About this episode

Jesse A. Lewis discusses his business focused on recovering personal property after disasters and the importance of relationships and sales skills in entrepreneurship.

In this episode of the Kanawha Valley Hustlers podcast, I talk with Jesse A. Lewis of Blue Kangaroo Pack Outs of River Cities in Huntington, West Virginia. Jesse helps people recover personal property after fire, water damage, or a natural disaster. His team packs out items, documents them, cleans them, restores them, stores them, and returns them when the property is ready. What stands out to me is that this is not a moving company. Every item is photographed, barcoded, and tracked through the process. Jesse talks about starting the business two and a half years ago and learning that things do not move as fast as you think they will. He also shares how important relationships are with referral partners, insurance companies, customers, and his team. Right now, his biggest challenge is awareness. People often tell him they wish they had known about Blue Kangaroo sooner. Jesse believes every entrepreneur needs sales skills because you are always selling your company, your vision, and yourself. His core belief is faith in the idea, even when business tests you.
