They also discuss how choosing the right industry often matters more than chasing a particular brand, and touch on ownership models—including semi-absentee options—that can fit different lifestyles. Whether you’re an investor or aspiring business owner, this episode offers practical insights on using franchises as a powerful wealth-building tool.
