What does it really look like to rebuild a business after early failure — and then grow it into something completely different than you originally imagined?

In this episode, I’m talking with Lindsay Scherr Burgess, founder of Green Wallscapes, a company creating preserved moss walls and plant installations for commercial and residential spaces across the U.S., Canada, and beyond.

Lindsay’s path is anything but linear. She’s worked in commercial real estate, construction, organic produce, and sales before a small side project with moss slowly turned into a full-scale business serving clients like Amazon, Hilton, Marriott, and Johnson & Johnson.

But what stood out most in this conversation isn’t just what she built — it’s how she built it, and what it’s required of her along the way.

We talk about:

• When a side project becomes something you can’t ignore anymore
• What actually changes when you move from “creative idea” to real operations
• Why scaling often reveals parts of your business you don’t want to own forever
• The tension between staying in your zone of genius and becoming the operator
• How I think about choosing coaches based on real business needs (not noise or hype)
• What it really means to carry responsibility for a growing team

This is a grounded conversation about what growth actually demands — not just in revenue or reach, but in clarity, decision-making, and the parts of the business you’re willing (or not willing) to own.
