This week we’re talking with Navy veteran John Barile about how he went from Navy Sea Air Rescue Swimmer to becoming 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 does parking lot line striping and pavement maintenance 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 higher income and job security should consider trade franchises like EverLine, which help owners paint a portrait of true business success.
