Most people look at franchises all wrong—they see it as buying a job.
In this episode, I break down why the real wealth comes from scaling, not selling. You’ll learn how to stack cash flow, multiply locations using the copy-paste model, and why I don’t care what my $50M business is “worth.” One franchise won’t change your life—but ten might.

A business making $430K a year selling for $350K sounds too good to be true — and with Amazon delivery routes, it just might be.
In this episode, I pull real listings and break down what’s really behind those numbers.

I sold a business for $1. Not $100k. Not $10k. One dollar.
Why? Because I fell for the “semi-absentee” franchise lie — the one that promises you passive income in just 5–10 hours a week while keeping your job.
It’s complete BS. And it cost me $300,000 over six years to learn the hard way.
In this episode, I break down which franchise models will bleed you dry, when semi-absentee can actually work, and how to avoid the $300K mistake I ...
