In this episode of the Road to Growth podcast, we are pleased to introduce you to Steve Griggs. Not all landscape designers are created equal and Steve Griggsis living proof. For dirty jobs that require engineering, plant science, and innovation, he is the landscape architect to call. With decades of experience that span hundreds of homes, lots of spray cans and dozens of worn out boots, Steve is THE GUY when you want more than a pretty garden.
Steve is a creatively candid craftsmen who enjoys a good cigar and the media loves him. He’s a two-time recipient of the INC 5000 Award. He’s appeared on Bravo’s Backyard Envy, Good Morning LaLa Land, and Grant Cordone’s Power Players. Forbes, Huffington Post, and The Wall Street Journal have all featured him in their publication. That’s a long way from his humble beginning with nothing more than a wheelbarrow and hard work.
Steve is highly regarding in New York and surrounding states, but he’s spreading his wings to take on clients in other parts of the world. What keeps him in demand is that after damn near 40 years in the industry, he’s still creative and innovative. He knows that his clients deserve a space that suits their lifestyle. It’s no wonder he’s trusted and accepts the challenge to design for multi-million dollar home owners.
Always looking to add a personal touch, Steve’s portfolio includes hidden gems like a 1200lb moss covered boulder that reminds a client of his favorite fishing retreat. Then there’s the hand picked 25’ evergreens from South Caroline that turned good neighbors into great neighbors. Memories and privacy are just a sample of the innovative approach Steve Griggs provides.
As the bestselling author of “Straight Dirt: New York City’s Premier Designer Tells It Like It Is, Steve shares many captured landscaped memories. His book includes his creative candor on working with other landscape designers and contractors. And as if that weren’t enough, the clients who can’t say enough good things about working with him are featured in the book as well.

In this episode of the Road to Growth podcast, we are pleased to introduce you to Jeff Holman. Jeff , founder of Intellectual Strategies, is changing the way startups and scaling businesses access legal support. As the creator of the first Fractional Legal Team at Intellectual Strategies, he’s made it possible for companies to tap into expert legal advice at key points in their growth—without needing a full-time, in-house team. This innovative approach means businesses get exactly the help they need, when they need it, and without the hefty overhead, helping them navigate everything from early-stage challenges to high-stakes scaling decisions.
But Jeff’s expertise doesn’t stop there. He’s a multifaceted entrepreneur with degrees in electrical engineering, law, and an MBA, blending technical savvy with a sharp legal mind. Admitted to practice in California, Utah, and before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, he’s a true jack-of-all-trades—an inventor, a strategist, and an attorney who’s been tackling complex business and legal problems for over two decades.
With a unique ability to translate between technical and legal frameworks, Jeff’s work at Intellectual Strategies spans intellectual property, business strategy, and technology law. His Fractional Legal Team model is revolutionizing how companies access the legal support they need, empowering them to focus on what they do best while he handles the complexities in the background. Jeff’s commitment to innovative solutions has positioned Intellectual Strategies as a go-to resource for ambitious companies looking to thrive in today’s fast-paced business world.
