You’re paying $35 an hour—and guys still don’t show up. Sound familiar? In this episode, Scott unpacks a heated Facebook discussion where landscapers vented about the worker shortage—and shared what’s actually working to keep crews together.


You’ll learn:


✅ Why paying more isn’t enough to fix turnover


✅ Simple ways to build loyalty (without spending a fortune)


✅ Coaching tips for hiring slow, onboarding right, and checking in often


✅ The “employee” you can add who never quits, never calls in sick, and works 24/7


If you’re burned out from the revolving door of employees, this episode gives you practical steps to steady your crew—and your business.
