What do you get when you combine a firefighter, a small-town mayor, and a first-time pest control business owner? You get Matt Alexander—a man who's literally putting out fires on and off the job.
In this high-energy episode of the Bug Bucks Podcast, Eric and Jake sit down with Matt to talk about his whirlwind first year as the founder of Aero Pest Management. From walking away from an embezzlement-ridden partnership to launching his own company with just $26K and a ton of grit, Matt has built a thriving pest control business while juggling politics, public safety, and parenthood.
You’ll hear:

How Matt grew to 322 customers in 12 months
Why he puts customer callbacks above new sales
His “cult following” on Facebook and the power of local reputation
The moment he put out a fire using his pest control backpack
How he trains his team for customer retention from day one
And why caring about people—really caring—pays off in business and in life

Whether you’re in year one or scaling past seven figures, this episode will remind you what passion, community, and a ridiculous work ethic can really do.
