As 2025 came to a close, we took the time to look back at all of the progress we have made, and all of the great friends in the Restoration industry that we met along the way.
We are so grateful to everyone who supported us, and everyone who took the time to join us or listen to the Restoration Rundown. We do this for all of you out there, and we couldn’t have done any of it without you! We want to send a huge thank you to everyone reading this, and we hope that we get to do more incredible things together this year.
Welcome to the Restoration Rundown podcast, the podcast that’s dedicated to you!
“And if you’re not making a profit, you’re not going to grow. And if you’re not growing, you’re dying.”
“AI is teaching itself at lightning speed.“
“It’s about systemizing everything. And I mean, if you can go into it, it’s really three words: It’s culture, it’s systems, and it’s profitability.”
“But you want to be the face of the organization. If you’re leading from behind a desk, you’re now dependent on employees. And guess what? Employees leave. You don’t. So to the extent that you are the face of the organization, you’re going to have longevity.”
What’s up everybody? We’re rolling into the 120th episode of the Restoration Rundown podcast. Man, time has flown. So, I want to take a minute and just shout out every single one of the guests that we’ve had come on this show to share their insights and their expertise to help you run your restoration business better.
And also, a big thank you to everyone that tunes into the show. You’re the reason why we do this and we cannot wait for what’s in store for 2026. See you next time!
