What if the path everyone tells you to take… isn’t the one that actually leads to freedom?
For years, owning a wrap shop has been seen as the goal.
More jobs. More clients. More growth.
But what if that path leads to burnout instead?
In this episode, Kado Serri-Charette (Head of Brand and Growth at Tint Wiz) shares his journey from running a full-service wrap shop to walking away and stepping into a completely different role within the industry.
A move that gave him more clarity, more alignment, and a different kind of growth.

Owning a wrap shop is one path.
Not the path.
There are multiple ways to succeed in this industry.
And sometimes the smartest move…
is stepping away from what you thought you were supposed to build.
“If you want weekends off and time with your family… don’t start a business.”
A blunt truth, but one that every shop owner eventually feels.
