Whether you’re purchasing a franchise, franchising your business, or looking for career opportunities in franchising, you’ll find a wealth of information and insights in the Franchise Hot Seat Podcast. The show includes “shorts” that focus on an idea, topic, trend or tutorial relative to franchising and full-length podcasts that include guests that cover the gamut of topics in franchising. Here’s the thing that sets this franchise podcast apart from the others: The focus is not about selling a franchise or even selling franchising! Dr. Hayes tells everyone, “Franchising may not be for you.” He’s not afraid to talk about the pros and cons of franchising. And he’s not afraid to point out pitfalls. He’ll tell you, “Not all franchise opportunities are created equal. Neither are franchisors or franchisees!” He won’t just tell you, “Do your homework,” he’ll show you how to do your homework and caution you about the pitfalls of franchise due diligence. Oh! Did you think he’s a franchise broker using a podcast to cultivate leads? He’s not, though he often features brokers and he’ll get into the weeds with them about their commissions, the work they do, their interest in finding the best person for the right franchise, etc. The Franchise Hot Seat Podcast will help you cut through the hype and that’s important at a time when franchising is soaring to new levels of interest. This is a show that teaches, sometimes preaches, and always reaches below the surface of franchising and related topics. Tune in to the Franchise Hot Seat Podcast to learn more about the pros and cons of franchising and how it might present opportunities that will improve your life.
