In this episode we’re joined by Bryan Clayton, Co-founder of GreenPal. GreenPal has been dubbed ‘Uber for lawn care’ by Entrepreneur magazine and currently boasts over 300,000 users, with ambitions to make that figure 1 million in the next 5 years.

Bryan joins us to share his lessons in building and growing GreenPal, as well as diving into the insights that helped him achieve a successful exit from his first business, Peachtree, in 2013.

• The concept of mentorship vs. asynchronous mentorship

• What’s not taught in business school?
