    #780 What started as two kids mowing lawns to pay for college has grown into a 185+ location franchise across the U.S., Canada, and Australia! In this episode hosted by Brien Gearin, Mike Andes, founder of Augusta Lawn Care, shares how a near-death accident under a dump truck became the turning point that forced him to systematize his business and step out of day-to-day operations. He breaks down the path from operator to leader, the three stages of scaling from $0 to $1 million, and why pay-for-performance, open-book management, and profit-sharing are game-changers for employee motivation and retention. Mike also reveals how content creation and personal branding helped him grow both his franchise and software companies — and why every small business owner should consider becoming “the mayor” of their local market online. Whether you're mowing lawns or managing a team of technicians, this episode is full of practical wisdom and inspiration! (Original Air Date - 6/16/25) What we discuss with Mike: + From lawn kid to franchise CEO + Scaling from $0 to $1M + Pay-for-performance explained + Open-book management benefits + Systems vs. hustle mentality + Surviving a workplace accident + Hiring and training A-players + Using content to drive growth + Local brand vs. national fame + Why most franchises fail Thank you, Mike!

    ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Mockingjay Part 1 - The movie: "Everything old can be new again...like democracy." Remember when watching this movie was a form of escapism? Remember when the concept of the Hunger Games was horrifying and parents were up in arms? Remember all that? Good. Watch it again. ACOFAE is continuing the watch of The Hunger Games series with the third movie, Mockingjay: Part 1. Filled with a cast that is beyond talented, Katniss is struggling with her new life in District 13, after she was rescued from the Games. Peeta is a hostage of the Capital, and is not doing well and Katniss has to rally the people for revolution. With propos. That she isn't very good at. What follows is Katniss' journey of working through the scheming and the politics of 13, dealing with Snow and his cruelty, and figuring out her place in this new district. Hoorah? "Not one to waste it in rehearsal."

    Micha und Dave sprechen über Return to Silent Hill - und damit auch über eine Freundschaft, die seit über 26 Jahren durch Horrorspiele geprägt ist. Aus gemeinsamen Survival-Horror-Nächten auf der PlayStation, David-Lynch-Filmabenden in der WG und einer „Horrorfreundschaft“, die mit dem ersten Silent Hill begann, entsteht eine sehr persönliche Perspektive auf die neue Filmadaption. Die beiden ordnen den Film nicht nur im Franchise und im Kontext der teils fanatischen Community ein, sondern verknüpfen ihn mit ihrer eigenen Geschichte als langjährige Silent-Hill-Spieler.Der Podcast beschäftigt sich ausführlich mit der Frage, was eine gelungene Videospielverfilmung ausmacht und warum Return to Silent Hill so heftig polarisiert. Dave und Micha sprechen über die schwierige Produktionsgeschichte, das vergleichsweise geringe Budget, Christoph Gans' Rückkehr, die Nähe zur Ästhetik von Silent Hill 2 (inklusive Remake) und die Rolle von Akira Yamaokas Musik und Sounddesign. Sie analysieren visuelle Entscheidungen, Monsterdesigns, Raumgefühl und Pacing und vergleichen diese mit anderen Adaptionen (von Resident Evil bis zu Uwe-Boll-Filmen) ohne in reines Bashing zu verfallen.Statt sich dem Online-Negativ-Hype um „den schlechtesten Film des Jahres“ anzuschließen, arbeitet die Folge heraus, warum der Film trotz klarer Schwächen sehenswert bleibt und wie er als eigenständige Interpretation von Silent Hill funktioniert. Dabei geht es um Mediumwechsel, Ambiguität, Fan-Erwartungen und darum, wie viel künstlerische Freiheit sich eine Adaption leisten darf. Das Ergebnis ist eine ausführliche, wohlwollend-kritische Analyse für Menschen, die Silent Hill lieben und neugierig sind, ob Return to Silent Hill wirklich nur Verriss verdient oder vielleicht doch „etwas Liebe für eine polarisierende Filmadaption“.Wie Dave im Podcast so schön sagt: „Diskussionen um Kunst und Medien sollten Menschen näher bringen - und nicht auseinander treiben.“ Hosted on Acast.

