Ken Wimberly on Turning Failure Into Laundry Luv's Community-First Model
Episode 19
Tuesday, 15 September, 2026
Before Ken Wimberly became chief visionary officer and co-founder of Laundry Luv, he watched an $800,000 business go to zero — and had to call every investor to tell them so. On this episode of Full Cycle, host Matt DeWolf talks with Wimberly about the anxiety and depression that followed, the morning routine and structure that pulled him out of it, and how a real estate deal in Abilene, Texas, turned into a laundromat company built around one idea: the store should feel less like a chore and more like a community hub. Wimberly also shares how his military school background led Laundry Luv to run on EOS (the Entrepreneurial Operating System), why every store manager gets a $50 budget to solve problems without asking permission, and the reading habit he credits with 10 to 15 extra books a year. This episode is sponsored by Eastern Funding.
