Kevin - Hardscape/Landscape Professional
Kevin began mowing lawns in 2000 as a side business in high school to support himself through college. He hung up hand-made signs in hair salons and the grocery store and ran ads in the local newspaper. The unfortunate part of this business idea was that he did not own a lawnmower. He borrowed a push mower from a family member and started out mowing. A few years later he saw an ad for a local mowing company for sale and he was able to make the purchase. Now, Kevin is the owner of a Landscaping company. This interview is a great snapshot of what really goes on in to making a business run and the countless hours, and years, it takes to be successful. There are a ton of kernels of advice in this from a guy who never gave up and made it work, thru work. Thanks Kevin! Kevin and Custom Creations 417 can be found HERE.

THE JOBS PODCAST
The Jobs Podcast provides a deeper dive into numerous aspects of all kinds of careers, the training needed to obtain certain jobs, the pros and cons of a job, pay scales, opportunities, etc. It also gives a glimpse into the lives of the everyday folks doing these jobs. Its tough sometimes to know if a career is a good fit for you based on a job board or school counselor. We attempt to give a more specific and helpful snapshot of a career from those who've been successful at it to help you, the listener, know if it's worth investigating that career further. We spend decades working and the choice of a career is more mystifying that it should be. So join us as we explore the people and the occupations that make the world go 'round.
