After 20+ years auditing major retailers in grocery, pharmaceuticals, and electronics, my role was outsourced overseas.
I took the severance and opened a Jersey Mike's franchise. Within our first year, we were a top-5 store in a two-state market doing $1.4M+ annually.
In what was supposed to be semi-retirement, my husband and I bought 10 vending machines. Two years later: 80+ machines, $800K in annual revenue, and an offer we couldn't refuse.
Now I help vending operators who are stuck. Stuck landing locations.
Stuck at $100-200K revenue.
Stuck doing everything themselves with no systems.
I show you the exact approach that got businesses to place our machines when we had zero track record. The pricing structure that kept clients renewing year after year. The pre-kitting system that cut our restocking time by 40%.
If you're trying to figure this out alone, you don't have to anymore.
Single mom at 18. I moved six hours from everyone I knew to go to Southern Illinois University. Three jobs while taking 18 credit hours every semester and 12 every summer with a one year old.
Second semester, our house caught fire at 3 AM.
The electrical fire started in my almost-2-year-old son's bedroom. I'd just moved him to a toddler bed, and that night he came to my room. That decision probably saved his life. The smoke detectors didn't go off until the room exploded backdraft-style.
Less than a month later, I had a stroke. Misdiagnosed in the ER. I still graduated in three years with a BS in Accounting & Finance.
Years later, my son was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer at 18. Only 10% survival chance. Two years of chemo, radiation, and stem cell transplant. And while we were navigating that, my youngest was diagnosed as deaf and hard of hearing.
Here's what I learned: You can't control what happens to you, but you can control what you do next.
When you're building something — a business, a better life, a way out — having someone who's actually been there makes all the difference.
A headhunter took a chance on me when I was a single mom who couldn't travel. Six Jersey Mike's franchisees mentored me when I had nothing to offer in return. They showed me what actually works.

"Jami is awesome. She has helped streamline and optimize my operations helping us grow from $700k to over $1 million/year. She has helped with everything from formation of our LLC, to setting up new payroll & accounting systems, to helping us design and implement pre-kitting. She's the real deal. Highly recommend!
