What does it take to build a thriving business that runs like a well-oiled machine without losing sight of your people?

In this success story, we hear how one entrepreneur turned a one-man lawn care startup into a multi-location operation built on faith, family, and smart systems.

In this episode, Steve Burton sits down with Craig Zeigler, founder of Agronomic Lawn Management (ALM), a Virginia-based business that has grown steadily for more than 25 years by focusing on leadership, education, and trust.

• How a golf course setback sparked a new business idea

• The early grind, from flyers to long days and "working scared"

• Investing in growth and mentorship through strategic consulting

• How structure, process, and people fuel scalability

• Building culture, faith, and financial wisdom into the workplace
