Making the Midlife Leap
Entrepreneur US
|Startups - Fall/Winter 2024
After getting laid off in her early 50s, Keri Gardner decided she wanted to control her own fate-so she bought a franchise with her 401(k).
Sometimes, building the life you want requires a big risk. That's what Keri Gardner realized when she cashed in $100,000 of her retirement savings to buy a franchise. It was November 2020, and she had just been laid off from her executive role at a health company. A franchise recruiter called her and asked, "Do you want to work for anybody else?"
Gardner replied, "Absolutely not. I work really hard. I want to do it for me."
