I had a great time connecting with him on this platform. Every single one of these episodes are a HUGE value add for me. I hope that you are able to gain some helpful nuggets as well.

It's not everyday that you get to interview the people you look up to in your respective space... however, for me it's becoming much more of a frequent occurrence.

Tariq Johnson was one of the first channels on YouTube that I started watching when I realized it was time for me to level myself up in the franchising space.

The one thing I love about franchising is that there are so many people who are willing to share knowledge and game to level the next man (or woman) up!

In this episode we learn about his journey from employee, to franchisee of one location, to launching a second location across the country!

Tariq talks us through the ups and downs of entrepreneurship and how he has leveraged his experience to become a coach to people who are looking to get into franchise ownership.

Buckle up and get your popcorn ready. Don't forget your notebook, this is a good one.

Voda Restoration may be new to franchising, but they are going to be a force to be reconned with.

It was my pleasure to interview Steve Miller, the Director of Franchise Development for the Voda team.

I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know Steve and hear a little bit more about their process and how they plan to support their franchisees.

This episode was recorded in the summer, so some of the information is a little dated. At this point these guys have launched around 40 franchise locations and are spreading fast!

Through my experience as a Mosquito Joe Franchisee, I have met a ton of amazing franchise owners and mentors!

Yoel Gutierrez is at the top of this list. I was so impressed by his story and ability to grow through franchise ownership. His constant drive for growth is impressive and his business shows how a person can become successful with the right mindset and never giving up.

Yoel is not just a franchisee in the Mosquito Joe system but is also a serial entrepreneur of with multiple businesses. We talk about his journey into Franchise ownership and how he was continued to level up his game.

It was such an honor to have Maya Ratcliff on as a guest! As the first founder of a franchise brand with multiple locations already open and many selling, on the show, she set the bar super high for future founders who grace the stage!

We talk about growing through failure, setting up franchisees for success, and how having a vision for the person you want to become is often the thing that makes all the difference when it comes to becoming successful.

Franchising is truly an amazing thing that hold so much opportunity for everyone involved.

Every person that I have talked to that is involved in the franchising industry has their own unique story on how they found their place in franchising.

From corporate refugees to stay at home moms, all the way to blooming hustlers looking for their next entrepreneurial journey. There is opportunity in franchising if you are looking to add value to yourself and your community.

I enjoyed talking to David Busker, not just because of his experience in the industry, but also because of the way that he adds value to others who are looking to build a legacy for themselves.

He is a franchise consultant, like me, and so I was able to pick his brain and learn how he helps his clients find launch and build their ideal business.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Our performance can only go as far as our preparation.

The same hold true in business, life, and protecting your identity from hackers and criminals.

Billions of cyber attacks happen ever single day. What are you doing to protect yourself? Most of these attacks are targeted towards small and midsized businesses.

The key to growth is preparation, and STAY READY NEVER GOTTA GET READY. I guarantee this episode will have you thinking twice about the defenses you have set up for yourself, your business, and your family.
