Schedule a call with Alan today at https://athletetoowner.com/ready 🎙️ Episode 17 - In this episode of The Franchise Champion Show, Alan interviews Jennifer and Gordon Raney, a husband-and-wife franchise power couple who went from corporate careers to building a multi-million dollar, multi-state mobility franchise empire before exiting and co-founding their own franchise brand, Liftology. The Raneys share how a family health crisis opened their eyes to the mobility equipment industry, leading them to grow so fast they broke their lease within the first month. Jennifer reveals why she quit her corporate job just 60 days into the business, and Gordon explains the unique timing that led them to this industry at the front end of the baby boomer age wave. They discuss the realities of franchise ownership, why they chose to become franchisors after their exit, what makes Liftology different, and the 25-year runway of opportunity still ahead in the mobility industry. This episode is packed with insights on customer service, scaling multi-state operations, building team culture, and what it really takes to succeed as a franchise owner. 🔗 Resources & Mentions • Athlete to Owner Franchise Coaching: https://athletetoowner.com • Schedule a free consultation: https://athletetoowner.com/ready • Download "The Franchise Fit Playbook" for free: https://athletetoowner.com/playbook • Jennifer & Gordon Raney - Liftology Co-Founders • Subscribe to The Franchise Champion Show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or your favorite podcast platform • Leave us a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ review if you enjoyed the episode—we appreciate your support!
