The Ladder is our new podcast series aimed at those climbing the career ladder as well as those at the top who are charged with managing a labor force of Millennials.

In this first episode, TurfNet's John Reitman chats with Dan Meersman, director of grounds at the Philadelphia Cricket Club, about how he leverages the tech-savvy of his staff while meeting their need for a better work/life balance than many in this industry are used to.

Meersman was also a previous TurfNet Superintendent of the Year award winner, in 2012.

The Ladder is presented by Penn State World Campus, offering high-quality online turfgrass degrees and certificates.
