    This episode was somewhat self-indulgent. I responded to a cold call/email, a rare occurrence, and met berts_turf. It turned out he was a golfer and possibly had products suitable for the lawn care industry. Fast forward 18 months, and now some of Aspen Outdoors' products are integrated into the Stout Turf Care program. As a lawn care owner, I believe the golf market holds some hidden secrets. We also delve into automated mowers....Huh?
     
    Thanks, Al

    Episode 10 - John Perry (Greene County Fertilizer Company)

    After a bustling conference season, I had the pleasure of sitting down with John Perry, the Owner of Green County Fertilizer Company. Our conversation ranged from his beginnings in the green industry to his intriguing TV appearances, all the way to the humble origins and current success of GCF. It was truly inspiring to interview such a prominent figure in the industry. I hope everyone enjoys this episode as much as I did.
