There’s a whole segment of YouTube videos of Lawn care guys who seek out the worst properties they can find, and offer to do them for free. They get paid from YouTube views. I love hard work, and I can watch it all day long. Watching the transformations is relaxing.
Are there any other business models which are closer to win win than this?
I watch those too! I like “Fill’s Lawn Care” videos. He finds some truly overgrown, almost buried properties and digs, trims, hedges and mows them into a state of cleanliness. It’s a good thing to see.
I also like to watch the owners of udon noodle cafes in Japan and how hard they work setting up for the lunch rush. They make the dashi stock, roll out and cut the noodles, cook off the meat toppings, get the onions chopped, make tamago omelettes, etc., etc. When the customers start to come in, they’re all ready for them and can start assembling the udon bowls quickly and efficiently. Don’t watch these unless you plan on becoming hungry for a bowl of good homemade udon.
As lawn lovers you may be amused by this exchange on the Graham Norton show as Ed Sheeran shows off his carpentry skills.
