What happens when you inherit a business… but have never actually run one?

In this powerful episode of Pestie Profiles, Jay and Nicky sit down with Chris Grafitti from Pestsol SW Sydney to unpack a journey that so many in our industry can relate to—but few openly talk about.

After spending the last 7 months in mentorship with the Laguna Pest Control team, Chris recently joined us for an intensive two-day, hands-on experience—both in the field and behind the scenes in the office. This episode dives deep into what that transformation really looks like.

We talk candidly about:

• ​The pressure and uncertainty of stepping into a business you didn’t build
• ​The reality of learning the trade, running a business, systems, and confidence from scratch
• ​Chris’s mindset before the program… and the massive shift since
• ​What he’s taken away from mentorship—and how it’s already changing his trajectory
• ​The power of surrounding yourself with people you trust, who genuinely want to see you win
• ​What can happen when you simply reach out for help instead of trying to figure it all out alone
• ​Plus… we uncover a surprising hidden talent you won’t see coming 🎤

This isn’t just a pest control conversation—it’s a raw, honest look at growth, resilience, and backing yourself when it counts.

If you’ve ever doubted your ability to step up in business, this episode will hit home.
