Setback To CEO: The Jaw-Dropping Comeback Story of Tim Dougherty
In this episode of Franchise Unfiltered, Wes sits down with Tim Dougherty, the founder and CEO of Project Lean Nation, for one of the most jaw-dropping comeback stories in franchising.
In 2006, the FBI walked into Tim’s office and charged him with conspiracy to commit securities fraud. He served time in federal prison—and came out with nothing. But out of that brokenness, Tim rebuilt his life by serving others, starting with a few homemade meals and a dream to change lives through health and nutrition.
Today, Project Lean Nation is a fast-growing franchise built on purpose, accountability, and powerful transformation.
Whether you’re an entrepreneur, aspiring franchisee, or someone looking for hope—you need to hear this story.
