Podcasts about Discovery Day

In this special episode, Gresham Harkless reflects on attending a Discovery Day with Neighborly, a franchisor with a wide range of brands, including standout options like 4 Candidate, an appealing fit for one of his prospects.   Gresham discusses refining his process by potentially merging the initial and second calls with prospects to build stronger rapport and qualify leads more efficiently.    He admits he hasn't yet taken anyone through the entire broker process, but recognizes that many in the industry aren't actively generating leads and rely too heavily on organic efforts.   Moreover, he stays focused on gradual improvement, working to manage his various responsibilities while striving to be just a little better every day.

Gresham Harkless shares a deeply personal and reflective update, capturing the balancing act between professional commitments and family life.

The Advisory Board Podcast –The Exit Strategy Playbook with Pete BaldineWelcome back to another episode of The Advisory Board Podcast! As always, we bring in experts from the franchise community to provide real, actionable advice that helps you make meaningful changes in your franchise system. We're all about helping your units succeed today while also setting you up for a successful exit strategy down the road.This episode is proudly sponsored by ClientTether—a game-changer in franchise sales automation and customer engagement. Big thanks to them for supporting the show and helping franchise owners grow their businesses effectively!The Gray Tsunami: Franchising's Aging DemographicsIf you were with us at the Let's Grow event, you heard us buzzing about a big challenge in the industry—the Gray Tsunami. Every day, 1.2 million people in the U.S. turn 65, and about 35-40% of franchise owners fall into the Boomer category. This presents a huge opportunity—and challenge—for franchise systems as many longtime owners look to retire.That's why we brought in Pete Baldine, President of Moran Family of Brands, which operates Mr. Transmission, Milex Complete Auto Care, Turbo Tint, and Alta Mere Automotive Outfitters. Pete has spent decades in franchising, building proactive systems to help franchisees successfully transition out of their businesses.Longevity & The Exit DilemmaAt Moran Family of Brands, 33% of franchisees have been in the system for 20+ years, and 16% for 30+ years. While that longevity is impressive, it raises a crucial question: How do we help these owners exit successfully without shrinking the system?Pete shares how his team proactively plans for franchisee exits—instead of leaving owners to figure it out alone. By implementing a strong resale program, Moran helps franchisees exit on their terms, ensuring they maximize their equity and transition to the right buyer.Why Franchisors Need an Exit StrategyToo often, franchisors focus solely on new franchise sales, neglecting end-of-cycle support for existing owners. But failing to help franchisees exit properly can result in units closing, lost brand equity, and declining system strength. Pete's solution?Start the conversation early – Moran tracks franchisee renewal dates a year in advance and starts discussing exit strategies well before expiration.Understand valuations – Educating franchisees on how EBITDA multiples affect their business's worth and ensuring their P&Ls are in order well before selling.Facilitate strong buyer matches – Using tools like the SpotOn Profile from Rebecca Monet's Zoracle Profiles, Moran ensures incoming franchisees are aligned with the system's top performers.Assist in finding buyers – Rather than forcing franchisees to find their own buyers, Moran actively supports the process, preventing deals from falling through.What Happens If You Don't Plan?Franchisors who ignore exit strategies risk:Aging franchisees who hold onto territories but stop growing their businesses.Poor resale processes that lead to franchisees closing shop instead of selling.System-wide stagnation, as untapped markets sit underutilized.Pete shares a real-life win: A longtime Moran franchisee, hesitant to sell, was guided through the resale process and handed off his store to a new owner. The result? The new franchisee brought fresh energy, increased revenue by 30%, and is now looking to buy two more locations.Building the Culture of Exit PlanningAt Moran, exit strategy isn't an afterthought—it's discussed in Discovery Day! Franchisees enter the system knowing there's a roadmap for both success and exit. This gives them confidence that when the time comes, they have the franchisor's full support.Final TakeawaysFranchise success isn't just about getting in—it's about getting out the right way. If you're a franchisor, take a page from Moran's playbook and:Integrate exit planning early in the franchise lifecycle.Actively assist franchisees with valuations, buyer matchmaking, and financing strategies.Build a culture where successful exits are just as celebrated as successful launches.A huge thank you to Pete Baldine for sharing his wisdom! If you'd like to connect with Pete, you can email him at pbaldene@moranbrands.com or call 708-297-2240.And thanks again to ClientTether for sponsoring this episode!

