In this episode of The Must Read Alaska Show, host Ben Carpenter welcomes Alaska State Representative Will Stapp for an in-depth discussion on the pressing financial and legislative issues facing the state. At the heart of the conversation is House Bill 69, a controversial proposal to significantly increase education funding—without a clear plan to pay for it. Rep. Stapp explains the political maneuvering surrounding the bill, the challenges of balancing Alaska's budget, and the broader implications for taxpayers. Beyond education, they explore the state's looming fiscal cliff, the growing tension between spending and taxation, and the need for programmatic cuts to ensure responsible governance. Rep. Stapp also shares details on his efforts to repeal outdated government programs, his proposed constitutional amendment to cap spending based on private sector GDP, and even the grassroots push to designate an official state dinosaur. With candid insights and behind-the-scenes legislative updates, this episode is a must-listen for Alaskans wanting to understand where their tax dollars are going and what the future holds for the state's economy. Tune in for a deep dive into Alaska's financial challenges, political dynamics, and a few surprises along the way!

Tracy Stapp Herold is the special projects editor at Entrepreneur magazine. The Annual Franchise 500 is her MOST ANTICIPATED publications each year. It is Franchising's equivalent of the Oscars, the Emmy's, the Grammys, albeit minus the red carpet, but it is the Big Deal of the Year, when it comes to ratings. So, what goes into that pot of stew. How many data points are included and how are they massaged, measured and weighted. How much if any, has the changing nature of franchising influenced the curation of the data that drives the 500. Not that long ago, our industry was more Mom and Pop, operator centric with what were typically founder-led brands. Today, it's not unusual to see franchisee enterprises that eclipse many franchisor organizations in size and infrastructure. Massive MUMBO'S multi-unit multi branded operations with dozens sometimes hundreds of locations. And, on the Zor side, we see tons of roll-ups... Portfolios of brands, dominating specific verticals and service areas, led by divisions and subdivisions of Private Equity Sponsors replacing those founder-led concepts of yester year, with the power of professional management, deep pockets for growth and investment, igniting the economies of scale like rocket fuel. It's safe to say that our corner of the world, franchising is a changed place not your dad's old Buick which means what's important in 2025 to the compilation of the Franchise 500 too, must look a lot different. Or does it? Here to answer that and talk a whole lot more about it: Tracy Stapp Herold, Editor of Special Projects, at Entrepreneur Media.

As you start looking at brands to invest in, there's one list that you should definitely check on. The Franchise 500 list is said to be a definitive guide for people who want to buy a franchise. And if you're a franchisor, this is where your hard work is recognized. But you might be skeptical about the integrity of the list. Some even say those who advertise the most get on top of the list. But what is the truth about the Franchise 500 list? Join Over 5,500 Franchisees and Franchisors in our FREE Private Facebook Community HERE: https://www.facebook.com/groups/franchisesecretsfb?_rdc=1&_rdr In this episode, Erik shines the spotlight on Tracy Stapp Herold. As Entrepreneur's Special Projects Editor, Tracy has been analyzing and writing about the franchise industry for more than 20 years now.

Take this opportunity to hear it straight from the person who spearheads the evaluation and ranking of different brands. “Don't discount a franchise just because it's not ranked in the Franchise 500. There are lots of great brands that do not make it into the Top 35−36% of the list, and that doesn't mean that they're not good brands.” - Tracy Stapp Herold In This Episode: - Why are some people skeptical about the Franchise 500 list? - How does the Entrepreneur come up with their annual list? - At what point can brands apply? - What's the value of the Franchise 500 list for a potential franchise buyer? - What information can't you see just by looking at the list? - The most meaningful data that goes into the list - Are there other magazines where franchisors pay to get on the list? - Hot Categories in the Franchise 500 list - The Franchise 500 Hall of Fame List - What should people understand about the Franchise 500 list that they may not know? - Upcoming franchise categories to watch out for And more!

Creed is back and so are we! After a 4 year hiatus, we have decided to do another "season" of Step by Stapp. New episodes will be dropping every other Friday, and we will continue to pepper in our sister podcasts like "Chris & Rob Talk About 90's Cars". Eventually, we will get to the 100th episode of Podcast Town. But first...The Texas Rangers amplified Creed by making "Higher" their anthem this postseason. Creed reunited and will be touring next year. And Chris and Rob are returning to talk Step and Stapp to you every other week. But, there's a slight format change this time. Instead of recapping an episode of Step by Step and then relating it to a Creed song, we will first discuss a Creed song and then actually watch an episode live on the podcast to find out why Scott wrote said song about said episode. Buckle up, because you're about to hear a lot more of Carol, Frank, and the kids in the clan.
