Domonique's ingenuity and attitude will inspire you, and her knowledge and experience will probably teach you some things, too!

In today's show, Domonique and Jordan discuss:

* Her entrepreneurship journey

In this week's show, we get down to the foundation of what makes the laundromat business one of the best small businesses in America. Coming off the heels of the 4th of July, Freedom was on my mind and it prompted me to share the two mindsets we can have around how we generate income.

Most of us are familiar with the time and effort economy. This is where our compensation and our net worth are tied directly to how much time and effort we put into our work. Laundromats, however, introduce us to a new world. In this episode, we explore this world and what living by this other economy can do for us!
