In this episode, Robin and Al interview entrepreneur Charlie Kerrigan, the founder of VIL Landscaping. Charlie recounts his journey from mowing lawns at 10 years of age to stepping off the conventional path and becoming the founder of a profitable landscaping business at just 14. He has since expanded it into a thriving enterprise with a team of 30 employees, emphasizing the importance of surrounding oneself with the right people, constantly learning, and setting high standards. Charlie's motivation comes from helping others, growing his team, and changing the perception of contractors in the industry. The conversation also touches on the significance of doing hard things together to build a strong team culture.
