Veteran On the Move

This episode features Marine Veteran Daniel Feliciano, CEO of Clotheslyne. After flying CH-53 helicopters in the Marine Corps, he worked in the civilian sector at Shell in aviation logistics. After years of working overseas, Daniel returned to the U.S. and explored entrepreneurship. He delves into his journey, from real estate and painting to tackling a common pain point: laundry.

Daniel created Clotheslyne, a unique marketplace that connects people who need laundry done with those who have extra machine capacity. He explains how Clotheslyne goes beyond a typical gig economy app by fostering a sense of community and relationships for a better user experience.

Tune in to hear about Clotheslyne, Daniel's entrepreneurial advice for veterans, and how he's helping people reclaim their time from laundry duty.
