Money and the Mattress Present: Finding Freedom Through Franchising with Kim Boike

In this episode of Money and the Mattress, host Kim Miner sits down with Kim Boike, a former elementary school teacher turned Career Ownership Coach™ with The Entrepreneur’s Source®, to talk about redefining success, flexibility, and financial independence through franchising.

After nearly three decades in education, Kim Boike decided it was time for a change — one that offered freedom, flexibility, and purpose beyond the classroom. What began as her husband’s curiosity about business ownership turned into a shared journey of discovery that led Kim to become a franchise owner herself, helping others explore what’s possible.

Kim explains how she guides clients through a thoughtful process of identifying their goals, needs, and expectations before ever talking about specific franchise brands. From understanding income, lifestyle, wealth, and equity (ILWE) goals to using assessments like DISC and You 2.0, she helps people uncover the right path — whether that’s franchising, a new corporate direction, or launching a business from scratch.

Kim’s story is a reminder that it’s never too late to reinvent yourself — and that the right guidance can make all the difference when exploring business ownership.

Tune in now to hear how Kim helps others find clarity, confidence, and control over their next chapter through franchising.
