How does a life of service shape the way you lead a business? In this episode of Built for Ownership, host and fellow Veteran Julie Davis sits down with Gayle Patrick of Dryer Vent Wizard® and Lee Droog of Mr. Electric® to discuss their journeys from military service to franchise ownership. Through candid stories, Gayle and Lee share the lessons, challenges, and opportunities that shaped their paths and how the leadership skills they developed in the military influence the way they run their businesses today. Tune in for a conversation about the unique experiences of women Veterans, finding purpose through entrepreneurship, and continuing to serve by leading businesses in their communities. Built for Ownership is a Neighborly® podcast highlighting the stories, experiences, and entrepreneurial journeys of Veterans. Through conversations with Veteran franchise owners, industry leaders, and military-transition advocates, we explore how military experience can translate into business ownership and the resources available to help you take the next step.
