Kristen Selmeczy Archives - Pillars of Franchising

United Franchise Group – Empowering the Next Generation of Franchising with AJ Titus is the topic on Pillars of Franchising on December 15th, 2022 at 5:00p EST / 4:00p CST / 3:00p MST /2:00p PST

AJ Titus of United Franchise Group and Signarama joins the Pillars team this week. As a second generation franchise executive and the son of the titan of franchising, Ray Titus, AJ has learned valuable lessons growing up in the business, and has taken on leadership roles in both UFG and Signarama. On this episode we will discuss how AJ views his leadership role, earns the respect of his team and works to continue the Titus legacy. 

We also welcome a father son duo from Dale Carnegie on Part II of our series, Franchising: The Gift the Keeps Giving. David Wright and his son, Jonny Wright, join Karen Kimsey-Sward to discuss the highs and lows and lessons learned navigating business with family. How does each generation learn from the other and empower the other to contribute.

Ray Pillar returns in his new segment,  Pillar’s Pillar with Ray, as he and Fred discuss the first Pillar of Franchising – Finding the Right Opportunity.  

As usual, tune in for our Million Dollar Mentors, Kristin Selmeczy CEO of Pillars and owner of Molly Maid and Jerry Akers of Great Clips.

Listen live to new episodes on Thursdays at 4p central. Call in on Thursdays at 323-580-5755.

Shelf Genie Brings the Magic of Home Storage to Franchising is the topic for the December 8th, 2022 at 5:00p EST / 4:00p CST / 3:00p MST /2:00p PST Pillars of Franchising show.

Serena Close, Regional Sales Manager of Shelf Genie in South Eglin, Illinois, brings the joy and excitement of increased storage space to your home, office, shop or other space in need of…well..more space! This franchise system provides high franchisee satisfaction while growing your business with support and scalability. With 160 locations, they still have room to grow and provide a space for everything in its place. Shelf Genie is a part of the Neighborly brand of home services.

In Part II of our series, “Franchising: The Gift that Keeps Giving,” we will have a panel discussion with Sam Reges, Jerry Aker’s daughter and partner in crime in his franchise business with Great Clips and The Joint Chiropractic. They will continue the conversation about the second generation in franchising and how each generation empowers the other to build generational wealth, cement a succession plan and learn from each other.

On our new segment, Pillar’s Pillar with Ray Pillar, Fred will ask Ray about his experience buying an existing franchise and how that process differs from buying a new location.  

As usual, tune in for our Million Dollar Mentors, Kristin Selmeczy CEO of Pillars and owner of Molly Maid and Jerry Akers of Great Clips.
