Ep. 72 Patric Richardson: From Childhood Chore to Laundry Evangelist

 

From getting a toy washing machine for Christmas at the age of three to doing laundry with both of his grandmas, Patric Richardson’s love for one of America’s least favorite chores started at a very young age. Patric has a long list of why he loves laundry: he likes cleanliness, it’s an act of service for people you love, satisfaction of starting something and getting it done and the memories that go along with it. 

Patric never stopped learning and following his love of textiles. His unmatched knowledge of clothing led him to pursue the passion and eventually turn it into a career. Patric graduated from the University of Kentucky with a degree in fashion merchandising, apparel and textiles. He has worked at McAlpin’s, Embry’s, Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom. He is the owner of Mona Williams, author of “Laundry Love: Finding Joy in a Common Chore” and host of “The Laundry Guy.” 

In this episode of Flip Your Script with Kristi Piehl, Patric discusses his unique passion, the importance of self-belief and pursuing your dream and some laundry room tips and tricks.