Special Guest: Cliff Nonnenmacher   Visit my website: http://franocity.com/   In this episode of Podcast Profits Unleashed, I sit down with Cliff Nonnenmacher, a seasoned entrepreneur and former investment banker, to break down the essential framework for evaluating and investing in franchises. Cliff shares how he and his business partner turned struggling businesses around by applying structured discipline, financial strategy, and a clear decision-making process. We discuss the common mistakes many aspiring business owners make—like letting emotions drive investment decisions instead of focusing on financial viability. Cliff explains why passion alone isn't enough and how financial discipline plays a critical role in long-term success. He introduces a step-by-step framework to assess business opportunities and ensure they align with personal financial goals. One key takeaway? Franchising is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Cliff walks us through the three-month franchise investment journey, from initial engagement to Discovery Day, where investors meet the executive team and experience the brand firsthand. This methodical approach ensures that franchising is a good fit before making any commitments. We also explore five thriving franchise categories that are resistant to AI disruption and e-commerce competition: Home Improvement & Tools – Roofing, HVAC, window cleaning, and essential repair services are always in demand. Aging Population Services – With a growing elderly population, businesses in assisted living, mobility, and in-home care are thriving. Pet Care Industry – The humanization of pets has led to a booming market in pet grooming, boarding, and wellness services. Health & Beauty – Anti-aging, med spas, biohacking, and wellness businesses are flourishing as self-care becomes a priority. Child Enrichment & Education – As public school budgets shrink, franchises in art, STEM, and extracurricular education fill the gaps. Cliff also addresses the biggest roadblock to franchise ownership—fear. Many people hesitate due to uncertainty or a lack of support. However, franchising offers built-in structures similar to corporate jobs, making it an easier transition than starting a business from scratch. The key message? Courage and self-belief are essential for breaking free from fear and seizing financial independence. If you've been considering franchise ownership, this episode is packed with insights to help you take that next step with confidence! Listen now and take the first step toward strategic business ownership!    

Are you thinking about buying a franchise? Don't make costly mistakes that could drain your time, money, and energy! Learn how to research, validate, and choose the perfect franchise.

He shares how to properly evaluate a brand, avoid red flags in the Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD), and ask current franchisees the right validation questions. Erik also explains why brand recognition isn't everything, how to navigate franchise broker and consultant relationships, and what franchisors look for in potential owners.

Tune in and learn to buy with confidence!   “Buying a franchise, probably for most people, is one of the biggest financial decisions they'll ever make.

I've seen that as well." ~ Erik Van Horn   In This Episode: - Why brand recognition isn't always a good reason to buy - The four key stages of the franchise buying process - Understanding that franchisors also evaluate buyers  - Choosing the right franchise industry for you - The role of franchise consultants, brokers, and FSOs - Following the franchisor's process - Researching and finding the best franchise opportunities - Reviewing the FDD (Franchise Disclosure Document) the right way - Asking smart franchise validation questions - Preparing for Discovery Day and making a decision   Resources:

