We’ve talked about franchises on the show before, but this time we’re talking about the whole process - from purchasing to running to selling - with someone who has done this in the fitness franchise space.

Alex Caputo has worked in a variety of Technical Sales roles and found that he was also drawn to entrepreneurship.  Because he was passionate about fitness, he got started with Orangetheory fitness franchises which he successfully sold and transitioned into car washes. 

Alex and I talk about how his wife introduced him to Orangetheory and why they decided to open their own franchise. He shares some advice about knowing your strengths and weaknesses as business partners and the pros and cons of owning and operating this kind of franchise. And Alex and I discuss the reasons they sold their franchises even though they were still doing really well.
