Turn Green Into Gold: Why This Lawn Care Franchise Is Your Next Big Opportunity!

Rob Palmer has been a part of the lawn care industry for over a decade, launching his own Ohio-based lawn care company, WeedPro, back in 2001. His long-term success caught the attention of Authority Brands, a leading portfolio company that specializes in home services, which acquired the company in 2023. Through that acquisition, WeedPro rebranded and began franchising as Lawn Squad, which offers comprehensive lawn care services, from fertilization and weed control to aeration, seeding, and insect control, serving both residential and commercial properties.   Rob shares how he successfully transitioned into teaching turf care, which surprisingly turned out to be easier than expected. He developed a rigorous 12-week training program led by PhD Ryan Waltz, the director of training. He describes how Lawn Squad maximizes productivity by completing 12 months of work in just nine and a half months through smart strategies. The speaker highlights the advantage of franchising in different climates, allowing year-round operations. Initially expanding from Cleveland to Columbus and Cincinnati extended their work season by a few weeks, but with franchises now in southern states like Georgia and Texas, they've achieved continuous, 12-month business operations.He  emphasizes the importance of building net worth through their company, Lawn Squad, and now helps franchisees see beyond annual income to understand the broader impact on their financial future and overall wealth. He also discusses the success of a franchise model in its first year, highlighting that nearly 75% of franchise owners are semi-absentee, managing their business while holding full-time jobs.Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe to stay updated with our latest episodes.

Hello and welcome to The Progress Theory, where we discuss scientific principles for optimising human performance. I am Dr. Phil Price. And on today's episode, we are joined by Powerlifter and S&C coach, Rob Palmer. Now, I've known Rob for many, many years and I know he knows a thing or two about getting as strong as possible. He's won many national titles and international titles in Powerlifting and was an S C coach in professional rugby for over 15 years. So I wanted to know a bit more around his processes on getting as strong as possible and see if we can use that to improve our bench press.In this episode, we discuss:0:47 - Introduction7:20 - The importance of a strength culture14:19 - Learning from programming for rugby and powerlifting19:00 - Multifactorial approach to programming22:46 - Common mistakes in strength training25:35 - Variability in strength training & Programming32:27 - Identifying limiters of bench press performance34:01 - Rob's bench press training37:00 - Reflecting on Rob's powerlifting career50:07 - Common mistakes in powerlifting skill55:35 - What is 969 strength?Key FindingsThe Challenges of Professional Sport: "The job in professional sport, you're challenged to make lots and lots and lots of decisions every single day that realistically could have a very negative outcome for the player.""The Value of Strength Training": I still think people don't value strength training as much as they should, because things come in and out of vogue, don't they? So when I first came to the sport, strength training was massive in terms of the thought process of what strength training can do for you. And I'm talking about basic strength training, getting good at deadlifting, getting good at squatting, getting good at being able to bench press, overhead press as much weight as possible, you had this kind of culture.Viral Topic: The Importance of Recovery in RugbyQuote: "In rugby, it's all about the recovery. It's got nothing to do with because the guys who are obviously aerobically really well developed, they're not particularly strong, but they can come in and hit 80% plus, 90% plus. It doesn't seem to affect them the same way that it does the guys who are less fit now, if you take them out of that context, say they get injured and they come out. The guys who are less aerobically developed as soon as they start the weight training. And obviously this is a bit of what you're born with, isn't it?"The Future of Sports Science: "My biggest learnings from rugby are more that kind of truly holistic kind of programming where you have to consider you have an appreciation and consider all the facets of what make an athlete good.""Improving Strength in Training": "Are you applying a stimulus? And is that stimulus great enough to elicit some sort of adaptation as you come back up?"Injury Prevention in Sports Training: "So you do lots of volume and you work on lots of different muscle groups in isolation down here, so you can deal with the amount of stress is greater, although it's not on the higher end of the intensity spectrum.""The Importance of Variation in Strength Training": With the squat you'd use lots of variations, so you get total leg development and it's the same kind of principle. You get total development of all the muscles required to enhance your, in this case, bench press performance. On that isolated muscle side, you get this kind of every single muscle gets developed to its maximal ability or its maximal potential there in isolation. Then you start to strip away, don't you?Periodized Training: "Yeah, it would be the longest phase of all the phases. But within that so one of the key things for me within all...

