On this podcast, I plan on interviewing people that “make it look easy”. Now, what do I mean by that? We all know someone who is uber successful in one way or another. Maybe they have a thriving business, maybe they are in peak physical shape, or maybe they have the perfect relationship with everyone in their family. The fact is, these things don’t happen by accident. They take years of hard work and dedication. I’m looking to answer the question of how someone gets to where they are.

Naturally, a few months after we closed the business, the franchisor sued me for $60,449.91 to recover the royalties they would have collected over the remaining 7 years of my franchise agreement.
