In this episode, we’re joined by James Hatfield: a father, a builder, and a door knocker who didn’t wait for someone to hand him an opportunity. Armed with a clipboard, a ladder, and the drive to feed his family, James knocked his way into entrepreneurship, one “yes” at a time.

What started as a way to keep food on the table turned into multiple service crews, a return to school to sharpen his business chops, and eventually, the launch of LiveSwitch. It’s a video tech platform now trusted by major league stadiums, massive companies, and thousands of everyday service pros across the country.

James didn’t just build businesses. He built resilience, leadership, and legacy. And it all started on a doorstep.

💡 3 Takeaways You’ll Hear:

✅ The “2 Yeses a Day” mindset that changed everything

✅ Why tech tools will never replace work ethic

✅ How he went from knocking doors to powering elite-level businesses

🚪 Why You Should Listen:
This isn’t just a rags-to-riches story—it’s a field-tested blueprint for anyone tired of waiting for the perfect pitch, the perfect market, or the perfect training. James proves that showing up, knocking doors, and refusing to quit can take you further than you ever imagined.

Whether you’re starting from scratch or scaling big, this episode will remind you what’s possible when you build with grit.

This one’s for the builders. Brendan Quinlan started knocking doors nearly two decades ago, before iPads, before online training, before it was “cool.” He spent 13 years actively knocking, built his first team from the ground up in Florida, and got laughed out of every pest control office in Canada when he tried to bring D2D to his home country. Fast forward to today, and Brendan leads over 500 reps, operates in multiple Canadian cities, and just launched a new international team in Melbourne, Australia. His company now owns both the marketing and fulfillment side, making them the largest residential pest control provider in Canada, all launched in just a few short years. Oh, and now they’re training reps to knock year-round by flipping seasons between hemispheres.

💡 Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:

✅ How to break into new markets when everyone says it’s impossible
✅ The mindset that carried Brendan through years of failure
✅ A timeless principle that keeps top reps in the game
✅ How to create year-round opportunity in a seasonal industry
✅ What it really takes to scale from 3 reps to 500+

🚪 Why This Matters
Brendan’s path wasn’t built on hype. It was built on grit, leadership, and a refusal to quit. If you’re in the trenches now wondering if it’s worth it, this episode will light the fire. Whether you're in your rookie year or scaling a team, Brendan drops wisdom that every rep needs to hear.

In this powerful episode of The D2D Podcast, Hunter Lee sits down with Judson Link, a top-tier roofing rep and rising real estate wholesaler, to share a raw and inspiring conversation about resilience, recovery, and mastering door-to-door sales.

Judson opens up about his past struggles with addiction and how the door-to-door industry helped him rebuild his life. With over $2.6 million sold in his first year and a consistent $200K+ income—even during relapse cycles—he proves that grit, mentorship, and relentless action can transform lives. He’s now building a real estate career while still closing million-dollar commercial roofing projects.

Judson emphasizes the importance of physical and mental preparation, tracking your daily door count, and leaning into discomfort to create long-term success.
