    &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Chris Ciccone&lt;/b&gt; joins the &lt;b&gt;Turf Nerds &lt;/b&gt;podcast to encourage lawn care and landscaping operators before the busy season begins.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;With a background in the United States Marines and a career built around service and leadership, Chris shares powerful lessons on discipline, accountability, habits, and what it means to “do the right things for the right reasons.”&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We connect those principles directly to the lawn care industry, covering how to stay steady during long days, avoid burnout, lead your crew well, and build a business that actually serves your customers.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Chris also shares the mission behind the &lt;a href="https://notsospecialpodcast.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Not So Special (forces) Podcast&lt;/a&gt; and the &lt;a href="https://notsospecialpodcast.com/be-part-of-the-impact" target="_blank"&gt;Miles Gregarius Foundation&lt;/a&gt;, focused on supporting veterans and preserving their stories.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you’re gearing up for the mowing season, this is the mindset you need.&lt;/p&gt;
