    FOOTBAHLIN MERCH:https://footbahlin-with-ben-roethlisberger.clockwise.io/productsTraining camp is a week away, and we can finally stop pretending the offseason rumor mill counts as “news.” We're feeling the same drought you are, so we talk through what changes the moment the Pittsburgh Steelers hit the practice fields: real updates, real competition, and the first hints of what this new era is trying to be.We dig into what fans can actually watch for in camp beyond highlight clips, starting with scheme. On offense, we look for structure and intent: under center versus shotgun, play action, moving the pocket, and whether the plan feels like a West Coast offense built around timing and control. On defense, we're watching identity cues like blitz frequency, man versus zone coverage, and whether the secondary leans toward Cover 2 or single-high looks. Even in camp, those choices tell you what the coaching staff believes wins on Sundays.Then we get into roster reality and the quarterback conversation everyone's going to argue about. With veteran pass catchers and a strong tight end room, we expect the offense to gel faster than most “new system” situations. We also break down the four-QB puzzle behind Aaron Rodgers: who you keep, who might become trade value when injuries hit around the league, and why the long-term answer at quarterback takes more than a good arm. Ben explains what teams should evaluate over years 2 to 4: progressions, checkdowns, hard counts, audibles, leadership, and how a QB responds when the bad plays show up on tape.Subscribe so you don't miss the training camp audible, and if you're listening as a Steelers fan, share this with the group chat and leave a quick review. What's the first thing you want us to report back from camp?

    Marketer of the Day with Robert Plank: Get Daily Insights from the Top Internet Marketers & Entrepreneurs Around the World

    Too many business owners discover the hard way that a solid idea isn't enough, without strong leadership, real accountability, and reliable people systems, even promising businesses stall out. Drawing on decades in franchising and his work with Complete Pest Solutions, today's guest Dave Roemer shows how clear systems, humble leadership, and a growth-focused culture can turn a local service business into a scalable, high-value asset. In this episode, Dave explains the critical difference between leading people and managing things, and why so many owners get stuck doing instead of delegating. He talks about the mental shift required to “let the racehorses run,” empower your team, and stop clinging to control just to feel useful. Using real-world analogies, from parenting to sports, Dave shows how intentional leadership development, asking better questions, and holding people accountable can transform a franchise from a stressful job into a scalable, team-driven business. Franchising, as Dave describes it, is essentially a “business in a box”: proven systems, branding, and support that let you go into business for yourself, but not by yourself. However, he debunks the myth that buying a franchise guarantees success. You still have to execute, stay humble, follow the system, and continuously improve. Dave shares how to spot whether a struggling location is facing a system problem, a market problem, or a leadership problem, and why great franchisors are constantly revisiting and upgrading their systems to keep franchisees competitive. Dave also reveals his deeper “why”: helping people get a little bit better today than they were yesterday. He talks about using business as a vehicle for building a legacy, funding causes, and serving your community, not just making a paycheck. You'll also hear his favorite guiding quote: “The experience of the customer will never exceed the experience of the team” and what that means for how you treat frontline employees, design your culture, and drive customer happiness at scale. https://youtu.be/eO5RHkCZCQo?si=3qHJOk5o7g5Yv5t9 If you're considering buying a franchise, already own one, or want to turn your current business into something that runs on systems instead of your constant presence, this episode is packed with practical mindset shifts and leadership insights. You'll also hear about Dave's book, “So You Bought a Franchise, Now What”, which offers practical tools and advice for new and existing franchise owners who want to build strong teams, happier customers, and businesses with real, lasting value. Quotes: “Ego has no place in business and no place in leadership. If you think you're the smartest person in the room, you're in the wrong room.” “Nothing in life is automatic. If you believe success is automatic, we need to have a conversation.” “An entrepreneur does not build a business, an entrepreneur builds a team, and the team builds the business.” Contact Details: Visit Complete Pest Solutions to Schedule Your Free Quote and Get a Customized Pest Control Plan So, You Bought a Franchise.

