Bryan Clayton is the Co-Founder and CEO of GreenPal, an online marketplace that connects homeowners with local lawn care professionals. 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.
Before starting GreenPal, Bryan Clayton founded Peachtree Inc., one of the largest landscaping companies in the state of Tennessee, growing it to over $10 million a year in annual revenue before it was acquired by Lusa holdings in 2013.
On this episode of the Learn To Lead podcast, we discussed Bryan’s journey into the tech world, what he’s learned about running a rapidly growing company, being in it for the long haul, and “letting the work speak for itself.” Bryan also shared some book recommendations and explained why as the CEO he still spends an hour or two doing direct customer support daily.
