  1. Born at 40: Allen Odvody Feature Interview with JLD from Entrepreneurs on Fire

    SEP 16

    Born at 40: Allen Odvody Feature Interview with JLD from Entrepreneurs on Fire

    Allen Odvody was a corporate employee with 20 years of experience who turned to entrepreneurship with Fibrenew. Driven by innovation and creativity, Allen is always seeking new adventures, aiming to inspire and make a difference. Key Take Takeaways from this Conversation: 1) We are not defined by how we do on our good days but by how we endure and overcome on our bad days. 2) You got to be involved if you are a franchise owner. There is a low percentage for it to succeed if you will not put time and effort on it. That is why it is important to find a franchise that you love. 3) The power of “do it” is so important. You can be born at any age but you have to do it, believe in yourself and have that level of confidence. Don't be scared in making a mistake, just try not to to the same mistake twice. You will start to grow as you learn from it, it might be hard at first but everything that is worth it is always hard.Enjoy the conversation, and thanks to JLD and the Entrepreneurs on Fire crew!

    From Office Drones to Franchise Owners: Sam and Lisa's Bold Leap into Fibrenew

    In this installment of the Fibrenew Exchange, we sat down with Franchisees Sam and Lisa Orpillia of Fibrenew Rocklin, just north of Sacramento, CA.After working from home for a year and a half during the pandemic, Sam's previous employer called him back to the office - something he didn't want to do. The idea of going back to a 9-5 office grind prompted him to look at alternatives. He discovered Fibrenew through a former co-worker who had opened his own franchise with us, and the rest is history. Sam and Lisa opened Fibrenew Rocklin in January 2023, and in this conversation, they step us through the entire journey to date. From his experience with the initial training to opening their doors to his first few months of operation, what they like and find challenging about running a Fibrenew Franchise, to what the future holds for them and their new venture.
