How Alex and Myriam Guerrero Built Trust, Culture, and a Tint World Empire in El Paso | Tint World Franchisees
Alex and Myriam Guerrero didn't plan on becoming franchise owners — Alex stumbled into it at a USO transition event when a franchise broker showed up and offered a presentation. Four years later, they're running a Tint World location in El Paso, scaling to three stores, and building the kind of franchisee-franchisor trust that most brands spend years trying to manufacture. This conversation gets into what it really takes to build a business with your spouse, what the franchising industry is still getting wrong with veterans, and why legacy franchisees don't need another broadcast — they need a direct conversation.
In this episode:
What Alex learned about veterans and the franchising knowledge gap — and what he's doing about it
How he and Myriam built a grow-from-within culture they can protect as they scale
Why their relationship with their franchisor works — and what it would take to replicate that across a network
Guest: Alex and Myriam Guerrero, Franchisees, Tint World Host: Katherine LeBlanc, Fractional CMO | Apollo CMO
