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.
