    Ep 375. Every Season Brings a New Challenge!
    8 Oct 2026

    I'm sharing updates from Coastal Fertilization, our North Jersey expansion, and what's happening at ROPED as Equip Expo gets closer. Then I get into a lesson every business owner learns: each season brings a new challenge. When things are going well, enjoy the momentum, but stay grounded and keep looking ahead. When things go sideways, don't let one tough stretch convince you everything is falling apart. The next season is always coming.

    Ep 374. Robotic Mowing Is Growing Up: What Happens After the Demo?
    1 Oct 2026

    Robotic mowing is about more than watching a machine cut grass. Mike shares a ROPED update and talks about choosing the right property, bringing the crew into the process, planning for setup and service, and measuring whether robotics is actually helping the operation. The demo is just the beginning. The real work is making the technology fit the job.

    Ep 373. Is That New Equipment Worth It? Do the Math Before You Buy
    29 Sep 2026

    Before you buy that mower, truck, aerator, or new piece of battery equipment, make sure it can earn its place in your business. Mike breaks down how to identify the problem you're solving, calculate the full cost, estimate labor savings and added profit, and compare buying with renting or buying used. A practical solo episode to help you make your next equipment decision with confidence.
