Mike Andes visits Jack's struggling Pennsylvania landscaping company, which runs five trucks (four broken) on roughly $300,000 annual revenue. Jack can't afford repairs and morale is tanking. Mike warns that uncollected receivables could vanish before spring, the business's critical season.

Today we're in Pennsylvania with Jack from Jack Mack Landscaping. Did $300,000 in annual revenue. Not that I trust that number because he doesn't really know his numbers. However, he has five trucks. They're all broken down besides one, and he can't afford to fix it. Let's see if we can turn this thing around.
