Author: The Better Contractor

Tommy took the traditional path to college and built a six-figure career in pharmacy—but along the way, he realized his real passion was building THE Landscaping Company, a high-end, full-service landscaping business that has already grown to nine employees. Now, he’s preparing to leave pharmacy behind and go all-in on taking his company to the next level. Tommy and Brent dive into what it takes to make that jump, covering sales, marketing, business growth, leadership, and the lessons Brent has learned from building his own company. Tommy also shares how much he’s grown personally throughout college and how that growth has prepared him for this next chapter as an entrepreneur. With plans to expand further into tree work and begin learning the ROW industry, Tommy is just getting started.
