Thinking about owning a business but not sure where to start? Join us for a free, 45-minute virtual Lunch &amp; Learn on what it really takes to own and grow a franchise.
This is an honest, no-pressure conversation designed for corporate professionals considering a change, aspiring entrepreneurs, and anyone curious about business ownership. We’ll cover how to evaluate whether franchising fits your goals, what the exploration process looks like, and what owners actually do day to day.
We’ll use Zoomin Groomin, a mobile pet grooming franchise growing across Westchester and Putnam Counties, as our real-world example. No grooming experience needed. The owners we look for bring leadership, relationship building, and the drive to grow a local business.
Your hosts: 
Harris Gubin, franchise coach with 10 years of experience guiding professionals through a methodical, personalized exploration of franchise ownership.
Rebecca Blumberg, Zoomin Groomin area developer for Westchester and Putnam, with 30 years in sales and marketing leadership at Nickelodeon and Paramount.
Bring your lunch and your questions.

Vince August is the audience warmup comedian for Comedy Central's The Daily Show, tours internationally with Trevor Noah and is a series regular on ABC's What Would You DO?
Born and raised in New Jersey to Sicilian immigrant parents, Vince was dubbed the "Joking Judge" following the New Jersey Supreme Court hearing determining whether he could be both a Judge and entertainer. The New Jersey Supreme Court gave Vince the option to choose. Vince chose entertainer over Judge.
Billy Prinsell is a New York City based stand-up comedian who was one of Comedy Central’s ‘Comics to Watch and has a new comedy special "Hunka Bunka" available on AppleTV.
Ben Rosenfeld's comedy is “playfully dark, seriously smart.” Ben’s comedy blends his family’s experience as Russian Jewish immigrants in America with his philosophical beliefs, political observations and unique characters. Ben has been seen on BuzzFeedVideo and is slightly “TikTok famous” with over a quarter-million followers, 11 million likes and 100 million views. He’s also appeared on FOX’s Laughs, Travel Channel’s Mysteries At The Museum, CBS This Morning, Nat Geo’s Brain Games, Netflix’s Brainchild, NPR’s Weekend Edition, FOX News Saturday Night, SiriusXM Radio, The New York Post and been featured as TimeOut New York’s Joke of the Week. He has twice headlined at Caroline’s on Broadway, hosted at the Lincoln Center and performs nightly in New York City. Ben has five comedy albums and two illustrated humor books.
Cyndy Cecil gave a speech at a conference with the hopes to move people…make them feel something…maybe even make them cry. They ended up laughing. Friends said, “Do stand-up.” Now Cyndy grabs every mic she can in New York City at night, while by day, she produces content for companies like Apple TV+, Nat Geo, Hallmark and others.

<a href="https://www.sarahlawrence.edu/signature-learning-community/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">The Signature Learning Community at Sarah Lawrence College</a> is thrilled to present Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, novelist, and memoirist <a href="https://annaquindlen.net/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Anna Quindlen</a> in a lively and inspiring conversation about midlife and the chapters it brings. Part of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sarahlawrence.edu/news-events/slc100/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">SLC100: The 2026–2027 Presidential Event Series</a>, the event will bring Quindlen together with President Cristle Collins Judd to consider the joys, challenges, and opportunities of midlife and beyond.
As Sarah Lawrence celebrates its centennial and looks toward its second century, the evening will also mark the launch of the College’s new <a href="https://www.sarahlawrence.edu/lifelong-learning/center-for-midlife-and-meaning.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Center for Midlife and Meaning</a>, the latest expression of the College’s enduring belief that education is a <a href="https://www.sarahlawrence.edu/lifelong-learning/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">lifelong</a> process of discovery, growth, and transformation. Bringing the liberal arts into conversation with the lived experience of adults navigating change, the Center will offer opportunities for learning, reflection, conversation, and creative discovery. Whether work is shifting, children are leaving home, caregiving responsibilities are growing, retirement is approaching, or long-held interests are calling for renewed attention, the Center will provide a place to consider what is changing, what matters now, and what might come next.
Drawing on her works including the novels More Than Enough and Still Life with Bread Crumbs, memoirs and reflections Lots of Candles, Plenty of Cake and A Short Guide to a Happy Life, and the non-fiction call to action Write for Your Life, Quindlen will bring her characteristic wit, warmth, and insight to the questions at the heart of the new Center: How do we understand ourselves as our roles and responsibilities change? What gives life meaning now? And what new possibilities might emerge in the chapters still ahead?
Members of the in-person audience will have the opportunity to engage with Anna Quindlen in a question-and-answer session, with priority given to members of the <a href="https://www.sarahlawrence.edu/signature-learning-community/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Signature Learning Community</a>. A book signing and reception will follow. Select books will be available for purchase, provided by Periwinkle Books in Bronxville.
<a href="https://www.givecampus.com/schools/SarahLawrenceCollege/events/in-conversation-anna-quindlen-and-president-cristle-collins-judd" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Advance registration is required</a>&nbsp;for this free event. In-person seating is limited to 300 and available on a first-come first-served basis, so don’t delay!
