    Tim shares his thoughts on the significance of the painting industry, spotlighting That 1 Painters’ comprehensive range of 18 services, encompassing everything from indoor and outdoor painting to deck treatments and minor carpentry fixes. He highlights distinctive offerings such as cabinet painting and brick treatments utilizing lime washing products.

    The conversation extends to the support and resources furnished by Resi Brands, including an in-house marketing department, an appointment and connection center, and mentorship from esteemed leadership authority John C. Maxwell.
    Tim shares that prior painting experience is not a prerequisite for prospective franchisees, emphasizing the substantial potential for recurring revenue from loyal clientele and new homeowners. Tune in to explore the dynamic landscape of the painting services industry and discover how That 1 Painter is reshaping the franchise landscape.

    Ep. 68- Culture In A Franchise. How Important Is It & How to Attain A Positive One

    Ep. 68- Culture In A Franchise. How Important Is It & How to Attain A Positive One

    In today’s episode of “The Franchise Life,” Stacie sits down with Paul Linenberg, President of Gotcha Covered, to discuss the importance of building a culture within your franchise organization.
    Paul shares the key elements that contribute to Gotcha Covered's positive franchise culture, such as strongly emphasizing values such as authenticity and a client-focused approach. This commitment to a consultative and client-centric model has defined their successful business strategy and earned them an outstanding 4.9 out of 5 Google Review stars across 170 locations. When asked, “How does Gotcha Covered maintain their positive culture?” Paul shares, “I think I’ve realized, or it’s my belief right now, I could be completely wrong in this, but what I’m communicating about our culture is that it’s shared. It’s not owned by corporate. It’s not directed by corporate. I don’t know how to say it, but we establish our views and values and invite people to share in that, but we can’t have our owners looking to corporate.”
    While discussing brands that require a high level of employees, Stacie shares that, in her experience, retaining employees should be easy if you provide a good work environment and a good culture where you can foster and grow individuals within it. However, if you constantly have a turnover of employees, then that is a sign that perhaps you need to look inward, as there might be something wrong with the culture you’re providing. If you're seeking insights on fostering a positive business culture, don't miss this episode featuring Paul Linenberg. With a lifelong dedication to cultivating favorable business environments, Paul shares invaluable lessons on building a thriving workplace culture.
    Tune in for expert guidance on this essential aspect of business success.

    EP 66 - Lindora: Transforming Health & Wealth in Franchising

    EP 66 - Lindora: Transforming Health & Wealth in Franchising

    Welcome back to The Franchise Life with your host, Stacie Shannon! Today, we dive into an exciting emerging concept: Lindora. Joining us is Lance Freeman.
    In this episode, Lance introduces Lindora, a brand with a rich history dating back to 1971, recently acquired by Xponential Fitness, the largest global franchise group of health and wellness brands. Former founders, now franchisees, operate 31 clinics primarily in California. Lindora isn't just a weight loss clinic; it's a leader in metabolic health and wellness.
    Lindora’s extensive services include weight loss programs, IV therapy, hormone health (HRT, TRT), GLP-1, Zerona (cold laser), supporting injections, vitamins, and supplements & products.
    With Ozempic and Weygovy being such widespread weight loss tools today, Lance shares that “yes, we have access to the Ozempic compounds and those types of weight loss medications and more. But again, we're not limited to just that in terms of helping someone lose weight. There's coaching within the model to assist the member with that.
    There are accountability components to that and other supporting products and supplements that support their weight loss journey.”
    Lance also highlights how:
    ⚡Lindora is the only national franchise offering these extensive services to deliver the most effective metabolic health program.
    ⚡Lindora offers medical oversight in a non-intimidating, inclusive environment.
    ⚡Lindora appeals to men and women and isn’t limited to one gender or group.
    ⚡Lindora is a 50+-year-old brand with a proven track record, not a fly-by-night.
    ⚡The Lindora program is built around sustainable weight loss services and has a maintenance program so clients obtain long-lasting results. ⚡Lindora uses FDA-approved Compounding Pharmacies to ensure the quality of medicine and secure supply chains.
    With its multiple revenue streams, long-term member retention, and supportive franchisor resources, Lindora is poised to stand out in the franchising landscape for investors seeking to impact their communities positively.
    And here's the kicker: you don't need a medical background to join the Lindora franchise family. For non-medical investors, Lance shares how Lindora will assist in matching investors with a medical professional to help oversee their clinics for a small monthly fee.
    Join us as we discuss the future of Lindora and its potential to transform lives while offering a rewarding business venture.
