Welcome to the how of business with your host, Henry Lopez, the podcast that helps you start,

run and grow your small business. And now, here is your host. This is Henry Lopez. Welcome to

this episode of the how a business. My guest today is Brian Clayton. Brian, welcome to the show.

Henry, thanks for having me on. Great to be here. Yes, absolutely. Glad to have you on the show today.

Brian is going to share his entrepreneur journey, how he started, grew and sold his first long care business,

and how he's now connecting homeowners and long care service providers through

his new company and platform, GreenPal. To receive more information about the Howa Business,

including links to the show notes page and the schedule a free coaching consultation with me,

just text the word biz, B-I-Z to 31996.

So Brian Clayton is the CEO and co-founder of GreenPal,

an online marketplace that connects homeowners with lawn care professionals,

and we're going to chat all about how that works on this episode.

GreenPal has been called the Uber for Lawn Care by Entrepreneur Magazine and has over

100,000 active users completing thousands of transactions per day, meaning asking for their

lawns to be taken care of and service providers offering to do that.

And so it facilitates that whole transaction, as we'll talk about. Before starting

GreenPal, Brian Clayton founded Peachtree Incorporated, one of the largest landscaping companies in the

state of Tennessee, growing it to over $10 million a year in annual revenue before he sold it and

it was acquired by Lusa Holdings back in 2013.

Brian lives in National Tennessee.

So once again, Brian Clayton, welcome to the show.

Henry, thanks for having me on, man.
