  Signing Off: The Last Disaster Podcaster

  Sep 23, 20263 min

  After five seasons, this is the last episode of the Disaster Podcaster. The show went quiet in May. This episode explains why, what I took from doing it, and what I'm doing instead. This summer was a very interesting one for our small company, with major changes, including key personnel. It just felt like a fresh start was in order. What's next: Modern Restoration. A podcast for restoration owners building a business, and a self, that lasts. New episodes every other week. Character, leading the team you have, knowing your numbers, planning ahead, and where this industry is going. No carrier fights. No drama. Honest conversations and something you can use on Monday. Search Modern Restoration in the app you're listening in right now and hit follow. Or find it here: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/modern-restoration/id6815314729 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7y1A54DadhsOiAqdfWIb4t Substack: https://klarkbrown.substack.com/s/modern-restoration Thanks to everyone who listened over five seasons.

  Mar 20, 202634 minS5

  <p>Tell me if you have asked THIS questions: How long do I, as a new restoration owner, have to still be On-Call?Every restoration owner asks it eventually.This episode started with a social media post from a new operator asking that exact question. The thread blew up. Thirty-year veterans are still on call. Ten-year owners who never escaped it. And a whole lot of limiting beliefs are being passed down like they're wisdom.They're not.The real answer isn't about tenure or timelines, really. It's about systems. Most restoration companies either don't have them, don't trust them, or...
