Tell us a 53 00:04:23.139 --> 00:04:27.250 little bit. Let us free an aid. Sure, and thank you for 54 00:04:27.329 --> 00:04:30.850 that delightful introduction. Fam You always make me sound so impressive and I and 55 00:04:30.930 --> 00:04:35.970 I appreciate that. I do have a passion for Franchising, as you know, 56 00:04:36.250 --> 00:04:42.199 and and really have enjoyed my time as Fran serve and what we've done 57 00:04:42.399 --> 00:04:46.319 is, you know, I've always had to do something more than just business, 58 00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:50.639 right. So Franchising, as you know, helps people become entrepreneurs. 59 00:04:50.839 --> 00:04:56.149 Well, I've cited that Fran serve as we continue our path, has to 60 00:04:56.269 --> 00:05:01.149 be a pedio, a purpose driven organization. So Fran aid is an initiative, 61 00:05:01.189 --> 00:05:05.430 a Fran Serf that I started two years ago to be able to give 62 00:05:05.550 --> 00:05:12.740 back to organizations that are extraordinary and doing wonderful things, and we have donated 63 00:05:12.860 --> 00:05:17.500 money to Deck Fran, obviously to help the veterans and Franchising. We get 64 00:05:17.579 --> 00:05:24.089 so to wires, which is an Australian organization that helps with the wildfires, 65 00:05:24.250 --> 00:05:28.569 and we also have done so. We're of course, Freedom Service doorks of 66 00:05:28.610 --> 00:05:32.089 America, which provides service doors to veterans and also six people, and of 67 00:05:32.209 --> 00:05:36.959 course, Susan GCOMB and Foundation for breast cancer. So we're continuing to do 68 00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:41.639 that mission and that's very near and dear to me, along with helping people 69 00:05:41.720 --> 00:05:46.800 become entrepreneurs through franchise ownership. I love it. I Love I love your 70 00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:51.589 art and your passion for giving back while still maintaining very, you know, 71 00:05:51.750 --> 00:05:57.629 strong leadership in the business and specific, specifically the franchise community. And not 72 00:05:57.790 --> 00:06:00.230 that you're played isn't full enough, but you're also the CEO and publisher a 73 00:06:00.389 --> 00:06:08.459 Franchise Dictionary magazine. So I know that. I absolutely love your motto work 74 00:06:08.579 --> 00:06:15.620 hard, Play Hard, help others repeat. It's a no simple little words. 75 00:06:15.699 --> 00:06:18.250 Right. Absolutely, and and David, let's let's jump over you. 76 00:06:18.329 --> 00:06:21.529 I want to give our listeners a little bit of background on yourself. I 77 00:06:23.009 --> 00:06:28.250 know that you launched your career and Franchising during your senior year at Virginia Tech. 78 00:06:28.730 --> 00:06:32.720 VPI is the manager of to seven eleven food stores and over the next 79 00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:38.160 seventeen years and over a hundred and forty stores later, you're promoted to what 80 00:06:38.319 --> 00:06:43.040 they called regional sales manager, district sales manager and market director for the stores 81 00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:47.629 in southeast Virginia as well as North Carolina. Later, David accepted a position 82 00:06:47.629 --> 00:06:54.750 as national director of sales training for the retail division of Electric Mobility Corporation, 83 00:06:54.790 --> 00:07:00.579 a medical mobility products manufacture that is headquartered in New Jersey. And in January 84 00:07:00.740 --> 00:07:06.060 two thousand and thirteen, that's when you became an independent franchise consultant for franc 85 00:07:06.100 --> 00:07:11.779 serve and then in that same year, accepted the position of director of marketing 86 00:07:12.660 --> 00:07:16.850 from their main maintained and got promoted to VPA franchise development in two thousand and 87 00:07:16.970 --> 00:07:21.810 sixteen. And then in May of two thousand and eighteen, accepted the position 88 00:07:23.129 --> 00:07:30.079 of chief franchise expansion officer, really overseen the Franchise Development and expansion division of 89 00:07:30.279 --> 00:07:33.959 Francer, which hence is why you and Alicia are working so closely together. 