In this episode, Lee Parsells shares his journey from over 30 years of military service to becoming a leader in his community as the Customer Service Manager at Eagle Pest Solutions. He dives into how the discipline, punctuality, and attention to detail he learned in the military shaped his success in business—especially in building long-term customer relationships that have followed him for more than 20 years. As one of the few “essential businesses” allowed to stay open through COVID, Lee breaks down the resilience and mindset that helped his company not just survive, but grow during one of the toughest economic periods for small businesses. Lee also reflects on personal definitions of financial freedom, mentoring, and managing debt as a pathway to stability. His insights offer practical lessons for young listeners: build relationships that last, find mentors who’ve walked the path before you, and use discipline as your foundation—not just in business, but in life.
