What if the real differentiator between thriving franchise brands and struggling ones comes down to two simple traits: humility and hunger?In this episode, Adam Contos, a high-performance leadership expert, former CEO of RE/MAX, and a leading voice in the franchise industry joins us for a conversation that cuts through the noise and gets to the heart of what truly drives franchise success. From his early days in the Marine Corps reserves and law enforcement to leading one of the most recognized franchise brands in the world, Adam brings the kind of clarity leaders desperately need right now.Adam breaks down why risk-taking is non-negotiable, how leaders unknowingly sabotage progress, and why decision-making, not perfection, is the real engine of growth. He also shares what most franchisors get wrong when communicating with their networks, how to build A-player teams, and why visibility isn't optional if you want your franchisees to trust you. This is leadership without fluff: direct, grounded, and immediately applicable.Whether you're scaling an emerging brand, rebuilding systems, or trying to develop stronger leaders inside your organization, this episode gives you a clear look at the habits, decisions, and mindset shifts that actually move a franchise system forward. You'll walk away with a sharper mindset, clearer priorities, and a better understanding of what leadership actually requires.Connect with Adam:Website: https://www.adamcontos.com/Franchise Membership Community: https://yourfranchisegroup.com/Episode Highlights:Why risk tolerance separates winning brands from stagnant onesThe biggest leadership blind spots founders don't see comingAdam's simple 3–2–1 decision-making frameworkWhat “founder syndrome” looks like inside a franchise systemHow visibility builds trust at scaleWhy tech adoption is always a challenge and what to do about itThe real job of a franchisor (according to Adam)When and how to upgrade talent without guiltWhy humility accelerates leadership growthHow to develop leaders who can replace youConnect with Tracy Personal LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tracy-panase/ JBF LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/jbfsale JBF Franchise System - https://jbfsalefranchise.com/ Email: podcast@jbfsale.com Connect with Shannon Personal LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/shannonwilburn/ JBF LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/jbfsale Website - https://shineexecutivecoaching.com/ Email - shannon@shineexecutivecoaching.com

Alex Smereczniak is a serial entrepreneur and the co founder and CEO of Franzy, a platform reshaping how entrepreneurs discover and acquire franchise businesses. Franzy was built to remove the opacity and friction that traditionally plague franchising, giving founders real clarity, tools, and support to make smarter decisions. Alex's work centers on enabling ownership and helping people bet on themselves with better information.Before Franzy, Alex co founded and served as CEO of 2ULaundry and LaundroLab, where he helped scale a venture backed laundry delivery company and its franchise arm from the ground up. His experience spans fundraising, growth, operations, and franchising, and he remains actively involved as a board member for both companies. He has lived the realities of scaling fast, hiring teams, navigating capital, and building systems that hold under pressure.In this episode, Alex breaks down what actually works when building businesses that scale and why entrepreneurship is more accessible than most people think when the right structure is in place. He shares lessons from multiple ventures, hard earned insights from the franchise world, and a clear perspective on how to create companies that drive both profit and impact. This is a grounded conversation with a founder who understands the full lifecycle of building and backing businesses.

In this episode of Smart Franchising, Dan Rowe sits down with Milo Leakehe and Zach McKinley, co-founders of Imbue Capital, to reveal how they built a multi-brand franchise platform across five verticals without chasing the traditional MUMBO playbook. Milo and Zach share their unconventional strategy of scaling horizontally from day one, giving operating partners massive equity stakes, and rolling up weak franchisees while others pull back.Discover why they give partners millions in equity instead of market-rate salaries, and how this creates operators who think like owners, not employees. Learn their exact vetting process—from the 100-brand list down to five finalists—and why they let partners pick their own brands instead of forcing assignments. Milo and Zach reveal the critical metrics they validate before signing any franchise agreement, including how to build accurate pro formas by contacting every franchisee in the system, rather than relying solely on Item 19.Learn the funding strategies that fuel their growth. From SBA loans and hard money to private equity rollups, they break down when to use each capital source and why seller financing has become their secret weapon for fast, highly-leveraged acquisitions. They share their war wounds from losing six figures by not watching labor costs during a massive Crumble launch, and why controlling your P&L from day one is non-negotiable.Whether you're looking to build a franchise platform, attract operating partners who'll go to war for you, or execute strategic rollups in a recessionary market, this episode delivers the raw playbook for scaling to 100 units by 2032 and building generational wealth for everyone on your team.

