At CCI, education has always been at the core of what we do. For more than 25 years, we’ve worked alongside laundromat owners and distributors to help them better understand their business, their technology, and the decisions that drive long-term success.

That commitment to education is what led us to launch a brand-new podcast: CCI Drive Time.

Why We Started CCI Drive Time

There are plenty of podcasts aimed at laundromat owners—and many of them are excellent. But one thing we noticed was missing: a podcast specifically focused on vended laundry distributors.

Distributors sit in a unique position in this industry. You’re expected to be experts in equipment, payment systems, store operations, financing, ROI, technology trends, and customer psychology—often all at the same time. And the pace of change in our industry has only made that job more challenging.

CCI Drive Time was created to address that gap.

Who This Podcast Is For

While anyone in the laundromat industry may find value in the conversations, CCI Drive Time is primarily designed for:

• Vended laundry distributors and sales professionals
• Those new to vended laundry sales
• Experienced distributors looking to sharpen their edge
• Owners and operators who want a deeper understanding of distributor-side thinking

These episodes are meant to help distributors become better advisors—not just product sellers.

What You Can Expect From Each Episode

CCI Drive Time episodes are short, focused, and practical—perfect for listening during your commute or between appointments.

Topics include:

• How to position payment systems as operational leverage, not just hardware
• Understanding ROI beyond simple math
• Common mistakes distributors and owners make—and how to avoid them
• Industry trends impacting vended laundry
• Real-world stories from the field

The goal isn’t theory—it’s insight you can actually use.

Why the Name “Drive Time”

Most of the best conversations in this industry don’t happen in boardrooms. They happen in the car—driving to stores, between service calls, or on the way to see customers.

CCI Drive Time is designed to feel like one of those conversations: honest, direct, and rooted in real experience.

Where to Listen

You can find CCI Drive Time on all major podcast platforms:
