In this episode of the Franchise Unfiltered Podcast, Wes sits down with franchise veteran Zach Beutler to talk about his latest venture: Jungle Driving — a groundbreaking driver’s education concept that's saving teen lives and reshaping what franchising looks like in the education space.

 

We dive deep into: 

 

✅ How Jungle Driving blends UPS safety methods with teen-focused learning

✅ What it takes to scale a franchise from one concept to a national brand

✅ Why most driver’s ed programs are outdated (and how Jungle fixes it)

✅ How Zach bounced back from bankruptcy to build one of the most promising new brands in franchising

✅ Creative, low-cost customer acquisition strategies without relying on digital ads

✅ Building a franchise system that parents and kids love

 

Whether you’re a parent, a franchise investor, or just someone passionate about business innovation — this is one you don’t want to miss.
