Introduction: A New Chapter After a Career in IT

After spending 30 years in the IT industry, Lewis Blau found himself grappling with burnout and the looming fear of a potential reorganization at his company. With these concerns weighing heavily on his mind, Lewis began searching for new opportunities that could provide him with both professional fulfillment and stability. His search eventually led him to explore franchise ownership—a path he hadn’t fully considered before. However, finding the right franchise proved to be more challenging than expected, leaving Lewis uncertain about his next steps. That’s when Vetted Biz and Tara Merchant, a franchise consultant from Franchise Performance Group, entered the picture, helping Lewis find the perfect fit and build the confidence he needed to move forward.
