David Royce: How He Turned a Summer Job into a $500 Million Business

Before the exits and the empire, David Royce was a college kid who just wanted to surf and make some extra cash. A door-to-door pest control job changed everything.

After helping his boss grow the company from $1 million to $10 million in revenue, David realized he was the one driving the growth. That moment became the spark for everything that followed, building and selling his own nine-figure business, four times.

He took the lessons, systems, and mindset from that experience and built his own blueprint, creating and selling four companies in one of the least glamorous industries. His secret wasn’t luck. It was people, process, and the discipline to outwork everyone else.

In this episode, David shares how he built leaders, not just businesses, and why the key to scaling isn’t motivation,  it’s structure, belief, and relentless consistency.

In this episode, we talk about:
  • The turning point that changed how he viewed work and success
  • How he scaled through structure, not shortcuts
  • Why his leadership model centers on people, not profit
  • The mindset behind building the same business four times, better each time
  • What it means to outwork and outthink everyone around you
