In this episode of the Green Side Up podcast, Jordan and Jason talk with longtime friend Andrew "Duck Fisherman" Fucarino about his unusual path from family-owned compounding pharmacy to Business Development Manager for Independent Tree Service. Andrew shares how he helped build a niche, cash-pay compounding business (including custom dry eye drops from patients' own blood serum) that was eventually acquired, why burnout pushed him out of healthcare, and how he's now leveraging his Carrollwood network to open doors with HOAs, property managers, and commercial clients. They dig into what real business development looks like in tree care—education, relationships, understanding budgets, and not wasting time on bad-fit work—while mixing in stories about duck hunting, mini-retirement, and reinventing your career in your 40s.
