Have you ever wondered about the world of owning a franchise? This was the show for you. In fact, it will be the show for you next week too, because we had such a good time, we asked everyone to come back to finish the conversation.
We first had Ruth Garcia, a franchise consultant 
with RG2 Consulting. She helps people looking to buy a franchise discover the perfect franchise for them. She brought in a client and a Master franchiser in to talk with us about their businesses.
We spoke with Curtis Crays who owns a local franchise of Archadeck, a builder of decks, sunrooms, and outdoor spaces. He shared with us about his transition from corporate life to now wearing all the hats.
Then we spoke with Christie Spencer, a Master Franchisee of Always Best Care. This was a unique look at what kind of service a franchise could have…but not all get this kind of support. We surprised Christie a little, by calling one of her franchises that she works with to get an idea of what kind of help she really gives.
Last, we spoke with David Lundstrom, who owns a three local franchises of the UPS Store. It was good to get a seasoned franchisees perspective.
We’ve learned a little bit about them all, next week, we are going to have them all back to dig a little deeper. It should get interesting! Join us Saturday at 8 am on AM 560, KLZ radio.

Do you play to win?
A friend of mine challenged me with an idea last week, and I can’t get it out of my head. He asked me if I was “playing to win”, or “playing to not lose.” At the time, I was a little caught off guard. It didn’t settle with me very well. I thought, of course [...]
