🎙️ Episode 22 - In this episode of The Franchise Champion Show, Alan sits down with Stephen Tsang, a former corporate operator turned Pest Master franchise owner. After surviving five rounds of restructuring at a multi-billion dollar company, Stephen realized corporate "security" was a myth. He had built an accounting side business, but when AI started threatening that industry too, he made the strategic pivot to a recession-proof, disruption-proof franchise.

Learn how Stephen validated the pest control industry as AI-proof and recession-resistant, why he chose "boring" essential services over flashy trends, the exact strategy he used to land government and B2B contracts instead of one-off residential work, how he structured his business for semi-absentee ownership from day one, and the risk calculation that changed his perspective: losing 2-3% of clients vs. losing 100% of your income in one layoff.
