CTN #24 – Kacie talks to Heather Adams about franchising as a path into civic science entrepreneurship
In this episode, host Kacie speaks with Heather Adams, owner of Snapology of Atlanta East, the show's first civic science entrepreneur to build through a franchise. Heather shares how a career in early childhood education and years as a preschool franchisee led her to buy into a STEM enrichment brand, and what it takes to make an established model succeed in your own community. They discuss choosing a franchise that fits your values, why she prioritized program quality over short-term profit in year one, the challenge of knowing when to delegate during rapid growth, and how a mobile business model helps her reach kids across Atlanta who haven't yet discovered STEM is for them.
