Welcome back to the Mowing in the Dark LAWN CARE Podcast! Many, many, business owners love the biblical book of Proverbs and for good reason. It isn't called the book of wisdom for nothing. But, if you read the reast of the bible, especially Jesus life in the Gospels, you will see that Jesus basically goes against everything our human nature would do in business. Proverbs leaves room for taking someone to court or even revenge, but Jesus leaves no room for either of those things. Jesus says, "turn the other cheek" and "do good to those who persecute you". So how are we suppose to think of these two differing pictures we see in the bible? Let's talk about it.

Together, they discuss the challenges of hiring, the traps of “bigger is better” thinking, and how to build a business that aligns with your vision instead of burning you out.

Welcome back to the Mowing in the Dark LAWN CARE Podcast! Technology has consumed our culture in America and it is only getting worse. Recently I found myself down the social media rabbit hole and it consumed my life. So in order to combat social media addiction I have started completely turning off my phone for 12 hours a day from 6 pm - 8 am. IT is amazing how freeing it feels to be doom scrolling on facebook for hours at a time. I sleep better, I am more present with my family, and I am way completing more business tasks than ever before. There is no phone call so important with lawn care that it can't wait until the work day. **Please give the podcast a 5 star rating and review in Apple Podcasts.** Give Me Your Feedback: http://www.linktr.ee/lansinglawnservice Buy Me A Coffee: http://www.buymeacoffee.com/mowinginthedark Michigan Maple Coffee: https://amzn.to/4eQZzSR Check out my business websites: www.lansinglawnservice.com www.gravelblasters.com , www.sutterbrotherslawncare.com Check out My Favorite Lawn Care Gear: Werner, AC78, Quickclick Stabilizer, Aluminum https://amzn.to/2OTOfMf Wonder Grip WG318L Liquid-Proof Double-Coated/Dipped Natural Latex Rubber Work Gloves 13-Gauge Seamless Nylon, Large, Large https://amzn.to/2Ytjml6 Hodenn Zero Turn Lawn Mower Hitch - Fits Ariens & Gravely ZT-X: https://amzn.to/3jJmEua ECHO Black Diamond Trimmer Line: https://amzn.to/2GBEL7d

Following a lukewarm eight months of music for 2024, one could say it wouldn't necessarily be surprising...breakdown all of the nominees for this year's award show with me, including some Taylor Swift ts12 predicting (of course) and some ranting and raving about how excessive lawn mowing is ruining the earth.

Welcome back to the Mowing in the Dark LAWN CARE Podcast! Today I was listening to the Fullerton Unfiltered podcast and something Brian said got me to look back on my first year of business as Sutter Brothers Lawn Care. If you didn't know I had a business in Lansing, MI for the last 10 years and shut it down when we purchased my childhood home that was located 50 miles away from Lansing. I started this lawn care season with just two lawn mowing clients. Now that we're in August I can say that I have 15 clients (these are very big lawns, 3-5 acres) and I am about half way to where I was when I closed down my business in Lansing. If you want to hear the rest of the story listen to the podcast. It is an amazing story. **Please give the podcast a 5 star rating and review in Apple Podcasts.** Give Me Your Feedback: http://www.linktr.ee/lansinglawnservice GREEN FROG WEB DESIGN SPECIFICALLY FOR LAWN CARE *Your First Month is ONLY $1.00* https://greenfrogwebdesign.com/ Buy Me A Coffee: http://www.buymeacoffee.com/mowinginthedark Michigan Maple Coffee: https://amzn.to/4eQZzSR Check out my business websites: www.lansinglawnservice.com www.gravelblasters.com , www.sutterbrotherslawncare.com Check out My Favorite Lawn Care Gear: Werner, AC78, Quickclick Stabilizer, Aluminum https://amzn.to/2OTOfMf Wonder Grip WG318L Liquid-Proof Double-Coated/Dipped Natural Latex Rubber Work Gloves 13-Gauge Seamless Nylon, Large, Large https://amzn.to/2Ytjml6 Hodenn Zero Turn Lawn Mower Hitch - Fits Ariens & Gravely ZT-X: https://amzn.to/3jJmEua ECHO Black Diamond Trimmer Line: https://amzn.to/2GBEL7d

