What does “Lean” really mean - and why should every landscaper care? In this episode, Benji sits down with Tom Hughes to unpack the origins of Lean thinking, straight from Toyota’s post-WWII survival mode to today’s jobsite inefficiencies.
You’ll learn:
-Why Lean was born from desperation, not inspiration
-The 7+2 types of waste every business leader should be targeting
-How landscapers lose time (and money) without realizing it
-Why focusing on the 98% of waste - not the 2% of value - is the secret to scale
From hanging a picture to running a multi-million dollar crew, this episode shows why most of what you think is productive… isn’t.
Favourite moment: “Comfort is the enemy of innovation.”
You don’t need to make your good stuff better - you need to kill your waste. Period.
