What happens when your grandfather bets everything on drilling water in the desert—and wins?
You get a family business built on grit, word-of-mouth, and the promise that your product actually works.
But for Landon Turner, it was never enough to be just the boss’s kid. He knew he’d have to prove he could carry the business forward on his own terms—and earn the respect that doesn’t come with a last name.
In this episode of Young Boss, Landon shares how his dad started their fertilizer company with just $800, two kids to feed, and nothing but a borrowed truck.
Thirty years later, they’re debt-free, trusted by farmers across 12 states, and redefining what a small ag business can be.
Landon opens up about what it’s really like to grow up in a family business: proving you deserve your seat at the table, wearing every hat in the company, and risking everything to modernize an old-school industry.
You’ll hear why scaling in agriculture takes a year-long sales cycle, why your word is worth more than any contract—and how launching a new Home & Garden line is Landon’s way of leaving his mark on a legacy built before he was born.
If you’ve ever wondered how to grow slow, stay debt-free, and still dream bigger, this story will inspire you to bet on yourself—just like Landon’s grandfather did all those years ago.
Tune in. This is entrepreneurship without the filters.
