In this special episode of The Green Grind, hosts Kory and LeRoy sit down with a very special guest—LeRoy’s wife, Kirstin Mains. Kirstin is more than just a partner at home—she’s the original brains behind Brilliant Borders Landscaping. From a bold decision to buy a weekend curbing business off a neighbor to growing it into a full-scale landscaping operation, Kirstin shares her unique entrepreneurial journey.

You’ll hear how she went from hands-on curb installation to managing crews, balancing family life, and stepping in and out of the business as it evolved. Kirstin opens up about working alongside her husband, the power struggles and personal growth that came with it, and how clearly defined roles—and a whole lot of grit—helped the company thrive.

This episode offers real insight into running a family business, navigating leadership as a couple, and what it truly takes to build something from the ground up. Whether you're a husband-wife team or just building your dream, this one’s packed with honest lessons and inspiration.
