Don Schin

Don spent 23 years successfully with two fortune 500 companies. This led him to travel the world doing business in 30 countries and living in Japan.
He stepped out of the corporate ‘rat race’ and started his entrepreneurial journey through franchising. As the first franchisee, he helped today’s global leader in business coaching come to the U.S.
In addition to being a leading, award-winning master franchisee, Don has been a multi-unit owner, a franchisor’s CEO, and a franchise broker. His company Franchise Building Expert (FBE) is a boutique consulting, coaching, training, brokerage, and outsource-sales company leveraging a niche expertise of franchise development. Don has also dramatically impacted the franchise broker industry through his leadership and partnering with Business Alliance, Inc. (BAI.) BAI is one of the top broker organizations in the U.S. Don was its Chief Growth Officer, developing a new training program for all new brokers, and significantly impacting the retention and results of new brokers in 2024.
Don is celebrating 25 years as an entrepreneur and franchise authority. His mission is to bring greater responsibility and integrity to the franchise industry.
