Really like the podcast! Keep it up!
I’m the owner of a digital marketing agency. (Derek Short in Macedon, New York, USA) I really enjoy this show. Thank you for doing it!
Listening in from Western MA! Love this podcast, such great info for a growing!
My wife and I started our own pest control company in 2018. To say navigating and scaling on your own is arduous, is an understatement! Eric and Jake make growing it easier by sharing, mentoring, teaching and the list goes on. These episodes are addictive and leave you wanting to know more. We’re very thankful to you guys for creating this for our industry.
I have been a part of the Bug Bux Facebook page for about a year now, I posted a couple months back asking for resources to help me get to the next level and was pointed towards this podcast.
This is a literal gold mine for PCO’s at all stages of the journey upward (if growth is your thing), and I’m so thankful for this and the guys who have put so much value into a free resource for the industry.
Started at episode 1 a few days ago and I’m not stopping until I’m current!
