Episode notes
Pete Grandin has spent over 40 years building GrandScapes into one of Rhode Island's premier landscaping companies - and the last few years have looked completely different. In this episode, Pete breaks down how building a structured management team transformed not just his business, but his day-to-day life. From delegating his maintenance division to empowering a team that now holds its own weekly meetings without him, Pete's story is a blueprint for what's possible when you invest in the right people. If you're a trades owner still carrying everything yourself, this one is worth your time.
