Interview with Pure Glow Founder

I’ve really enjoyed all aspects of the Modern Business podcast and I was especially intrigued with the interview of the founder of Pure Glow. The show does a really great job on the journey of the founder. I highly recommend this podcast for those who want a better education on the franchise industry.
