Phil Scardingo is the son of an Italian migrant to South Australia. He was educated as a teacher but after working in the family business early on decided he loved it and hasn't left.  Phil has been running the family business since the 90s and has experienced the challenges of 'the recession we had to have' along with the GFC and the standard trials of business.   Phil now heads up Gripset, Monsta and Axis and has no plans of slowing down in any way.   Clint found plenty of parallels with Phil and this definitely won't be the last time you see these two together.   You can find out more about Phil by checking out the links below:   Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/GripsetIndustries/ Twitter | https://twitter.com/phil_scardigno/ Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/phil_scar/ LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/phil-scardigno-47844743/ Websites:  https://axismanufacture.com  https://gripset.com  https://monstashop.com

It's not often we get a chance to record a podcast twice!  Today Clint sat down with Lee from Lee Gray Landscape Design. Lee fell in love with gardens at a very early age.  Her grandparents had a large production garden which she spent plenty of time in as a youth. After attending Urrbrae Agricultural School Lee went straight into the industry and after working in the retail, construction and maintenance side of the landscape industry she finds herself in her happy place, running her own Landscape Design business.   This is quite a practical podcast and a great watch for anyone that's in the Landscape design industry or even for anyone looking for a career in Landscape Design.

One of the great things about recording a podcast is getting to know someone you think you know well so much better.  Craig and Clint have been doing business for over a decades but this is the first time they've had a deep conversation.   Craig started his career as an early childhood educator before walking out mid shift with no real plan. After a short stint managing a record store he found his true love. Landscape gardening.    This podcast gives great insight on what its like to run a garden maintenance company in Adelaide.   To find out more about what Craig's up to check out his Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/hedgehogsgardens/    ..........................................................................................................   Find us on:  Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/waterproau  Twitter | https://www.twitter.com/waterproau Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/waterproau  LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/company/wat

On this episode of The Full Landscape, Clint has a chat with D'Artagnan Mac, CEO of The Paint & Render Co. As tradespeople, many of you go through the same pitfalls and so we thought it would be a great idea to get an outside perspective from D'Artagnan, as someone who is in a different trade to the landscaping industry. D'Artagnan goes into detail about the systems that he's set up to help tradies turn their services into easily digestible packages. He also shares a bit of his story and his journey towards turning The Paint & Render Co. into a huge franchise.

After podcasting with Clint back in episode #11, Carl Heyne wanted the opportunity to throw it back Clint's way with some questions of his own.

No doubt part 2 and part 3 will have to come sometime in the future!
