In this episode I talk to Michael Coates, one of the founders of an award winning business, Combat Pest Control and an award winning podcast, the Declassified podcast.


Michael and his friend Des set up Combat Pest Control as far more than any ordinary business. The values underpinning their work far exceed a simple desire to earn money. Listen on to find out how they are using their business model, underpinned by solid core value foundations, to benefit others, and especially listen out for the part about African pouch rats which blew my little mind when I first heard it.


Michael is an all round good guy, a[ sound and steady pillar of the military community, the way he has used his vision and passion to help others is really admirable. The Declassified podcast is a must listen but before I divert you all over there please do listen on to find out a little bit more about it’s incredible host in this episode of the Be Glad Movement.
