Ready to stop clinging to the pool railing and actually swim? We sit down with serial entrepreneur Ryan Hare, owner of John Franklin Landscapes in North Georgia, to strip away the myths around business ownership and show what it really takes to build something that lasts. From kitchen-table roofing estimates with his grandfather to design-build projects that turn blank yards into outdoor sanctuaries, Ryan shares why jumping all in beats playing it safe—and how “job security” can be a mirage when you’re not in control.

If this fired you up, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs the push, and leave a quick review so more builders can find us.

And if you’re local and want to talk shop or start a project, visit JohnFranklinlandscapes.com - he'd love to help.

Ready to stop daydreaming and start building? Kevin Fedor, Founder & Digital Marketing Strategist at Follow Spike, and I dig into the real tradeoffs behind side hustles, full-time leaps, and why validation on nights and weekends rarely scales unless you design for it. With marketing operator and agency leader Kevin Fedor, we unpack how to test offers fast, keep costs low, and decide when traction justifies quitting your job. If you’ve been hiding behind plans and perfection, this conversation gives you a practical path to your first paying customer.

If you’re on the fence, start small and public: pitch a pilot, frame your first dollar, and learn in the market. Subscribe for more candid playbooks on small business growth, share this with a friend who needs the push, and leave a review to tell us what you’ll test this week.