90 00:07:36.279 --> 00:07:42.120 That's correct, Sam. Franchising has been extremely good to me, dating back 91 00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:46.949 to my college days, and it was then that I learned that a duplicable 92 00:07:47.110 --> 00:07:51.589 model is just a very successful model, and that's what I found to be 93 00:07:51.629 --> 00:07:58.430 true all throughout my career and franchising. He's a very solid business relationship and 94 00:07:58.509 --> 00:08:01.259 I can say you right now the franchise industry is healthy, it's growing, 95 00:08:03.100 --> 00:08:09.420 it's thriving, despite the negative effects of Covid nineteen virus, and we are 96 00:08:09.540 --> 00:08:13.410 just proud to be diversified within the franchise industry. And they should probably know 97 00:08:16.290 --> 00:08:24.089 francer represents several hundred companies within the franchise industry and some of them are struggling 98 00:08:24.089 --> 00:08:26.800 with Sovid nineteen, but a lot of more acting robbing. So I can 99 00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:31.000 give you some examples of that, but I'll pass the bight back to you 100 00:08:31.039 --> 00:08:35.399 now. I really appreciate you bringing up that topic because it's a very important 101 00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:39.440 one and definitely want to want to touch upon today, because that is that, 102 00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:43.389 that is our world of today and it's impacting many businesses out there and 103 00:08:43.470 --> 00:08:50.590 specifically the franchise community. Before we dive into the Covid nineteen situation, let's 104 00:08:50.629 --> 00:08:54.149 talk a little bit about France serves directive and mission and help our listeners get 105 00:08:54.149 --> 00:08:58.340 to know frans serve better at lasha. Would you like to take the lead 106 00:08:58.419 --> 00:09:01.299 on that? Sure, and Francer. Of I mean, what we really 107 00:09:01.419 --> 00:09:07.820 look to do is help people become business owners and investors and we do so 108 00:09:07.980 --> 00:09:11.129 in a way that really matches them up. I mean I talked about it 109 00:09:11.250 --> 00:09:13.649 and and Pam, you and I have talked about it right, the business 110 00:09:13.730 --> 00:09:20.090 match maker in a way to find what is interest to the to the investor 111 00:09:20.330 --> 00:09:24.080 and what business model works us with or works us. And I think to 112 00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:28.919 Pam, you can probably comment a bit with your experience as a franchise consultant 113 00:09:30.080 --> 00:09:35.840 of how important that role is. When someone is looking to own a franchise 114 00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:41.789 that can be so overwhelmed. Oh yes, and they're excited and they're overwhelmed 115 00:09:41.870 --> 00:09:45.230 and which one do I take? And my cousin, susy, said this 116 00:09:45.389 --> 00:09:48.830 is a good brand, but I you know, it's just very hard and 117 00:09:48.909 --> 00:09:52.940 the role of France Service really to be and advisor, a coach to help 118 00:09:52.980 --> 00:09:58.820 or, you know, a friend in the industry and and I think you, 119 00:09:58.179 --> 00:10:03.259 you know also with your industry experience, can shed some light on that 120 00:10:03.299 --> 00:10:05.340 as well. Yeah, no, I mean you said it very well. 121 00:10:05.460 --> 00:10:09.129 I always say it's about alignment, right, are we? Are we aligning 122 00:10:09.210 --> 00:10:13.850 when we're working with candidates or those that are considering franchise ownership? Are we 123 00:10:13.929 --> 00:10:20.090 being effective in aligning with their investment budget, their area of interest, not 124 00:10:20.210 --> 00:10:24.639 only territory wise but industry wise? Are we aligning with their skill set, 125 00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:26.840 their lifestyle, because it's a it's a big decision, like you said, 126 00:10:26.840 --> 00:10:33.840 it's impacting their personal world, the professional world or financial world, their family 127 00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:39.669 world. So it really is about alignment and the ability to have certified France 128 00:10:39.750 --> 00:10:46.470 serve consultant be able to come in and help that individual what I call navigate 129 00:10:48.190 --> 00:10:50.740 the waters right here in the the franchise community can be a very big CE. 130 00:10:52.500 --> 00:10:56.460 So to work with a Francer of consultant and to come in and put 131 00:10:56.539 --> 00:11:01.659 that rodder in that boat to help that individual navigate those waters is very, 132 00:11:01.700 --> 00:11:05.850 very beneficial, agreed. Sure, and it even if you know, as 133 00:11:05.850 --> 00:11:11.649 you know, it sends to people trying to understand where to get funding or 134 00:11:11.769 --> 00:11:16.250 how to get financing to own a franchise. And you know, the thing 135 00:11:16.330 --> 00:11:18.240 that I love, and when I was the franchise contilting of course, now 136 00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:24.759 is the CEO of the organization, is there's no cost to our candidate when 137 00:11:24.799 --> 00:11:30.679 they're using a franchise consultant and there's no additional peace for owning the franchise. 