In this episode of the Next to Nunn Podcast, Amy welcomes Joe Fincher, owner of Best Option Restoration of West County, for a conversation filled with entrepreneurial insight, leadership philosophy, and real talk about building a business from the ground up. Joe shares his journey from corporate life in FinTech to launching a full-service emergency restoration company—handling water, fire, mold, and more—with the goal of not only restoring homes, but caring for people in their most stressful moments.
Joe talks openly about the challenges of work-life balance, the emotional rollercoaster of entrepreneurship, and the importance of delegation in creating a business that can thrive without burning out the owner. He also reflects on his family’s influence, his passion for community, and the long-term vision of building a “Stanley Cup-level” team.
