Brett Ponton is rolling out of rubber retail into the revolving ServiceMaster CEO seat. Does he check guest co-host and EPS M&A Director Andrew Barrow’s boxes, or will the Board be calling in their own retreat?

Paul doesn’t always agree with return guest Jamie Clement, but Paul gives his ‘million percent’ ( 💯 ^ 💯 ^ 💯) approval of Jamie’s take on a company going public.

Speaking of going public, COULD Patrick take his company public through an intrastate offering? Also, what’s more likely to happen to a company in the top 10 than going public?

While there are similar views on taking a pest control company public, is discussing innovation going to divide the four-bald-guy-clan?

The Nords have immigrated to the States, but will they bring their socialized pest control with them?

Did somebody mention Copesan? Where will that rabbit trail lead us?

Stay tuned-in for the great debate of acquisitions. What makes them accretive? How can one bad deal ruin the bunch? With 30 of his own executed deals, Andrew isn’t slow to share his opinion on the matter. 

Do not grow weary of Paul’s spaced repetition : companies with legit capabilities...

Of course this Jamie Clement episode wouldn’t be complete without a few sports analogies thrown-in.

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.