138 00:11:30.799 --> 00:11:35.269 So there's there's an absocial no downside for a candidate who needs help and want 139 00:11:35.389 --> 00:11:41.029 to learn about more opportunities than perhaps pam and Dave, you can shed a 140 00:11:41.070 --> 00:11:43.350 little bit of your light on that as well. Yeah, I want to. 141 00:11:43.350 --> 00:11:46.309 I'm going to add something to that. And then, Dave, I 142 00:11:46.509 --> 00:11:50.899 want to throw the baton to you because I know that you are very much 143 00:11:52.100 --> 00:11:56.340 the heart of France serve in regards to, you know, franchise development and 144 00:11:56.460 --> 00:12:03.529 expansion, which is building out the franchise, or partnerships, and you know 145 00:12:03.690 --> 00:12:07.330 a little bit to like what Alicia was saying, is you have multiple partnerships 146 00:12:07.370 --> 00:12:13.330 in the franchise community. So not only as consultants are we a connector between 147 00:12:13.330 --> 00:12:18.240 the franchise or in the individual looking. But we're a connector to other needed 148 00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:22.159 resources, a connector to potential funding sources, a connector to legal sources to 149 00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:26.960 review that franchise agreement. But before we can be the connector of all of 150 00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:33.029 that, we have to be able to have a strong portfolio of franchise ors 151 00:12:33.350 --> 00:12:37.629 to represent and connect our candidates to. So I know that you ever see 152 00:12:37.669 --> 00:12:41.389 that for us? David, talk to us a little bit about the France 153 00:12:41.470 --> 00:12:46.299 Serve Directory and the many franchise ors we represent. Sure. Thank you. 154 00:12:46.340 --> 00:12:52.820 Appreciate the opportunity to speak about that. Fran serve has franchise representation agreements with 155 00:12:52.419 --> 00:12:56.860 hundreds of different franchise companies and they are in, I believe it, the 156 00:12:58.019 --> 00:13:03.409 forty six different industry categories that we represent, and that's everything from automotives to 157 00:13:03.490 --> 00:13:09.450 banking, finance, student average, the child educcasion, senior care and everything 158 00:13:09.490 --> 00:13:15.879 in between. And we do bring on the different brands that are most productive. 159 00:13:15.919 --> 00:13:20.440 Right now we're looking at brand and quick our investors are actively seeking brands 160 00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:24.559 that are either recession proof, recession resistance, and now they're even a lot 161 00:13:24.600 --> 00:13:28.470 of them are calling themselves pandemic proof, which is a new adjective that a 162 00:13:28.509 --> 00:13:33.429 lot of brands are adding to their description. And you know why? It's 163 00:13:33.470 --> 00:13:41.389 impossible to guarantee that a particular industry within franchising is indeed the second proof there 164 00:13:41.429 --> 00:13:46.379 are certain industries that do well or even thrive, and they thrived its intent 165 00:13:46.500 --> 00:13:52.460 during times of economic uncertainty and you'll find an industries and and or companies that 166 00:13:52.580 --> 00:14:00.929 provide goods or services which fulfill the basic needs that people have are less likely 167 00:14:01.090 --> 00:14:05.970 to flounder in periods of recession or depression or even during a pandemic. So, 168 00:14:05.649 --> 00:14:07.929 and I like to feed on mine, I'll share a case in point 169 00:14:09.009 --> 00:14:11.360 with you. Yesterday I had a phone meeting with one of our real estate 170 00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:16.159 franchise has been for the first two months of this year they were up twenty 171 00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:20.000 eight percent over last year, same period of last year, and now the 172 00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:26.269 other day, through