Leaving Corporate America: Jason Lewis on Building a Thriving Landscaping Business

Charge Forward Podcast

Ever wondered what it takes to leave the security of a stable corporate job and build a thriving business from the ground up?
In this insightful episode of the Charge Forward Podcast, we sit down with Jason Lewis, owner of LG Landscape and Services, to hear his incredible story of transformation from a 20-year career at Bell South and AT&T to full-time entrepreneurship in the landscaping industry.

Jason shares the moment he realized corporate life felt more like a prison sentence than a career and made the bold decision to pursue his passion. From starting small with just two employees to now managing multiple crews and trucks, Jason dives deep into the strategies that have fueled his steady growth—including leveraging business coaching, outsourcing administrative tasks, and maintaining strong client relationships.

We discuss the power of referrals, the importance of surrounding yourself with a great team, and how hiring a virtual assistant has allowed Jason to focus on growing his business. Jason also reflects on the role of physical fitness, discipline, and balancing entrepreneurship with fatherhood. His story is a testament to the value of hard work, faith, and the courage to take risks in pursuit of a better life.
What are you waiting on to start becoming who you are supposed to become?
