Jon Benson’s journey into franchising wasn’t traditional. After scaling a Utah startup from $20M to $450M in sales, and later launching a COVID testing lab that served thousands of people a day, Jon stumbled across GameDay Men’s Health on LinkedIn. Within weeks, he went from curious prospect to signing a five-territory deal in one of the fastest-growing franchises of all time.

In this episode, Jon shares:

  • How his early startup and healthcare experiences prepared him for the complex operations of a medical franchise.

  • Why GameDay’s simplified “one-hour testosterone optimization” model is a breakthrough compared to traditional healthcare.

  • The financing and deal structure he used to secure five territories — and why he approached it like a venture deal.

  • What it really takes to open and operate a GameDay clinic: site selection, buildout, staffing, and customer acquisition.

  • The emotional stories of patients whose lives were transformed — including one man who told Jon, “You saved my life”.

  • His exit strategy, what makes franchising attractive to him, and whether he’ll expand into other brands in the future.

    • This is a deep dive into how a first-time franchisee can leverage entrepreneurial experience to thrive in one of the fastest-selling franchises in history.
