What separates good franchisors from great ones? This episode unpacks the lessons behind building, scaling, and selling franchise brands that thrive long term. Kevin Wilson has spent his career at the intersection of strategy and franchising, turning ideas into nationally recognized brands and scaling businesses others thought couldn't be scaled. From growing Mosquito Joe into a 350-unit system before selling to Neighborly, to acquiring and expanding British Swim School from 60 to 360+ locations, his track record of franchise growth speaks for itself.In this conversation, Kevin shares what it really takes to grow a franchise brand. He explains how strong unit economics forms the foundation for success, why data and analytics transformed support for franchisees, and how brand positioning and marketing can set a concept apart in crowded industries. He also shares the critical factors franchisors should consider when deciding when to scale, when to exit, and how to prepare for the next wave of shifts such as AI, technology, and rising customer expectations.Kevin is the Chairman and CEO of Buzz Franchise Brands, a multi-brand franchising company that includes Pool Scouts (pool cleaning), Home Clean Heroes (residential home cleaning), The British Swim School (swimming lessons), Wonderly Lights (holiday lighting), and the former owner of Mosquito Joe, a 350-unit system before selling to Neighborly in 2018. Prior to this, he co-founded Volaris, a low-cost airline and now the largest airline in Mexico, spent several years in Private Equity and oversaw $160M in capital, was an Executive with South African Airways, and prior to this was a Consultant with Bain and Company in the Dallas Office. Whether you're an emerging franchisor or leading a multi-brand system, this episode is packed with practical insights to help you scale smarter and build a franchise brand that lasts.Connect with Kevin WilsonBuzz Franchise Brands - https://buzzfranchisebrands.com/Email - k.wilson@buzzfranchisebrands.comLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevinwilsonbfb/Episode Highlights:Kevin's journey from Bain and Company to bagels to Buzz Franchise BrandsLessons learned building and selling Mosquito JoeHow positioning and marketing transformed franchise growthHow data and real-time analytics transformed franchisee supportHow Kevin timed his Mosquito Joe exit by watching franchise valuationsAcquiring British Swim School and scaling it from 60 to 360+ locationsThe role of purpose and mission in franchise growthWhat franchisors must prepare for next: AI, technology, and rising customer expectationsConnect 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

You can feel that in people, an openness, or maybe it's an opening that you're talking into. With other people, people who haven't been through something like that, you feel the solid wall.

There's been a lot of consternation over the White House decision not to consider worships spaces sanctuaries from immigration raids, but our law has never said they were. Plus, the local news for August 11, 2025, and author Kevin Wilson. Credits: This is a production of Nashville Public RadioHost/producer: Nina CardonaEditor: Miriam KramerAdditional support: Mack Linebaugh, Tony Gonzalez, LaTonya Turner and the staff of WPLN and WNXP
Local, award-winning author Kevin Wilson has deep Tennessee roots: he grew up in Franklin County, attended Vanderbilt, and today, teaches at Sewanee: The University of the South. Earlier this year, he released his latest novel, Run for the Hills. Like much of his work, the story considers the, (sometimes unexpected) ways “family” can come to be. He sat down with "This Is Nashville" to read an excerpt of his new release, talk about his upbringing in Tennessee and share his thoughts about why fiction writing is important in today's world (and how, in his mind, it shares some similarities with professional wrestling).This episode was produced by Cynthia Abrams. Relevant reading: Wilson is the author of seven books: Tunneling to the Center of the Earth, The Family Fang, Perfect Little World, Baby, You're Gonna Be Mine, Nothing to See Here, Now Is Not the Time to Panic and Run for the Hills. If you're more of a movie-goer than a reader, Wilson's first novel, The Family Fang, was adapted into a feature film (produced and starred in by another Middle Tennessee dweller, Nicole Kidman).

