What if real success isn’t measured by scale alone, but by how deeply you serve the people you lead? In this episode, host Dionne Malush sits down with Dr. Tom DuFore for a powerful conversation on leadership, franchising, and the kind of growth that lasts. From building profitable systems to staying grounded through chaos, Tom shares how purpose-driven leadership and a focus on people can transform businesses and lives alike. This episode goes beyond tactics and dives into the mindset required to build something meaningful, resilient, and truly impactful.
Together, Dionne and Tom explore hard-earned lessons from navigating adversity, leading through uncertainty, and choosing relationships over shortcuts in an increasingly automated world. You’ll hear why franchising is not a get-rich-quick path, how greatness is a daily pursuit rooted in gratitude and grit, and why success multiplies when leaders commit to lifting others as they grow. If you’re a business owner, leader, or entrepreneur searching for sustainable growth with heart, this conversation will challenge you to think bigger and lead better.
