PuroClean of The Big Island 
Aloha from PuroClean of The Big Island — where the lava flows might slow us down, but we never stop moving forward! 🌋
Last week, we packed our bags (and maybe a few malasadas) and made our way to the mainland for something truly special: an Impact Group session hosted by our awesome PuroClean ‘ohana at PuroClean of Central Southwest Houston. And let us tell you — it was more than just meetings and handshakes. It was collaboration at its finest, and we’re stoked to share the highlights.
🤔 What Even Is an Impact Group?
Great question! Think of an Impact Group as a restoration mastermind — a gathering of brilliant PuroClean franchise owners who share ideas, swap battle stories, and challenge each other to grow stronger, smarter, and more successful.
It’s not your average sit-down. It’s iron sharpening iron, and every time we leave one of these sessions, we’re fired up and ready to take our game to the next level.
👋 Who Showed Up?
We were lucky to be in some seriously inspiring company:
- Hayley & Jiri Smetana – PuroClean of Southlake
- Eleanor Terlecki – PuroClean of Auburn, Maine
- Gregory Arianoff – That’s us! Repping PuroClean of The Big Island, baby! 🌴
- Chad Crowther – Their Rockstar Regional Director
- And of Course – John Villon, Nilo Quiroz, Carole Martinez, and Team PuroClean of Central Southwest Houston
Each person brought unique wisdom and energy to the table — and trust us, the conversations were 🔥.
🔍 What We Covered (A.K.A. “How to Level Up Your Business”)
The two-day deep dive was all about lifting the hood on restoration operations and seeing how we can all fine-tune the engine. Here are some hot topics we tackled:
- 🧩 Departmental Deep-Dive – From Mitigation to HR, we explored how PuroClean Central Southwest Houston structures and runs their powerhouse team.
- ✅ OSHA Safety Training – Because clean work is safe work.
- 💼 TPA Strategies – Making those third-party jobs smoother than a Kona breeze.
- 📊 Financial Health – Open books, honest talk, and real ways to drive profitability.
- 👷 Hiring & Growth – How to build a team that’s ready for anything (even wild pigs in the yard — yes, it’s a thing here!).
💡 Takeaways That Blew Us Away
Every Impact Group leaves us with golden nuggets — here are a few that really stuck:
- Hold weekly leadership meetings to keep your team aligned and motivated.
- Use KPI dashboards to track performance like a boss.
- Nail the onboarding process with clear checklists and a strong culture from day one.
- Get laser-focused with TPA workflows to stay fast, efficient, and customer-obsessed.
🎯 Work Hard, Play Harder
After soaking up all that knowledge, we took some well-deserved downtime with a little local fun — a team-building range outing. There’s nothing like a bit of friendly fire (pun intended) to wrap up a powerful couple of days.
💬 Final Thoughts from The Big Island
This trip reminded us of what makes PuroClean truly special: we’re not just franchises — we’re family. And when family shares wisdom, supports each other, and dreams big together, amazing things happen.
A huge shoutout to our Houston hosts — you were gracious, generous, and full of aloha. And congratulations to Avi, who couldn’t attend because he was welcoming a brand-new baby boy into the world that day! 🎉
🌟 The Future Is Bright (and Smokin’ in a Good Way)
Here at PuroClean of The Big Island, we’re returning home inspired, energized, and ready to bring the heat (only metaphorically, of course — we’ve had enough fires, thank you very much 🔥). We can’t wait to implement everything we learned and continue serving our community with excellence and heart.
Until next time, Puropact Group fam — mahalo for the memories and the motivation. Let’s keep rising, together. 💪
