All Things Considered Franchising Podcast
Scotty Milas is a franchise coach who helps people achieve their goals through business ownership. He's been an entrepreneur dating back to his teen years, when he started small businesses mowing lawns, raking leaves, and shoveling snow. In his early twenties, he began a career with a major news organization as a cameraman for the White House Press Corp. Several years later, Scotty could not ignore the calling of his entrepreneurial spirit and so left the news industry to pursue a career in business. After 35+ years of experiences, Scotty has been a significant contributor in various senior leadership positions. Scotty is a team player and recently utilized his expertise in development to help build a well-known national fast-casual concept. His tenure in franchising has landed him on leadership panels at several franchise conferences. Scotty has also earned his certification as a CFE, Certified Franchise Executive. Scotty’s major strengths include his listening skills, where he has the ability to tune in to what his clients’ needs are and balance that with where their interests lie regarding a franchise business. He is exceptional at building relationships and earns the trust of his clients he needs to help them succeed. Scotty truly believes that “It’s all about my clients’ best interests, not mine.” Scotty started the podcast "All Things Considered Franchising" to educate people on the ever-growing franchise industry. Scott is married and has three adult children 2 grandchildren, and splits his time between Western Massachusetts and Florida. When he is not consulting, you can find him with his wife, Ewa, either on the beach, sailing, golfing, or playing tennis.