April thirty, they report Tommy they're up forty one percent 173 00:14:26.509 --> 00:14:31.070 over the same period between and nineteen. So they are indeed driving doing large 174 00:14:31.230 --> 00:14:35.990 park to what they credit the effects of the coronavirus. So it just destends 175 00:14:37.149 --> 00:14:39.299 on the type of brand, the type of service Sacro Bat and also the 176 00:14:39.419 --> 00:14:46.419 good state either manufact story ship you through franchise absolutely, I couldn't agree with 177 00:14:46.500 --> 00:14:48.940 you more. It's there are, I guess, when you play central businesses 178 00:14:50.019 --> 00:14:52.730 out there. It's kind of word I've been using a lot with with my 179 00:14:52.889 --> 00:15:00.169 candidates. To your root your point Alisha, how has the mission change in 180 00:15:00.330 --> 00:15:05.730 the past two to three months due to covid nineteen? Well, I think 181 00:15:05.769 --> 00:15:09.679 you know it's when you get word comes off and you talk about a pandemic 182 00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:13.600 and talk about your coronavirus and all that. You know, at the very 183 00:15:13.679 --> 00:15:18.360 beginning it was scary to a lot of people in terms of obviously help, 184 00:15:18.480 --> 00:15:20.830 and that's separate issue, but in terms of business and what's going to happen 185 00:15:20.870 --> 00:15:26.549 in franchising that we're going to and what we see is, you know, 186 00:15:26.710 --> 00:15:35.269 Franchising is filled with entrepreneur right, people think outside the box. And you 187 00:15:35.350 --> 00:15:37.980 know what my description of an entrepreneur is. You know, someone who jumps 188 00:15:39.059 --> 00:15:45.340 off the cliff and build their plane on the way down. So I don't 189 00:15:45.379 --> 00:15:50.570 know what Dictionarycom so but that's my description. That's Faiz, that's franchise dictionary 190 00:15:50.610 --> 00:15:56.409 magazines description. Right, right, that's all descript to that. I don't 191 00:15:56.409 --> 00:16:00.129 know what webster dictionrcom says, but that's my description. But the reason why 192 00:16:00.210 --> 00:16:07.919 that's so important is because in a hearty franchise and was able to pivot and 193 00:16:08.240 --> 00:16:12.679 create different ways to get business keeps, you know, keep the doors are 194 00:16:12.840 --> 00:16:18.320 opening and keep the lights on, and they change to a virtual, you 195 00:16:18.360 --> 00:16:22.309 know, model for training and for what we call discovery days or meet the 196 00:16:22.429 --> 00:16:29.990 team. They went from in person and switched over to virtual almost overnight and 197 00:16:30.429 --> 00:16:34.779 really adapted to what was going on. And as you and David spoke about 198 00:16:34.860 --> 00:16:40.340 different industries that, you know, joked about them. Nothing the sex in 199 00:16:40.419 --> 00:16:44.980 industries, right, the cleaning industries are, but they're the essential industry. 200 00:16:45.580 --> 00:16:51.690 All of a sudden became in the limelight became thriving. So very interesting to 201 00:16:51.809 --> 00:16:56.570 see the shifts that go on because, you know, we my favorite Hashtag 202 00:16:56.690 --> 00:17:03.279 right now is hashtag franchise strong because, no matter what, we move forward 203 00:17:03.279 --> 00:17:08.440 and when you have that mindset of being success and of candidates who have been 204 00:17:08.599 --> 00:17:12.279 home, now some of them are not going to be able to return to 205 00:17:12.319 --> 00:17:18.150 work because those jobs are gone. Right, because whatever the circumstances are in 206 00:17:18.269 --> 00:17:22.509 corporate America with covid nineteen. So now they're looking at well, what do 207 00:17:22.589 --> 00:17:27.869 I do? And so franchising is thriving right now. Our business is very, 208 00:17:27.950 --> 00:17:33.019 very strong, and that just really shows you the strength of the franchise 209 00:17:33.180 --> 00:17:38.220 model, the spirit of the entrepreneur and, of course, the pursuit of 210 00:17:38.299 --> 00:17:44.769 the American dream. So it's very refreshing and endearing to be in an industry 211 00:17:44.930 --> 00:17:49.250 that really not only provides hope, of provides the way for family to have 212 00:17:49.650 --> 00:17:55.890 income coming in and change of a lifestyle that now they say, you know 213 00:17:56.009 --> 00:17:59.559 what, I like being I like being more independent. Yeah, this is 214 00:17:59.640 --> 00:18:03.119 the time for me to evaluate my life and make