I was thrilled to join the team at Ironclad Restoration Marketing for a special episode of Restoration Rundown! It was a fantastic opportunity to sit down with host Ben Ricciardi and share my journey and passion for reshaping and elevating the industry through my role as Editor-in-Chief here at Restoration & Remediation Magazine.

During our conversation, we explored a range of important topics, including the upcoming Experience in Punta Gorda, Florida. This event is a cornerstone for bringing together leaders and innovators in our field, and I couldn’t be more excited about the opportunities it presents to inspire change and collaboration.

We also discussed actionable ways to help shape the future of our industry, a subject that’s close to my heart. I truly believe in the power of innovation, teamwork, and forward-thinking to create a lasting impact, and it was amazing to dive into these ideas during the episode. One of my favorite aspects of connecting with fellow industry professionals is the opportunity to learn, grow, and exchange insights that help inform and strengthen our shared vision for the future.

If you're as passionate about driving progress in the restoration field as I am, I encourage you to check out this episode. It’s packed with insights, inspiration, and practical advice that I hope will resonate with restoration professionals everywhere. Together, we can move the industry forward!

Respectfully,

Kayla McGowan
Editor-in-Chief
