How do you survive a business partnership?  How do you improve a husband and wife business team?  How do you make a family business more harmonious and productive?  

These guys know close relationships in business.  

Many business coaches are solo acts. Adam Sonnhalter and Jack Mencini of Maximum Value Partners (MVP) meet and work with their clients as a team. “Two bald guys are better than one,” they say.  

A lot of business coaches will focus on larger companies. MVP works ONLY with small businesses, and it’s been that way since the pair teamed up in 2003. Their “partnership” goes back to the days at a country club when Adam was a caddie and Jack a wannabe scratch golfer.  

Ironically, MVP takes a caddy-like approach when working with its clients (think more Bagger Vance than Caddyshack’s Danny Noonan). Their MVP strategy involves helping clients navigate the 7 Keys to Success, the 3 Circles and getting unstuck from endless “how” questions. This formula has elevated the games of businesses ranging from landscapers to IT consultants, body shops to marketing firms.  

Listen to this episode and get a good sense of what it means to be coached not coddled.

There are only two kinds of people. Those who live on a lake. And those who wished they did.  With that in mind, our guests Scott Freerksen and Chris Mosier founded Lakefront Living International, LLC, a national real estate franchise company focused exclusively on the buying and selling of lakefront and lake community properties.  

Martin Scorsese’s Shutter Island and nine Lakefront Bargain Hunters have turned to Lakefront Living for location advice and arrangements.   Lakefront Living has an extensive database of details for 2,809 lakes. 

In addition to its recent expansion into North Carolina, the company has established franchise territories in Alabama, Arkansas, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Missouri, New Hampshire, Ohio, Rhode Island and Tennessee.  

What drives buyers and agents?  How is the pandemic and the economy effective lakefront sales?  Listen in.

What? A home-based business with the glamour of travel?  Wanderlust and potential are what has always driven Americans. Funny, fast on the uptake and full of relatable stories, Peter Hans, CEO of Discovery Map, Inc. delivers both.   

During the pandemic, travel has been fairly limited. For many, that’s meant either a staycation at home or a regional road trip. Discovery Map, the leading provider of curated guides to top tourist attractions in cities and towns throughout North America, has become even more of a godsend to those day and road trippers.  

Peter outlines why his franchise opportunity is a little different. It’s not a 9-to-5 gig and you don’t necessarily have to work 12 months a year to be successful. You just have to be willing to work hard when you work.   

Peter began his career as an investment banker in Switzerland for six years and followed that with six more years in London. During that time, he traveled to most every major European city and also to Australia, Asia and South America.   

Discovery Map franchise owners come from many walks of life. Some are corporate/pandemic refugees or semi-retired individuals looking to build a business and fund their full retirement. Others include recent college grads, as well as mothers (and fathers) looking to build a business with hours around the kids’ school schedules.   

Discovery Map International, leading provider of curated guides to top tourist attractions in cities and towns throughout North America. The Waitsfield, Vermont-based franchisor has maps in 130 communities in North America and has 91 franchise owners.
