Chris and Catalina are entering one of the biggest transitions of their lives.
After years of military service, Chris in active duty and Catalina in the reserves, they’re relocating from Hawaii to Georgia with their young family and thinking deeply about what comes next.
With two small children at home, long-term stability and control over their future became the priority.
Rather than stepping into another traditional job after military life, they decided to pursue franchise ownership in the home services HVAC industry, an essential, needs-based business with strong demand and veteran-focused incentives.
With guidance through the process, they identified a model that aligned with their leadership experience, discipline, and long-term goals.
“They were extremely focused on building something sustainable,” Marc said. “They wanted independence, but they also wanted structure and franchising gave them both.”
Now, they’re building the foundation for a business that will grow alongside their family and their next chapter is officially underway. The uniform may change, but the mission stays the same. Congrats to Chris and Catalina!

Buying a franchise isn’t something you rush into, and it’s definitely not right for everyone. In this episode of the Zero to Profitable Franchise Podcast, we break down how our team evaluates whether someone is actually a good fit for franchising before they ever invest. We talk about time commitment, personality, coach-ability, capital, and motivation, plus the red flags we see when someone is moving for the wrong reasons. If you’re considering a franchise in 2026 and want an honest framework to decide whether this path makes sense for you, this episode will help you think clearly before taking the next step.
That’s a wrap for this week’s Franchise Empire newsletter.
