The Science of Flipping

The Franchise Gold Rush: How to Build Wealth, Cash Flow, and Real Estate Through Franzy | Alex Smereczniak


Listen Later

In this episode of The Science of Flipping, I sat down with 33-year-old serial entrepreneur Alex Smereczniak, the founder of Franzy.com — what he calls the Zillow of franchising. Alex walked me through how franchising really works, why it’s far more accessible than people think, and how everyday entrepreneurs can build serious wealth through franchises, cash flow, and real estate. We talk about the hottest industries, the best opportunities, how to choose the right brand, and how the franchise + real-estate model can create multiple streams of income and even multi-million-dollar exits. This conversation opened my eyes to opportunities I didn’t even know existed — and it might do the same for you.
