In this episode, host Justin Williams sits down with David Royce, who went from working minimum wage at a snowboard shop to building a pest control empire spanning 34 states — and selling it for a reported $135 million before rolling those gains into an even bigger venture. David breaks down the exact door-to-door sales strategies that launched his career, why he almost went bankrupt in his best year, and how he used the same playbook three times to keep scaling. We also get into the real relationship between luck and hard work, the danger of "following your passion," why cash flow will kill your business before competition does, and what it means to build long-term equity instead of just chasing a paycheck. Whether you're thinking about starting a home services business, getting into commission sales, or just trying to understand how ordinary people build extraordinary wealth, this conversation is packed with hard-won lessons you won't find in a business school classroom!
