From Landscaping to Tech: How Bryan Clayton Built a Multi-Million Dollar Business

From Lawn Mower to Millionaire: Bryan Clayton on Building the “Uber of Lawn Care”

Introduction:

What does it take to go from mowing lawns in your neighborhood to building a tech platform used by over 300,000 customers? In this episode of The KAJ Masterclass LIVE, Bryan Clayton, the CEO and co-founder of GreenPal, shares his journey from running a landscaping business to creating one of the most successful platforms in the home services space.

If you're an entrepreneur looking for real insights—not the usual fluff—this is the conversation you need to tune into.

Key Highlights from the Episode:

1. The Power of Starting Small Bryan began with a push mower and grit. He didn’t have venture capital or a tech background, but he did have a vision. His story proves that the size of your start doesn’t determine the size of your success.

2. Product-Market Fit Comes First He didn't build a “fancy app” first. He built something that solved a real problem for both homeowners and lawn care professionals. That clarity guided GreenPal to traction and scale.

3. Don’t Outsource the Soul of Your Business Bryan and his co-founders taught themselves how to code because they realized the danger of outsourcing their product too early. His approach offers a critical lesson for all tech entrepreneurs.

4. The Grit Behind the Glamour From being turned down by investors to writing content for SEO on weekends, Bryan shares the unsexy side of entrepreneurship that rarely makes it to the headlines—but always matters.

Why This Matters to You: Whether you’re a founder, consultant, author, or small business owner, this episode delivers raw, actionable advice that you can apply to your journey today. Bryan’s story isn’t about overnight success—it’s about consistency, resilience, and smart thinking.
