Welcome back to the Laundromat Resource Podcast! In this episode, host Jordan Berry is joined by Amy Berkowitz—an inspiring entrepreneur whose laundromat journey is packed with lessons, laughs, and real-world wisdom you don’t want to miss.

Whether you’re thinking about buying your first laundromat, already own one, or are exploring pickup and delivery services, Amy’s story is truly for everyone. She takes us through her pivot from a longtime marketing strategist to laundromat owner after an unexpected career shakeup. Get ready to hear how she launched a branded pickup and delivery business, leveraged her industry know-how to score not one, not two, but three laundromats—including a “free” location—and wove her personal story into a nonprofit supporting breast cancer patients with free laundry service.

As you listen, you’ll get an inside look at the importance of building a strong brand, the power of networking, taking bold risks, and betting on yourself. Amy holds nothing back as she shares the challenges and triumphs of entrepreneurship, the realities of funding your dreams, and how to find true joy—even when you’re knee-deep in dirty laundry.

If you’re seeking practical advice, a dose of inspiration, or just want to hear a great story from someone who truly “gets it,” this episode’s for you. Grab your favorite beverage, settle in, and enjoy this uplifting conversation with Amy Berkowitz on the Laundromat Resource Podcast!
