After decades in the corporate grind, Nathan swapped performance reviews for pruning shears and hasn’t looked back.

In this episode of More Than Mowing, he shares how he went from Telstra management to running a thriving Jim’s Mowing business in South Australia all while raising three kids, keeping his music dreams alive, and building a five-star reputation.

From time-saving hacks and customer service gold to insights on personal growth and smart tech tools, this episode is a must-watch for anyone considering a life change.
