    Find your inner power and financial freedom, with Felicia Alexander of TITLE Boxing Club

    It’s no secret that the past three years have presented fitness clubs with unseen challenges requiring immense tenacity to power through. But TITLE Boxing, the leading authentic heavy bag boxing club, has risen above the challenges and is now stronger than ever. The brand offers a workout designed to build your fitness, control your breathing, and clear your mind, with more than 145 locations and a proven franchise model that helps franchisees unleash their entrepreneurial spirit. To find out more about the concept, we decided to catch up with Felicia Alexander, CRO of BoxUnion and TITLE Boxing Club,  whose love of fitness started at a very young age. Felicia found her passion for boxing when she was only 16 years old, having lost her father to a sudden heart attack. Channeling the pain, Felicia put on the gloves and felt the inner power she never knew she had. She went on to have a successful career as a sales and marketing executive for companies like Sun Microsystems, Sony, Mattel, and Leaf Group. Together with her business partner, Todd Wadler, they launched BoxUnion back in 2017. Now, having been acquired by BoxUnion in early 2021, TITLE Boxing has been heavily investing in infrastructure and the refinement of operations to support franchisees. Join us on this episode of the Global Franchise Podcast as Felicia talks about exploring a gap in the market, improving members’ experience, and most importantly, knocking out the mental health stigma.

    Break bias and build resilience, with Christina Russell of Radiance Holdings

    The health and beauty sector has certainly shown some resilience coming out of the COVID pandemic. Looking ahead, the global beauty industry market size is expected to increase by 3.5 per cent in 2024, to total $590.9bn, before rising another 3.4 per cent to hit $611.2bn in 2025. One industry-leading organization that has recorded outstanding performance of its flagship brands, is Radiance Holdings. Led by CEO, Christina Russell, the company represents a collection of premier brands in the beauty, wellness and self-care sector, including Sola Salons, the world's largest and fastest growing salon studios franchise; Woodhouse, the largest premium day spa making high-end, resort-level experiences accessible in a neighborhood setting; and BeautyHive, an online distributor of professional beauty products. Radiance Holdings’ sense of community and inclusivity really defines the franchise model, which is why we wanted to catch up with Christina – from the key values that help beat the competition to the lessons she learned as a female executive and the advice she gave to every woman who wants to break the glass ceiling.

    From a legendary California pizza to a global brand, with Giorgio Minardi of California Pizza Kitchen

    If there is one thing the world can agree on, it’s our love for pizza. The overall market size of the pizza restaurant industry in the U.S. topped over $55bn in 2021, making pizza franchises a lucrative business opportunity. But how do you ensure that you stand out from the crowd when the pizza market is only getting further saturated?  Combining unexpected flavors and high-quality ingredients, as well as doing things differently certainly helps. At least that’s the stance for California Pizza Kitchen (CPK). Having launched in Beverly Hills in 1985, CPK offers California-style pizza with a passion for combining fresh, seasonal ingredients with flavor inspirations from across the globe. CPK operates nearly 200 restaurants worldwide and at the end of 2021, the company even launched its first domestic franchising program.  To learn more about the growth of CPK, we wanted to catch up with Giorgio Minardi, executive VP of global development and franchise operations at the company. Having occupied executive roles at a number of international brands, Giorgio brings more than 35 years of business experience to CPK.  Join us as we learn more about the origins of CPK, its values, and how Giorgio is leading the charge when it comes to CPK’s domestic expansion.  To keep your finger on the beating pulse of franchising, sign up for our newsletter at global-franchise.com, subscribe to our definitive magazine, and join the conversation with our experts today on LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook.

    Franchising as a force for good, with Dave Keil of Franworth

    Our guest this week is something of a franchising veteran, having been CEO for a number of large international brands such as Haagen-Dazs, Pure Barre, and The Lash Lounge. Dave Keil is now the president of franchise consultancy Franworth and uses his decades of experience in assisting franchise brands with their growth and development.   In recent years, however, Dave has also turned his talents to the charitable world of non-profits. Having founded Franchise for Good in 2020 – the official non-profit division of Franworth – he now works directly with companies who are seeking guidance to achieve sustainable growth. And with a strong understanding of how to do so on the franchise side of things, Dave has been able to translate these learnings elsewhere.   Join us as we learn more about the origins of Franchise for Good, what the organization is doing to promote ethical causes, and what challenges could impact the business model as we continue through 2023.  To keep your finger on the beating pulse of franchising, sign up for our newsletter at global-franchise.com, subscribe to our definitive magazine, and join the conversation with our experts today on LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook.

    Essential advice for prospective franchisees, with David Weaver of Franchise Your Freedom

    This week we’re joined by David Weaver, an accomplished consultant for FranChoice and the president of Franchise Your Freedom. As the name of his organization would suggest, David is a lifelong advocate for the power of franchising and the independence that the business model can bring.   Over his career, he has helped over 150 business owners spread their entrepreneurial dreams through over 200 individual franchise locations and continues to work with entrepreneurs in realizing their franchising potential.   We wanted to speak with David about what’s hot in franchising right now. That means the kinds of questions that new franchisees should be asking their franchisor, what kind of risks can be associated with the business model, and how the pandemic has elevated the opportunity found within specific segments.  To keep your finger on the beating pulse of franchising, sign up for our newsletter at global-franchise.com, subscribe to our definitive magazine, and join the conversation with our experts today on LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook.
