Spencer is a 24-year-old who has been operating a lawn mowing business since he was 12. People know him as the guy who goes around looking for crazy overgrown lawns and mowing them for free. By doing so, he has discovered and taken advantage of a fantastic business model that brings a smile to peoples’ faces and results in lots of revenue for his company.
Spencer has done a great thing by capitalizing on the market of people eager to scroll through social media by providing them with heartwarming videos of incredibly satisfying lawn transformations and fantastic reactions from the people he is doing the work for. His videos make him so much revenue that the money he makes from them is more than enough to cover the work, so he is able to do the work (for his videos) entirely for free, which in turn brings in more revenue because people love to watch him do his work without expecting anything in return. Spencer says, “people just like seeing the kindness that I’m kind of bringing around my city”.
Spencer has accumulated such a large following (13 million followers) that he also has brands reach out and contact him, asking him if he’ll do sponsorship deals so that they can reach his followers.
Something unique and refreshing about Spencer is his kind and caring attitude. It’s something that people appreciate seeing when we live in such a broken world. He also clearly demonstrates his entrepreneurial characteristics by being willing to go around knocking on doors in a day and age where not too many people do that anymore. He also treats people with a lot of respect and clearly explains his desire to help them even when they don’t believe that he wants to do the work for free, managing to alleviate any concern that he’s some sort of scam artist. If everyone were as humble and kind as Spencer B., the world would be a brighter place.

I have watched Spencer’s videos, and I find them so satisfying. I think it’s so cool he has gained a huge following and earned an incredible amount of money while making no money actually caring for people’s lawns.
I’ve seen some of this guy’s videos and I think the work he does is so valuable. There’s a lady that has a similar channel where she cleans extremely filthy homes like hoarder houses for free, and her value proposition is the same: she does the actual work without expecting anything in return, and drives revenue from the channel where people can crowdfund her and brands can sponsor her. I’d be interested to see what other spaces this type of entrepreneurial venture could reach too.
Spencer’s story shows how hard work and kindness can lead to great success. His free lawncare service has inspire millions of people and has helped his community greatly. Spencer’s use of social media helps him generate revenue and sponsorships for people who can’t afford it. His business model is a mix of entrepreneurship and generosity to those in need. Spencer approaches his work with a humble and caring attitude, and he shows us how simple acts of kindness can make a big difference. Spencer has proved that you can make the world a better place by doing good. Great post!
