Hello everyone!! Today’s guest on "All Things Considered Franchising" is a truly incredible woman.

Lashae Bacon. Apache Helicopter pilot and entrepreneur. She is the owner of Health By Bacon, a new twist on healthy vending machines where the customer/partner gets to help choose what goes into the machine.

Lashae has been in the Army for over eight years and is one of only a very few female Apache Helicopter pilots. In addition to the military, she also has her own personal training business. She has her personal training certificates from Body Design University in Atlanta and from the American Council on Exercise.

When asked for words of wisdom for people considering business ownership, Lashae states, “Don’t get discouraged whenever something isn’t going in the timeline you want. There may be obstacles that you have to go through, but nothing is stopping you.”

Lashae also stated that she sought advice from half a dozen owners for advice, tips, and strategies. Based on their advice, she decided the vending machine industry was right for her, especially with the lower cost, the lower overhead, and the lower amount of time needed to maintain them. She also felt this was a great business to transition into from the military.

One great point Lashae makes is that one day if she decides to transition into something else, she always has the option of selling it, passing it off, or carrying it along with her.

She is currently placing Health By Bacon machines in Oklahoma City.
