A new show from KnowHow dropping into The Restoration Playbook feed: What's Next in Franchising is a weekly podcast built for leaders scaling home and commercial services franchises, tackling the biggest news stories, and sitting down with the most innovative voices and leaders in the industry.

In this first episode, Leighton and Travis Martin break down three developments shaping service businesses in 2026: new FTC franchise disclosure rules, what the Franchise 500 rankings signal about where the industry is heading, and why consumers are moving back toward professional service providers after years of DIY.

If you've ever wondered how the franchise world thinks about training, consistency, and scaling without chaos, this is worth 30 minutes on your commute.
