The LeanScaper Podcast

Most landscapers don't abandon social media because they're bad on camera, they quit at week three because nobody ever handed them a system.

Sebastian Lopez Fernandez, Co-Founder of Awake Abroad Media, has helped landscaping companies turn owner-led content into millions of views and real revenue and he breaks down exactly how.

For a $1M–$10M landscape business, an invisible owner is leaving trust, leads, and booked jobs on the table every single week.

IN THIS EPISODE:
- The three-pinned-post foundation — who you are, what you do, and client results — that converts visitors before you ever post a single reel.
- The "comment SPRING" funnel: how a ManyChat auto-DM hands over a lead magnet, captures the email, and tees up a follow-up call. Built once, then automated.
- The 7-11-4 trust rule and why five posts across five platforms equals 25 weekly exposure points working for you.
