White collar men love cutting their lawn! Is there any wonder why. The stress of knowledge work, never ending deadlines, and 10 PM emergency calls has driven them to seek solace in something simple.

Manual labor has a lot of physical benefits, but people rarely think of the mental benefits of doing a job or chore that you can see the tangible benefits from, right away.


Jeff and Randy discuss this newfound appreciation for things like mowing the lawn, that a lot of white collar men are enjoying, and how managers can make adjustments to their work environment and culture to better serve their people.
