What does it actually look like to build your first business — and then decide to open a second location?
In the first episode of The Back Office, Dalayna Dillon sits down with Zach and Maddie Morris, the brother-sister team behind 3 Natives Tulsa and 3 Natives Owasso.
Growing up in a family of franchise operators, Zach and Maddie had a front-row seat to the realities of business ownership long before they opened their own doors. In this conversation, they share what it’s been like stepping into ownership themselves — from choosing the right franchise opportunity to navigating the growing pains that come with expansion.
This is an honest look at the decisions, lessons, and challenges that happen behind the scenes of a growing business.
Inside this episode, we talk about:
• Growing up in an entrepreneurial family
• How they chose 3 Natives as their first business venture
• The moment they knew they were ready to expand
• The biggest growing pains after opening a second location
• Hard lessons and mistakes they’ve learned from
• The decisions that have paid off the most so far
No one has it fully figured out — but they’re building anyway.
