On today’s episode of the Smart Franchising Podcast, we sit down with Brian Beers, a franchise broker and entrepreneur who built a $45M franchise empire from scratch.
At just 37, Brian scaled his franchise portfolio of Midas shops to 33 locations, challenging the norms of franchising and proving that creativity, servant leadership, and strategic thinking can fuel explosive growth.
Brian shares the secret to his success including how mastermind groups helped accelerate his business, the importance of shifting from operations to strategy, and why aligning with the franchisor's long-term vision is critical to sustainable expansion.
Brian shares, “To truly grow a business, you have to replace yourself in operational roles. Hire, train, and empower your team to handle the day-to-day so you can focus on strategic expansion. It’s about progress, not perfection, letting go of control and trusting your people.”
Whether you're a franchisor, franchisee, or aspiring entrepreneur, this episode is packed with invaluable insights from someone who’s truly built it all from the ground up!
