I had the extraordinary pleasure of speaking with John Hewitt on the podcast! John T. Hewitt is a distinguished American entrepreneur known for his transformative impact on the tax and business services industry. His journey began in 1969 at the University at Buffalo, where he enrolled in an H&R Block tax preparation course. Quickly rising through the ranks, he became the youngest regional director at H&R Block by 1980. Recognizing the need for technological innovation in tax preparation, he left H&R Block to develop cutting-edge decision-tree software and founded Jackson Hewitt, which pioneered electronic filing and grew rapidly. He later established Liberty Tax Service, achieving over 4,000 locations by 2012, and is now the founder of Loyalty Brands, a franchise organization that fosters synergistic business growth across multiple concepts. Hewitt's relentless pursuit of innovation has set new standards in the tax industry and continues to shape the landscape of tax preparation and business services today. Hewitt is also the author of the book iCompete, an autobiography and business strategy book. Get the book for free and learn more at loyaltybrands.com.
