From Philanthropy to Franchise: Why Patrick Bet Big on Painting

Zero to Profitable Franchise Podcast

What makes someone leave a secure career, start a franchise, and take that leap just weeks before their second child is born?
In this episode of the Zero to Profitable Franchise Podcast, I sit down with Patrick — a first-time franchisee and former executive at a major philanthropic organization.
We talk about what it's really like starting a franchise from scratch, the systems that saved his sanity, how he funded the business, and why he picked Painter1 over a dozen other franchise brands.
If you’re considering franchising, thinking about leaving your job, or want to hear what it’s like building a business with young kids at home — this conversation will hit hard.
