The Rootzone Podcast is hosted by Chris Stoudt, owner of Stout Lawn and Pest, and it’s about the real side of running a service business.
Chris talks with owners, decision-makers, and skilled operators across the service industry—from lawn care and pest control to restaurants and trades—about what actually happens behind the scenes. The wins, the losses, the long days, the bad calls, the people decisions, and the pressure that comes with building something from the ground up.
There are no highlight reels here. Just honest conversations about leadership, marketing, hiring, mistakes, and learning how to build a team that doesn’t fall apart when things get hard.
If you work in the service industry and you’re in the trenches trying to grow a business that lasts, this podcast is for you.

When I sat down with Chris, I knew we were going to get some great information, but this podcast was so much more. Chris and I really got into the nuts and bolts of owning and operating a small business.
Chris, a recognized NALP Trailblazer and co-founder of Teed & Brown, Inc., shares his journey from the early decisions that led him to start Teed & Brown in 1995, to the pivotal branding change in 2004. We talk about what drove him to the lawn care side of the industry and how he has navigated the challenges and opportunities along the way. We also explore what Chris is doing now and what he has in store for Teed & Brown in the next few years.
