From Corporate to Creativity: How Sarah Ross Built a Business of Peace & Purpose

🎧 In this episode of The Franchise Woman Podcast, hosts Rebecca Monet and Tracy Kawa sit down with Sarah Ross, a Fresh Coat Painters franchisee from Austin, Texas, who left a demanding career in corporate accounting to build a painting business—and a life—on her own terms.

Sarah’s journey is full of wisdom, from understanding her strengths and weaknesses, to making faith-based business decisions, to growing her team (including her twin brother!) and creating impact in her community.

🌟 In this episode, we talk about:

• Why franchising was the right fit for Sarah’s analytical, risk-aware personality
• The transition from introverted accountant to confident business owner
• How faith and family shaped her success
• The power of local marketing co-ops and franchise collaboration
• Her guiding motto: Givers Gain

This conversation is a must-listen for anyone considering franchise ownership, career pivots, or purpose-led leadership.
