Stacey Marmolejo (Founder/CEO, Franchise Prep Academy), is the creator of Franchise Prep Academy which provides unbiased courses for first-time entrepreneurs to learn all they need to know to buy a franchise business. FPA’s mission is to arm them with the knowledge necessary to start a business that brings satisfaction and fulfillment that more closely aligns with their core values.
After 25 years of climbing the corporate ladder, Stacey gave up a prestigious Senior Vice President position with a national firm to purchase a start-up franchise. 16 years later, as one of the Top 10% of franchisees, she successfully sold her franchise business and now dedicates her time to helping others who want to pursue a similar path to career success and life happiness.

In addition to her courses, Stacey volunteers her time mentoring military veterans interested in entrepreneurship.
