The Lawn Care CEO
He Had 1,900 Five-Star Reviews and Almost Quit. Here's Why.
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
You can hit $2M in revenue, collect 1,900 five-star reviews, and still be one resignation away from watching it all fall apart. That's not a hypothetical. That's Kyle Flanagan's story.
Kyle built Lawn Ace in Augusta, Georgia into a multimillion-dollar fertilization and weed control company. Great brand. Loyal clients. Strong team — until the ops leader who held everything together walked out after 13 years. Suddenly Kyle was back in the weeds, burning out, and asking himself if it was time to exit.
In this episode, we trace his full journey — $9/hour spray tech to franchise owner to starting over at zero in 2019 — and what finally changed when he stopped building around people and started building around seats.
The finish line isn't revenue. Go do more good.
