    Before you invest in a franchise, there are two conversations you have to get right: the one with your spouse and the one with yourself. In this episode, we talk openly about what most people avoid: How to get your spouse on board (and what happens if they’re not), what profit potential really means (and what it doesn’t), and how to evaluate if franchising is right for your family and your future. Whether you’re just starting to explore franchises or you’re already deep in research, this conversation will give you clarity, strategy, and a real-world gut check.

    ServPro might not be the first franchise that comes to mind, but with over 2,300 locations and a 22-year streak as the top restoration brand, it should be. In this video, I break down the real startup costs, franchise fees, and the surprising lack of sales data. You'll also learn how the brand grew from a small painting business into a national leader and what that means for you as an investor. We’ll talk about why ServPro's recession-resistant model stands out and why getting a territory now might be nearly impossible. If you're considering service-based franchises or want a business backed by insurance demand, this is one to watch closely.

    Pizza Hut might bring back memories, but does it still deliver when it comes to making money? In this breakdown, I cover the startup costs, royalties, and average sales for each type of Pizza Hut location. I also unpack whether the investment makes sense based on real numbers from their latest FDD, and throw in a few wild facts (like what topping went to space).
