#81 He Built Billion Dollar Companies By Selling Everything Except The Team | David Royce30 Jun1 h 02 min

My guest today sold the same company four times and built over a billion dollars in exits doing it, in pest control, of all industries. David Royce walks me through how he kept his "golden goose" (the sales force and executive team) every time he sold, rolled the cash into the next venture, and rebuilt without ever giving up equity. We get into how that took him from zero to 500 million in eight years, why fast growth nearly bankrupted him first, and the 5 am text that pulled his father out of hospice.
