In this episode, Shannon dives into the world of franchise businesses with expert Liz Leonard. They explore the lesser-known side of franchising, beyond the typical fast food and restaurant models, and discover the wide range of opportunities available in home services, healthcare, education, and more. Liz shares her expertise as a franchise advisor and owner, shedding light on the different types of franchises, the investment required, the skills needed for success, and the key factors to consider when evaluating franchise opportunities. Join us as we uncover the secrets and opportunities of the franchise world with Liz Leonard on Keep What You Earn.

Liz rose through the ranks of the corporate world over a 22-year journey, only to be laid off as a casualty of a merger. As a corporate employee, she had the illusion of security which vanished based on a decision taken by others. That decision afforded her the space to reflect upon what she wanted. She was able to take back control of her future and never put herself in that position again.

Liz now splits her time between running her own business and advising others who are at the same crossroads she was years ago.
