Building a crew that sticks around is not luck. It comes from leadership, culture, and doing the small things right year after year. In this episode, Weston sits down with someone who played a huge role in his own start in the industry: Matt Martin from Tussey Landscaping. Weston spent 15 years working under Matt and the Tussey team, and a lot of who he is as a leader today came from those early seasons together. They talk about how Tussey built a crew that shows up, buys in, and stays for decades. They look at what real servant leadership feels like on a job site, why slow and steady growth is often the healthier path, and how years of wrestling with numbers and systems eventually sparked the idea that became SynkedUP. If you want to build a stronger team, keep good people around, and run a business that lasts, this conversation is full of the kind of lessons you only learn from decades in the field.

In this episode of The Untrapped Podcast, Keith drops a brutally honest look at the least talked about part of running a landscaping business: where the hell do you store your equipment when you're just starting out? From hiding trailers in random parking lots to begging for space at a factory, Keith opens up about the stress, fear, and shame that hits when you're hustling with no place to park your truck, trailer, or tools—and how that chaos bleeds into your confidence, marriage, and mindset. But the conversation goes way deeper than storage. Keith breaks down the psychological tug-of-war every new business owner faces: survival mode vs. vision mode. He shares real stories of towing threats, HOA fines, break-ins, and racing against storage-unit closing times… then contrasts that with the moments of inspiration, clarity, and big dreams that come only when the noise finally stops. You'll hear about maintaining perspective during 90-day sprints, avoiding burnout in the busy season, and why losing your "larger view" is what actually drags you into apathy and depression. This is Keith at his realest—no sugarcoating, no guru talk. Just the raw truth about anxiety, responsibility, growing up as a business owner, and refusing to stay trapped. If you've ever felt overwhelmed, ashamed, or one breakdown away from parking your trailer in a stranger's yard out of desperation… this episode is your reminder: you're not alone, you're not crazy, and you can build the stability and freedom you're fighting for.     "If you feel overwhelmed, that's not a sign to quit. It's a sign you're on the edge of leveling up." – Keith Kalfas   Topics Covered: The early grind of having nowhere to store your truck, trailer, or tools Towing scares, HOA drama, and hiding equipment just to stay afloat How constant anxiety leads to rushed, survival-mode decisions Working nonstop yet still feeling like you're falling behind Being broke forcing creativity, resilience, and uncomfortable growth Breaking out of "employee thinking" and stepping into an owner mindset Community tips and real-time advice from other contractors How different seasons shift your mindset—hustle mode vs. big-picture mode The burnout loop: long days, shrinking perspective, and creeping depression Why industry events and community support (like GIE) keep you sane and motivated   Key Takeaways Solve the "Parking Problem" EarlyYour sanity depends on stability. A reliable place to store your trailer and equipment isn't a luxury—it's foundational. Lock in a storage lot, co-op deal, client yard, or commercial space early so you're not living in constant fear of tows, fines, or break-ins. Survival Mode Isn't a Business Plan Shift from panic decisions to long-view leadership. When you're overwhelmed, every problem feels like a crisis. But long-term success comes from stepping out of reaction mode—planning seasons, protecting your mindset, and keeping perspective even when the grind gets ugly.per day. Bigger tickets + fewer trips = cleaner math and calmer schedule. Community Keeps You From Breaking Don't build alone—borrow strength from others. Events like GIE, industry groups, and fellow contractors give you clarity, solutions, and the reminder that you're not the only one fighting through chaos. The right community can shorten your learning curve and keep you moving when you'd otherwise burn out.   Connect with Keith Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/keithkalfas/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thelandscapingemployeetrap Website: https://www.keithkalfas.com/resources Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@keith-kalfas   Resources and Websites:  Start Getting Leads Now https://www.footbridgemedia.com/keith The Untrapped Alliance: https://www.keithkalfas.com/alliance Resources You Need To Build A Successful Business https://www.keithkalfas.com/resources
