In this episode, Jason talks with David David Brugh, the co-founder and president of Meridian Bird Removal, a nationwide company that specializes in removing birds from commercial buildings. David shares how his interest in entrepreneurship started at a young age, influenced by watching his father run his own business. What began as a hunting and trapping hobby with a friend eventually grew into a side business as people started asking for their help with local wildlife problems.

The business shifted from a hobby to a serious venture after a call from a big box retailer about a single bird that had been in their store for over a year. David explains the pivotal moment he agreed to service all of the brand's locations in the state, a decision that launched the company's growth nationwide. He also discusses the challenges of scaling the business, the importance of company values, and how they made the conscious decision to grow without taking on debt.
