This week we welcome Benjamin Burt, Fibrenew franchise owner.
Ben is a veteran of the United States Army's 3rd Special Forces Group.
He is a former Advanced Tactical Medical Provider and Operations NCOIC for the Special Warfare Medical Group (Airborne) at the John F.
Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School.
After seperating from the military, Ben was faced with the challenge of managing his civilian career choices with an ever changing family life.
Ben had a desire to work for himself in an industry that would provide recession proof security and freedom to grow.
He turned to Fibrenew.
Fibrenew specializes in the repair, restoration, and renewal of leather, plastic, vinyl, fabric, and upholstery.
Ben talks about how the franchise opportunities, offered by Fibrenew, fit with his values and goals.
We discuss his tips and tricks to starting out right as a small business owner, and as a new franchise owner.
He discusses the factors every veteran should look at when deciding on the right franchise, and provides important resources to help every former military person succeed.
Ben outlines how organizations like Franchise Opportunities for Veterans and the Commit Foundation, can save veterans from making costly mistakes.
So whether you are transitioning from the military, an unemployed veteran, an underemployed veteran, or just looking to make a career change, this is the episode for you!
