b'Megan Reilly is the COO and co-owner of Tippi Toes\\xae, an international franchisor of children\\u2019s dance. For more than a decade, Megan has helped franchise owners build and grow their own businesses around the world. \\n\\nMegan and her sister/business partner Sarah appeared on Shark Tank, where they were awarded a deal by Mark Cuban. They decided to decline the deal and grow their business on their own, and have since built 35 franchises, written and published children\\u2019s music that\\u2019s hit the Billboard Charts, and reached number 1 on iTunes. She is also the creator and host of the Who Is Your Momma Podcast, where she speaks to the mothers of some of the world\\u2019s most successful CEOs, athletes, and entertainers.\\n\\nThis Episode\\u2019s Heavy-hitter\\u2019s:\\n\\nTippi Toes was actually founded as the result of a college football game. Megan\\u2019s sister Sarah was working as a waitress and wanted the day off to go to a game. When her boss told her she wouldn\\u2019t have a job when she came back, she called their bluff and got fired. All at once she had to keep paying her car note\\u2013 and Tippi Toes was born.\\n\\nMegan actually became a licensed dietician even though she knew early on that she wanted to grow Tippi Toes with her sister. Her education and certification served as a safety net that allowed her to pursue Tippi Toes with full-force, knowing that she would always be able to find a job if she needed it.\\n\\nMegan\\u2019s family actually applied for Tippi Toes to appear on Shark Tank without her knowing. Although she ended up not taking the deal that Mark Cuban offered because they weren\\u2019t able to negotiate agreeable terms, she remarks on Cuban\\u2019s receptiveness and communication throughout the process.\\n\\nFranchising was never necessarily the goal for Tippi Toes, but after a trip to the West Coast that didn\\u2019t go as planned, someone recommended that they franchise and the wheels started turning.\\n\\nOn her podcast while speaking with Sarah Blakley\\u2019s mom, she made a realization about promoting creativity with her kids by creating structured time to always find something to do when they tell her that they\\u2019re bored.\\n\\n\\nFor more, check out https://www.tippitoesdance.com/ and her podcast, Exclusively on the FREE BYLR RADIO APP\\n\\nIf you enjoyed this episode, please leave a review: https://ratethispodcast.com/thepozcast\\n\\n#thePOZcast is brought to you by our friends at Interseller \\u2013 the prospecting + outreach platform of recruiters and sellers.
