Welcome back to The Beer Garden! After a well-earned holiday break (and maybe one too many seasonal beers), we’re kicking off 2025 with our Annual State of the Industry episode. We’re diving into Lawn & Landscape Magazine’s industry report to see what’s sprouting, what’s wilting, and what’s straight-up getting overrun by weeds this year.
What’s Inside:
🍻 Industry Confidence – Are contractors feeling bullish about 2025, or are they stockpiling trimmer line and hoping for the best?
📈 Growth Opportunities & Risks – Where should you focus your energy this year? And what’s lurking in the bushes waiting to trip you up?
💰 Most Profitable Revenue Streams – What’s bringing in the most green? We’ll break down where the big money is in the industry.
🔮 Predictions for 2025 – Will robots finally mow lawns for us? Will a new fad sweep the industry? We take a look at what’s coming next.
We’re here to give you the facts, the trends, and maybe even a few hot takes about what’s ahead in 2025. So grab a drink, settle in, and let’s talk shop!

The Male Room with Dr. Jesse Mills
As Director of The Men’s Clinic at UCLA, Dr. Jesse Mills has spent his career helping men understand their bodies, their hormones, and their health. Now he’s bringing that expertise to The Male Room — a podcast where data-driven medicine meets common sense. Each episode separates fact from hype, science from snake oil, and gives men the tools to live longer, stronger, and happier lives. With candor, humor, and real-world experience from the exam room and the operating room, Dr. Mills breaks down the latest health headlines, dissects trends, and explains what actually works — and what doesn’t. Smart, straightforward, and entertaining, The Male Room is the show that helps men take charge of their health without the jargon.
