About This Podcast
The LowDowns is a turf industry podcast done in a different way. It features some of the typical conversations, but it will will also feature subjects like leadership, efficiency, education, and many other aspects of the industry. We will get to know who that person is and why their traits make them successful. We will also have some fun with my dry wit and some Q&A games while doing it. REAL INSIGHTS. REAL OPINIONS. REAL CONVERSATIONS.
