Podcasts about laundromats

Guest: Alex Smereczniak— Serial entrepreneur, former CEO of 2ULaundry & Laundry Lab (over $100M valuation, 118 franchises sold), founder of Franzy (30,000+ monthly users, $3M+ raised to help people buy “cash-flowing” businesses). Early Hustles & First Big Win: Started with classic entrepreneurial pursuits: trading cards, washing cars as a kid, and then running a laundry delivery business (“Wake Wash”) in college, which he bought for $30,000 and sold for nearly $300,000 after systematizing and scaling it. Learned about discounted cash flow, buy/sell agreements, and the real value of recurring cash flow and business structure early on. Scaling, Strategy, and Differentiation: Moved from a student business to working for a Big Four consulting firm (Ernst & Young), but quickly realized he needed to build businesses—not just advise them. Launched 2ULaundry in 2016: delivered laundry/dry cleaning to homes and businesses, quickly scaling through tech and operations, later vertically integrating by building brick-and-mortar laundromats with Electrolux, and ultimately franchising the model for rapid growth. Grew Laundry Lab to 118 franchise awards and 30 locations open as of 2025. Laundromats as a Business Model: Low failure rate due to essential, “recession proof” services—people always need clean clothes—combined with cash-flow and passive income advantages. The “Power Play”: Buy from retiring owners, retool equipment over time, tap into durable local demand. Challenges, Automation & Venture Backing: Success meant more than cash-flow: his companies required operational discipline, vertical integration, and large capital outlays (laundromat builds exceed $1M). Venture capital was attracted by the “Uber for Laundry” home-delivery angle, but Alex's model matured into a blend of tech, local infrastructure, and scalable franchising. Why Franchising Needs Disruption — Enter Franzy: Traditional franchise placement is “Wild West,” with brokers sometimes pocketing up to 60% of franchise fees, influencing which opportunities new entrepreneurs see. Franzy's mission: Take a “Zillow for Franchising” approach—leverage AI for franchise matching (across 4000+ brands), standardized fees, and transparency to empower more everyday people to buy real businesses. Focuses on each buyer's risk profile, lifestyle, and goals; not just “make the most money,” but “fit the best business to the person.” Franchise Trends & Business Models to Watch: Still bullish on laundromats for certain profiles (cash-flow, de-risked, lifestyle), but now sees huge growth in health & wellness, home services, and viral consumer brands (e.g. PopUp Bagels, HRT clinics, anything innovating with AI or “cult” followings). Anticipates continued “displacement” of white-collar jobs by AI; business ownership, franchising, and “betting on yourself” are the safest long-term play for income and autonomy.

Jeffrey Epstein's reach into academia was not an accident—it was a deliberate campaign of influence, and the institutions that took his money were not naïve. From Harvard University to MIT, prestigious institutions shamelessly accepted millions from Epstein, even after his 2008 conviction for soliciting a minor. He was paraded through campuses, granted offices, and allowed to rub elbows with some of the most powerful intellectuals in the world. Harvard, for example, gave him a personal office and continued to associate with him long after his reputation had been shredded. MIT Media Lab staff referred to him as “Voldemort”—he who must not be named—while simultaneously courting his funding in secret, proving the hypocrisy wasn't subtle, it was baked into the institution.What's more damning is the moral contortionism these institutions employed to justify their partnerships. Academia, which claims to be a beacon of ethics and enlightenment, became a laundromat for Epstein's blood money. Professors, researchers, and administrators who should have known better either stayed silent or openly defended the transactions, rationalizing them with talk of “advancing science” or “unrestricted gifts.” In truth, they weren't advancing anything but their own ambitions and budgets. By embracing a convicted predator with open arms, these institutions exposed a rot within academia—where prestige and funding outweighed integrity, and the doors swung open for a monster who knew how to play the game.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Jeffrey Epstein Donated Millions To These Scientists And Institutes

