[4:07] Rick’s first venture into entrepreneurialism was at an auto business to help him work his way through college. [6:04] The Phenix Salon Suites is a concept that was developed in Colorado Springs that revolves around giving salon professionals their own space where they get to set their own hours, keep all their revenue, and maintain their environment. [7:49] Rick’s role within this system is more on the backend of the business with cash-flow management, book keeping, and operational arrangements. [10:13] The renovations for a Phenix Salon Suite are quite extensive and require a specific buildout to make the most out of a space while also making it a unique and individualized spot. [15:30] While Rick never saw himself as a salon guru, he began looking into the opportunity with Phenix and he saw opportunity to apply his entrepreneurial spirit from previous experiences to this niche franchise system. [18:13] At each site, they have a manager to help with the onsite help and managing the tenants of each suite so that Rick doesn’t have to maintain presence at each of his five locations. [21:07] The great thing about this business model is that even if the economy does slow down, people still will need to get their hair done, nails done, and other assorted body treatments. The industry is very elastic in that sense. [24:31] Rick didn’t go through an extensive process before buying into Phenix; he did a few site inspections at other locations to be sure the quality was up to par and talked with some of the tenants to be sure this was a concept they loved. He eventually saw the unique opportunity it presented and decided to take the plunge. [26:18] Rick enjoys the aspect of franchising where if your build your business enough, eventually it will start to run on its own.

(FICTION)  In Episode 9, Sophie Brownlie and Rick Day get their meeting with the Utah Medical Examiner to try to convince him to change Madeline Johnson's death certificate from suicide to homicide. Before they leave for Salt Lake, Rick tells Sophie she'd better know why the ME wouldn't change the manner of death determination every other time the Johnson family asked him to do so.
