In this episode, Matt and Sam are joined by Tom Reber to discuss the traits and strengths it takes to be a successful contractor. 

It's an issue that Matt sees plaguing far too many start-up landscape companies (or just small businesses in general) that choose to dictate their success based on their recognition and job payments from out-of-state work. Looking more for clout and quick income than really planning out what it takes to land those jobs; in this episode, he's joined by Sam once again as they discuss the logistics of working out of your area of business as Hiner prepares for a new water feature job several hours away from our headquarters.

Conferences are events that only come along a few times a year, and most of them cost a pretty penny in admission, lodging and time; so how exactly do you take advantage of these conferences? They're a wonderful opportunity to network, learn new skills and make meaningful connections that can last your entire career.

Matt and Sam deconstruct the issues of being an introvert in the professional world and tie it all into the topic of attending conferences and taking advantage of the time you have.

A well-known and avid enthusiast of the landscape photography world, Chris walks Matt and Sam through the journey that he took in order to become a well-known landscape photographer! 

Weston is a pretty well known guy around these parts. The creator of Synced Up, but he obviously had a different path to success than we had, and in this podcast we talk about how he got to where he was and how it relates to the paths that Sam and Matt took!

Matt and Sam discuss the processes that Matt underwent when hiring his first ever employee and the lessons that he carried forward into the coming years of team growth for Hiner.

Matt and Sam return this week to discuss an ongoing issue within Hiner this last week; theft of property. But not of the physical kind, more of the creative kind... And how exactly do you go about fixing that?

Most companies these days have a set of core values for their business executions. This isn't anything new and it's a relatively tried and true methodology on how to direct a workforce's efforts, but at Hiner we took it a step further with our core values. So in this episode, Matt and Sam discuss what those Core Values mean for them and for those that work with Hiner.
