In this episode, Rick Mayo sits down with Chamberlynn Campuzano, the VP of Corporate Operations at Alloy, to discuss one of the biggest challenges facing new franchisees: the shift from corporate life to business ownership. Many people assume that buying a franchise means they can be hands-off, but the reality is different.

Chamberlynn shares her personal journey from being an executive assistant to leading a team, learning to delegate, and stepping into a leadership role. Rick and Chamberlynn discuss why imposter syndrome is often just inexperience, how franchisees can avoid common pitfalls, and why personal growth is important for success.

Rick and Chamberlynn also cover:

• The differences between corporate jobs and business ownership
• Why franchisees must actively work in their businesses before stepping back
• The importance of leadership, delegation, and personal growth
• How to balance execution with strategic thinking

If you’re considering an Alloy franchise or any form of entrepreneurship, this episode will help you prepare for the mindset shift needed to succeed. Tune in and get the insights you need to confidently step into business ownership!
