Emil Barr, David Royce, Fleet Maull | Office Hours #752
Emil Barr
Emil Barr, a Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree, exemplifies young entrepreneurial success with his journey from college student to business leader. At 18, Emil founded Step Up Social from his dorm room, growing it to over $3M in annual revenue and working with celebrity clients like Vivek Ramaswamy and Hulk Hogan. In 2024, while still a student, Emil purchased Candid Network, adding brands like Nike, Banana Republic, and Nordstrom to their agency roster. That same year, Emil co-founded a tech company that works with Intel and Khan Academy to help people find new, higher-paying jobs through online education. In less than a year, that business has grown to over $4M in annual recurring revenue and helped upskill over 100 employers and 2,000 individuals.
David Royce
David Royce is the founder and chairman of Aptive Environmental, one of North America’s largest residential pest control companies. In less than nine years, he scaled the business to over $500 million in revenue across more than 5,000 cities. A serial entrepreneur, David previously built and led three of the fastest-growing pest control companies in history. His accomplishments have earned recognition from Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, Inc., and Ernst & Young, where he was named National Entrepreneur of the Year. David’s path to success began with early setbacks, including zero sales in his first week on the job—a humbling start that shaped his leadership and resilience.
Fleet Maull
Fleet Maull empowers overwhelmed founders to step into true CEO-level leadership by blending over 25 years of business strategy experience with deep expertise in mindset, neuroscience, and trauma-informed practices. He is the creator of a results-driven MBA program for bootstrapped entrepreneurs and the founder of multiple mission-driven ventures, including an Inc. 5000 company. As both the host of the Radical Responsibility Podcast and a sought-after guest, Maull delivers clear, practical insights on growth, leadership, and personal transformation. His work is deeply influenced by decades of Buddhist practice—he holds the titles of Acharya in the Shambhala tradition and Roshi in the Zen Peacemaker Order. Maull is the innovator behind Neuro-Somatic Mindfulness, a method that integrates neuroscience with mindfulness to accelerate healing and growth.
