Bonus Buzz — Jamie Clement and Andrew Barrows Debate TruGreen’s Entry into the Pest Control Industry

Industry colleague Andrew Barrows, head of M&A at Environmental Pest Service, joins The Buzz this week as guest co-host to interview equity research analyst Jamie Clement.

When Andrew listened to Episode 6, he contacted Paul and Patrick and said that he wished he had been in the room with them to talk shop with Jamie. This week, his wish was granted. He was brought on The Buzz for a lively discussion with Paul, Patrick and Jamie.

Patrick and Paul decided to make the first half of the interview a standalone episode because it dealt with one topic, TruGreen’s recent announcement that it had entered the pest control industry. The second half of the interview, covering a variety of topics, will be released soon.

The Boardroom Buzz: Grow, Sell, or Exit

Boardroom Buzz is the straight-talk playbook for owners who built their service businesses from the crawlspace up and want to master the next move—whether that’s doubling down on growth or preparing for a life-changing exit.

Hosted by Jason & Jeremy Julio—“The Blue-Collar Twins” who turned a service-truck start-up into a multimillion-dollar success—and mentored by veteran deal-maker Paul Giannamore, the show turns boardroom finance into stories you’d swap over a tailgate. Expect 40-minute deep-dives that unwrap one real transaction and one valuation lever you can pull today, plus quick “Market Pulse” riffs that flag shifts every operator should watch.

If you’re a majority or significant-minority owner eyeing the $5 M–$100 M revenue range, tune in for gritty war stories, step-by-step tactics, and the confidence to choose your own endgame. New episodes every Thursday. Presented by POTOMAC M&A.
