Episode 20 — Life After a Death: How Brandon Hier Saved His Family’s Business, Sold it to Rentokil and Found Happiness in an Unexpected Place

from The Boardroom Buzz: Grow, Sell, or Exit · host The Boardroom Buzz

Brandon Hier recalls his experience responding to the responsibilities he inherited when his dad passed away and then ultimately selling the family business five years later. As a young teen, Brandon donned a respirator as he followed in his father's footsteps. His life took a turn as he shelved his college education to return home to run the business. Brandon was thrust into an impossible work-life balance as he struggled to build the family business in his father's absence. Not only did Brandon take the leadership position at the family pest control company, but to further the matter, he found himself responsible for his mother’s financial future and retirement. Join Paul and Patrick, as Brandon looks back on his time running the family business, selling it and ultimately exceeding expectations with his new life at Rentokil. Paul and Patrick also chat about ServiceMaster selling their Brands business to do pure play pest.
