Consumers have heard of “dynamic pricing,” when the prices are based on demand within a single moment. But whether they know it or not, they're also contending with “surveillance pricing,” where companies use personalized consumer data to serve up personalized prices. Marketplace's Kristin Schwab reports.

Send us a textImagine a home services business that turns heads, sparks referrals without begging for them, and actually gives families their Saturdays back. That's the vision behind Waterloo Turf — and in this episode of We Bought a Franchise, we sit down with founders Lance Ingram and Tim Lovett to unpack how they're building the first true national artificial turf brand.We start with the origin story. Lance walked away from a traditional corporate path, returned to turf, and validated the model across Austin and San Antonio before ever thinking about franchising. Tim came from a large home services platform and saw turf as a rare opportunity: a niche category with high-ticket installs, low capital requirements, and almost no national competition. Instead of rushing to sell franchises, they raised capital first, built infrastructure, and designed a support system meant to scale responsibly.From there, we dig into the operating model. Waterloo Turf uses generous territories (350,000 population), subcontracted crews, and a single wrapped sales vehicle to keep startup costs lean while preserving room to grow. New owners aren't burdened with real estate, inventory, or large payrolls — and the launch sequence is designed to get franchisees to revenue in roughly 75 days, not “someday.”We also talk numbers — responsibly. Waterloo shares a combined Item 19 P&L from Austin and San Antonio showing a little over $2M in revenue with approximately 16% EBITDA, along with how owner-operators can improve margins by replacing a manager. We break down how marketing actually works in this business: national brand and content layered with local hustle, referral relationships, and what Lance calls “donut economics.”One of the most interesting pieces of the model is the Fresh & Clean maintenance program. Turf isn't truly “set it and forget it,” and Waterloo leaned into that reality by creating a recurring service that protects installs, improves longevity, and drives ongoing client touchpoints. The result is better reviews, more referrals, and an additional revenue stream that stabilizes the business.You'll also hear how turf stretches beyond the typical backyard install — into putting greens, indoor gyms, golf simulators, dog facilities, and commercial spaces — and why those projects often compound through a powerful referral flywheel. We cover supplier relationships, national pricing leverage, turf coaches who fly out to ensure five-star first installs, and why staying focused (no stadium fields, no bolt-on trades) keeps execution tight.If you're comparing traditional home services like HVAC, plumbing, or roofing, this episode offers a contrarian perspective. Those categories are crowded with private-equity-backed platforms. Turf isn't. Waterloo owners often compete against generalist landscapers, giving them a real chance to become the turf authority in their market.If this conversation sparks interest, don't guess whether a turf franchise — or any franchise — is right for you.

Giuseppe Grammatico explains franchising, AI automation, and how real estate investors use franchises to build predictable cash flow and scale smarter.Full DescriptionIn this episode of RealDealChat, Jack Hoss sits down with Giuseppe Grammatico, franchise consultant and founder of GG The Franchise Guide, to break down how franchising intersects with real estate investing, cash flow, and AI-powered operations.Giuseppe shares his journey from Wall Street to entrepreneurship, why franchising is often misunderstood, and how “business-in-a-box” models help investors shortcut years of trial and error. He explains how real estate investors can leverage franchises for recession-resistant income, vendor consolidation, and even hybrid landlord-style models like salon suites and property services.The conversation dives deep into franchise due diligence, why lines out the door don't equal profitability, how to avoid shiny object syndrome, and what investors must look for inside Item 19 disclosures. Giuseppe also explains how AI is transforming franchising—from AI call agents handling 1,000 calls at once to backend automation that reduces staff costs without sacrificing human relationships.If you're a real estate investor looking to diversify income, stabilize cash flow, or integrate AI into operations, this episode delivers real-world clarity.

In this bonus “fireside chat” episode, Voda Cleaning & Restoration founder and CEO Dan Claps pulls back the curtain on the realities of franchise ownership—and why “franchising takes out the guesswork, not the work.” Dan walks listeners through what you're actually buying when you buy a franchise: the systems, the brand, and most importantly, the people and culture behind it. He shares how to evaluate a franchisor's leadership team, what to look for in a discovery process, and the five core questions every serious buyer needs answered—how you'll get customers, how you'll get employees, what makes the brand stand out, what the numbers look like, and what the day-to-day life of an owner really is.Dan is joined by key members of the Voda team, including Chief Development Officer Steve Miller and CMO Christian Betancourt,, who break down how to read the FDD (especially Item 7 and Item 19), why validation calls with franchisees matter, and what “good support” should look like after you sign. The conversation goes deep on operations, onboarding, training, tech, and marketing infrastructure—down to dashboards, CRMs, call centers, and ROI tracking—plus Dan's simple framework for growth (the only four ways to generate leads and the only four ways to grow a business). They also field live questions about what differentiates Voda, the dual cleaning + restoration model, and how the brand keeps franchise owners connected through cohort-style onboarding, Microsoft Teams community, weekly huddles, advisory councils, and conferences, ending with a candid reminder: not everyone is cut out for franchising, and that's okay.

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.
