25 - Unleashing the Entrepreneurial Potential of Apparel Restoration and Sustainability with Renewal Logistics' Courtney Folk

Your host, Glenn Poulos, talks with the Co-founder and CEO of Renewal Logistics, Courtney Folk. Courtney's story is a testament to the power of seizing opportunities and the transformative nature of entrepreneurship. Back in 2003, Courtney and her then-boyfriend, now husband, Brian, were dissatisfied with their jobs and hungry for change. With a background in corporate sales and chemistry, respectively, they decided to take a leap of faith into the family business of dry cleaning.Starting with just four small stores, they quickly scaled to become a significant player in Columbia, South Carolina. But it wasn't until they tapped into the insurance restoration market, helping people recover from house fires, that their business truly took off. This pivot led them to become the largest independent apparel restoration company in the US.To learn more about Courtney's work, click HERE and HERE.Think you'd be a great guest on the show?
