You're running jobs, meeting with clients, and trying to keep your crew on track. But meanwhile, the admin side of your business is stacking up—emails, invoices, scheduling, social media, customer follow-ups. Before you know it, you're buried in $12/hour tasks while the big money jobs get put on hold.   In this episode, Scott sits down with Derek Shaw and Kelli Anh of Hyre (formerly Hey Lieu) to show landscapers how Virtual Assistants (VAs) can save you from burnout and help you grow faster.   You'll learn: ✅ The 3 smartest ways landscapers are using VAs right now ✅ Real-world examples of how VAs handle bookkeeping, scheduling, social media, and customer follow-up ✅ How VAs can support your crew in the field—so techs focus on the work, not the paperwork ✅ Simple steps to delegate without losing control of your business ✅ Why holding onto every task yourself is costing you money   If you're stuck doing everything on your own—or you've hit that awkward stage where you can't yet afford another hire—this episode will show you a better way.   Quick win: Hand off one repetitive task (like scheduling or social posts) to a VA and get hours back in your week immediately.

Send us a textIn this episode, I'm talking about a battle we've all faced at some point: pool pros vs. landscapers and gardeners. Whether it's broken vacuum lines, blown leaves into a freshly cleaned pool, or just bad timing on service days, I've seen it all. I'll share stories, some hard-earned lessons, and ways you can set boundaries and communicate better with the other folks working the same properties.

TALK TO ME, TEXT ITThe unpredictable dangers that surround us take center stage as I explore how quickly life can change when we least expect it. A Google software engineer's life was tragically cut short by a falling sequoia branch at Yosemite National Park, highlighting the random perils that exist even in nature's most beautiful settings. This sobering reminder of our vulnerability extends to supposed "controlled environments" too, as evidenced by the disturbing incident where an octopus latched onto a six-year-old boy at a Texas aquarium's interactive exhibit, requiring three staff members five minutes to free him.Beyond physical dangers, we're navigating social threats as well. The viral story of a 58-year-old professional who believes his age has rendered him unemployable resonates with many Gen-Xers and Boomers facing similar challenges. With studies showing 90% of workers over 40 experiencing ageism, it's clear that expertise and experience aren't always valued in today's job market. It's particularly frustrating when considering the superior work ethic many older workers bring to the table - something I've witnessed firsthand in my workplace, where punctuality and preparation vary dramatically between generations.My frustration reaches its peak when sharing how my workplace essentially penalized early arrivals by changing policies to accommodate chronically late employees. What kind of system discourages dedication while enabling tardiness? As I wrap up today's episode, I'm on the hunt for new television recommendations - preferably crime fiction without excessive elements, similar to Broadchurch or Landscapers. What are you watching right now that might fit my tastes? I'd love to hear your suggestions for solid, entertaining shows that don't sacrifice quality storytelling for agenda-pushing content.Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREE Thanks for listening!
