In this episode, host Matt DeWolf sits down with Cristina Iacobelli, owner of College Coin Laundry in Oceanside, Calif.. With over 31 years of experience in the laundromat industry, Cristina shares her journey from entering the business as a young mom, to running her laundromat solo for 25 years after buying out her family and navigating life as a single woman business owner.

The conversation covers the unique challenges and proud moments that come with being a woman in an industry that is heavily male, but Cristina talks about the importance of hands-on involvement, debunking the myth of passive income, and how building operational confidence and learning the technical side of the business changed her approach. 

Cristina offers practical advice for newcomers and industry veterans alike: don't be afraid to dive in, keep learning, and remember that in the end, it's all about serving people.

Thanks for giving us a turn.
