In This Episode

Personal planning before strategic planning

Justin explains why personal clarity must come before company planning. When leaders feel off balance in their own life, their teams feel it too.

Three personal planning focus areas for 2026

Justin walks through the three areas he focused on this week
• Pre death planning and making sure your family is protected
• A simple money system for 2026
• Building a digital calendar with non negotiables for the year

The technology leap at K and D

Justin introduces a new role inside K and D: the Coordinator of Technology and Innovation. He explains why the company is going all in on tech and how this shift plays into the long term plan of becoming a technology company that happens to do landscaping.

Financial systems for long term wealth

Justin shares the three part money framework he learned from mentor Matt Garrett
• Spend less than you make
• Hold three months of cash on hand
• Invest the rest in simple, diversified tools like S and P index funds
He also covers 401k matches, Roth IRAs, and the power of dollar cost averaging.

Event updates and travel schedule

• Futurescapes USA in Los Angeles
• Iritech irrigation mastermind
• Leanscaper Revenue Intensive
• Synked Live in New Orleans

The path forward into 2026

Justin previews the launch of the Disruptor Insider newsletter and upcoming guest episodes with leaders like Mark Pyrrah and Nick Bartolo.

Takeaways

• Personal clarity makes you a stronger leader

• Technology adoption is becoming a competitive advantage
• Simple money systems create long term stability
• Planning 2026 begins with organizing your life, your calendar, and your financial structure
• Your team performs better when you lead from confidence rather than chaos
