    Building Horizontal Income via Franchises

    When we hear "franchise," most of us think of McDonald's, Dunkin', or Tim Hortons. But did you know there’s a world of franchise opportunities beyond fast food—many of which might be a better fit for first-time owners? In this episode of Chasing Goalposts, we sit down with Bill Rodriguez, a seasoned franchise expert and Certified Franchise Consultant, to explore the path to franchise ownership and how it can serve as a powerful horizontal income stream. We cover: 🔹 What exactly is franchising, and how does it work? 🔹 Why do so many 9-5 professionals explore franchises to build additional income? 🔹 What’s the difference between semi-involved and full-time franchise ownership? 🔹 How has the franchise industry evolved post-COVID, with more mobile and home-based models? 🔹 How much time and investment does it really take to build a successful franchise while working a full-time job? 🔹 What does a Franchise Consultant like Bill actually do, and how can he help you navigate the franchise world? If you’ve ever considered owning a franchise—or are just curious about how franchising works—this episode is packed with actionable insights.  Plus, we’re offering a free downloadable Franchise Primer to help you get started!

Clark gives us a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of Left Hook Videos, a company that has become a trusted partner for impactful video storytelling. He opens up about the highs and lows of entrepreneurship, including a critical turning point in 2017 when a strategic pivot helped him refocus and build a thriving business. Along the way, we hear the wisdom of his father’s advice: “If it was easy, everyone would do it.” Beyond Left Hook Videos, Clark discusses his vision for a car wash staffed by individuals with autism—a venture driven by a passion for making a meaningful impact.
