In this episode of the Green Side Up Podcast, Jason calls in from the SkyFrog shop kitchen while cooking a 10‑gallon pot of jambalaya for the year‑end party, and Jordan shares how his team has tightened up operations with a four‑day workweek and a cleaner, better-organized shop. They talk about SkyFrog's employee skills challenge—mower races, weed eater and edger contests, and this year's backpack blower soccer—and how it boosts culture and retention. Jordan breaks down how he's using LiveSwitch and AI to turn quick video walkthroughs into written job scopes, crew orientation, and even palm fertilizer estimates, while Jason recaps turf results with MitoGrow, plans for new field trials, updates on the Landscape Rodeo date shift, and an upcoming MitoGrow video project. It's a tactical, real‑world look at using tech, culture, and systems to level up a green‑industry business.
