In this episode, Sam Street talks with Steve Leal, President & CEO of Fix Network, to discuss the network's presence and growth in the Australian market.

We begin our discussion by comparing similarities between Australia and Canada, followed by a review of the network's efforts to develop a sustainable franchise system for entrepreneurs, and explore the benefits franchisees gain from being part of a global network. We also get an overview of Fix Network's official sponsorship with KICK Sauber F1® Team, their continued efforts to build consumer trust, and the type of business owners the network is looking for — highlighting the importance of staying up to date in a rapidly evolving industry.

We wrap up with Steve's insights on working collaboratively with his franchisees, long-term investment strategies, and the level of commitment required.
