She Went From Customer Support to CEO of a Multi-Million Dollar Business (Part 1/2)
04/11/2026 | 29 mins.#1152 What if you could become a business owner without ever starting your own company? In Part 1 of this two-part episode of Millionaire University, host Brien Gearin sits down with Lisa Somers, CEO of Marketplace SuperHeroes, to explore the often-overlooked concept of intrapreneurship — building entrepreneurial skills, advancing your career, and potentially earning ownership in a business you didn't start. Lisa shares her unconventional journey from working at a trampoline park and studying psychology to becoming CEO of her brother's company, revealing how identifying problems, taking initiative, and continuously learning new skills helped her climb the ranks. Discover how to make yourself an invaluable asset to any organization, demonstrate your worth to negotiate higher pay, and turn your current job into a stepping stone toward greater financial freedom. Plus, Lisa explains how to approach business owners with solutions, create opportunities for advancement, and start thinking like an entrepreneur — even if you're still working a nine-to-five!
What we discuss with Lisa:
+ What is intrapreneurship?

03/11/2026 | 48 mins.#1151 What if you could replace your income in just a few years by following a proven business playbook instead of starting from scratch? In this special cross-promotion from Nick Loper’s The Side Hustle Show, Nick sits down with franchise consultant Greg Mohr (FranchiseMaven.com) to break down whether buying a franchise can be a smart “semi-absentee” side hustle.

They also dig into what kinds of franchises are most realistic part-time — especially home services and senior care — plus common financing paths like SBA loans and how to think about franchises as both cash flow and an eventual sellable asset!

+ Franchises vs. startups
+ Semi-passive ownership model
+ Talk to franchisees first
+ Service franchises advantages
