In this Built4Profit Podcast episode, hosts interview Ethan Fields of Bloomin’ Blinds in Nashville about his transition from a pharmaceutical career to owning a window coverings franchise. Ethan explains how Bloomin’ Blinds has expanded from repairs into interior window coverings like blinds, shades, shutters, drapery, motorization, and outdoor products such as retractable screens and awnings, noting shades as a major current trend. 

He shares why he pursued business ownership to be more present for his family, how he found the franchise through a LinkedIn outreach and a six-month discovery process, and why he ultimately left his job six months after launching in 2022 when the semi-absentee model wasn’t working.