    What happens when a successful corporate executive decides he wants more control over his future? After 22 years at Intel, Ryan Olson had built an impressive career leading business development teams, managing global partnerships and helping create a billion-dollar pipeline. But two rounds of corporate layoffs became the catalyst for a very different path. In this episode of ScaleUp Radio, Ryan shares how he transitioned from corporate leadership into business ownership through the ERA Group franchise, helping mid-sized businesses uncover hidden costs, improve profitability and free up cash for growth. One of the strongest insights from this discussion is that many businesses focus relentlessly on generating more revenue while overlooking significant opportunities to improve profit through smarter cost management. Along the way, Ryan shares the memorable "million-dollar donut" story, explains why franchise ownership appealed more than launching a startup from scratch, and reveals some of the hidden expenses many businesses fail to spot. In this episode: Ryan's journey from Intel to entrepreneurship Spending 22 years building a successful corporate career at Intel Managing global teams and strategic partnerships Why two layoffs changed his perspective on career security Deciding to pursue entrepreneurship through a franchise model Lessons learned about building credibility outside a major global brand Why Ryan chose a franchise model The appeal of a proven system and established methodology Access to marketing support, technology and training Building a business while reducing startup risk The long-term value of creating a saleable asset Why the ERA Group mission resonated personally Understanding the ERA Group model Helping businesses optimise operational expenses Working primarily with companies between £8m and £250m turnover A contingent fee structure that aligns incentives Only getting paid when savings are successfully delivered Creating win-win outcomes for clients The power of specialist expertise Leveraging a network of over 1,000 consultants worldwide Accessing deep category specialists across multiple industries Collaborating rather than competing within the franchise network Delivering expertise beyond a single consultant's background Hidden costs that impact business growth The million-dollar donut freight story Why supplier relationships sometimes hide inefficiencies Insurance cost optimisation opportunities Technology subscriptions for employees who have already left Missed warranty reimbursement revenue The importance of regularly reviewing supplier contracts Ryan's practical 3-step approach to cost optimisation Know your spend Audit vendors, contracts and payment terms Understand exactly where money is going Focus on high-impact opportunities Prioritise one or two categories first Concentrate effort where returns are greatest Monitor and verify results Ensure negotiated savings are actually realised Build ongoing accountability into the process Key Takeaways Growth isn't always about increasing revenue; improving profitability often starts with understanding existing costs. Hidden expenses frequently exist in long-standing supplier relationships. External expertise can uncover opportunities internal teams simply don't have time to investigate. Franchise ownership can provide an attractive route into entrepreneurship through proven systems and support. Cost optimisation creates additional cash that can be reinvested into strategic growth initiatives. One Key Thing The quickest route to improved cash flow is often not finding more customers but uncovering the costs hiding in plain sight inside your existing business.

In this episode of the Zero to Profitable Franchise Podcast, host Chantel Soumis sits down with Erik Harris, owner and general manager of CertaPro Painters of Needham, Massachusetts. Erik started at Sherwin Williams out of college, spent over seven years as a sales rep at CertaPro, and in late 2020 bought the business from the previous owner in the middle of a global pandemic. He breaks down why he chose to stay with the franchise instead of going independent, how he generated 108 new Google reviews in a single year, why business networking became his highest ROI marketing channel, and what he has had to unlearn as a perfectionist to think like a business owner. If you want to understand what franchise ownership actually looks like day to day, Erik's story gives you a clear picture of what that path actually looks like.------------------Considering Investing In A Franchise?

    The Ty Brady Way
    He Took a Second Mortgage and Built a $1M Cleaning Empire. Here's the Model with Tom Richter

