My guest today started his first "real" business almost 15 years ago at the age of 21 and equipped with a stack of homemade flyers and his Mom's SUV. This company is Junkluggers, a junk removal and dumpster rental company -- with a twist -- that contributes to the communities they serve and the environment by donating, recycling, and supporting local causes.

What started as a side hustle in 2004 has grown from a one-person show to an Inc. 5000 company serving 60 markets in 13 states. Since their inception, Junkluggers has also become an emerging franchise brand, with a quickly growing number of franchise partners opening around the country.

Josh Cohen and Junklugger have been ranked as one of the fastest growing companies for the past three years on the Inc. 5000 list and featured in many top media outlets including Inc, Huffington Post, Forbes, Kiplinger's, Franchise world, Esquire and more.
