<p>Episode 110 is in the books. Kyle's back and we cover a lot of ground, a truck written off by a mouse, men's mental health, the Waterloo Region water crisis, World Cup turf, and a lawn bylaw documentary that somehow won two awards.</p><p>June is Men's Mental Health Month and we thought it was worth an honest conversation. Not preachy, just two guys in the trades talking about what actually helps when the season gets heavy working out, eating right, calling a buddy. If you're going through it, you're not alone.</p><p>And on a cooler note.. the sod farm we source from is supplying grass for the World Cup. BMO Field ripped everything out for a $3 million install. Pretty cool to see our industry on that stage.</p><p>Thanks for tuning in 🤝</p><p><strong>Takeaways:</strong></p><ul><li>The mouse that wrote off the truck — and why even clutch-up energy has its limits</li><li>Men's Mental Health Month — real talk on what actually helps when things get heavy</li><li>The Waterloo Region water crisis and why showing up to the township meeting matters</li><li>World Cup turf — how our industry ended up on the biggest stage in soccer</li></ul><p><strong>Other Links:</strong><br>👨🌾 Stripe Life Canada: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/stripelifecanada/">@stripelifecanada</a><br>🅾️ Breiner Lawn: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/breinerlawn?igsh=bmlzcnZvMTBlamtr">@breinerlawn</a><br>👨💻 Episode Sponsor: Green Frog Web Design — <a href="https://greenfrogwebdesign.com/">greenfrogwebdesign.com</a></p>
