As a pest control business owner, this is one of the best podcasts I have been able to listen to. Really enjoying the insights both from Paul on the way he looks at and evaluates businesses, and also from the business owners who have been among the most successful in our industry. It seems like at least once and usually multiple times in every podcast I find a nugget that I can implement right now to improve my business, or I find a new perspective I hadn’t considered before that broadens my understanding. Thank you Patrick and Paul for taking the time and effort to put this together. You’re providing a great value to elevate the pests control industry.

Episodes are definitely worth the time to listen to whether in the pest industry or not. I always have at least a handful of notes to follow up on and improve in my business after listening to an episode!

The Boardroom Buzz is nothing short of exceptional in delivering insightful content. From the moment you hit play, you're welcomed into a world of deep business knowledge and engaging discussions that are both informative and captivating. What sets this podcast apart is its ability to tackle complex business topics with clarity and depth. Fat Pat & Paul, along with their guests, bring a wealth of experience to the table, and their insightful analysis of current trends and issues facing the business world is truly impressive.

I am in the process of trying to acquire a pest control company in my area. I had been listening to their podcast for quite sometime and thought of them when I had questions on the acquisition. Patrick took my phone call and spent over half an hour on the phone with me answering all of my questions and more. He gave expert advice and opinions on my deal and gave me so many good nuggets to write down. Their podcast is amazing and their willingness to help others is even more amazing. These guys are rockstars!

I listen to many podcasts. This is one of them.

Best quality podcast! I listen to other pest and lawn podcast but this one by far is the best quality sound and information. Many podcasts after the first 10 to 20 episode seemed to run out of guests and repeat ideas and stories. Over the last year I have Listen to the first 80 or so episodes and I feel each one brings its own ideas and things to think about. Plus I don’t know of another podcast that has had so many high profile guest willing to come have a chat and answer questions.

This is the must listen podcast in the pest control business. I look forward to Thursdays and the latest updates on what’s happening in the pest world. Great insights and fantastic guest.

Fantastic show. Always a fresh, irreverent and transparent take on what’s happening in the industry and markets. Keep it coming.

Awesome content. Keep it coming.

This is the first podcast review I’ve ever left, but this one is worth it. The most value is going to be for a pest control owner, or someone looking to enter the pest control field. If that’s you, this is your MBA course times ten right here. For everyone else, this podcast will make you want to enter the exciting and ever evolving pest control industry!

Turn to these guys to learn about what pest control companies are doing to grow and build value. Side note: how do they only have 139 reviews?

This podcast is awesome. Paul and Patrick do an incredible job of snagging the right people to interview and asking great questions. Every business leader needs to listen in whether you’re in the bug business or not. Keep it up guys and Make It a Great Day!

Update… voices for radio and faces for tv! My boyfriend owns a pest control company, I’m an HR Director for an architecture firm. I never thought I would look forward to road trips and pest control podcasts! Thanks for giving everyone something to learn. Patrick!!! You make me laugh on every episode!

Patrick and Paul are phenomenal on The Boardroom Buzz. Patrick is a great host with an awesome sense of humor. Paul is such an expert in Pest Control M &A. His dry sense of humor makes me laugh as well. Their guests provide such value to all of us in the pest industry. Highly recommend this podcast!

I absolutely love listening to this podcast. It's fun hearing Patrick and Paul discussing the M&A world in regards to pest control and hair business owners discussing the challenges of running their businesses. I kind of feel like it shouldn't be free there is so much awesome information in every podcast. To be able to listen to owners who have been through the ups and downs of growth discuss their challenges AND solutions and to be able to get it for free is absolutely amazing! Great job guys I love the work!!

I started listening to the Boardroom Buzz a few months ago and am a huge fan now. I listen to older episodes every morning on my way to work. It’s been the best resource I have found for pest control owners and operators.

The content and speakers on here are fantastic. I am in the middle of due diligence to acquire a business. The insight, tips, and content from this podcast have been invaluable during the diligence process. Hopefully allowing me to avoid many big pitfalls. I look forward to implementing many new things I've learned. Keep up all the great content! Can't imagine a better lineup from what we have had already. Potomac is clearly the leader in the space. A must listen for anyone that wants to keep innovating and improving the business!

If you work in Pest Control this podcast is a must listen to open your mind to new ways of doing business. And if you aren’t in pest control yet this podcast will make you wonder why. Thank you Patrick, Paul and Dylan for delivering such outstanding content every Thursday. Can’t wait for season 2!!

