Welcome back to the Laundromat Resource Podcast! In this episode, host Jordan Berry is joined by entrepreneur and philanthropist Amanda Barkey for a deep dive into something every laundromat owner—big or small—needs to hear: how to break through business plateaus by implementing proven systems. Amanda, an expert EOS Implementer, shares how the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) and the book "Traction" completely transformed her own family business—taking them from serving just 63 kids to over 10,000 families a year—and allowed her to step back from day-to-day operations. You'll hear about her personal journey from humble beginnings in Canada to entrepreneurial success in Orange County and Hawaii, the powerful tools EOS provides for building a clear business vision and accountability, and why finding the right people for the right seats is crucial at every stage, whether you have one laundromat or a thriving portfolio. Plus, get a sneak peek at the upcoming Laundromat Accelerator event in Hawaii, where Amanda will be presenting even more actionable insights.

Grab your notebook—this episode is packed with game-changing advice to help you professionalize your laundromat business, level up your leadership, and ultimately live the life and enjoy the freedom you got into business for. Let's get started!
