The Franchise Ascension Initiative, a six-month accelerator program aimed at preparing qualified individuals from underrepresented communities with education, mentorship, resources, and guidance in accessing capital to maximize the opportunity for success through a career in franchise ownership.

On today's podcast, we will speak with the visionary of The Franchise Ascension Initiative, Omar Simmons, IFA Board Member and Managing Director of Exaltare Capital Partners.

Simmons says, “Franchising has been at the center of my journey and can provide a unique path to financial freedom for others. Now it is time to pay it forward so that even more people can have access to the same opportunities I had."
