And this is something that really came about because when we were taking care of my father-in-law, with his diagnosis that he had, he kinda became my best friend during those 2 years because wherever I went, he came with me. He would come in the car with me. We would be in the car going for rides, and he'd just be kinda staring out in the sky, dazing, and really wasn't communicating. What I had in my car, seriously Sinatra. My father liked big band music. Frank Sinatra, Henry Warren, Sammy Davis junior. He would like to listen to it. So I used to put this on in my car, and I watched his whole demeanor change. He started talking with me. He started reminiscing about going to dates with my mother-in-law and things like that. That's what we did with this whole one you love global.

    Beyond the Bottom Line: WellBiz Brands’ Success Story In the Wellness Industry with Jeremy Morgan

    Buckle up for a brand new episode of the Franchise My Business podcast, hosted by Kevin Oldham. Today, we're getting into the nitty-gritty of franchising and the potential for building empires in personal services and beauty industries. Kevin and our awesome guest, Jeremy Morgan, the CEO of Wellbiz Brands, are gonna talk about operational simplicity, membership models, and the importance of a consumer-focused membership experience. We'll also explore the benefits and challenges of having a common tech stack for multiple brands and learn about the unique nature of Wellbiz Brands' business. Let’s get into it! HIGHLIGHTS Franchising Growth Stories: A Strategy Guy's Perspective- Jeremy Morgan “My first job in the franchising world was at Smashburger. Actually, I joined the Smashburger team in 2010 after some stints at investment banking and consulting. I was just coming in as a strategy guy. Smashburger had 25 or so units at the time and had just started to take off, and it was a heck of a ride. I was there for 4 years. We went from 25 units to 300. It was a mix of corporate owned and franchise, so it was about 50/50 on each. I think we built 60 restaurants in my 1st 6 months there. I just learned so much and really fell in love with the model. I didn't know that much about franchising specifically when I jumped in. I had a passion for consumer concepts and retail, and this one was a really hot one at the time, so I was really excited to move to Denver and be a part of the management team there. And I ended up leaving the marketing team for 4 years. And so we learned a lot about how to do marketing in a franchise context and what it means to drive results for franchisees and corporate units at the same time.” Get the inside scoop on Jeremy Morgan!

    Discover Your Strength and Conquer Life’s Challenges - Path to VUCA Fit with Jose Bolaños

    Welcome back to the Franchise My Business Podcast, hosted by Kevin Oldham. Get ready for an exciting and heart-to-heart conversation in today’s episode. We're diving into a fruitful discussion with Jose Bolaños about the profound impact of how we treat animals and the VUCA approach to life. But what are the key components of the VUCA Fit method, and how do they contribute to building mental resilience and emotional intelligence? Together, let’s explore the concept of VUCA Fit (volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous) in everyday life, discussing its application, the acceptance of emotions, and the necessity of a positive mindset. Tune in as Kevin and Jose share their new business venture, aimed at empowering individuals with tools to navigate life's complexities while having more fun and profitable businesses. Let’s dive in! HIGHLIGHTS: Understanding Emotional Responses - Jose Bolaños “I'm working with a client recently who tends to, from their perspective, overreact in certain circumstances, and use words like I disproportionately overreact to the circumstances. And this happens to me, and it's completely irrational. And they're using this language. It's, to me, it's brutal language. It's no. You're just reacting. It's completely rational. It's completely human, but the whole language around it generates suffering. And so I heard their perspective, and I heard what they were saying. And then I was like, give me let me show you a video, and I brought up certain sense making tools. I call them sense making tools. I'm like, I want you to watch this video with what you just said about this and that. Watch this video, and then we'll talk about it. So she watched the video and she said, oh, that's it. That's so it's called above the line, below the line. She's, I'm going below the line. You just gotta find ways to come above the line.” Building a Movement Committed to Self-Work and a Greater Purpose - Kevin Oldham “We could create a movement of people who are unbreakable, people who are committed to something greater than themselves, and furthermore, people who are willing to do the self work necessary to honor their commitment, to honor why the heck they are on this big rock. And We had to use in your tutu the acronym VUCA, V U C A. And I had been mentally in over my head since I've been working with you. I'm like, you had been working to get me to be a VUCA capable person, and I didn't like the word capable. I felt like I sucked. And I was like, no, man. I'm trying to get fit. Like, capable is just, hey. I'm capable of walking across the road. No. I wanna be fit. I wanna go across the road in the best way that I possibly can. And so we came up with a brand called.” Connect and learn more about Jose Bolaños by visiting his socials below: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joseeduardobolanos/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/hite-digital/ Website: https://vuca.fit/ Find out more about Kevin Oldham and Franchise My Business: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevinoldham/ Website: https://kevinoldham.live/ Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/franchise-my-business/id1662386614 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4Vaii25ruNrSph6F6JZm8W #franchise #business #franchiseowner #entrepreneur #businessowner #startups #franchisor #franchisemybusiness
