She built a travel franchise that grew to over 250 locations in just 5 years, which was purchased by an American Express affiliate before the age of the internet. She’s still in the travel business, as part of the internet of things, but she has turned her focus to using her commercial successes and failures to help the BOP. Beth is passionate about the franchise model, and specifically micro-franchising at the BOP, because it provides opportunities for entrepreneurial, hard-working people, regardless of their wealth status, to earn meaningful incomes and live dignified lives.
