Chelsea Mihalko Trimbath is the Vice President of Mihalko’s Fire & Water Restoration. She is a second-generation owner, taking over the family business from her father.
In this conversation, Chelsea is authentic and open about the struggles she faced going from the “old guard” to a new one, the cultural changes that had to happen, the difficult decisions she had to make with top performers who were toxic to the company, and what it’s like to still have her dad in the office next door.
With Baby Boomers reaching retirement age and phasing out of their companies, Chelsea’s story is one many restorers can relate to and learn from.
This episode is part of a special Women in Leadership series of the Restoration Today podcast.