    The Ty Brady Way

    On this episode of The Ty Brady Way, Ty sits down with Tom Richter, regional developer for Jan Pro of Utah, a commercial cleaning franchise that has grown under his leadership from a second mortgage and a two-person operation into a 125-franchisee network with a multi-million dollar economic footprint across the state. Tom's story is one that will resonate with anyone who has ever looked at a corporate career and wondered if there was something more, and then actually did something about it. Tom grew up in Nebraska as a farmer, which he describes as the original entrepreneurial proving ground. Risk, reward, and no guaranteed outcome were baked into his upbringing. He carried that mindset into a 21-year corporate career, but after surviving three mergers, acquisitions, and hostile takeovers, the writing was on the wall. Rather than find another company to work for, Tom started looking at what it would mean to finally bet on himself. A former boss had bought into Jan Pro down in Tampa, Tom flew out to meet the founders, and something clicked. Their core values lined up. By the time the flight home landed, his mind was made up. Seven of his eight siblings were entrepreneurs, and he realized he was not supposed to be working for anyone else either. Tom and his wife Carol took a second mortgage out on their home and purchased the rights to develop Jan Pro across the state of Utah, becoming only the 12th city to come on board with the brand and one of the first two locations in the entire Western United States. The first three to five years were exactly what you would expect from any startup. Tom was making sales calls, training new franchise owners, handling operations, and doing whatever needed doing while Carol managed the office while still working remotely for Intermountain Healthcare. Just the two of them for the first six months before bringing on their first hire. Today that team has grown to 12 support staff serving 125 franchise owners across Utah. The Jan Pro model is something Tom explains with a lot of clarity and obvious pride. Rather than sending franchise owners out to fend for themselves, Jan Pro handles the sales, the client contracts, the audits and inspections, the invoicing, and the collections. Franchise owners come to Tom knowing how much business they want to build, they get trained, and then the regional development team goes out and gets their clients for them. Tom compares it to being the general contractor while the franchise owner supplies the labor. It removes most of the barriers that cause small cleaning operations to fail, and it is why the people who follow the model consistently succeed. The success stories are hard to ignore. One franchise owner came in from Logan with just $950, the entry level at the time, starting with $500 a month in cleaning revenue. Twenty years later he is generating $40,000 a month and employs around 20 people, all while keeping his full-time job. Another owner arrived from Venezuela on refugee asylum status after losing three auto mechanic shops in Caracas to the political environment there. He is now Jan Pro Utah's largest franchise owner, on track to hit a million dollars in revenue in just his fifth year with around 35 employees. These are not outliers. They are what the model produces when people commit to it. Tom is candid about what gets people into trouble. The biggest issue is not the cleaning itself, it is management. A husband and wife team or a two-person operation can generally get to $75,000 or $100,000 in revenue on their own, but something shifts when they bring on employees. The expectation that an employee will care about the work the same way they do is where things start to fall apart. Without proper training, supervision, and ongoing engagement, it can unravel fast. His advice is direct: if you do not have strong business acumen, go get it before you need it, whether through SCORE or another resource that can fill in the gaps. Tom also touches on what it takes mentally to make the leap into franchising or any kind of business ownership. He believes roughly 90% of people want to start something of their own, but half of them talk themselves out of it when they honestly assess their risk tolerance and their ability to push through the hard early years. That self-awareness is not weakness, it is honesty, and Tom respects it. But for those who do have that fortitude, the Jan Pro model is structured to give them as much runway as possible to succeed. Looking ahead, Tom expects 20 to 30 percent year-over-year growth for the next five or more years and is on track to earn Gold Circle recognition among Jan Pro's top 20 offices worldwide. His son has been part of the business for 12 years and is moving into ownership, setting up a transition that will carry the business well beyond Tom and Carol's chapter. After 27 years of building, refining, and proving the model, the legacy looks like it is in good hands.   Connect with Tom Richter: Website: janpro.com/utah LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/tomrichterutah   Connect with The Ty Brady Way: Email: thetybradyway@gmail.com Instagram: @thetybradyway   As always, share, like, and subscribe.

    SPOILER ALERT!!! THE EPISODE CONTAINS MAJOR SPOILERS FOR ‘EVIL DEAD BURN' The ‘Evil Dead' franchise means a lot to us. It has touched us on a personal level, it has earned its place in horror history, and it is one of the few franchises in Hollywood to never release a bad installment. We talk about whether ‘Evil Dead Burn' continues the trend and why it will probably always be the most polarizing entry in the series. A few weeks back we talked about how ‘Evil Dead Burn' had to be trimmed in order to get an ‘R' rating. We wondered how bad it could have been and even tried to figure out what extreme horror even means today. As it turns out, ‘Evil Dead Burn' is incredibly graphic. Was it too much or perfect for an ‘Evil Dead' movie? There has been lots of talk about how ‘Evil Dead Burn' does not fit into the franchise. (This seems to be a conversation whenever a new 'Evil Dead film releases.) There is definitely nothing else like it in the series. We also compare it to another movie that was released this year and wonder which was the better ‘Evil Dead' movie. Adventures in Movies! is a part of the Morbidly Beautiful Podcast Network.

Lance Graulich sits down with Alex Filipuk, founder and CEO of Ideal Siding, to discuss how a technology professional with no siding installation experience built a specialized home services franchise with nearly 100 locations across the United States and Canada. Alex explains why siding is an essential service, why it is more complex than roofing, and how that complexity can create opportunity for owners who follow a proven system.

Im Mittelpunkt steht dabei nicht nur der große Klassiker Star Fox 64, sondern auch die Frage, wie sich die Serie immer wieder neu erfunden hat: als technisches Vorzeigeprojekt, als experimentelle Reihe und als Franchise, das mit jeder Generation neue Wege ausprobierte.Besonders spannend wird es dort, wo die Reihe ihre unerwarteten Abzweigungen nimmt. So geht es auch um das lange Zeit nur als Mythos bekannte Star Fox 2 und um Star Fox: Assault, das die Serie auf eine ganz eigene, etwas düsterere Weise weitergedacht hat (mit einer kleinen Prise Panzer Dragoon). Wer wissen möchte, welche Spiele die Identität von Star Fox wirklich geprägt haben und warum die Reihe trotz mancher Umwege bis heute so faszinierend bleibt, sollte unbedingt reinhören.
