Turning Junk Into Opportunity | The Entrepreneurial Journey

What do you do when the business you built starts breaking you?

In this episode, Dave sits down with Jeff Hill, Founder & CEO of RePurpose Center and franchise owner of 1-800-GOT-JUNK?, to talk about resilience, reinvention, and building a business with real impact.

After scaling his company through the early 2000s, Jeff was hit by the 2008 recession, major financial pressure, and a cancer diagnosis all at once. Instead of walking away, he rebuilt and eventually launched RePurpose Center, a company focused on keeping usable goods out of landfills and connecting them with people and organizations that need them.

Jeff and Dave talk about entrepreneurship, partnerships, leadership during difficult seasons, and why success means more than just growth. This episode is a powerful reminder that sometimes the hardest moments shape the most meaningful businesses.
