EP55: Mentorship Moments in Our Careers With Landon Malave of LCM Landscapes

Everyone has someone who has opened a door or paved the path for them in their career. Eric has had the luxury of being on both sides of that coin. Eric's guest today is Landon Malave of LCM Landscapes, as well as Tyson. Throughout their careers, mentors in the landscape and construction industries have helped shape who Eric, Tyson, and Landon are today. They understand first-hand the importance of mentorship and what it means to craftsmen specifically!   Eric, Tyson, and Landon discuss: How Landon and Eric first became friends Breaking down the GFRC world Landon's mentor Rick had a lifetime of knowledge to offer The people that don't even see themselves as mentors A 'figure it out' approach taught Landon everything he needed to know Different mentors teach in different fashions Eric found hardcore mentors in the construction industry Tough love just doesn't fly with HR these days There are lessons to be learned when being yelled at The stuff that pisses journeymen off about hiring Things have changed in regard to leadership skills on a job site When an apprentice becomes a journeyman What happens when you have to mentor someone on the job Why people are reluctant to admit that they have a mentor The art of mentorship is dying in the United States Links to resources:   Landon Malave: Instagram   The Pond Digger   If you're looking for inspiration and tips for your pond, be sure to follow The Pond Digger's Instagram!   You can also check out The Pond Digger's products at: http://helixpondfiltration.com/   And follow his adventures in the pond world at: Instagram @theponddigger Facebook @theponddigger   If you have any questions, feel free to email Eric with the subject line "Persuasive Pond Design" at: [email protected]
