At 20, Caleb Owens took over a $525K mitigation department that had bad hires, heavy churn, and stolen equipment. Fifteen months later it was running at $1.5M with 37% profit.
Then he left, liquidated his Roth IRA at 23, and started his own company.
In this episode, host Clinton James sits down with Caleb Owens, owner of Kern Water Damage Restoration in Bakersfield, California. Caleb is 24, came up through demo and containment work, and is now building AI systems most restoration companies twice his size don't have.
You'll walk away with:
How he grew a small mitigation department more than 3x in profit in 15 months
Why his first AI build wasted four hours on a 20-minute email, and what he changed
How he connects calls, texts, email, and documentation so AI can actually help
How his system drafts carrier responses overnight
Why most owners let their inbox decide their priorities
How he answers the premium-increase objection with real numbers
Why he gives his whole SOP library away for free
