SH: Hey everybody. It’s Scott Hollister, the editor in chief of Landscape Management magazine.
SJ: With Seth Jones, editorial director of Landscape Management. Oh, Scott. This is a busy day today. I tell you. Day two was crazy. I ran like crazy. I did two educational seminars. I just got out of the turning your B and C players into A players panel, I had Sam Gimbel, Steve Steele and Barrett Chow. They were incredible. That hour went so fast. And we also had a tech panel. I learned some stuff that I didn’t know about, about what the future the industry is coming along with. And then I had booth visits and I saw so much stuff. I went out and saw Steel Green. We stopped by Oregon. Just saw a bunch of activity out in the trade show floor. What was your day like?
SH: Yeah, very similar. I had two education sessions that I moderated panels on with Sam Gimbel was one. I did one on branding and marketing, and that was a packed room. Really great vibe. Mike McCarron was on that one, as well as Zach Smith with Long Line Marketing. They all did a great job just talking about how you can get your company, improve the branding, improve the marketing, and how it will benefit your business. Also did one on hiring and land in the landscaping industry, which was very well attended. Good stuff there. Our good friend Larry Ryan from Ryan Lawn and Tree was on that. Some unbelievable insights from him and the other panelists. And then, like you kind of running crazy, saw a bunch of stuff, cool robotic mower with attachments from Yarbo. We did Yanmar, spent some time with Bobcat. So ton of videos. Folks will be able to check those out in the weeks to come as we start rolling those off. But yeah, busy day.
SJ: Last thing, I want to give a shout out to the Senix for sponsoring the Trace Adkins concert tonight at the KFC YUM! Center and hooking us up with some VIP passes. Let’s go get our country on.
SH: Let’s go. Let’s rock out.
SJ: All right, see you guys next time.
SH: Thanks very much.
