGE): what is your mantra? If you have one, is it fierce like Jacob’s… or a gentle reminder like Nicholle’s?

Don’t have one? Create one. We’ll walk you through it.

Later in this episode, we dissect your “story," the victim mentality (especially when leading employees), the Serenity Prayer, and much more.

The Foundational Four is a familiar concept that Jacob has integrated into [business coaching group] GROW Comm. Over the course of four weeks, we are breaking down each sector of the F4 framework: love, health, mind, and money.

Today's episode is all about HEALTH. We go deep into Jacob's wellness (and illness) journey - from the "fittest he has ever been" to then falling into the pit of stress that so many new business owners experience, where health just simply takes a backseat (and gas station hot dogs start riding shotgun).

As our first landscaping business was starting to grow, Jacob was knocked down and dragged out by a one-in-a-million illness that resulted in congestive heart failure. We tell the whole story from failed hippie witch remedies to his acceptance of possible death.

But he lived! (Obviously.)

Another big, upsetting event later, and Jacob was finally re-directed to health as a priority... which leads us here now, to the most "well" both of us have ever been - and our advice on how YOU can create a map (or goal plan) to experience success in this sector.

The Foundational Four is a familiar concept that Jacob has integrated into [business coaching group] GROW Comm. Over the next four weeks, we are breaking down each sector of the F4 framework: love, health, mind, and money.

Today's episode is all about LOVE: specifically, both of our unique journeys with love (and hate). From “racing motocross and chasing girls” and being “hurt people hurting people” all the way to becoming two healed individuals who have done the WORK to create a thriving relationship that can serve an example for their children (and that feels like the early days of dating all over again nine years in)… we get DEEP in this episode.

But first, we come out swinging with the Tip of the Week (that has NOTHING to do with love, racing motocross, *or* chasing girls). We answer the question: "what do you do when your lawn & landscape crews are on a roll of damaging equipment and/or clients' properties?"

This is a good one, and you won't want to miss it.

Then we dive right into the Tip of the Week about connecting with intention. This means putting aside the excuses that you’re “too tired” for sex or “too busy” to meet friends out for dinner, and instead, prioritizing connection to maintain a well-rounded, entrepreneurial life.

The bulk of the episode is what you came for though: how to reframe negative situations in love and business. We discuss the lessons learned in marriage counseling that assist in these “reframes,” then recall some of the WORST things to ever happen to us in business - and how we pivoted & reframed in order to thrive.

Yep, we’re talking about getting sued, losing $40,000 on ONE landscaping project, dealing with a pandemic (and what we would do differently), closing down an entire business and MORE.

Ahhhh, the infamous "wedge salad."

(If you don't know what we are talking about, you will soon.)

In this episode, we talk about the lessons an 11-year-old episode of Modern Family has taught us - and how this running joke has also been a source of disappointment and frustration between us.

BUT FIRST: in the Tip of the Week, we throw the old adage of "surrounding yourself with who you want to become" on its head and challenge YOU to "become who you want to be around" instead.
