Josh Ridinger was the very first guest on the Stay Broke Podcast, so there was no better person to bring back for Episode 52 and close out our first full year.

A lot has changed since that first conversation.

Josh takes us deeper into how he got into the laundry business, the business model behind Wash World Laundry, and the good—and bad—decisions he’s made along the way. We revisit the growth goals he shared during Episode 1 and talk about how Wash World has already added multiple locations ahead of the schedule he originally envisioned.

But building businesses is only part of the story. We also discuss balancing a full-time career, entrepreneurship, family, multiple business ventures, and finding time to actually enjoy the rewards of all that work.

It’s a full-circle conversation about growth, mistakes, priorities, money, family, and what Josh has learned over the same year that the Stay Broke Podcast grew from Episode 1 to Episode 52.
