Dave Royce on Pest Control, Private Equity, and Purpose 🦟 E169
About this episode
In this episode of The Money Mondays, Dan Fleyshman sits down with entrepreneur Dave Royce, who built four pest control companies and a solar energy company while helping scale one of the largest residential pest control businesses in the United States.
Dave shares how he went from a broke college student struggling to make a single sale to becoming a top rookie, sales manager, founder, and multi-time business builder. He breaks down the door-to-door sales model, how young reps can earn life-changing money in a single summer, and why sales is one of the most valuable skills anyone can learn.
Dan and Dave also dive into investing after a big income year, how to avoid lifestyle inflation, why access matters in private investments, and how to think about risk, savings, and long-term wealth. The conversation closes with a powerful discussion on philanthropy, purpose, education, charity, and Dave’s commitment to giving the majority of his wealth away.
This episode is for anyone interested in sales, entrepreneurship, scaling teams, investing smarter, and building a life with both money and meaning.
