TikTok, Franchising, and the Power of a Happy Hour Without the Hangover
Sep 04, 2025
This week on This Mother Means Business Podcast, I sat down with Stacey Marks and Kari Schroeter, the co-owners of Fly Dance Fitness.
What started as one local dance studio has now grown into a fast-expanding franchise, fueled by scrappy pivots during COVID, viral TikTok videos, and a community that feels like family.
In our conversation, we talk about:
- How they went from client + instructor to co-owners
- The role TikTok played in their growth
- What makes their partnership work (and last!)
- How they’re franchising while keeping community at the heart of it all
It’s such an inspiring story of growth, resilience, and building a business you actually love showing up for.