In Episode 235, a PBSE listener writes in to ask Mark & Steve for guidance on how to best support his partner going forward. The couple were together off and on for 11 years and then married for the last 10 years. During the entire span of 21 years, he has struggled with sex/porn addiction and alcohol abuse. Recently, he got serious about getting into recovery, for both his alcohol dependency and his sex/porn addiction. As an essential part of his recovery and her healing, under the direction of a therapist, they engaged in their first "Discovery Day," where the truth about his decades-long addictions, gaslighting, lying, manipulation, etc., came out into the light. He seems determined to keep moving forward in his recovery and is asking, "Now what? How can I be there for her in this time immediately after disclosure and going forward?" Mark and Steve call upon their decades-long experience with all aspects of the Disclosure process and what it takes for an addict to continue progressing in recovery and help his partner start and continue healing from betrayal trauma—All “disclosures” are not created equal! There are a number of parts of the addict's submission that cause concern—He indicates he wasn't fully prepared for the Disclosure. What does it realistically take to “be prepared”?They only had a 45-minute session set aside for D-day. Why might this be a problem?It appears that the continuance of his disclosure and her questions happened 2 days later and then again 2 days after that—and apparently without the therapist. Where can this approach go wrong?What ARE the parts of an effective Disclosure? The 3 FOUNDATIONAL FOOTINGS—Disclosure; Impact; and Amends.After all three parts of a formal Disclosure, THEN WHAT? This is NOT a “one and done”! It's an “intimacy doorway” we walk through and it is just the beginning.Going forward is all about “Living Amends” on the part of the addict in recovery.Consistency, consistency, consistency—a trajectory/up-ward spiral that includes many efforts on the part of the addict including leaning in; leading out; proactively pursuing recovery; proactively anticipating and participating in the healing partner's needs, and more. Learn more about Mark and Steve's revolutionary online porn/sexual addiction recovery and betrayal trauma healing program at—daretoconnectnow.comFind out more about Steve Moore at:  Ascension CounselingLearn more about Mark Kastleman at:  Reclaim Counseling Services

Julian Shelley, a successful MSP owner, began his journey in 2011 when ‘Managed Service Provider' was not yet a widely recognized term. He started his business with a clear goal: to provide IT support that was better than what he had experienced as an employee in other IT companies. Over the years, his company, Woodstock IT, grew steadily, adding one employee per year and, by 2023, had a team of 13 dedicated professionals. However, despite this growth, Julian began to feel stuck and disconnected from his passion for the business.    The turning point came when Julian attended an MSP Growth Hub Discovery Day, where he had an epiphany. He realized that he needed a shift in mindset and a fresh perspective to reignite his passion for his MSP business. The Discovery Day introduced him to the concept of an MSP growth journey, where he could see his past struggles and the potential for future success more clearly. The prospect of reaching a million pounds in revenue, a target he had long aspired to achieve, suddenly felt attainable with the right guidance and framework in place.    Julian's journey with The MSP Growth Hub began with some initial overwhelm as he absorbed the wealth of content and ideas presented to him. However, this overwhelm was a positive one, signifying the immense potential for growth and improvement in his business. The planning framework provided by The Growth Hub was a game-changer for Julian. For the first time, he had a structured plan that allowed him to regularly review and update his business goals, a critical component he had been missing.    One of the pivotal aspects of Julian's experience with The MSP Growth Hub was the supportive community of like-minded MSP owners. He discovered that the MSP community was remarkably collaborative, with fellow MSPs eager to share their experiences and insights. Julian emphasized the importance of fully engaging with such a program, as the results are directly proportional to the effort invested.    The impact of Julian's first year with The MSP Growth Hub was nothing short of remarkable. His business saw significant growth, with a 16% increase in revenue and an impressive 40% boost in net profit. This growth allowed Julian to add 20% net profit and hire three additional staff members. It's important to note that the program also helped identify cost-saving opportunities and leverage R&D tax credits, contributing to the overall success.    Julian's approach to sales and marketing also underwent a transformation. He began producing regular newsletters, increased social media engagement, and refined tracking of incoming leads to make smarter marketing decisions. As a result, the business saw an uptick in new leads and improved lead conversion rates.    Looking ahead, Julian is excited about the potential to further leverage technology and automation to serve more clients without overwhelming his team. The MSP Growth Hub's guidance and resources have helped him streamline operations, laying the foundation for sustainable growth.    Julian's advice to those contemplating joining The MSP Growth Hub or feeling stuck in their MSP journey is clear: fully engage with the program and take the leap. You get out of it what you put in, and the benefits of structured planning, accountability, and a supportive community can be transformative.    In closing, Julian Shelley's journey from feeling stuck in his MSP business to reigniting his passion and achieving remarkable growth is a powerful reminder that it's never too late to make a change for the better. His story serves as inspiration for all MSP owners facing similar challenges, showcasing the potential for transformation when you embrace the right mindset and seek support from a community dedicated to your success.     So, if you're feeling stuck, remember Julian's story and consider taking the leap to get unstuck and thrive in your MSP journey.    Connect with me on LinkedIn and see what I'm up to by clicking HERE  To join our amazing Facebook Group of over 300 MSPs where we are helping you Scale Up with Confidence, then click HERE    Until next time, look after yourself and I'll catch up with you soon!

