Welcome back to The Franchise Life with your host, Stacie Shannon! Today, we dive into an exciting emerging concept: Lindora. Joining us is Lance Freeman. In this episode, Lance introduces Lindora, a brand with a rich history dating back to 1971, recently acquired by Xponential Fitness, the largest global franchise group of health and wellness brands. Former founders, now franchisees, operate 31 clinics primarily in California. Lindora isn't just a weight loss clinic; it's a leader in metabolic health and wellness. Lindora's extensive services include weight loss programs, IV therapy, hormone health (HRT, TRT), GLP-1, Zerona (cold laser), supporting injections, vitamins, and supplements & products. With Ozempic and Weygovy being such widespread weight loss tools today, Lance shares that “yes, we have access to the Ozempic compounds and those types of weight loss medications and more. But again, we're not limited to just that in terms of helping someone lose weight. There's coaching within the model to assist the member with that. There are accountability components to that and other supporting products and supplements that support their weight loss journey.” Lance also highlights how: ⚡Lindora is the only national franchise offering these extensive services to deliver the most effective metabolic health program. ⚡Lindora offers medical oversight in a non-intimidating, inclusive environment. ⚡Lindora appeals to men and women and isn't limited to one gender or group. ⚡Lindora is a 50+-year-old brand with a proven track record, not a fly-by-night. ⚡The Lindora program is built around sustainable weight loss services and has a maintenance program so clients obtain long-lasting results. ⚡Lindora uses FDA-approved Compounding Pharmacies to ensure the quality of medicine and secure supply chains. With its multiple revenue streams, long-term member retention, and supportive franchisor resources, Lindora is poised to stand out in the franchising landscape for investors seeking to impact their communities positively. And here's the kicker: you don't need a medical background to join the Lindora franchise family. For non-medical investors, Lance shares how Lindora will assist in matching investors with a medical professional to help oversee their clinics for a small monthly fee. Join us as we discuss the future of Lindora and its potential to transform lives while offering a rewarding business venture. ✅ Stay Connected With Me.

In this episode, Stacie Shannon dives into the captivating story behind the emerging Anchored Tiny Homes franchise with Co-Founder and CEO Colton Paulhus.  Discover how the initial focus on tiny homes on wheels transformed into a thriving business, especially after the introduction of California's law allowing accessory dwelling units (ADUs) on residential lots. Colton's narrative takes us through the early successes, challenges, and the pivotal moment when Anchored Tiny Homes decided to pivot towards ADUs. Fast forward to 2023, and Anchored Tiny Homes has become a franchise phenomenon, awarding over 60 territories across the United States. Colton reflects on the industry's future, highlighting the increasing importance of ADUs in addressing housing inventory and affordability concerns. The podcast also unveils a new venture – small, affordable houses – expanding Anchored Tiny Homes' reach and impact. Colton shares what type of experience a franchise owner needs: "Our early successful franchisees that are up and rolling and having sales early on like Austin, Texas, Boise, Salt Lake City, are starting to crush it similar to what we've been doing. None of them have construction backgrounds, but they do have sales backgrounds, and they can sell to customers because this product is anywhere from $90,000 to $400,000. So you're selling something other than a T-shirt or a hamburger, right? It's an expensive product; you must convince people to move forward. So we're excited about people who don't have much construction experience because we've laid out the system from A to Z." Join us in this informative and inspiring episode as we explore the fascinating world of Anchored Tiny Homes, offering an affordable housing solution and an enticing franchise opportunity. Whether intrigued by the tiny living movement or considering a franchise investment, this episode is a must-listen.   Thank you for tuning in to "Franchise Life."
