#14: Karie Johnson is the owner of barre3 Scottsdale and Paradise Valley, two fitness studios here in the Greater Phoenix Area. Karie takes us through what it's actually like investing in a franchise, telling us the actual number and more importantly, telling us her success story.

• How Karie pivoted from teaching to investing into barre3
