Allan Hockett bageled his first two weeks in pest control. His manager pulled him aside and said, "Allan, you suck at this job. Sell five next week or you're fired." He barely scraped by with five. That was 11 years ago. Now he's a 4-time Golden Door winner.
In this episode, Hunter sits down with Allan to unpack what changedโfrom running between doors and studying the top producer to building momentum systems that compound all summer. Allan shares the olfactory trigger he uses to lock in before every shift, why he believes "if you're not drowning daily, you're doing it wrong," and the mid-summer slump that had him in bed for two weeks. He also talks about the text from his wife that changed everything: "If you want to be the best, you have to be different than everyone else."
