<p>In this Olympics-inspired episode, Jeffrey Scott draws powerful parallels between the 2026 Winter Olympics and running a high-performance landscape business, sharing 10 actionable lessons every CEO can apply right now. From Lindsey Vonn&#8217;s fearless leadership under injury to Italy&#8217;s surprising rise as a winter sports powerhouse, Jeffrey unpacks how Olympic principles — team synergy, real-time scoring, leaderboards, coaching from the sidelines, and relentless efficiency — translate directly into business wins. He challenges leaders to stop being player-coaches, start building client-facing cultures, obsess over margin efficiencies, and never stop tracking the competition, all in pursuit of building a business that performs like an Olympic team.</p> <p><strong>Sales Symposium &#8211; March 10th.
