Weekly Update #29: AI Agents, Revenue Growth, and the 2026 Game Plan


Listen Later

On this Weekly Update on Trades Talk, Justin White breaks down how K&D is planning for 2026, and why he believes AI agents will soon change everything about how landscaping companies sell, fulfill, and scale.

He shares insights from a two-day strategy session, his investment lens on early-stage AI companies, and answers hot-seat questions on revenue growth and hiring from Brian Fullerton’s peer group. It’s tactical, future-focused, and packed with real lessons from the front lines of building a billion-dollar business.

  • How AI agents will reshape sales and proposals in the trades

  • The four-part strategic planning framework K&D is using for 2026

  • A three-part system for scaling revenue beyond the owner

  • Why structured hiring beats gut instinct every time

  • Why now is the perfect time to lean into AI, even if it’s still early

    If you're serious about growth, tech adoption, or building a team that lasts, this one’s a blueprint.
