What does it really take to build a business that’s profitable, people-first, and full of purpose? In this episode, Molly Moran sits down with JC Chanowsky, Navy veteran turned serial entrepreneur, fun-preneur, and CEO of Cape Fear Pro Wash and Patriot Illumination, for a bold, honest, and seriously inspiring conversation.

JC shares his rollercoaster journey from military life to building a seasonal service business that rakes in nearly a million dollars in just a few months, all while creating team cultures rooted in fun, loyalty, and heart. From losing key employees right before a major event to scaling back up stronger than ever, JC doesn’t hold back on the behind-the-scenes lessons in leadership, resilience, and why failures often hold the seeds of your biggest wins.
