Hire a manager, train them for weeks… then they quit. Now you’re back at square one, doing everything yourself. Sound familiar?

In this episode, I break down the system I use across 40+ locations to stop constant turnover. You’ll learn why most owners hire wrong, the 5-minute test that reveals who will stick, and how to build a team that actually grows the business with you.

Buying an existing franchise looks like the perfect shortcut—cash flow on day one, a team already in place, and systems ready to run. But after 30+ acquisitions, I can tell you most people do it wrong.

In this episode, I share why 29 of my 30 deals never hit the open market, the three non-negotiables I look for, and how I find off-market resales while avoiding costly mistakes. If you’re serious about buying a franchise—or scaling yo...

A friend recently asked me if FedEx routes are worth buying, so I broke down the real numbers. On paper, they look amazing: established brand, steady cash flow, weekly payments. 

But in this episode, I show you why these routes usually sell cheap—and whether they’re actually worth your money.

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 ...

Most people have no idea how brutal buying a franchise really is. One mistake can cost you everything — I’ve seen it, I’ve made it, and I’ve helped dozens of people avoid it. 

In this episode, I walk you through the exact process top owners use to win — and the landmines that bury everyone else.

Most business owners think they’re delegating—when really, they’re just babysitting. 

In this episode, I share how I broke free from the “check-in, fix-it, redo-it” trap, the power of hiring true “send-delete employees,” and the mindset shift that gives you real freedom as an owner.

The habits that built my $50M/year business weren’t flashy—they were disciplined.

In this episode, I share the simple money rules I followed: avoiding lifestyle creep, automating savings, reinvesting in assets (not toys), using debt strategically, and thinking in decades—not months.

These habits gave me freedom, growth, and wealth that compound year after year.

You see franchises every day. You eat at them. Buy from them. Maybe you even dream of owning one. You think they are all just fast food, or you need to be rich to own one. What you thought you knew about franchising is WRONG!

One cold DM in February turned into Midas store #35.

Then we gave ourselves nine days to open it. In this episode, I break down exactly how we pulled it off, compressing an 8-week process into 10 days, running parallel tasks, and pushing every lever to hit peak-season revenue fast.

You’ll hear the real numbers, the systems we used, and why the winners in business get fired up by starting from zero, not by dreaming about “someday.”

Most business owners aren’t really running a business—they’re just babysitting grown adults.

In this episode, I’ll break down how he did it: why he chose franchising over starting from scratch or buying a $4M business, how he picked the right concept, and how he scaled fast.