Here's how we figure it: if you appear on our show (the most popular podcast in the world) (look that up) (don't), you automatically become a celebrity. We have listeners all over this planet at least. That makes hardware store assistant manager Winter Burnett a celebrity. During our last Max Fun Drive, we set a stretch goal for new members and said if we hit that goal, one of you Sleepyheads could be the guest celebrity on the show. We hit it and received several excellent pitches. Winter's concept: there are two laundromats in her town of Morris, IL (1.5 hours from Chicago, depending on traffic) so let's look at the similarities and differences between Wash & Dry and Soaps. What kind of machines are there? What's the TV situation? And which one has an adjoining hot dog place that also serves something called pizza puffs? You will be very, very mildly interested as you fall asleep, waking hours later feeling freshly laundered.Go to www.maximumfun.org/join and select Sleeping with Celebrities to support our show.Hey Sleepy Heads, is there anyone whose voice you'd like to drift off to, or do you have suggestions on things we could do to aid your slumber? Email us at: sleepwithcelebs@maximumfun.org.Follow the Show on:Instagram @sleepwcelebsBluesky @sleepwithcelebsTikTok @SleepWithCelebsJohn is on Bluesky @JohnMoeJohn's acclaimed, best-selling memoir, The Hilarious World of Depression, is now available in paperback.

His advice to aspiring artists centers on carrying a sketchbook everywhere, capturing fleeting ideas, and never stopping one's artistic pursuit. Donald emphasizes the critical importance of networking, highlighting that success often depends more on who you know than what you know. He candidly shares insights about handling rejection, noting that sometimes a rejection says more about the viewer's limitations than the artist's talent. Throughout his career, from working at DreamWorks to creating album covers for metal bands, Donald has demonstrated the value of diversifying artistic skills and income streams. His most profound wisdom lies in understanding that artistic success isn't just about money, but about maintaining creative freedom and continuously pursuing what you love. Finally, Donald tells us about his upcoming solo exhibition at Frame of Reference Art Gallery in Whitefish, Montana, on August 7th!Donald's FASO site:https://www.donaldyatomi.com/Donald's Digital Artwork:https://www.artstation.com/dyatomiDonald's Social Media:https://www.instagram.com/donaldyatomiart/

Are laundromats "the ultimate side hustle," like my guest Jordan Berry described? These simple, local, cash-flowing businesses have been around forever, but surprisingly this is the first time discussing them in detail on the show. Jordan is a former pastor turned laundromat mogul. Along the way, he's become an advocate for the industry through his website and podcast at LaundromatResource.com. Jordan got the idea to buy a laundromat after his wife told him about a family friend quitting his day job in tech after buying one. It wasn't just the income potential that intrigued Jordan. He wanted a business that would generate passive income -- and yield better returns than real estate. Jordan has been able to achieve both of those things through buying laundromats. Tune in to hear: why a laundromat makes a great side hustle and investment vehicle some of the expensive mistakes to avoid where to look for financing and some creative marketing and monetization ideas Full Show Notes: 10 Reasons to Buy a Laundromat Business as Your Next Side Hustle New to the Show?

1976 - Lewiston, Maine. In the early hours of a November morning in 1976, Dorothy “Dotty” Milliken left her home  to do some late-night laundry in Lewiston, Maine. She never made it back. A local paperboy found her body just before dawn, outside Beal's Laundromat. She had been beaten to death in what police called a frenzied attack. Tonia was just seven when her mother was killed—a traumatic loss that reshaped the course of her family's future. In the years since, she's worked to understand what happened. Now, a new book revisits the case, pulling together decades of theories, suspects, new interviews, and questions to form a possible picture of that night. But police are still missing a critical piece of the puzzle: the person that knows who killed Dorothy Milliken. If you have any information on the murder of Dorothy Milliken, please contact the Maine State Police Major Crimes Unit South at ⁠(207)624-7076⁠ x9. The family is offering a $10k reward for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the person(s) responsible for this crime.

1976 - Lewiston, Maine. On a cold November morning in 1976, 27-year-old Dorothy Milliken—Dotty to those who loved her—was found bludgeoned to death outside Beal's Laundromat in Lewiston, ME.

A survivor. A mother. This is her story.  This is part 1 of 2.
