In this episode of The Restoration Rundown, we’re joined by two of the most influential voices in the restoration industry: Brandon Reece and Chris Nordyke, co-founders of Floodlight Consulting Group, hosts of the Head, Heart & Boots podcast, and key leaders inside FP Restoration.
We dive into "The Floodlight Framework"—a foundation built on leadership, culture, systems, identity, and long-term strategy. Together, we break down the exact ingredients needed to build a legacy restoration company: the kind that isn’t just profitable today, but is structured to outlast seasons, trends, and owner burnout.
You’ll hear insights on:
- What a true legacy restoration business actually looks like
- The transition from consulting to leadership roles inside FP Restoration
- Cultural mistakes that keep companies stuck
- The systems every restoration company must master
- Why owner identity and emotional maturity matter more than you think
- The real work leaders must do to build something that lasts
If you’re leading a restoration company and want to build a business that works today and stands the test of tomorrow, this is a must-listen conversation.
