Ever notice how the people and opportunities in your life reflect who you are?

In this week’s episode, Dale and Brian unpack a simple but powerful truth their dad believed—like draws like. It started with a hand-painted “For Sale” sign, but over the years, they’ve seen how this principle applies to business, relationships, and life.

From attracting customers to hiring employees, we don’t just choose the people around us—who we are determines who shows up. If we want strong, trustworthy connections, we have to embody those traits ourselves.

Tune in as Dale and Brian share personal stories and insights that will challenge you to think about what (and who) you’re attracting into your life.

Episode Highlights:

The story behind the axiom.
The law of attraction.
Opportunities & connections abound.

S4 E3: Make Hard Work Fun Mar 17, 2025

Show notes

In this episode, Dale and Brian dive into the axiom: Make hard work fun. They talk about how making work enjoyable is key to staying motivated and avoiding burnout. When you find ways to enjoy what you're doing, it’s easier to keep going, push through challenges, and come out on top.

Dale and Brian break down why it’s all about balance. Hard work and no fun is drudgery. All fun and no work is a vacation. If you can find a way to combine the two, that’s the sweet spot.

They also open up about how, when building ForeverLawn, they made sure to create a workplace that didn’t just feel like a job—it was a place they actually wanted to be. And of course, they stayed committed to working hard to make it all happen.

Tune in for some real talk on why work can—and should—be fun if you want to keep going the distance!

Episode Highlights:

Having fun while working.
Creating a work environment we wanted to be in.
Competition can be fun.

We’re taking another trip back in time with this From the Archives episode, revisiting a conversation that shaped the future of ForeverLawn.

What would your past self from ten years ago think if they could see where you are today? Would they be proud—or would their limited perspective skew what they see?

In this episode, Dale and Brian reflect on an unexpected encounter with Placitas Man, whose simple but powerful advice challenged them to press on, work hard, and not look back. At the time, they could hardly imagine employing more than ten people—but his words carried them through the “messy middle” of entrepreneurship.

Now, 20 years later, they look back to see if his wisdom held true—and how it might apply to your own journey.

Episode Highlights:

Dale & Brian move back to Ohio.
Noticing dominant businesses in the community.
People will always overestimate or underestimate you.

From the Archives: Some stories are worth revisiting, and this is one of them.

In this special throwback episode, Dale and Brian are looking back at a conversation that still resonates today. If you've ever found yourself stuck in a "what if" moment, wondering what could be on the other side of taking a leap, this episode is for you.

Have you ever wrestled with “what if?” What did you do with it?

Maybe it’s that big business idea, the potentially life-changing invention, or a major career shift. What thought rattling through your mind keeps you asking, “what if?”

On today’s episode, Dale and Brian share how a casual email between them sparked a “what if,” and quickly transformed into the journey of their lives.

Had they only wrestled with their big idea and not taken any steps forward, their lives today would look drastically different. They would have missed out on all the possibilities beyond the “what if.”

The key? They had the willingness to say “yes,” before having all the answers.

Today, visualize your own “what if.” Wrestling and exploring help, but you’ll never know what opportunities lie on the other side without taking steps forward. So, what’s holding you back?

Whatever it is keeping your dreams at bay and stopping you from taking steps forward, recognize on the other side a different life may be waiting.

It’s time to step into your “what if.”

Episode Highlights:

Questions prompted by the email and the phone call to Astro Lawn.
Seeing through the lens of opportunity.
A new idea and the trip to New York.
Visiting the first Astro Lawn dealer in Phoenix.
Vision, the ability to see what could be, and the importance of stepping out on faith.
