Welcome to "The Franchise Life" podcast, hosted by Stacie Shannon! In this episode, Stacie shines a spotlight on a brand dedicated to making a positive impact on people's lives – Nora Mental Health. Joined by Scott Nelowet, the franchise sales expert for Nora, they delve into the essential aspects of this unique franchise opportunity. Nora Mental Health stands out in the realm of mental health services, addressing the critical need for support in an era marked by heightened awareness of mental health issues, particularly post-COVID. Dr. Hardy, the founder, is not just a business visionary but a clinical director deeply committed to providing effective mental health solutions. Scott discusses the genesis of Nora, emphasizing the surge in demand for mental health services and the company's clinician-focused approach. Nora Mental Health offers a franchise model that caters to both clinicians and patients, ensuring a clinician-friendly environment and, consequently, a patient-friendly experience. The podcast delves into the franchise model, its low investment level, and the ease of setup and operation. Even for non-medical professionals, Nora Mental Health provides an opportunity to make a positive impact on their community by offering essential mental health services. Scott highlights the extensive support provided by the corporate office, handling tasks ranging from hiring and location setup to managing Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems, licensure, insurance relationships, billing, and marketing. With Nora taking care of 90% of the back-end work, franchisees can focus on facilitating a conducive environment for clinicians to deliver impactful mental health services. Stacie and Scott discuss the ideal real estate requirements, preferring office spaces in the 800 to 1200 square feet range. This allows for the creation of a welcoming clinic with six small offices, a reception area, and a self-check-in kiosk – keeping overhead costs low. The conversation touches on the potential for growth and the franchisee's role in supporting their location's success. Scott emphasizes the importance of franchisees who align with the mission of addressing the critical need for mental health services and are passionate about the positive impact Nora can make. For prospective franchisees, Nora Mental Health offers a feel-good business model that not only provides financial returns but also contributes to the well-being of the community.

Ep. 53 - Pouring Success: The Hoppin' Franchise Revolution
 
Welcome to a brand new episode of The Franchise Life Podcast! I'm your host, Stacie Shannon, and today we have an exciting episode for you. We're diving into the world of franchising with a spotlight on the emerging brand, Hoppin'.
Joining me is Rich Moyer, the visionary founder and CEO of Hoppin' Brands. In this engaging conversation, we uncover the fascinating journey of Hoppin' from its inception to its incredible growth as a franchisable model.
"I started right out of high school... I sold that company two months into my fourth year. And that was kind of my trampoline to success."
Rich shares his journey from a golf pro to a serial entrepreneur and how Hoppin' was born out of a need for a tech-based solution in the hospitality industry. With a background in sales, commercial real estate, and tech efficiency, Rich brings a wealth of knowledge to the table. The most recent brand in Rich’s portfolio, Hoppin', stands out in the food and beverage space as a high-tech taproom, offering a unique experience that combines self-pour technology with community-driven vibes.
Discover how Hoppin' eliminates the common headaches of traditional bars and restaurants, reduces waste, and maximizes profits. We delve into the self-pour technology that makes Hoppin' a game-changer in the industry.
But what truly sets Hoppin' apart is its franchise model, designed for investors, managers, retirees, and ultimate hosts. "We don't care... we don't want you to have a restaurant or food and beverage background. Not that we don't want it, but we don't recommend it." Unlike many other brands in the space, Hoppin’ welcomes potential franchisees who are interested in food and beverage industry and do not have any of the preconceived notions that would be present in an individual with an extensive restaurant background.
If you're looking for a franchise opportunity that offers low overhead, community engagement, and a supportive corporate marketing strategy, Hoppin' might be the perfect fit for you.
Join us on this insightful journey into the Hoppin' franchise world and discover why it's attracting investors and entrepreneurs alike. Remember, success begins with leadership, and at Hoppin', everyone's a winner.

Welcome to "The Franchise Life" podcast with your host, Stacie Shannon. In this episode, Stacie sits down with special guest Brigadier General (U.S. Army, Retired) Anthony Tata. If you follow "The Franchise Life" regularly, this isn't our traditional franchise brand spotlight. Instead, we've chosen Anthony Tata to spotlight how an Army veteran and the skillsets he acquired in his military career are transferable to being a successful franchise owner!
 
I met Anthony at a Homefront Brands franchise event in Charlotte, NC. Since my initial introduction to Anthony, he and his career accomplishments fascinated me. Anthony's background not only includes his honorable military service but also civilian roles such as Undersecretary of Defense for Policy, the #3 position in the United States Department of Defense, leading his consulting firm (Tata Leadership Group), and serving on the board of directors of publicly traded companies Edge Data Solutions and Coda Octopus, and on the advisory boards of investment bank Academy Securities, Hub Cybersecurity, and Homefront Brands. Not only that, but Anthony has written 16 thriller novels, and his work has been referred to as "Tom Clancy-style military thrillers.
 
Discover the fascinating journey of Anthony Tata, from growing up in a humble family of educators to a distinguished military career that took him to Afghanistan and beyond. Learn how his experiences in leadership, logistics, and diplomacy in the military world translate seamlessly into franchising.
 
Explore the unique franchise opportunities Anthony has chosen to invest in, including car washes and robotics. Understand the significance of private equity firms entering the franchise industry and how it signals a wealth of opportunities for aspiring business owners.
 
Take advantage of this engaging conversation about seizing opportunities, overcoming fear, and creating success in the dynamic world of franchising. Join us on "The Franchise Life" podcast today!
