    Scaling a Breakfast Franchise and How You Can Invest Your Bacon

    John Gelastopoulos, CEO of Broken Yolk Cafe, offers advice to independent restaurant owners considering franchising. He emphasizes the importance of building strong systems, maintaining high-quality standards, and fostering a positive team culture. John also discusses the profitability of breakfast items like eggs and pancakes due to high margins. Broken Yolk Cafe was one of the first restaurants he was tasked with selling. But seeing potential in the brand himself, and having developed a passion for the industry, John spent every penny he had to purchase the venue. Since that day in 1993, he has grown the emerging franchise to 40 locations, and is embracing a ‘challenger mindset’ to stake the legacy concepts claim in the growing breakfast and brunch segment. John shares how he won over a potential franchisee by offering personalized support. Unlike a competing brand that provided minimal guidance, he promised to "hold their hand until they learn how to walk." This commitment to hands-on mentorship convinced the franchisee to sign the agreement immediately. Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe to stay updated with our latest episodes.

    Turn Green Into Gold: Why This Lawn Care Franchise Is Your Next Big Opportunity!

    Rob Palmer has been a part of the lawn care industry for over a decade, launching his own Ohio-based lawn care company, WeedPro, back in 2001. His long-term success caught the attention of Authority Brands, a leading portfolio company that specializes in home services, which acquired the company in 2023. Through that acquisition, WeedPro rebranded and began franchising as Lawn Squad, which offers comprehensive lawn care services, from fertilization and weed control to aeration, seeding, and insect control, serving both residential and commercial properties.   Rob shares how he successfully transitioned into teaching turf care, which surprisingly turned out to be easier than expected. He developed a rigorous 12-week training program led by PhD Ryan Waltz, the director of training. He describes how Lawn Squad maximizes productivity by completing 12 months of work in just nine and a half months through smart strategies. The speaker highlights the advantage of franchising in different climates, allowing year-round operations. Initially expanding from Cleveland to Columbus and Cincinnati extended their work season by a few weeks, but with franchises now in southern states like Georgia and Texas, they’ve achieved continuous, 12-month business operations. He emphasizes the importance of building net worth through their company, Lawn Squad, and now helps franchisees see beyond annual income to understand the broader impact on their financial future and overall wealth. He also discusses the success of a franchise model in its first year, highlighting that nearly 75% of franchise owners are semi-absentee, managing their business while holding full-time jobs.

    Why This 33 Year Old Left Private Equity And Turned To A School Funding Business

    Jamie Krasnov is the CEO of Apex Leadership. Apex addresses a major problem in U.S. schools by streamlining fundraising efforts. With about 150,000 schools across the country, including 80,000 elementary schools, most rely on community-driven fundraising to supplement limited government funding. He emphasizes a focused approach to business by investing all of his energy into a single venture rather than diversifying. He highlights the importance of not just financial returns but also creating meaningful opportunities, particularly by empowering entrepreneurs through franchising. Jamie explains how the franchise program involves sending field staff to schools for two weeks to teach kids fitness and leadership through daily lessons, culminating in a fun run. Leveraging advanced technology, the program significantly boosts school fundraising efforts, often increasing amounts by 10x, with some schools raising up to $200,000. The model provides sustainable profits for franchisees, with 80-90% of schools returning to participate. Jamie describes a 3-to-5-week, 6-step process for evaluating candidates for Apex. The focus is on understanding their "why," their values, and cultural fit, rather than just their skills. The process includes conversations with the internal team, franchisees, and the brand leader to ensure mutual alignment. If both parties are a good fit, candidates are invited to a discovery day to finalize the experience.

    A Company That Cares For Your Most Valued Possessions... Your Home And Family

    Ryan Parsons, CEO of Evive Brands, describes how he and his brother started a company called "Brothers That Just Do Gutters," initially operating as a single location with their brother handling all the work. As they built the business together, it eventually grew into a successful franchise with over 100 franchisees across 400 territories. Evive Brands is a caring partner in your family's journey towards a healthier, happier life. Evive's trusted family of services include Executive Home Care, Assisted Living Locators, Grasons Estate Sales & Business Liquidations, and The Brothers That Just Do Gutters! Ryan emphasizes that aspiring franchise owners should first perform a self-assessment and "gut check." Success often depends more on personal leadership skills than the franchise model itself. Many franchise failures result from poor leadership, despite having proven blueprints. To succeed, individuals should focus on improving their leadership, management, and interviewing skills through books, podcasts, and other resources. Ryan offers tips and advice for potential franchise buyers, emphasizing the importance of self-reflection and leadership skills. He suggests that successful franchisees thrive due to strong leadership, while failures often stem from weak personal management. He advises immersing oneself in leadership resources, like books and podcasts, to enhance skills in interviewing and management.

    Not Just A Coffee Franchise Business But A Lifestyle Brand Built For The Community

    Mark Janasik is the Co-Founder of Southern Grounds & Co, an award-winning coffeehouse that reimagines vibrant, healthy communities. He discusses Southern Grounds’ journey into franchising, starting with their 3 corporate locations and plans to add 4 more within a year. The franchising idea took off when HMS Host, a global powerhouse, discovered Southern Grounds and wanted them in Jacksonville International Airport, impressed by their unique coffee experience. Each Southern Grounds location personalizes 20% of its menu, allowing franchisees to choose from proven 'Chef Selections' based on local demand. With analytics and a flexible selection of 20-30 additional menu items, the brand ensures profitability by optimizing menu mix and food costs. Mark talks about how Southern Grounds collaborates with preservation architects and designers to honor the history and character of buildings and communities, often using renovations to spark revitalization across neighborhoods. Their approach makes each coffeehouse a cornerstone of local redevelopment. Mark is seeking franchisees with passion for community, coffee & culinary excellence. He looks for entrepreneurial candidates who appreciate hospitality, sustainable cooking, and seasonal flavors. Ideal franchisees are financially qualified, community-focused, and driven to make a positive impact. Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe to stay updated with our latest episodes.