Welcome back to the Mowing in the Dark LAWN CARE Podcast! Recently I did a driveway project and I had bid plans for how this thing was going to go. I had it all planned out. I had the time of everything perfect in my mind and everything was going to run on schedule includng the delivery of 27 yards of crushed limestone. The only problem was that nothing went to plan. It was 104 degrees out side. My geo textile fabric got wrapped around my power rake drum, twice, and the limestone that I scheduled for 3 pm came at 12:30. This project did not go as planned. **Please give the podcast a 5 star rating and review in Apple Podcasts.** Give Me Your Feedback: http://www.linktr.ee/lansinglawnservice GREEN FROG WEB DESIGN SPECIFICALLY FOR LAWN CARE *Your First Month is ONLY $1.00* https://greenfrogwebdesign.com/ Buy Me A Coffee: http://www.buymeacoffee.com/mowinginthedark Michigan Maple Coffee: https://amzn.to/4eQZzSR Check out my business websites: www.lansinglawnservice.com www.gravelblasters.com , www.sutterbrotherslawncare.com Check out My Favorite Lawn Care Gear: Werner, AC78, Quickclick Stabilizer, Aluminum https://amzn.to/2OTOfMf Wonder Grip WG318L Liquid-Proof Double-Coated/Dipped Natural Latex Rubber Work Gloves 13-Gauge Seamless Nylon, Large, Large https://amzn.to/2Ytjml6 Hodenn Zero Turn Lawn Mower Hitch - Fits Ariens & Gravely ZT-X: https://amzn.to/3jJmEua ECHO Black Diamond Trimmer Line: https://amzn.to/2GBEL7d

When I was a teenager, I used to earn extra money mowing lawns. And we didn't have a gas-powered mower. I had one of those old push mowers. But I didn't mind. A few extra bucks in my pocket gave me a little freedom. I don't get the sense that teens these days ever think about mowing lawns. It's now a business. I encounter more professional trucks rolling through neighborhoods, even on my daily commute to work. They all have big trailers, a couple of lawnmowers, and more string trimmers than they have at Home Depot. Is this happening only in Nashville, or is it widespread across America? No doubt, times have changed...

Welcome back to the Mowing in the Dark LAWN CARE Podcast! After moving my business from Lansing, MI to rural Michigan I thought route density wouldn't be possible.

Interview with Nathan Willason from Jim's Mowng Hahndorf about all things Jim's Mowing!
People see the end results of hard work. And they want those results for themselves. It's great when you see someone in your dream car, someone with a ripped body and people desire the end result. You meet someone successful wearing a fancy watch, wearing fancy clothes and oftentimes, those things are only a mask for the things they did. They're not showing you the tough times. The times when they were struggling to pay their mortgage. To get through a certain mindset. A bounce back from a failed marriage. Won't they don't see is the countless hours worked to get those results. Going to the gym. Mowing the yard. Most people don't see the countless thoughts trying to keep me from doing the work. Success is a result of overcoming the temptations of staying in our comfort zones. It's pushing through the hard things your mind treats as a threat. I tell my mind to shut the fuck up. Do the work. And get the result. The successful mind finds a way to do the hard things to get things done. Power on.

