March 18, 2024 062. Pride has been lost in our world. Lets fight to bring it back.
Nick and Kyle sit down and discuss pride and how without it we struggle as a society. Imagine a world where everyone just doesn't care. Things tend to not move forward, tasks don't get handled, life kind of just comes to a halt. If we as humans put pride in what we do whether that with what you do for a living or just yourself. It says volumes about your character. We take pride in our work at Dawson Manufacturing and in our daily lives outside of it. Doing it right the first time is always the best way.

March 15, 2024 061. Taking care of our people. Getting G&M Lawn and Landscape back in action.
Nick and Kyle welcome an in-house guest, Graham with G&M Lawn and Landscape. They had a self-inflicted problem with their MulchMate which resulted in a trip to our HQ. We learned about their story and their testimonial of their results with MulchMate, even we were astonished. A job that normally too 30 yards of mulch resulted in 15 yards of material used on the property!! That is Bonkers! See what else Graham has to say.

March 13, 2024 060. Welcome to the Circus, it's out to get you. FIGHT!
Nick and Kyle discuss an interesting topic. Life is a circus no doubt, the world is designed to tear you down, it's all about how you handle it and get back up. Nick while creating and building Dawson Mfg. handles the punches of life such as a fire marshal inspection and trying to make production difficult and more. Kyle balancing work at Dawson, a growing family and a landscaping company. Heck even other forces like the economy try to take us down like the global pandemic and or tires blowing out on trailers as we head to the largest event for the landscaping industry. Its all about how we handle the situation. Execute, execute, execute!

March 11, 2024 059. GATOR is in the house!
Nick invites his friend JD on to the podcast after stopping by the shop. They talk fun stories and their background on how they met. You'll love the stories they go into about their bachelors parties and Craig had to pop in and tell them to leave some parts because of how not kid friendly the stories are. Sit back and enjoy the ride.

Joe's discusses how easy the process is and some cool differences in their process when compared to other lenders that makes them the best fit for MulchMate.

March 04, 2024 056. Lean Mean Money Machine. Feat. Dave Cutter
Nick and Kyle sit down to talk to one of the early adopters of the MulchMate Dave Cutter. He is rocking a Gen 2 Machine on his truck unit and one of the earlier generations on a DMT unit him and his son use as well. While they only put down roughly 150 yards of mulch per year, this machine well pays for itself in efficiency as well as saving the way his body feels at the young age of 62 still in the field. From the solo entrepreneur to the multi state conglomerate, the MulchMate is right for you.

March 01, 2024 055. The power of saying NO/NOT YET is really a superpower.
Nick and Kyle discuss the power of saying no or not yet in business as a superpower. The old adage "you give an inch they will take a mile" is true in a lot of scenarios. Kyle one project costs him around $10,000 dollars just by telling the client yes, we can do that, when in reality saying no to the project in its entirety would have saved a lot of heart ache and issues. Nick discusses how saying not yet is beneficial too. By allowing yourself some time to process the information you have taken in and not making a decision immediately could potentially lead to a minor change in a gearing to provide immense torque in a product that once was not thought of.
