Josh shares the origins of his gardening business, which started as a hobby at age 10 and has grown to generate significant monthly revenue with 23 staff members.

He discusses potential strategies for overcoming challenges, such as changing suppliers or even starting to manufacture sheds himself. The conversation highlights the importance of managing a customer-focused gardening business while contemplating higher-entry barriers and the growth opportunities in related fields. Towards the end, they discuss Josh's goals and how he plans to tackle the obstacles ahead.
