"How to get everything you want without waiting a lifetime" is the tag line for the New York Times best-seller, Secrets of the Young and Successful, co-authored by Jennifer Kushell. It's also the underlying message this week's guest on Franchise Today shares with young entrepreneurs everywhere... and we do mean, everywhere.

Jennifer Kushell, founder and CEO of Young & Successful Media and YSN.com joins co-hosts Stan Friedman and Paul Segreto, discussing the cause of economic empowerment among young adults and entrepreneurs and how franchising contributes to the same.
