The Backyard Empire Podcast is hosted by Josh Blakeley, founder of Landscape & Hardscape Contractor Marketing and author of the Backyard Empire book. Each episode is a working conversation with someone shaping the outdoor living industry: contractors who scaled, association leaders, software builders, and marketers who work inside the trade every day.
Recent guests include CLCA President Lindsay Ono, along with operators and founders covering software, social media, customer experience and outdoor design. The conversations stay practical: how guests built their businesses, what changed their lead flow, and what they would do differently.
Every episode is free on YouTube, no signup required. If you run a landscape, hardscape or outdoor living company, it is an easy way to hear how your peers are handling the same problems you face.