This week on RfRx, Rob Palmer returns to discuss mass psychogenic illness. Have U.S. government employees in Havana and all around the world – even behind the White House gates – been attacked and injured over the past seven years by secret energy-weapons wielded by undiscovered assailants for political reasons? Have thousands of girls in their schools across Iran been poisoned this past year by their Islamic government as retribution for the mass anti-hijab protests? Did a 4-ft tall roller-skating Monkey Man with metal claws and glowing red eyes attack people throughout New Delhi causing injuries and deaths? Believe it or not, there is a connection between these seemingly unrelated headline-grabbing events. This presentation will examine a little recognized and less understood phenomenon that is likely the actual culprit in these and a myriad of similar events that have occurred throughout the world and throughout human history: Mass Psychogenic Illness.Rob Palmer is a retired aerospace engineer. He has been a spacecraft designer, spacecraft tester, computer programmer, and software systems engineer. Rob became a skeptical activist in 2016 upon joining the Guerrilla Skeptics on Wikipedia team, and in 2018 became a columnist for Skeptical Inquirer. To date he has had over 70 articles published by Skeptical Inquirer as well as in other publications, and the Wikipedia articles he's written have garnered over 13 million pageviews.Rob writes about contemporary skeptical issues, and has interviewed individuals as diverse as Neil deGrasse Tyson, Richard Dawkins, Penn Jillette, Ann Druyan (producer and writer for the modern Cosmos series), Dave Warnock (Of Dying Out Loud), Seth Andrews (host of The Thinking Atheist podcast), John de Lancie (Star Trek's Q), and even God - eh, Mr. Deity - himself. Rob is registered with the Center for Inquiry's Speakers Bureau, and has given presentations for various skeptic and humanist groups and conventions, including: We Can Reason, Dragon Con, and three times at CSICon (the annual science and skepticism conference in Las Vegas). He has been interviewed about these subjects on various podcasts and YouTube shows, including The Skeptic Zone, Big Picture Science, Be Rationable, The Phil Ferguson Show, Banachek's Brain, 502 Conversations, Point of Inquiry, The Thinking Atheist, and here for RfRx.All of Rob's skeptical work can be found at: https://linktr.ee/thewellknownskeptic.

This week on RfRx, Rob Palmer is returning to host Part II of the interactive logical fallacies trivia challenge. Bring your A-game and play trivia with us, or just come watch the show and hone your critical thinking skills. Why? Because recognizing these bad arguments can help you do two things: avoid being deceived by false claims made by others, and also stop using them yourself to justify questionable beliefs of your own. Rob will give a refresher on logical fallacies and then we'll play an interactive trivia game where those in attendance can play on teams trying to outdo their competition in describing and identifying Logical Fallacies! (Game-play participation is optional.) Rob Palmer has had a diverse aerospace engineering career, having worked as a spacecraft designer and tester, computer programmer, and software systems engineer. Rob began writing for Skeptical Inquirer in 2018 and has had over 60 articles published by Skeptical Inquirer and in other publications in 2 languages on 3 continents. Rob writes about contemporary skeptical issues and has interviewed individuals as diverse as scientists Neil deGrasse Tyson and Richard Dawkins, Ann Druyan (producer and writer for the modern Cosmos series), Seth Andrews (host of The Thinking Atheist podcast), and even John de Lancie (Star Trek‘s Q). Rob has also been a speaker for various skeptic and humanist groups, including here at Recovering from Religion. He has spoken at Dragon Con, and thrice at CSICon, (the annual science and skepticism conference in Las Vegas.) Topics have included critical thinking, psychics and mediums, and the international Wikipedia editing project he volunteers for. He has been interviewed about these subjects on various podcasts and YouTube shows, including The Skeptic Zone, Big Picture Science, Be Rationable, The Phil Ferguson Show, Banachek's Brain, 502 Conversations, and The Thinking Atheist.

