  • Jonas Olson on PAYING Alex Hormozi $100k, 7-Figures Vs. 8-Figures, and Finding A-Players

    In this episode of Pest Control Legends, host Dan Leibrandt interviews Jonas Olson for a deep dive into how he built Pest Badger from $0 to $10M in under five years, with projections of $15M next year and $30M soon after. Jonas shares the strategies behind his rapid growth, from recruiting and developing top talent to instilling discipline, grit, and a winning culture across 15+ locations.

    The conversation covers everything from the impact of Jonas’s five years of sobriety on his leadership, to the EOS framework and KPIs that keep his company running at scale, to the tough calls on hiring executives who can 10x capacity. We also explore the difference in mindset between seven-figure and eight-figure owners, the role of brand and media (including Pest Badger’s massive following of 150k on YouTube, 70k on TikTok, and 40k on Facebook), and the lessons Jonas has picked up from spending time with Patrick Bet-David and Alex Hormozi.

    Recorded while Jonas and Dan were working on the Pest Control Millionaires program and their upcoming book Zip Code Kings (publishing October 20), this episode offers pest control owners a rare look at the systems, mindset, and execution required to scale from startup to industry leader.

  • Jake Sheldon on The BEST Way To Get Leads For Pest Control, Creating Offers, and Closing Deals

    On this episode of Pest Control Legends, Dan Leibrandt interviews Jake Sheldon to unpack the fastest, real-world ways pest control companies scale. From day one tactics to long-term plays, they start with strategic partnerships—how to replace handshake referrals with written agreements, line up lawn care and moving companies as perfect complements, and stagger customer text blasts so your office isn’t swamped overnight.

    Jake shares the standout offers that cut through $50/$100-off fatigue (like a low-cost initial tied to an annual plan) and the follow-through that makes them work: sharp copy, strong creative, speed-to-lead, and sales psychology on the phone. They dive into building million-dollar operations—aim bigger, hire A-players for culture and grit, and treat marketing as a core competency so leads are never the bottleneck. You’ll also hear when to use vested equity for key hires, how Jake structures his own equity deals, and why building to sell tightens systems even if you never exit.

    Stick around for updates on their co-authored book Zip Code Kings (pre-order link in the description) and how the Pest Control Millionaires program turns these playbooks into repeatable growth.

  • Mat Rogers Goes DEEP On The New Era Of Digital Marketing, AI For Pest Control, and "EEAT" For SEO

    In this sequel episode of Pest Control Legends, Dan Leibrandt interviews Matt Rogers, CEO of Lizard Marketing, live from Charlotte. Mat isn’t just another agency owner—he helped grow his family’s company, Killingsworth Pest Control, from $8 million to $28 million before selling to Anticimex. Now, he’s leading the charge on the second renaissance of digital marketing—this time driven by AI.

    This conversation dives deep into how AI is leveling the playing field for small and medium-sized pest control companies, what E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authority, Trust) actually means in 2025, how to structure your SEO and PPC campaigns for real results, and how to build trust with customers and search engines. Matt and Danny also break down what’s changed in branding, how to turn reviews into revenue, and why most pest control companies are still stuck in the past.

    If you’re a PCO who wants to stop playing small and start swinging up at the big guys, this episode is your blueprint.

With a background in HR and operations, Chris shares how Applause is changing the game by incentivizing frontline techs, boosting customer satisfaction, and building high-performance company cultures.

  • Jonas Olson on The #1 THING Holding Pest Control Owners Back, Passing 8-Figures, and Mentality

    In this episode of Pest Control Legends, Dan Leibrandt interviews Jonas Olson—CEO of Pest Badger and one of the most down-to-earth operators in the industry. We talk about the mistake that kept him stuck for years: fighting the wrong market.

  • Aaron Shishilla on What Most Websites Get WRONG, If They Still Matter, and Tracking Success

    In this episode of Pest Control Legends, Dan Leibrandt interviews Aaron Shishilla, CEO and founder of Wolfpack Advising, a leading digital marketing agency specializing in pest control, inspection, and other home services. Aaron shares his unique journey into the industry, starting from an unusual incident while working at a grocery store. After being fired due to a workplace misunderstanding, Aaron joined his family's inspection and pest control business, becoming one of the youngest licensed inspectors in Florida. Frustration with subpar marketing agencies pushed him to dive into digital marketing, initially improving his family’s online presence before eventually establishing his own agency, Wolfpack Advising.

    The conversation dives deeply into the role websites play for pest control businesses, comparing them to a welcoming home that must represent the company professionally and encourage customer conversions. Aaron points out common mistakes he sees regularly, such as poorly built DIY websites, lack of mobile optimization, unclear calls-to-action, and ineffective layouts. He emphasizes the importance of clear messaging, trust signals, and user-friendly design.

    Aaron recommends WordPress as the ideal platform for pest control companies due to its flexibility and strong SEO capabilities, sharing his favorite plugins like WPForms, WP Rocket, Imagify, and Rank Math for optimizing both performance and search visibility. Tracking analytics is also critical, with Aaron recommending tools like Google Analytics, Google Search Console, CallRail, or WhatConverts to precisely measure results from various marketing channels.

    Looking toward the future, Aaron and Dan discuss significant changes in digital marketing driven by AI and tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude. Aaron believes that despite shifts away from traditional Google searches, websites remain essential, providing foundational content that AI relies on. He advises pest control business owners to prioritize consumer-oriented content, closely track performance metrics, and stay adaptable to these rapidly evolving digital trends.

    Aaron concludes with practical advice for pest control companies, stressing the importance of regular communication with marketing partners, consistent review of analytics, and responsiveness to market shifts, ensuring businesses remain competitive in an increasingly digital landscape.
