From PE Teachers to an 8-Figure Exit: Jeremy and Jason Julio on Building, Selling and Starting Again

In this episode of the Home Service Studs podcast, Andrew Hathaway speaks with Jeremy and Jason Julio, the Blue Collar Twins, twin brothers and PE teachers from New Jersey who built and sold their mosquito and tick control business. They share how they started with one truck and no business experience, wore every hat from CSR to technician, kept their teaching jobs while reinvesting in the business, and grew to five million dollars in annual revenue at strong margins before selling at three times revenue after a two-year exit process. The conversation covers balancing teaching, family, and a growing company, investing in a management team that shared their vision, the challenges of selling a seasonal business, launching Ruff Stuff, a recurring dog waste removal company, marketing through ads and community involvement, taking over The Boardroom Buzz podcast, family as the motivation for selling, building a business as if you will sell it tomorrow, the value of industry conferences, and deciding what enough means for you.
