Want to know how Tampa Bay is doing right now? This is Andrew Swan, owner of Eco Eden Landscaping, talking to our friend, Sheldon, about the struggles of being a business owner through countless natural disasters During Helene, Andrew slept on Sheldon’s countertops as 4 feet of water swallowed Sheldon’s house. Sheldon was unable to get back from out of town in time and Andrew played hero, saving countless documents and personal items. Andrew has since spent every spare second trying to help rebuild the city we love so much, St. Petersburg. In addition to running a successful business, Andrew also overcame addiction, runs ultramarathons (we completed the 46-mile Pinellas Trail Challenge 1 month ago), is writing a book about habit change, and is just a quality person. If you’re looking for a way to support the hurricane efforts, straight to the people making it happen is the best way possible
