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!

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.

This addition is a podcast takeover and an interview that originally aired on the Best of The Best in Franchising podcast series. Host James Butler talks with Fibrenew Franchisee Mike Nonelle about a whole bunch of things - including his transition into franchise ownership and what he's learned along the way; they discuss the culture here at Fibrenew, how Mike runs his business, and what the future holds down the road. It's a fantastic conversation and we hope you enjoy listening in!
