Leadership Evolution. Robin Gagnon, co-founder of We Sell Restaurants franchise, and the chair of IFA's Women's Franchise Committee thinks it's time to rethink leadership. In fact, this year's theme for the WFC is: Leadership Evolution.

Listen in to her thoughts on this episode of The Franchise Woman Podcast: Where Passion & Purpose Collide.
