Brandon breaks down the decision that nearly cost him everything, why he ditched a red-ocean landscaping business for turf's blue ocean, and the franchise blueprint he's using to hand independent contractors a shot at the same success. A kid who grew up watching his family deal drugs is now running a multimillion-dollar company — proof that where you start has nothing to do with where you end up. 🔗 Connect with Brandon Personal IG: https://www.instagram.com/thatbeaconguy Business IG: https://www.instagram.com/beaconturf Website: https://www.beaconturf.com Watch the full-length video version of any Dropping Bombs episode here on YouTube.