The combination of Paul and Patrick is a phenomenal mixture of business knowledge and technical expertise. “Boardroom Buzz” is the perfect name for this series; it feels as though the listener is immersed in a deep boardroom conversation with fantastic guest from the pest control industry. Unthinkable questions are always asked by the host and they are asked in a way where the guests provide the most open and honest answers. Patrick’s witty interview style is so disarming, engaging and funny; Paul’s composure and measured questions really drives the conversation. This combination really is a compliment to the listeners/audience. The consistent release of each episode is a huge plus as well. Keep up the great work!

This is a fantastic listen. Both Paul and Patrick have terrific insights into the industry as well as the latest and greatest in all things M&A. I highly recommend!

Potomac Pest Control Group (Boardroom Buzz) has advised a multitude of top organizations providing unique insight into the key successes and challenges which shaped them. Paul and Patrick’s interviews are uniquely thought provoking for the interviewed and treasure trove of information for the listener. Give this series a listen and and implement actionable and impactful change in your organization today!

Listeners might not understand that great interviews are great because the host(s) understand the subject matter well enough to craft questions that take the guest (and listeners) deeper into the subject, and that is certainly what I found with the Boardroom Buzz. It was one of the most enjoyable and yet difficult interviews I’ve done, and the feedback from our customers and those in the industry has been great. I attribute that to the knowledge of the hosts and their willingness to politely, yet firmly, ask the tougher questions that really got to the heart of what’s happening in our company and the industry we help lead, and their ability to help listeners understand why that’s so important to them.

A super resource for insight and perspective from industry leaders. Paul and Patrick do a tremendous job pulling useful details out of their guests. A must listen for anyone wanting to grow in different ways.

Paul and Patrick are pest control industry gurus! Their podcast gives you a high level view of the pest control industry and how big players operate their businesses. Their insight and interviews have changed how I view and operate my business. I would recommend this podcast to anyone looking to grow their business.

This podcast is a great resource that I point clients to as well as I personally utilize some of the information! Whether you are running a pest control business or another industry, there is some great information on business strategy!

I really enjoy this podcast. Extremely informative and Paul & Patrick’s personalities make this really entertaining.

If you are a small or mid market pest control company and want to enlarge your business, you don’t want to miss this. I only wish we had found this years ago. We would have saved on some blood, sweat, and tears over the years. Subscribe!!!

If you are in anyway connected to the pest control industry or really any services industry this podcast is a must listen.

The Boardroom Buzz is the best source of pest control business information available online, hands down. Paul, Patrick, and their guests are instructive as well as entertaining. I look forward each week to a new episode.

Some podcasts are for entertainment and others offer growth and learning. This podcast brings the best of both worlds. I can’t overstate the amount of information I have gained and been able to apply to my business. Thank you Paul & Patrick...Keep up the phenomenal work!

Thursday morning are the only day of the week I look forward to sitting in traffic. This podcast fires me up ever Thursday morning to get into the office and improve my company with something new I learned.

Package up the episodes and you have a MBA in the business of Pest Management. The topics are relevant, not only because of the consolidation that is going on in our industry, but because they also make good and profitable operational sense. The personal stories the guests provide add credibility to the topics. Paul and Patrick. keep them coming.

Patrick and Paul offer a wealth of knowledge and insight. Bring a pen and notepad when you listen! Thanks guys!

You don’t have to be an owner of a pest control company to benefit from this podcast. No matter what your capacity, you will learn pearls of wisdom from successful guests to make you better. Patrick and Paul do a great job of asking questions and getting the whole story. I binged on all the episodes as soon as I found it. Thanks for bringing light to this great industry.

Boardroom Buzz is the kickass local bar that you don’t tell the tourists about and Paul and Patrick are the master barkeeps. Both Main Street and Wall Street PCOs pull up a stool here for witty, insightful and probing discussion on the state of the pest control industry. Entertaining, well-produced and quality content.

You can’t put a price on this content. So many nuggets to add value to your business. Inspiration for you to push forward and build a best in class pest control organization. I always look forward to every episode and find myself going back to review. Great job Patrick and Paul and thanks for putting this together.

I listen to Paul every morning on my way to work, can’t believe this is free!

Patrick and Paul do an amazing job interviewing these men and women who have been in the business trenches and come out on the other side successful. They share the raw truth of trials and tribulations, victories and defeats. I can only take an episode per week because the info is so detailed and heavy I need time to process everything. The production quality, humor, and sophistication is a winning combination!

