The Making Of David Sauers

In this episode of The Making Of Hosted By Jack Pitts, I sit down with David Sauers, co-founder of Royal Restrooms, one of the first luxury portable restroom companies in the country. David shares his journey growing up in Savannah, Georgia, working odd jobs as a kid, pursuing professional golf, getting into banking, and eventually building a nationwide franchise business after a frustrating experience at a local festival sparked an idea. We talk about entrepreneurship, risk-taking, franchising, balancing family and business, private equity interest, AI in marketing, and what it really takes to grow a company over 20+ years. David also shares lessons on leadership, sacrifice, branding, and why execution matters more than just having ideas. If you’re interested in entrepreneurship, franchising, business growth, or hearing the real stories behind successful companies, this episode is for you.
