Meet Jody

Jody Lamb, an Army veteran, now owns two FASTSIGNS locations in Arlington and Mansfield, Texas, where giving back has become a central part of his mission. His time in the Army, though brief, instilled in him leadership skills that have carried over into his career as a franchise owner.

 

Jody’s commitment to service didn’t stop with his military experience—it evolved into a dedication to supporting his local community. “Giving back is part of the franchise mindset,” he says, reflecting on how franchising, at its core, is about more than just business; it’s about building connections. At his business, Jody offers standing discounts for veterans as a way to honor those who’ve served.

Before taking on FASTSIGNS, Jody worked with several other brands, gaining experience and insights into what makes a small business thrive. For him, small businesses are essential to fostering community involvement and creating support networks. Now, as a franchise owner, Jody blends his military values with entrepreneurial spirit, using his businesses as a force for good in his community.
