"There's Enough Work for Everybody" — Jeremy & Nicole King of Olive Branch on Collaboration, Rest, and Redefining Success
What happens when you sell everything, move your family across the country in seven days, and start over in a place you barely know?
In this episode of LevelUp Russellville, we sit down with Jeremy and Nicole King from Olive Branch, a landscaping company based in Conway, Arkansas. Originally from Northern California, they made the leap to Arkansas before their oldest started kindergarten—and they haven’t looked back.
But this isn’t just a story about changing zip codes. It’s about changing how you think about success, competition, and what it really means to build something that matters.
Jeremy shares a refreshingly honest take on the landscaping industry: instead of undercutting competitors, what if businesses actually talked to each other? What if there really is enough work for everyone? We dig into their philosophy of collaboration over competition, how they’ve redefined success from dollars to impact, and why they believe in giving people second chances.
Nicole opens up about work-life balance as entrepreneurs and parents—and how a business coach helped them create boundaries that actually made them more productive. We also get into managing employees without micromanaging, the “80 ways to do something” principle, and what it means to choose love over fear in every business decision.
Whether you’re running a business, thinking about starting one, or just curious about what makes local entrepreneurs tick, this one’s worth your time.

The Two Most Powerful Words | Thanksgiving 2025
It’s the day before Thanksgiving 2025, and I’ve got something on my mind.
We hear a lot about being thankful for what we have—but what about being thankful for who we are? In this episode, I dig into why the words “I am” might be the most powerful words in the English language, and how what we tell ourselves shapes everything.
I also get real about a recent conversation I had with Jacob Stanford of Ramhorn Films—one of the best outdoor videographers in the state—and how that coffee meeting gave me unexpected clarity about what we’re actually building here.
Spoiler: we’re not a media company. We’re a tech company on a mission to build tools that actually serve our communities. And I’ve never been more certain about that.
Happy Thanksgiving, y’all. Find something to be thankful for—and make it about who you are.

From Rock Bottom to Zero Call-Ins: Terrence Hall
What does it take to build a team so loyal that nobody calls in sick for an entire year? Terrence Hall, founder of Daisy Lawn Care, figured it out—and his journey from being undervalued at $8/hour to creating one of Russellville’s most dedicated crews is a masterclass in leadership done right.
In this conversation, Terrence opens up about:
His wake-up call working for a boss who showed zero appreciation
Why he puts his employees first (yes, before customers)
The power of empowerment over micromanagement
Growing from solo operation to a thriving team without losing culture
His path from addiction to redemption through faith and hard work
Balancing the addiction to work with family time
The story of Job and how faith guides his business decisions
This isn’t just a business success story. It’s about what happens when someone decides to lead the way they wish they’d been led—and how that creates a ripple effect throughout our entire community.
