S2 E12: Massage Envy: How Stephen Vereb and Henry Kim Are Building an Empire and Closing The Recruitment Circle.

The Franchise Secrets Podcast returns this week with special guest Stephen Vereb, Massage Envy and Amazing Lash franchisee. Stephen takes us on a journey from being in real-estate and corporate banking to a multi-brand franchisee. It all started with a childhood friend, who gave Stephen a copy of “Rich Dad Poor Dad,” helping spark the entrepreneurial spirit to start his first franchise. From there, one location turned into two and three, forcing Stephen to learn how to scale the businesses on the fly. Erik and Stephen also talk about Franchise Tribe Mastermind and how networking has helped make him a better franchisee.