Having been in pest control for 20+ years, I thought I knew everything I needed to know; I was way off. I am learning tons from this pod. Paul and Patrick line up top notch guests each week which provide information and insights that are useful for any stage of business, from start up, to growth, to operations, to exit. Paul and Patrick provide an entertaining platform and really get into practical, useful, and applicable information. I highly recommend the Boardroom Buzz.

Great business podcast. Not just for those involved in pest control. Love the in depth interview structure; really helps the listener delve into the culture of business and entrepreneurialism.

The Boardroom Buzz is a must listen to podcast for every PCO, no matter the size or phase your business is in. As was said by one of the guests “Run your business like you’re going to own it forever, position it like you’re going to sell it tomorrow”. The podcast is a wealth of knowledge that can help owners start to position their companies for the best possible future. Paul and Patrick bring in the best minds in pest control and M&A including former owners, transaction attorneys, CEOs, tax experts and everything in between. If you’re not listening to the podcast you’re doing yourself a disservice!

Patrick & the gang are experts in their field. Answered more questions than I even knew I had. A+ P~

Patrick is an A1 dude. Him and his team are extremely knowledgeable & willing to help everyone at any point of their business. Pmo

I can’t thank you two enough for the podcast and incredibly valuable information shared. My brother and I are doing about a million dollars a year in revenue and we really didn’t know where to go next. We’ve been manhandling this thing from the beginning and, to be honest, it was getting ugly. Friends in the industry who were happy to give opinions and suggestions but very few concrete ideas and usually with the preface, “I could tell you how I did that, but it will be way better for you to figure it out on your own.” While much of the advice is helpful, we regularly get caught in the weeds. Thanks to your podcast we’ve been able to refocus our efforts and narrow it down to the things that matter most. Your key insights and 30,000 foot views have helped us take a more systematic approach to the future and where we want to be. Aside from the business advice, you two have really helped ignite a desire for personal growth and development. Patrick, your humble approach to every interview has coaxed out some real gems from your guests while it is blatantly obvious to your listeners you’re a well-informed consumer who has internalized ideas and insights from a myriad of sources but especially books. You are a great example of the potential an everyday guy can achieve as you rub shoulders with world-class performers and highly educated guests. Paul, just wow, your encyclopedic knowledge is invaluable while still being accessible. Your ability to dumb everything down to our layman level is incredible. The information you share is that bear-sized carrot dangled in front of us showing what practical potential is out there if we will just act. Again, I can’t express my gratitude enough for this content you two freely share (easily could be premium content behind a paywall) and wish you two the best in all your endeavors. -Daniel

Paul, Patrick, and Guests consistently dish out premium education and entertainment on The Buzz. It’s practical, informative, hard-hitting, funny, and sophisticated, all wrapped up in a bow. I’ve personally benefited tremendously as a lower middle market fundless sponsor and acquisition entrepreneur from the broadly applicable info and community shared on The Buzz. This podcast is worth its weight in gold and then some. Thank you for all that you do! Adam

I own a rapidly growing commercial and residential services business outside of the pest control industry. A friend of mine who is also not in the industry turned me on to this podcast. I am addicted to listening to Paul and Patrick and their very interesting guests. I have learned more about business from this pest control podcast than I have from any other source. I have already been implementing a lot of Paul’s idea and they are changing my business and changing my mindset. I am blown away by what you are doing and would happily pay to receive this information. What you’re doing is amazing!

The material is great! I’ve owned a pest control company for 3 years now. I’ve learned so much. I’ve implemented some of the strategies in discussion on these podcasts into my own business and starting to see phenomenal results. Keep them coming!!!

Really great topics on this pod. A must listen for pest control owners, managers, employees, and others tied to the industry!

Listening to Paul and Patrick talk pest control is like listening to Jordan and Pippen talk basketball. I can’t believe the information shared in this podcast is free. Best podcast in pest control and it’s not even close.

Y’all might think I’m writing this review just to haggle Paul to release the P&L which is partially true but I also have to pay my respects to the pod. This Podcast is brilliant. You learn so much during the episodes that you have to listen at least twice to soak it all in. It’s great to listen to the different perspectives of people who have already made it in the industry. Patrick and Paul are both have a lot of knowledge within the industry and the people they interview take it over the top.
