This week, we’re talking with Navy veteran John Barile about how he went from Navy Sea Air Rescue Swimmer to become a highly successful business owner. After the military, Barile took a dive into business ownership when he opened an EverLine Coatings and Services franchise, which paints parking lots and maintains paved roads in the San Diego area.
As veterans always have a story or two, Barile shared some great sea stories from his time as a Navy rescue swimmer. Including one involving a burly, bearded Navy Sailor with a huge dip who delivered one of the greatest recruitment pitches of all time!
Barile described that while the pavement and line striping industry is a lesser-known business category, it’s one of many skilled trade businesses that are booming.
He also offered a closer look at Everline Coatings and Services, and how the recent growth of San Diego’s restaurant scene has resulted in massive growth for his business.
And he shared why veterans looking for better income and job security should consider how franchises like Everline help owners paint a portrait of success.
