Welcome to season 4, episode 6 of the Today is the Day Changemakers Podcast.

My next guest is Nicholas Marco. From ICU nurse to Hand and Stone, Sweat440, and Drybar franchisee.

Nick started out as a Penn State graduate, enrolling in a nursing program a week after. He is now credited with generating 28 million dollars of revenue in the last year and franchisee of 11 Hand and Stone NJ locations and 20 Ohio locations.

At the age of 14 years old, Nick came up with the name Hand and Stone and shared the idea with his father, John Marco. For this, he received a special gift when he turned driving age - a new car!

Beginning his journey as a registered nurse in the ICU, Nick acquired his love for the health industry and set out on his wellness path. He then realized he loves franchising and now has over 500 employees in his company. Despite being such a hard worker, Nick says he “never feels like he’s going to work” as he has maintained that the work he is doing always make him feel like he is making a difference. He continues to work on having a healthy work- life balance.

In addition to all his amazing skills and leadership positions, Nick also just recently launched a podcast titled, The Opportunity Coach, which will be full of his wisdom and knowledge from his dynamic work experiences.

Nicholas Marco shares about surrounding yourself with the right people, the people that want to see you grow. He has made it his mission to do the same for others. He has much to give in the areas of coaching, business, and overall life advice.