    In this episode of Franchise Unfiltered, Wes sits down with Kurt Landwehr, founder and CEO of OVO Salons, to break down a salon franchise model that doesn't fit neatly into the usual categories.   While OVO may appear to be an emerging franchise, the business itself has been operating successfully for 18 years in Atlanta, one of the most competitive salon markets in the country. What's new isn't the model...it's the decision to franchise it.   Kurt explains how OVO blends commission-based stylists and chair rental under one roof, creating a hybrid approach that benefits both stylists and franchise owners. This structure allows stylists to grow their careers without leaving the salon, while giving owners flexibility to adjust their revenue mix as the business matures.   The conversation also explores the “massive middle” of the salon industry — a largely fragmented segment dominated by independent operators — and why OVO is intentionally positioning itself there rather than competing with discount chains or salon suites.   Wes and Kurt discuss who this franchise model is designed for, why no hair-cutting experience is required, and how leadership, management, and people skills matter far more than technical ability. They also cover investment ranges, build-out costs, scalability, and why OVO is built for multi-unit ownership, not owner-operators.   If you're evaluating franchise opportunities and want to understand how a proven business can still be early in its franchising journey, this episode offers a clear, grounded look at how OVO Salons is approaching growth.   7 Steps to Owning a Franchise: https://path2frdm-1.hubspotpagebuilder.com/path-to-freedom-about-franchising

    With host retail coach Wendy Batten   https://wendybatten.com/podcast-intro/   Episode Overview In this episode, I'm addressing a question that comes up often at the beginning of the year for many retailers, after the hustle and bustle of Q4 ends and we naturally start reflecting on what we want next. I'm talking directly to shop owners who are quietly wondering if it's time to make a big change in their role in their retail business: whether that looks like taking some things off your plate or stepping away from it completely. I'll walk you through a simple but powerful assessment I use with clients before any big decision is made. This is not about rushing to sell or making dramatic changes. It's about slowing down and understanding what's actually creating tension in your business and your role and how to intentionally fix that tension. If you've ever thought, "Am I just tired, or is it time for something different," this episode will help you gain clarity before you decide anything. By the end, you'll have a clearer framework to evaluate your role, your business, and what options may truly be available to you. (I think some of them will surprise you!) Our Key Topics Asking whether it's ownership or your current role that feels heavy Looking at pay, hours, and profitability without hustle What happens if the business depends entirely on you How changing life seasons affect business alignment (and why it's okay!) The role curiosity plays in staying or stepping away Why outside perspective matters before big decisions Key Takeaways for Retailers Feeling tired doesn't automatically mean it's time to leave. Are you proud of what you've built and curious where it can go?   Changing your role can completely change how the business feels. Is there something you'd rather be doing to support your business?   A well-designed business should support your life.   Life seasons change, and it's okay to reassess. But don't "give away the farm" or simply close your doors. I can help.   Clarity must come before any major decision. Find an advisor or coach and see what creative solutions you can reach together. "The mistake is [making big decisions] before you understand what's actually driving the tension." -Wendy Batten If you're feeling uncertain, I invite you to listen, reflect, and give yourself space to gain clarity before deciding what's next.

This isn't just about cookies. It's about resilience, leadership under pressure, and what it really takes to rebuild when everything feels like it's unraveling.Matt didn't plan to build a national cookie brand during a pandemic. But when his branding agency collapsed in March 2020, he and his wife Elise went all-in on Cookie Co.—a passion project born from her lifelong love of baking.From selling cookies out of their garage (while neighbors suspected something sketchy) to hitting $1.3M in year one, the growth was explosive. Franchise interest poured in. Within a few years, they reached 31 locations across multiple states.Then the economy shifted.Eggs and butter doubled. Inflation soared. Franchisees struggled. A strategic partnership turned into a legal nightmare involving system lockouts and reputational damage.Through it all, Matt shares what he's learned about resilience, leadership, ego, and the brutal honesty entrepreneurship demands.This episode is about grit.