We always love reading on a theme, and today's guest would love to see her real-life love of the ocean mirrored in the pages of her books. Noelle Leong is a science and medicine-focused librarian at a small liberal arts college. She especially loves her work for the opportunities it provides her to join the students on trails and visiting tidepools. So it's perhaps unsurprising she'd love Anne's help finding books about the ocean, whether that means pop science, books where the ocean is the setting, or even a character—she's up for anything. While this isn't an exclusively summery theme, so many readers associate the ocean with summer vacations and family trips, so it feels like just the right time to dive in and find titles that will appeal to Noelle's reading wishes right now. Find the list of titles mentioned today and share your ocean reading recommendations by leaving a comment on our show notes page at whatshouldireadnextpodcast.com/482 For more summer reading fun, join us in the Modern Mrs Darcy Book Club. We had a blast at our Summer Reading Guide Unboxing party, and next week, we're hosting Summer Reading Guide author Kevin Wilson for our June live author talk. Book Club is a great place to gather with fellow readers and talk all about this summer's most discussable books. Join the fun at modernmrsdarcy.com/club Learn more about your ad choices.

He was the head football coach at the University of Oklahoma from 1999 to 2016. He led the Sooners to a 191-48 record over his career. His 2000/2001 team won the national championship. He earned the National Coach of the Year award the same season. Since 2020, Stoops has been a head coach in the XFL, winning an XFL Championship in 2023 with the Arlington Renegades. He played college football at the University of Iowa, earning team MVP his senior year as a defensive back. Notes: Coaches Bob has worked for: Hayden Fry at Iowa, Bill Snyder at Kansas State, and Steve Spurrier at Florida. He's worked for some amazing coaches. Relationships are everything. You must connect with people. You must be authentic. Learn from other coaches, but you have to be yourself Sherri Coale: “One of my favorite things about him is he's the busiest man on the planet but never appeared that way. That's a skill and an art. That fascinates me.” What makes a great head coach? They relate to people. They care about them. They can motivate and influence by clearly sharing the vision of the program and inspiring others to get on board. They are decisive people. Most importantly, they know how to connect with people. All leadership is a people business. If you can't connect with others, you'll probably struggle. Creating a “coaches forest” (beyond a tree) - Mike Stoops, Mark Mangino, Mike Leach, Bo Pelini, Kevin Sumlin, Kevin Wilson, Lincoln Riley, and more. How has Bob prepared so many guys to be successful head coaches? Hiring – “I always tried to hire people smarter than me.” A lot of people say this, but not all do this. Coach Stoops looked for people who had a track record of performance… And then he used his gut instincts after he spent time with him. He paid attention to how they treated his secretary, how they treated the waiter at lunch… Some call those the little things, but they were very important to Coach Stoops The overarching theme of the entire conversation was the simplicity of how Coach Stoops built his program. He didn't try to overcomplicate anything. He knew he wanted coaches who were accomplished, high-character people. And he wanted tough players who loved football. Their offenses may have looked exotic but they didn't have a ton of plays installed. They focused on what they did and then practiced it relentlessly so that they would execute better than their opponents. I think there's something beautiful in the simplicity with how he's built his program and the results speak for themselves. Great players want to be coached - Jeremiah Smith, Adrian Peterson. What he looked for in players: They have to LOVE football. Need to be tough and physical. Someone like Dan Cody. From Oklahoma, was skinny, and nobody on the staff wanted to give him a scholarship, but Coach Stoops did, and he turned out to be a great player. Liked to keep local guys home. Off-season workouts create the culture of the team. "We won because we outworked everyone." The attitude of the national championship team - "They were tired of being kicked around." And "I shared with them the history of Oklahoma and let them know the way it should be. When we started, they were a losing team." Josh Heupel - The most valuable recruit ever for Coach Stoops. Mike Leach was a 1 of 1. An original. He seemed relaxed and casual, but he was also very demanding that they do it right. He was also focused on just a few plays instead of trying to do everything. FOCUS. Do what we do Wife Carol - Impressive leader at Mary Kay. Won a pink Cadillac 16 years in a row. National Sales Director. Life/Career Advice - Go hard, be tough, be true to yourself, enjoy the struggle, and look forward to the fight. Nothing great happens without going through struggles first.