Today marks the 3️⃣ year anniversary of D-Day. (April 3rd, 2023) And while most of these anniversary dates can be very devastating, this one no longer governs me. As a matter of fact, what Satan meant to bring me harm actually empowered me to do what I do today - helping Christian women find hope and healing from the devastation of their husband's affair. And it's an honor. Many women equate D-Day or Discovery Day - the day you discovered your husband's affair - to an extremely traumatic event. It's the day your world came crashing down, the day your life shattered into a million pieces, the day time seemed to just stand still. This makes the anniversary of that day seem to daunting, one you dread terribly.  I want to help change that for you today. You can change how you approach the anniversary of D-Day.  In today's episode, I'll share with you 3 tips I used to change my perspective about D-Day anniversaries. And I even have a bonus for you as well. I pray this gives you a new way to approach these dates and offers you hope and healing along the way. Blessings Beautiful!

"You can drink it fast, you can drink it slow, but the lips have got to touch the toe." So goes the prime directive of the Exalted Order of the Sourtoe, a cocktail club dreamed up in the 1970s to celebrate Discovery Day in Dawson City. Essentially a shot of liquor garnished with a preserved, severed human toe, the Sourtoe Cocktail is one of Canada's most legendary (and disturbing) traditions that has been served to over 100,000 curious drinkers in a Dawson City bar. This is its story.For show notes and more, visit FiresideCanada.ca

Fernbank Museum will offer a vivid immersion into the science of color in the new special exhibit that will open in February. “The Nature of Color” will be on view at the museum February 11 through May 7 of 2023. A statement from museum officials said: “Our world is covered in color — it's woven so tightly into our lives that we rarely stop to question what it is and how it works. Where do colors come from? The new exhibit offers an in-depth exploration of the way color carries information in nature, including how organisms use it to find food, warn off predators and reproduce. The exhibit also delves into the use of color across cultures, where different colors can signal a wide range of meanings, impact emotions and ultimately influence the society around us. This fun and family friendly exhibit features models, cultural objects, media and interactive components that will invite visitors to play and experiment. Guests will be immersed in a kaleidoscope of imagery, interactivity and exploration and can interact with activities such as a “painting” on a floor-to-ceiling canvas using just their hands. They also can experience a colorchanging room, featuring a light lab experiment that provides the opportunity to combine colors to make white light. “The Nature of Color” also brings with it three displays that delve more into the specificities of color. ♦ “Feeling Color” allows guests to create different pigmented combinations to see how their creation affects their emotions. ♦ “Making Color” demonstrates the process of dyeing fabric and the history behind this process. ♦ “Meaning of Color” teaches guests how colors can create a shared identity and shows this through the color red and its use from cave art all the way to college sports. For those who have ever pondered the influence of hue on society — from guiding emotions and the way animals interact in nature to the history of color production — “The Nature of Color” aims to answer these explorative questions and showcase the ways that color ultimately influences every aspect of our lives, museum officials said. Another highlight of “The Nature of Color” is an installation of portraits by Brazilian photographer Angélica Dass, whose work showcases the diversity of human skin tones to challenge socially constructed racial categories and celebrate the beauty and diversity of humans around the world. Also featured is a red chiffon and organza gown by American designer Brandon Maxwell that was created specifically for the exhibit. Fernbank will celebrate the opening of The Nature of Color with a special family-friendly Discovery Day on February 11, featuring a range of activities that explore color, including a special demonstration with Fernbank's youth volunteers to creatively paint a life-sized bear model provided by Behr Paint. The Nature of Color is organized by the American Museum of Natural History, New York and local presentation is made possible by Behr Paint Company, one of the largest manufacturers of paints, primers, decorative finishes, stains and surface preparation products. “The Nature of Color” is included with general admission at Fernbank and with CityPASS.

