We are brining Malcolm into our Peppo's Subs Franchise group to bolster our corporate store, corporate training and ongoing support for new franchisee's. This episode unpacks our franchise training system and our philosophies as we prepare to launch into our aggressive growth phase. We unpacked this work from start to finish. We talked expectations vs reality. We talked going in blind, and then seeing it all come together. We unpacked from the very basics, to high level business decisions. In this episode you will learn what it takes to go all in, trust the process, and learn by doing. Enjoy! Connect with me

This episode is about addressing the tough conversations everyone wants to avoid. This can apply to your personal relationships, business relationships(for those above or below you), schooling (teachers & students), or for any other point at which hard conversation becomes reality. I have learned a lot from the way my father ran business, my mentors, my time in the Army, and by doing a lot the wrong way. This is the culmination of what I have found to be best practices to get the best results.Thanks for listening! Robert PeppoConnect with me

Peter “H” is a disruptive educator. He has a business acumen built from multiple industries, 20 years teaching experience, and hosting a dope successful podcast. He has a mindset and insight that I was drawn to from our first time meeting. Today we discussed education, life, and business, yet barley scratched the surface. We dove into how students learn, the good and bad of traditional education, ed tech, pushing limits, and how we can all come together to achieve a better curriculum and outcome for students. We are about to embark on a project together and are excited to discuss that in a Part 2.  We hope this leads to the next generation of student development. As many of you know my "traditional education" journey was a struggle to say the least.  I learned nearly everything the hard way. I couldn't relate to, nor get interested in school. No one helped me connect the dots or understand the why. I didn't have anyone help me find what I was good at. I had to do it later in life, on my own, and after wasting  a lot of time and money. I wish I had a teacher like Peter when I was young. Let's collaborate with those change agents that make sure each student, at each school, regardless of interests, ability, or income, has the knowledge to succeed. Enjoy this podcast and look out for much more from Peter and I. This is just the beginning.  Peter

Charles DeVos is a musician, athlete, world traveler, food and wine connoisseur, and a crucial part of big business.

He shared his deeply personal life experiences with me. We talked both the good and the bad which took this PART 1 episode into depths and topics I haven't touched before. In this episode:1)Who is Charles DeVos & who he is to me2)Music3)Risk & Struggle4)Mental Health5)Athletics, injury, set backs and triumphsI am so thankful for this PART 1 and can not wait for PART 2. Connect with me

Are you in the arena or are you just watching from the cheap seats?Listen in to find out why and how to jump into the arena of whatever it is you do. -Passage from Citizenship in a Republic (1910 - Theodore Roosevelt)-"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, who's face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." - Theodore RooseveltPlease check out my Social Pageshttps://linktr.ee/RobertPeppoConnect with me
