Mike Botkin - Central Florida Landscape M&A Playbook - Ep.88

<p>My guest in this episode is Mike Botkin. You might remember Mike from episode 48 where he described acquiring B&amp;B landscaping in Orlando, Florida with his investor equity raised entirely from Twitter.</p><p>Well, he&#39;s acquired a bigger one and has raised a holding company called Benchmark Group to buy and build a vertically integrated lawn care and landscaping business in central Florida. In addition to Mike&#39;s new acquisition and holding company, we also talk about systems and policies he&#39;s implemented at B&amp;B, how he hires and routines members of his team, and benefits from scale and vertical integration.</p><p>Mike has become a great friend of mine over the last year, and I always leave our calls thinking we should have hit a record. I&#39;m glad we were able to do so for this episode and mark this momentous event in his career. </p><p>Listen weekly and subscribe on <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/think-like-an-owner/id1445929750" rel="nofollow">iTunes</a>, <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/3Fbv9d4HpDwuO4MOPvgdvO" rel="nofollow">Spotify</a>, <a href="https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly90aGlua2xpa2Vvd25lcnMubGlic3luLmNvbS9yc3M=" rel="nofollow">Google Podcasts</a>, <a href="https://www.stitcher.com/show/think-like-an-owner" rel="nofollow">Stitcher</a>, <a href="https://www.breaker.audio/think-like-an-owner" rel="nofollow">Breaker,</a> and <a href="https://tunein.com/podcasts/Business--Economics-Podcasts/Think-Like-An-Owner-p1180625/" rel="nofollow">TuneIn</a>.</p><h3>Links Mentioned:</h3><ul><li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-botkin/" rel="nofollow">Mike Botkin on LinkedIn</a></li><li><a href="https://twitter.com/MikeBotkin_?s=20" rel="nofollow">Mike Botkin on Twitter</a></li><li><a href="https://benchmark-fl.com/" rel="nofollow">Benchmark Group</a></li><li><a href="https://www.alexbridgeman.com/podcasts/mike-botkin-first-30-days-in-a-small-landscaping-business-ep-48/" rel="nofollow">Think LIke An Owner Episode 48 (Mike Botkin - First 30 Days in a Sm