At the fourth annual Wreaths Across America ceremony held in mid-December at Lawrenceville's East Shadowlawn Memorial Gardens, 350 veterans were honored as more than 150 people participated in a ceremony that included laying a fresh balsam wreath at every gravesite and reciting aloud the names of those who served. The commemoration was hosted by the Philadelphia Winn Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, a volunteer women's community service organization who for more than 130 years has promoted historic preservation, patriotism and education. The event included ceremonial wreaths honoring each branch of the military and also honored the nearly 95,000 POW/MIA veterans who have never returned home to their families. The wreaths, complete with red bows, were made in Maine for Wreaths Across America, whose stated mission is to remember the fallen, honor those who serve and teach the next generation the value of freedom. More than 3,300 locations nationwide and abroad received veterans' wreaths for ceremonies. Among the participants in the local commemoration were the Georgia State Society, Sons of the American Revolution Color Guard and Milita, the Elisha Winn Society Children of the American Revolution, the Parkview High School Marines JROTC Cadets and women's groups and several Boy Scouts and Girl Scout troops, American Legion Auxiliary and VFW organizations. Special guests included Gwinnett County Commission Chari Nicole Hendrickson, District Three Commissioner Jasper Watkins III and Lawrenceville Mayor David Still. Colonel John Haynes, U.S. Air Force (retired), a resident of Lilburn, was the guest speaker. The National Anthem was led by the Philadelphia Winn Chapter chaplain Connie Rifkind and the Pledge of Allegiance was led by siblings Nick and Rebecca Hamrick, members of the Elish Winn Society Children of the American Revolution. The Georgia Society SAR Color Guard and Milita presented colors, performed a three-musket volley and played Taps to conclude the ceremony.

Supporting the 11Alive/Salvation Army Can-A-Thon has been an annual school-wide tradition at Greater Atlanta Christian School for the past decade. This year the GAC community again came together in the fight against food insecurity in the Gwinnett County community and beyond by collecting 22,563 non-perishables, which were delivered to the Salvation Army on Dec. 2. Students from infant to 12th grade rallied their efforts for the past month in varying ways to accomplish their goals. Different incentives and competitions all spurred the number of cans to grow. On Can-A-Thon collection day, each school level's service and leadership groups lent a hand collecting, counting, boxing, packing, and delivering food. On-site at Salvation Army, the GAC Concert Choir serenaded volunteers with spirited Christmas music while student leaders unloaded boxes and presented the donations for the 11Alive/Salvation Army Can-A-Thon.

For many people, D-day, or discovery day (the day they found out about their spouse's infidelity) is a heavy, traumatic day. When they have the anniversary of that day coming up, it can fill them with dread. In this episode, I'll be sharing ways to think about discovery day that can bring relief, and even hope. It does not have to be an awful day. It can be a day with some emotion as you remember what happened, but it can be many other things as well. Listen to this week's episode to learn how to think about this (and other) potentially hard days in ways that help you move forward.

In this episode we discuss Discovery Day, one of the most painful days in the life of a wife who discovers her husband has been viewing pornography or is compulsively acting out sexually. The day of discovery is typically called D-Day, because just like the Normandy Beach invasion during WWII, this day is full of death, wounding, and trauma. D-Day is not the end of the story, though! We will leave you with hope. Your hosts are: Pam Blizzard of Recovered Peace Lyschel Burket of Hope Redefined Bonny Burns of Strong Wives We will be discussing: What comes to mind for each of us personally as we think of Discovery Day? What patterns do we see in partners immediately after discovery? What is the best thing a wife can do for herself immediately after discovering her husband's problematic sexual behavior? What hope can we leave our listeners with?
