Beyond the Backyard: Brandon Glover’s Journey from Medical School to Multimillion-Dollar Landscapes - Mastering Upscale Projects & Pool Installations- MDL episode 281

Choosing a career as a  landscaping business owner over going to medical school might sound like a crazy decision. But while medical school may offer a path toward helping people in a more direct and clinical way, for someone with a passion for the outdoors and a love for transforming spaces a landscaping career might be the best way to contribute to the community. Ultimately, opting for a landscaping business career reflects a different kind of healing—one that involves nurturing the natural world, enhancing the beauty and functionality of outdoor spaces, and fostering a sense of well-being through the transformative power of natural design.
On this weeks show, Scott talks to Brandon Glover about saying "No" to medical school in order to pursue a career in landscaping.
