Elevating Careers In The Green Industry With Pam Berrios

Jack Jostes Episode 305

Pam Berrios has spent nearly three decades in the green industry—and she’s on a mission to elevate the people who power it. In this episode of The Landscaper’s Guide Podcast, Jack Jostes sits down with Pam to talk about career pathways, leadership development, and why investing in field-level team members is the single most important move landscape companies can make.

Pam shares her experience as a former landscape company owner, her work training Spanish-speaking crews across the country, and how leadership, language, and genuine care can transform hourly jobs into lifelong careers. They also discuss how AI and translation tools are beginning to bridge communication gaps—without replacing the human relationships that truly drive retention and growth.


You’ll Learn

  • Why many field employees don’t see landscaping as a long-term career—and how to change that
  • How leadership training can prevent new managers from failing after promotion
  • Ways AI and translation tools are helping connect crews and managers
  • Why relationship-building matters more than technology as companies scale
  • How representation and mentorship elevate the entire industry
