TES Talks: Episode 8 with Keith Simpson, Career Ownership Coach™ featuring Debbie Zimmerman

In this episode of TES Talks, host Keith Simpson, a Career Ownership Coach™ with The Entrepreneur’s Source®, sits down with one of his earliest clients, Debbie Zimmerman, to explore her inspiring journey from a long-term corporate role in manufacturing to launching a thriving dog training business built around her passion.

Debbie’s story is a powerful example of what’s possible when you step away from the traditional 9-to-5 and embrace career ownership. Through franchising, she discovered not just a proven business model—but a clear, supportive framework for long-term success, even with no prior business experience.

Whether you’re a dog lover, an aspiring entrepreneur, or simply someone ready for a more meaningful path, this episode offers real insight, encouragement, and a reminder that it’s never too late to rewrite your story.
