Our History
The Beginnings
Our founder, Aaron Stahl, set out with a vision in 2004. He was intent on building a business that helps other business owners save money, is resistant to technology disruptors, generates residual income, all while being a steward of our environment.
“P3” stands for People, Planet, and Profit. We focus on the intertwining goals; help people save money on their business expenses, do so in a sustainable way that protects the planet, and do so in a significantly profitable way. These are still our foundational pillars today.
From Waste To So Much More
Early Years - Expansion
In its early years, P3 was primarily dedicated to assisting clients in reducing their waste and recycling costs.
After securing our first major client, a Sonic franchise group, to accommodate the growing demands of this new partnership, Scott Swearingen joined the P3 team, becoming the company’s first official employee.

With Scott’s valuable contribution, P3’s capabilities expanded even further. His expertise in waste reduction strategies and his passion for delivering exceptional service helped solidify P3’s reputation as a trusted partner in the industry.
Our Current Model

When Michael Nicolas joined our ranks as the President of the company, he brought with him 30 years of experience in developing successful business to business franchisees.