Don and Tom kick off this episode by responding to a one-star Apple Podcast reviewer who promised to upgrade to five stars—if they correct their allegedly false Bitcoin claims. Challenge accepted. Don clarifies his earlier “nobody uses Bitcoin” remark by digging into the actual numbers: only 15,000 businesses worldwide accept it, out of over 359 million—roughly 0.0004%, making it statistically more rare than a lightning strike. They also break down the real costs of converting Bitcoin to dollars: while some exchanges charge under 1%, Bitcoin ATMs routinely charge 5–25% in fees, with total costs sometimes exceeding 30%. Then, a listener calls in with a ChatGPT-generated portfolio featuring VUG, VEA, SMH, and AXON. Don tears it apart for being tech-heavy, overly concentrated, and missing broad market exposure—ironically, even ChatGPT agrees with him. Listeners also get advice on why ETFs are gradually replacing mutual funds, when (if ever) annuities make sense, and why indexed annuities are the financial industry's version of timeshares: opaque, overpriced, and always sold, never bought. Despite the facts and the humor, Don doubts his five-star redemption is coming—but if Greg's Mowing and Septic accepts Bitcoin, there's still hope. 0:26 Don confronts repeat negative podcast reviewers 1:35 NavRep's public offer: “Correct your Bitcoin lies and I'll give 5 stars” 2:31 Bitcoin rebuttal: 15,000 businesses accept it—out of 359 million 5:13 Teaser: Bitcoin conversion fees part 2 coming up after the break 6:26 Don admits his imprecise “nobody accepts Bitcoin” claim 8:19 Clearing up the 8% Bitcoin conversion fee claim—context was ATMs 9:49 Bitcoin ATM fees average 17.5%, sometimes hit 30% 11:04 Exchange conversion under 1% is possible—but not for quick cash 13:10 Volatility and impracticality still make Bitcoin a poor currency 16:00 ChatGPT jokes: “Beer at a Baptist wedding” & “Greg the mower” 16:49 Caller Jason asks ChatGPT for a portfolio; Don and Tom cringe 17:46 ChatGPT suggested a tech-heavy, overly concentrated portfolio 20:40 Better suggestions: VT, AVGE, DFAW—not VUG/SMH/AXON 21:50 Don's GPT criticizes Jason's GPT: “No bonds, no value, no real estate” 23:43 Caller Scott nails TRM's philosophy and nearly retires Don 26:12 The rare “pros” of annuities—and their bigger downsides 28:24 Indexed annuities: regular income taxed as ordinary income 30:02 Betting against the house: how annuity math favors insurers 31:44 Caller Jane asks if ETFs are better than mutual funds 32:05 ETF settlement is faster, but that's not a reason to choose 33:30 Vanguard accounts support ETFs beyond their own funds 34:51 Updated: mutual funds now settle T+1, ETFs also T+1 36:26 Jane warned about National Life Group's indexed annuity pitch 37:07 Why Don hates indexed annuities: high fees, low returns, opaque structure 39:27 Still selling like hotcakes: $27B in indexed annuities sold Q1 2025 40:35 Wrap-up: annuities remain unethical despite legality and popularity Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of Maximize Your Hunt, host Jon Teater discusses the importance of land management and habitat improvement for hunting properties. He emphasizes the significance of soil amendments and the role of beekeeping in enhancing the landscape. The conversation with Bill Kaufman explores how to create a bee-friendly environment and the diversity of pollinators that contribute to a thriving ecosystem. In this conversation, the speakers discuss the importance of maintaining bee habitats, the impact of non-native bees, and the human influence on bee populations. They explore the concept of rewilding and how to create sustainable environments for bees and other pollinators. The discussion emphasizes the need for ecological balance and the role of local communities in supporting beekeeping efforts. Takeaways Soil amendments are crucial for successful food plots. Beekeeping can enhance biodiversity on hunting properties. Diversity in plant life supports various pollinators. Natural habitats should be preserved for bees and other wildlife. Mowing practices can impact bee populations positively or negatively. Understanding the role of different bee species is essential. Creating a balanced ecosystem benefits both hunters and wildlife. Collaboration with local beekeepers can enhance land management. Bees require diverse food sources for optimal health. Land management should focus on sustainability and ecological balance. Mowing around beehives helps prevent ticks and bee loss. Maintaining fields prevents encroachment of trees and supports bee foraging. Non-native bees can coexist with local species if managed properly. Human practices like herbicide use negatively impact bee populations. Rewilding can help restore ecological balance in landscapes. Creating diverse habitats supports a variety of insect life. Local communities can connect with beekeepers for support. Every plant in the ecosystem has a purpose and contributes to biodiversity. Invasive species can indicate nutrient deficiencies in the soil. Bees are efficient foragers and prefer to collect resources close to home.
