  • Robert & Chelsey Pegram: Entrepreneurial By Nature

    Robert and Chelsey Pegram, are Fibrenew franchise owners in Virginia. They vibrate with entrepreneurial enthusiasm and energy and they simply love what they do!

    Prior to coming on board with Fibrenew, the couple was running their own landscaping business but were having issues finding their place in a very crowded market and were stagnating due to what Robert refers to as a lack of support and resources. That's where the systems and support of a franchise looked appealing to them and they decided to make the switch and started Fibrenew Hampton Roads in August of 2021.
    They have lots to share about their journey and offer some sage advice for fellow entrepreneurs looking to start new a venture.

  • Planning & Goal Setting

    In this episode, we sat down with Fibrenew's support leaders Al Crnjac, Scott Neal, Michael Carter, Chad Hendry, Paul Gingras and Bruce Nurse.

    We talked about what each one of them is planning for the year ahead, and what they want to achieve and see happen in their own businesses.

    We also stepped through a time machine exercise and imagined winding the clock back to their 1st or 2nd year of operation, and knowing what they know now, what would they be focused on in building and growing their businesses.
