Paul and Patrick discuss the importance of stay bonuses, and how one management team tried to extort $1 million from a seller at the closing of the sale of his pest control business. We also learn about what happened to the family of a seller who died of a heart attack the day before the sale of his business. Patrick and Paul also talk about the closing of Project Warrior with <a href="https://www.certuspest.com" target="_blank">Certus</a> last week and how activist hedge fund, <a href="https://www.thirdpoint.com" target="_blank">Third Point</a>, has acquired a 3.1 million share stake in <a href="https://www.servicemaster.com" target="_blank">ServiceMaster</a>. Does this mean that ServiceMaster will be taken private or acquired?

Episode 4 — Extortion at the Closing, Stay Bonuses, and the Takeover of ServiceMaster’s Board of Directors

Boardroom Buzz is the straight-talk playbook for owners who built their service businesses from the crawlspace up and want to master the next move—whether that’s doubling down on growth or preparing for a life-changing exit.

Hosted by Jason &amp; Jeremy Julio—“The Blue-Collar Twins” who turned a service-truck start-up into a multimillion-dollar success—and mentored by veteran deal-maker Paul Giannamore, the show turns boardroom finance into stories you’d swap over a tailgate. Expect 40-minute deep-dives that unwrap one real transaction and one valuation lever you can pull today, plus quick “Market Pulse” riffs that flag shifts every operator should watch.

If you’re a majority or significant-minority owner eyeing the $5 M–$100 M revenue range, tune in for gritty war stories, step-by-step tactics, and the confidence to choose your own endgame. New episodes every Thursday. Presented by POTOMAC M&amp;A.
