Running a small business isn’t just about profits — it’s about people. In this episode of Behind the Small Business, I sit down with Ty, owner of Restoration Station Colorado, to talk about what it’s like to be in the business of repairing homes after disasters like floods, fires, and mold damage — and how his mission goes beyond the work itself.

Ty shares his story of starting fresh in Colorado, building a business from the ground up, and staying committed to honesty, integrity, and compassion — even when dealing with tough jobs and insurance headaches. We dive into:

• How he approaches every job with respect and care for the customer

• The challenges of being a one-man operation and growing sustainably

• The importance of giving back to the community (meals for families, coat drives, and more)

• Staying motivated and grounded through faith, perseverance, and a strong support system

If you’re a business owner looking for inspiration — or just want to hear a story about what it means to do business with integrity — this is one you won’t want to miss.
