Episode #158: Theresa Kolbus - The Dust Devils

Theresa Kolbus was born and raised in Indiana. She grew up in Indianapolis and Greenwood and graduated from Center Grove High School. Trying her hand at Indiana State University and Ivy Tech, she decided college wasn't for her and decided instead to buy her first and only home at 21 and get to work.

After 10 years working at The Hartford Insurance Group, she decided to jump into the field of entrepreneurship. Coming from a family of entrepreneurs, it was in her blood. She and her best friend, Amanda, started The Dust Devils LLC, a residential cleaning service. They wanted to get away from their desk jobs, into something a little more active. A year later, Amanda moved away, and Theresa decided she wanted to grow the business. She had experience facilitating and leading in-class training, leading a QA team and participated in Process Improvement meetings. She also coached both the women and men's roller derby teams for almost 10 years. These two ventures gave her experience in leadership. In 2018, she found a business coach and community who helped her implement systems in her business.

In 2022, she made it to the top 5-7% of cleaning services in terms of revenue, as she continues to focus on making life better for her customers by providing cleaning services you can trust and for her employees by providing an accepting and supportive work environment.