The Founderz Lounge Episode #66 with Don Varady and Steve Bon.Don and Steve are back with another round of “Business & Bullsh*t,” where real entrepreneurs talk wins, screwups, and what actually moves the needle in business without the corporate fluff.They kick things off with camping like “homeless men” and wild childhood clubhouse stories, then pivot into why U.S. franchise chains are growing faster internationally than at home and what that really says about brand strategy. From there, they get brutally honest about restaurant standards, why most places lose customers to complacency instead of competition, and the consulting contract that almost ended Don's company and completely changed how he looks at legal protection.Along the way, they hit everything from DoorDash quietly exploding with Boomers and Gen X to Stiller's Soda, strange news, and a rapid-fire round of business lessons, bad decisions, and hard-earned perspective.Hit play for a straight shot of real talk on growth, risk, and what happens when your standards drift before your sales do.Timestamps:[00:00] Trailer[00:50] Founderz Roundup: International franchising[02:53] DoorDash[04:16] Pop Culture Bull Sh*t: Stiller's Soda[05:21] Social Media Update[06:41] Strange News: PepsiCo[07:43] Weekly Mash-Up[07:46] Netflix and Ring Doorbell[09:03] Founderz Hot Take[10:11] Founderz Fast Five[10:17] Childhood memories[11:06] Devil's Night[11:26] Clubhouse in the woods[12:21] Business lesson[13:28] Partnership[14:56] Strangest things seen while driving[16:35] Movie titleKey Takeaways:  • 2024, U.S based chains that expanded outside of the U.S. posted a 4.8% cumulative international growth versus 1.4% domestically. ~Don Varady [01:13]• “Your product isn't the problem.

Mike and Rico debate whether they'd start their new hypothetical franchise with Sam Darnold as its QB.

Dave and Christian are joined by special guests GregaMortis & Carly Sonafelt for The Top 50 Non-Franchise Slasher show!This is Part II of III.

The guys open with a quick recap of Thursday Night Football, where the Seahawks outlasted the Rams in an overtime thriller, before shifting to Dolphins alumni night. With plenty of former Dolphins legends in attendance, the overwhelming sentiment was clear: the franchise needs to move on from Tua Tagovailoa, with concerns ranging from his contract to the toll head injuries may have taken. Tua was the No. 1 topic of conversation at the event, with Mike McDaniel not far behind. The discussion expands to the idea that Miami may need a full organizational reset, because until the Dolphins find a true franchise quarterback, they'll continue to trail teams like the Bills and Patriots.

In this episode of the I Fired My Boss podcast, host Dan Claps sits down with Mike Hagan, the very first franchise owner in the Voda Restoration system and the original believer in the brand. Mike shares his journey from a successful but unfulfilling career in financial sales to becoming a business owner and top performer in the Voda network. He dives into the due diligence process he went through before committing to the brand, what attracted him to Voda over other restoration franchises, and how the hands-on support from Dan and the HQ team gave him the confidence to take the leap. Mike also reflects on the early days of running his franchise while still holding a W-2 job and the importance of surrounding yourself with driven people who share a common mission.The conversation touches on everything from the growth of the Voda system—now over 100 franchisees strong—to Mike's plans for scaling his business into reconstruction and hiring a business development manager. He talks candidly about the highs and challenges of ownership, including the freedom he never imagined and the admin work that caught him off guard. Mike also shares insights on what sets Voda apart in the restoration industry, the power of networking, and how having a husband-and-wife team (with his wife Trish managing the cleaning side) gives them a strategic advantage. Whether you're considering franchise ownership or already on the path, this episode is packed with practical takeaways and real-world perspective from someone who's walked the road and fired his boss for good.
