What can a CPA teach a pest control owner about scaling a business?

In this episode of the Bug Bux Podcast, Allan Draper sits down with Brandon Sizemore, co-founder and COO of Mint Pest Control, for a conversation packed with real business insights, operational lessons, and mindset shifts every PCO needs to hear.

Before helping build one of the industry’s fastest growing companies, Brandon spent 12 years as a CPA working with organizations like the Arizona Cardinals and the Salvation Army. Now, he’s applying those same systems, processes, and financial principles to pest control growth.

This episode goes far beyond accounting.

• How systems and documentation create scalable companies
• The mindset shift from employee to entrepreneur
• Why pest control is one of the best businesses in the world
• Leadership, delegation, and building customer experiences that last
