Ring The Bell Spotlight
Because 300 Episodes Isn’t an Accident
Normally, we ring the bell for our clients. This time, we’re ringing it for ourselves. Ramblin Jackson just hit a milestone we’re proud of: 300 podcast episodes. And while that number looks impressive on paper, the real story isn’t the episode count. It’s what the past five years taught us about how digital growth actually works, especially for landscape business owners. Here’s what most people don’t want to hear: Building a real digital presence takes time. Not weeks. Not months. Years. When our CEO, Jack, first started the podcast, there was no studio, no fancy lighting, and no polished production. It was recorded in a shed with an iPhone and a $20
microphone from Amazon. In the summer, it was hot. In the winter, it was freezing. And yes, there’s photo proof of Jack wearing a sport coat to make it look more legit than it was. But we hit record anyway. Fast-forward five years. That same podcast has now passed 75,000 downloads , is one of the top 25% of all Buzzsprout podcasts, and has opened doors we never imagined back then! In January, we spoke at a landscape event in Cancun. Cape Cod followed. Next up: Amelia Island, Florida. None of that was even on the radar when episode one went live. And that’s the point. Contractors often underestimate the time it takes for digital momentum to build, assuming everything is “online.” They assume it should happen overnight. Reviews. Social media. Email lists. Authority. Reputation. It doesn’t work like that. Digital doesn’t mean instant, but it means scalable over time.
kept showing up. We got better. The gear improved. The message sharpened. The audience grew. And eventually, the results showed up in ways that compounded. This is the same lesson we preach to landscape business owners every day. You don’t need a studio. You don’t need perfect branding. You don’t need to wait until things feel “ready.” You need to start. Here’s our challenge to you: one social media video per week for one year. That’s it. No overthinking. No perfection. Just consistency. Do that, and you won’t recognize yourself or your confidence 12 months from now.
The podcast didn’t pay off in its first year. Or year two. Or even year three. But we
Five years from now? You’ll be ringing your own bell and glad that you got started today.
At Ramblin Jackson, we don’t just talk about core values; we reward them. That’s exactly why the Beef Jerky Club exists. It’s our way of recognizing the people who show up, do the right thing, and make this company better every single week. Here’s how it works. Ramblers can nominate a teammate for living out one of our core values. Every month, one of those nominations turns into a real reward, not a pizza party or a pat on the back, but legitimate prizes. We’re talking AirPods, Visa gift cards, and a prize board you actually want to win. But the real prize comes at the end of the year. The team member with the most nominations earns a $1,000 cash bonus, no strings attached. On top of that, the top nominator gets to direct a donation to the nonprofit of their choice, because doing good should ripple outward. We’re excited to announce the 2025 Beef Jerky Club winner: Client Fulfillment Lead Rebecca Lorenzen! This award represents consistency, integrity, and leadership earned the hard way, through daily actions, not empty words. Why We Pay People to Live Our Values
CASH, RESPECT, AND ACCOUNTABILITY ALL IN ONE AWARD
This is how we build culture that lasts. We notice effort. We reward values. And we celebrate wins loudly.
