How You Do Anything Is How You Do Everything with Tony Tressel | Episode 24
In Episode 24, we sit down with Tony Tressel, an arborist, trainer, author, veteran and cohost of the Tree Action Podcast. Tony shares his journey from military service and studying philosophy to building a lifelong career in arboriculture. We get into the importance of truly listening, setting clear expectations, creating nonnegotiable safety standards and knowing when someone is no longer the right fit for your team. We also discuss leadership, creativity, mentorship, tree climbing competitions and the experiences that shaped Tony’s approach to work and life. This conversation is packed with practical lessons for anyone looking to become a stronger leader, a better communicator and a more intentional professional.

In Episode 23, Glenn Riggs joins the podcast for a raw, funny, and honest conversation about growing up in the tree industry, learning the hard way, and helping shape the craft long before social media made everything visible. From climbing in the late 70s, working under old-school standards, innovating rigging techniques, competing in tree climbing, crane work, family legacy, and mentoring the next generation, Glenn brings the kind of stories that only come from actually living it. This episode is about grit, connection, thick skin, loss, growth, and the roots of an industry built by people who figured it out in real time.

Episode 21: Meaning, Mentorship, and the Work That Keeps Us Going
In this episode of The Aging Arborist Podcast, Paul and Brick sit down with Joe for a conversation that goes far beyond tree care. The episode opens with an important discussion on Lyme disease in the arborist industry, especially for those working outdoors on the East Coast. From there, the conversation moves into Joe’s work at Meadow Lakes, the responsibility of caring for historic trees, the value of community, and what it means to lead with purpose in arboriculture. This episode touches on mentorship, gratitude, work ethic, New Jersey’s arborist standards, and the deeper meaning behind showing up every day for the people, trees, and industry you care about. A powerful conversation for arborists, tree care professionals, and anyone who believes this work is about more than just the job.
