May is Mental Health Awareness Month and we’re going to dive into that topic with Felicia Alexander, CRO of TITLE Boxing Club and the co-founder of BoxUnion Holdings.

Felicia shares her very personal story of struggling with depression for many years and how boxing & fitness helped her unleash her inner badass.

On Saturday, May 21, TITLE Boxing will host the “Knockout Stigma” initiative in-person and digitally with proceeds benefiting Bring Change to Mind!

It’s Marketing Monday and Tanuj Joshi, co-founder and CEO of Eulerity, takes us on journey into the Metaverse.

“One of the dreams of every marketer or executive is that their potential or existing customers can experience their brand in a way curated or designed by the marketers or executives themselves. Metaverse gives a perfect opportunity for brands to do that.”

How can brands, especially franchises, best design this experience for customer? Where should they start? And, what talent and resources will they need?

One of our favorite things to do on many #FranchiseFriday shows this year is catchup with friends from the franchise space who we haven't seen since before the pandemic.

Mark and Mary Kay Liston share what they've been up to since retiring from Neighborly ... or as Mary Kay calls it, "graduating!" We discuss how to prepare for what's next, plan for your successor to succeed, and have an exit strategy that helps everyone involved.  We'll also get into the current challenges they see for franchisees, how small business owners can navigate these issues to survive and thrive, and what they both see as key characteristics of great leaders.

Shout outs today to Mary Thompson, Dina Dwyer Owens, and Joe Bourdow!
