The Streetwise Podcast Unknown

The very first episode of The Streetwise Podcast was released on May 24th 2023.

It's only right that on May 24th 2024 we release an episode with Erik Van Horn from Front Street Equity Partners. I mean, talk about full circle!
I have been a franchisee for almost a decade, but it wasn't until listening to the Franchise Secrets Podcast, hosted by Erik Van Horn that I truly learned how many opportunities there were in the franchise world.

I am beyond grateful for the opportunity to learn from Erik on this platform. He is has been a mentor from afar for years and is an absolute BEAST in the franchise space.

In this episode we talk about Erik's rise in entrepreneurship through franchising, we talk about the differences between below average franchisees and great franchisees, as well as how to determine between below average franchisor and great franchisors.

I would be remiss if I didn't take the opportunity to take the opportunity to level up myself!

Front Street is making waves for their franchise brands, and these waves are looking to raise all ships.

I help people everyday evaluate if they are ready to franchise ownership.

If you are looking for a bit of encouragement to help get you off of ZERO and moving towards achieving your dreams, this is the episode for you.
Often when we get punched in the stomach, and knocked down, we are ready to quit and give up on everything that we have ever wanted to do or become.
Jamie Dawson is a beautiful example of what you can build when you choose to stand right back up and to keep fighting for who you are and the dreams you want to achieve.
She did not let adversity stop her from taking her life into her own hands and launching her DryBar franchise business. In fact, she is using that adversity to bless the lives of those who are in her community and on her team.
The road is long, and her story is just beginning, but if you are wanting to make a change in your life, then this is the episode for you.
I loved every minute of our conversation. You're gong to want to buckle up for this episode. It's short, but it's POWERFUL.
Thanks for tuning in.
