Wealth Manager to the Flooring Business- Hear Brad Hawkins' Story
I’m sitting down with Brad Hawkins, a franchisee with Floor Coverings International who went from private wealth management to owning a $2 million+ territory—all self-funded and with just a handful of employees.
In this episode, Brad shares his journey from Wall Street to Main Street, what drew him to franchising, why “the floor is $2 million” in his business, and why following the playbook is key for franchise success. If you're thinking about owning a business, this one’s for you.
