Dan shares how his journey into home services marketing began by helping his dad, a flooring business owner who had little to no digital presence. After experimenting with multiple online business models and failing early on, Dan explains how committing fully to one niche, pest control SEO, allowed him to build real authority and long-term momentum. He breaks down why storytelling is one of the most powerful tools in marketing and speaking, and how the best industry leaders use stories to connect emotionally and build trust. Dan also explains why cold calling and spammy outreach strategies attract low-quality clients, while authority building through podcasts, books, and association with top industry leaders creates higher-quality opportunities that come to you. He closes with a powerful mindset message about using pain as fuel, staying disciplined through the early grind, and thinking bigger because success becomes inevitable when you refuse to quit.