This week we'll wrap up International Cave Diving Month with a discussion that centers around the death of iconic cave diver Rob Palmer, and the "chaos" that ensued from comments made by another iconic cave diver....good ol' GI III...

This was the epitome of the tech/cave diving community back in it's infancy, as well as that of the Internet, and it's role in the evolution of diving to arrive at where we are today.

This week on RfRx, Rob Palmer will be joining us to discuss psychic predictions. In 2021, The Skeptic Zone producer and CSI Fellow Richard Saunders completed his 12-year project dubbed the Great Australian Psychic Prediction Project (GAPPP) – an analysis of almost 4,000 published paranormal predictions made by over 200 people claiming paranormal powers in Australia. The scoring of the predictions was performed by an international team of volunteers of which Rob was a member. In this presentation, an expanded version of the talk to be given at CSICon 2022 in a few weeks, Rob will share details and the results of this unique investigation into the precision (or lack thereof) of the published predictions of prominent, public, paranormal practitioners. Rob Palmer has had a diverse career in engineering, having worked as a spacecraft designer, computer programmer, and software systems engineer. He began writing for Skeptical Inquirer in 2018, and to date has had 60 articles published by Skeptical Inquirer and other skeptic media (on three continents!). Rob writes about contemporary skeptical issues, and for his column he has interviewed individuals as diverse as astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, Penn Jillette (of Penn & Teller), John de Lancie (Star Trek's Q!), Thomas Westbrook (Holy Koolaid), Drew McCoy (The Genetically Modified Skeptic), and Seth Andrews. Rob is also a public speaker and has given talks for various skeptic and humanist groups, (including RfR). He has been a speaker at Dragon Con, and twice (so far) at CSICon, the annual conference of the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry. He has also been interviewed about his work on various podcasts and YouTube shows, including The Skeptic Zone, Big Picture Science, Banachek's Brain, and The Thinking Atheist.

Our brains evolved on the African savannah well enough to allow Homo Sapiens to survive in that harsh, unforgiving environment, and go on to populate the planet. But the thinking organ which developed to prevent our death at the hands of predators and the elements is far from perfect. We are primed to trust the opinions and anecdotes of those in our close circle, and the pronouncements of those in authority. We conclude that something is true based on inadequate personal experience, less-than-perfect memory, faulty logic, and a host of cognitive biases. These tendencies can lead us to believe in things which do not comport with reality, and often lead to bad decisions, and even harm. In this talk, Rob Palmer will discuss these topics from a skeptical perspective, because understanding our innate cognitive failings can help us all think more rationally, better avoid errors, and hopefully live better lives. Rob Palmer is a skeptical activist who works to educate the public about critical thinking by contributing to Wikipedia as part of The Guerrilla Skepticism on Wikipedia project (GSoW), and by writing for Skeptical Inquirer as The Well-Known Skeptic. His column covers contemporary skeptical issues, and he has interviewed conference speakers, podcasters, YouTubers, scientists, activists, and TV personalities as diverse as Cosmos producer/writer Ann Druyan, Thomas Westbrook (Holy Koolaid), Seth Andrews (The Thinking Atheist), and actor/activist John de Lance (Q of Star Trek).

A surprisingly high percent of people believe in "psychics" and "mediums" (those claiming to see the future & communicate with the dead). Unfortunately, having supernatural beliefs inherent in being religious influences people to believe this at a rate over 5 times higher than atheists do. This leaves them open to psychological and financial devastation at the hands of con-artists. In this talk, Rob will reveal how psychics and mediums manipulate people into believing they have special abilities (on TV and in person), and explain why science says that these paranormal claims are untrue. He will present details about believers defrauded of enormous sums (up to their entire life savings), and he will explain how the legal system is not on your side if you become a victim. Rob is a skeptical activist who writes for Skeptical Inquirer as The Well-Known Skeptic.

Rob runs a site called GoFreelance.com and if you need any tips about how to become a better journalist or how you too can travel while making a living, I highly recommend that you take some time to reach out to and speak with Rob.
