The Power of Franchising: You’re in Business for Yourself, Not By Yourself
Description
In this episode, Christina Criniti-Dear, Director of Operations at Zoom Drain and owner of two Florida franchises, shares how she went from answering phones to running the show. She explains why every great leader should start at the bottom, how empathy isn’t innate but learned through experience, and what it really takes to build a thriving franchise from the ground up. Christina opens up about the lessons that shaped her leadership style: from owning every mistake to leading with clarity and purpose. She also pulls back the curtain on the franchise model, showing how it gives entrepreneurs the freedom to build something of their own with a proven roadmap.
