Licensed to Kill

05/12/2026

We were invited out by another pest control company to attend a career day event at a local middle school, and it was an incredible opportunity to connect with the next generation and introduce them to an industry that many young people simply don’t know enough about!

One of the biggest goals of Licensed To Kill is helping show students that pest control is more than “just spraying bugs.” This industry is filled with opportunity, growth, technology, entrepreneurship, problem solving, and unique career paths that most people never realize exist. From wildlife work and aerial application to entomology, sales, marketing, training, and even specialized roles like falcon handling — there are so many different ways to build a meaningful and successful career in this field.

We put together a presentation designed to highlight the “real world superhero” side of pest control — the people protecting homes, businesses, food supply chains, public health, and communities every single day. Watching students engage, ask questions, and realize that this industry could actually be a future path for them was genuinely rewarding!

This is exactly the kind of outreach we want to continue expanding. If your company, school, organization, or local event would like LTK to participate in a future career day, industry event, or youth outreach opportunity, we’d love to connect!

We’re also actively looking for partners and sponsors who believe in helping us introduce the pest industry to younger generations in a positive and engaging way. With the right support, we can continue creating presentations, attending events, and building resources that help shape the future of the industry. 💪

Huge thanks again to everyone involved for allowing us to be a part of this event — this is only the beginning!

I recently had the opportunity to attend the Swarm Pest Control Marketing Mastermind Intensive out in Tucson, Arizona, hosted by Wyatt Chambers, and it’s one of those experiences that sticks with you. Im very thankful to have gone and been apart of it.

I was honored to be invited as a guest speaker where I got to share about Licensed To Kill, specifically around recruiting and bringing new people into the industry. But in a smaller, more intimate setting, I was also able to open up about something deeper. The real impact LTK has had on people’s lives. The relationships, the growth, the direction it’s given so many of us. That part meant a lot.

What made this event special though wasn’t just speaking, it was the balance of being able to learn just as much as I taught.

As a business owner building Sasquatch Pest Control, I had the chance to sit with other operators, talk honestly about challenges, and gain real mentorship from people who have been through it before. No fluff, just real conversations with people who care about getting better.

My wife came with me, and that might have been the best part of the whole trip. We got to travel somewhere new together, explore the desert mountains, and just enjoy the experience. But more than that, I got to watch her step into this as an owner, not just someone behind the scenes handling office work. We’re building this together, and that shift was powerful to see.

The level of information shared was next level:

We learned about:
•Game-changing AI tools for marketing and websites from Wyatt Chambers
•Growth stages of pest control companies from Greg Weatherly
•Data and marketing journey structure from Mike Dame
•Emerging bee technology from Taylor Thoeness
•Building real company culture from Ismael Martinez
•Social media health metrics from Leigh Mitchell
•Estate planning for both business and personal life from Todd Jarvis
•Modern billboard strategy from Lee Klein at Clear Channel

It was a room full of people who are serious about growing, improving, and doing things the right way.

If you ever get the opportunity to attend something like this, take it.

Get in the room.
Have the conversations.
Be open about where you’re at.

You’ll leave better than you came in.

This weekend we ran a 5K as a family.

Nothing crazy. Nothing elite. Just three people deciding to move forward together.

My wife, my daughter, and I were all in.

The more I thought about it, the more it felt like this season of life I’m in right now. Starting a business. Building LTK. Stepping into something bigger than what feels comfortable.

You don’t sprint the whole way. You don’t have everything figured out at the starting line. You don’t know exactly how it’s going to feel halfway through.

You just take the next step. Then another.

And before you know it, you’ve gone farther than you thought you could.

What made it even more meaningful was looking around and realizing we weren’t doing it alone. There were friends and family along the sidelines cheering us on, encouraging us to keep going. And there were others on the track with us, running their own race right beside us.

That’s exactly what this journey has felt like too.

Support. Community. People in your corner. People in it with you.

It makes all the difference.

I’m proud of my family. I’m grateful for the people around us. And I’m excited for what’s ahead.

We’ll keep moving forward, one step at a time. 👟 10k on the horizon and beyond

I recently had the opportunity to join Ben Mcgary on the Sell More Academy show for a conversation about something every business owner eventually realizes:

Your team is your brand.

In the discussion we broke down how the people in your organization [technicians, office staff, and leadership] ultimately become the most powerful marketing and branding asset your company has.

At the end of the day, logos, ads, and websites might get attention…
But it’s people and systems that actually build trust and drive growth.

Sell More Academy is built around five core pillars of modern business success: AI, branding, marketing, sales, and systems; all designed to help operators implement frameworks that produce real results in their companies.

During the conversation we talked about:

• How service technicians can become brand ambassadors in the field
• Why systems and processes create predictable growth and how genuine connection can be a part of that
• How to Gamify your company culture for growth in a positive way
• How operators can position themselves as the obvious choice in their communities

It was a great conversation focused on building smarter businesses while still remaining human in a time full of so much AI and how selling with integrity leaves behind a lasting impact that will drive growth and business relationships for years to come.

If you're an operator looking to level up your sales, branding, and systems, this is definitely worth checking out.

Give the clip a watch and let me know what you think and check out the blog that goes with it!
