Franchise growth strategy is more than signing new franchisees—it's about building the right foundation, attracting the right people, and scaling smart. Few understand this better than Joe Mathews, Founder and CEO of Franchise Performance Group, who has spent nearly four decades shaping some of the world's most recognized franchise brands. From his early leadership roles with Subway and Fantastic Sams to advising brands like Marco's Pizza and many others, Mathews has witnessed firsthand what separates long-term franchise success from short-term expansion. His experience writing five industry-leading books and contributing to major publications like Entrepreneur, USA Today, and Fortune underscores his authority on franchise development. A true student of franchising, Mathews built Franchise Performance Group to provide brands with a full-service, outsourced franchise development solution. His work goes beyond lead generation; it focuses on aligning franchisee and franchisor goals, building systems that foster success, and creating sustainable brand growth that lasts well beyond the initial sale. At the heart of Mathews' approach to franchise growth strategy is the understanding that great franchise brands are built on great franchisees. It's not about awarding as many territories as possible—it's about recruiting partners who share the brand's mission, values, and long-term vision. He emphasizes that smart franchise expansion is a careful balance of ambition and discipline. Mathews explains that many emerging franchisors fall into the trap of chasing growth for growth's sake. Without the right systems in place—operational training, marketing support, real estate development, and leadership alignment—franchise networks become fractured and inconsistent. This, he argues, is where the real danger lies: rapid growth without operational excellence can undermine a brand's reputation faster than anything else. A successful franchise growth strategy requires brands to invest deeply in the success of their franchisees. Mathews points out that franchisors who view franchisees as customers, rather than partners, miss the opportunity to build truly high-performing networks. Franchisees need to be empowered, supported, and continually trained to deliver the brand experience at the highest level. Another critical factor Mathews emphasizes is lead generation quality over quantity. Rather than relying on high-volume lead pipelines that attract the wrong candidates, he advocates for targeted, relationship-driven development strategies that focus on cultural fit, financial qualifications, and alignment with the brand's long-term mission. Strong franchise growth strategy starts with strong franchisee recruitment. Mathews also addresses how the landscape of franchising is shifting. Post-pandemic dynamics, rising interest in semi-passive ownership models, and heightened franchisee expectations are changing how brands must approach development. He stresses that adaptability, transparency, and authenticity are now non-negotiable for brands that want to attract and retain top-tier franchisees. Elevating a franchise growth strategy, Mathews explains, also means knowing when to say no. Not every prospective franchisee is the right fit, and franchisors must have the courage to protect their brand by being selective. A few wrong partnerships early on can have a cascading effect that damages unit economics, customer experience, and brand perception. Franchise success, he insists, is about more than the franchise disclosure document or initial franchise fee. It's about creating a complete, ongoing support system that positions franchisees to succeed and scale within the system. When franchisors prioritize the success of their network first, sustainable brand expansion becomes the natural outcome. Joe Mathews' philosophy offers a timely reminder that growth is not a goal—it's a result. Smart brands focus on operational excellence, franchisee success, and cultural alignment long before they hit national recognition. With decades of experience and proven systems, Mathews continues to shape the future of franchising by helping brands grow the right way, not just the fast way. Watch the full episode on YouTube.

Key Takeaways:Your presence and emotional frequency speak louder than what you say—people remember how you made them feel, not just what you said.Conscious leaders intentionally cultivate their energetic state, understanding that influence stems from within and radiates outward.Effective connection comes from meeting others where they are—validating their state rather than trying to pull them into yours.Your energetic baseline influences every area of life. Elevating it naturally attracts alignment and resilience, not perfection, but a stronger bounce back when things fall. “Energy speaks louder than words, and people won't remember what you say, but they'll remember how you made them feel.” “Remember, influential leaders love people for who they are, not who you want them to be.” “When you raise your standard, when you raise your vibe, people will come with you."- Maryanne Dersch Ask for and receive all you want, need, and deserve without feeling rejected, ineffective, or pushy.

Rob Durant redefines the sales profession by emphasizing a customer-first mindset rooted in service, trust, and relationship-building. Drawing from his background in education and years in sales leadership, Rob advocates for treating sales as an extension of customer service, not a separate function. He believes the best salespeople are teachers and problem-solvers who help customers make informed decisions rather than push products. For him, effective sales stem from empathy, authenticity, and preparation. He also highlights the need for the profession to evolve by rejecting outdated tactics like mass emailing and cold calling and instead embracing meaningful conversations and value-driven engagement. Through his work with the Institute of Sales Professionals (ISP), Rob is helping modernize and elevate the sales industry by focusing on three pillars: content, certification, and community. He sees certification not as a requirement, but as a signal of professionalism and commitment to ethical sales standards.

Preston Kincaid is no stranger to controversy... or to speaking his mind. And in the last episode we talked a bit about his recent comments in favor of content creators "having a villain" in their videos in order to hook attention. So! We figured who better to elaborate on that view than the man himself? This is worth listening to the entire episode, as Inspector Preston shares his journey into becoming a controversial figure in the home inspection industry, emphasizing the importance of authenticity, storytelling, and audience engagement. We even get into the risks and rewards of creating content that pushes boundaries, the significance of building genuine connections with followers, and the balance between drama and education in social media content. And this isn't just a talk about the benefits of engaging content... we get into the cause and effect that contact can have on our businesses in real life, as well as how you're perceived within the real estate industry. The TLDR: Preston has unintentionally become a controversial figure in content creation. Authenticity and storytelling are crucial for engaging an audience. Risk and reward must be carefully balanced in content creation. The evolution of content creation can lead to unexpected challenges. Engaging with the audience fosters a deeper connection. Villains in storytelling can enhance viewer engagement. Content should appeal to a broad audience to be effective. Attention spans are short, requiring rapid-fire content delivery. Building genuine relationships with followers is essential. Content should serve the audience, not just the creator. The home inspection community is largely supportive and friendly. People often bond over heroism and defense against industry bullies. Drama can attract viewers, but educational content is equally important. Inspectors should encourage clients to attend inspections for better understanding. There is a distinction between being a home inspector and a professional consultant.
