#370 What if you could build wealth by revitalizing one of the most overlooked industries in America? In this episode hosted by Kirsten Tyrrel, we sit down with Dave Menz, the Laundromat Millionaire, who turned a failing, run-down laundromat into a multimillion-dollar empire by focusing on one key principle: serve your community better than anyone else. Dave shares how modernized laundromats are transforming neighborhoods, why customer experience is the ultimate differentiator, and how even with zero business background, you can start small and scale big. From flipping "zombie mats" to creating full-service laundry hubs with delivery, Dave reveals the untapped potential hiding in plain sight — plus the emotional rollercoaster and sacrifice that come with the entrepreneurial path. This is part one of a two-part masterclass that will forever change the way you view the laundromat business!