changes, and that's what 215 00:18:03.240 --> 00:18:07.759 we're saying. It's quite honestly, that's what we're saying. You know, 216 00:18:07.960 --> 00:18:11.880 I like that. The spirit of the entrepreneur right, and I couldn't agree 217 00:18:11.920 --> 00:18:15.509 with you more. attection been very inspirational. I you know, not to 218 00:18:15.670 --> 00:18:19.470 negate that. You know certain businesses and individuals are struggling, and it's not 219 00:18:19.549 --> 00:18:23.829 to have sensitivities around that, because I know we all do, at the 220 00:18:23.910 --> 00:18:30.980 same time really finding the positive that also is coming out of this. You 221 00:18:30.099 --> 00:18:36.220 know, I I do believe that, due to having to pivot, due 222 00:18:36.259 --> 00:18:38.859 to the circumstances, that new efficiencies are going to come out of it. 223 00:18:40.660 --> 00:18:45.289 New Revenue Streams are potentially going to come out of it for business owners and 224 00:18:45.450 --> 00:18:52.410 it's been very inspiring to really see the different programs that are being rolled out, 225 00:18:52.049 --> 00:18:57.000 not only on a government level but within the franchise community. What either 226 00:18:57.039 --> 00:19:00.880 of you like to speak to some of the things that you're seeing franchisers do 227 00:19:03.440 --> 00:19:10.230 to manage to the current situation? Sure, I'll share with you a recent 228 00:19:10.349 --> 00:19:15.150 article that I fall just a couple days ago in Franchisingcom and really call my 229 00:19:15.230 --> 00:19:18.910 eye. It resonated very well with me. It's to a three things. 230 00:19:18.950 --> 00:19:22.670 So first thing and a mother I noticed they comment on that people who are 231 00:19:22.710 --> 00:19:29.220 quarantine, who have recently lost their job or as been furlough are at home, 232 00:19:29.420 --> 00:19:34.019 spending more time online than ever before and they're searching for business ownership opportunity, 233 00:19:34.099 --> 00:19:40.329 searching for franchise opening in their immediate area. And that's what the franchise 234 00:19:40.450 --> 00:19:42.289 ors are telling me, the ones that we speak to on a daily basis. 235 00:19:42.690 --> 00:19:47.410 They're getting more lead flow, a lot of which comes from us, 236 00:19:48.049 --> 00:19:52.369 because they realize now that people are on the internet or at home, they 237 00:19:52.410 --> 00:19:56.079 have their worried about the future. They're worried about whether they'll have a job 238 00:19:56.160 --> 00:20:00.119 to go back to or not. They feel like they maybe corporate refugees or 239 00:20:00.720 --> 00:20:06.680 corporate casualties, and people who are recently out of kind of work are bearing 240 00:20:06.759 --> 00:20:11.269 a job law. They're turning to the Internet to research career off including what 241 00:20:11.549 --> 00:20:17.789 for me has been a long time dream of this a certain ship and being 242 00:20:17.910 --> 00:20:22.220 their own ball. So the takeaway that I see from this is the time 243 00:20:22.539 --> 00:20:26.660 is right for franchise ownership, and so many of the brands that we work 244 00:20:26.740 --> 00:20:33.380 with our agreeing that the time to capitalize all that opportunity and notice that franchise 245 00:20:33.539 --> 00:20:40.089 candidates that come through to us are providing the actually proving to be very bullish 246 00:20:40.170 --> 00:20:45.369 about the future and they're more excited than ever about the benefits of possible business 247 00:20:45.410 --> 00:20:52.440 ownership. We also found that a lot of risks of earth franchise investors, 248 00:20:52.559 --> 00:20:56.279 who may have been a little bit skidtash before, they are seeking now very 249 00:20:56.279 --> 00:21:03.799 aggressively brands that are known to be recession resistant or, this case, pandemic 250 00:21:03.000 --> 00:21:07.349 resistance, and, as expected, those brands who are gamed to be essential 251 00:21:07.509 --> 00:21:12.829 to the American public, are typically doing very well right now. David, 252 00:21:12.869 --> 00:21:15.430 I just you know I wanted to circle back ground with you because I think 253 00:21:15.470 --> 00:21:21.140 you brought up a really good point. That is the time right and isn't 254 00:21:21.259 --> 00:21:26.980 now? And it's interesting in this bipolar environment that we are in because, 255 00:21:27.299 --> 00:21:32.970 you know, everyone views it differently and respectfully. You know, we respect 256 00:21:33.049 --> 00:21:36.890 both both sides, but those that are viewing to say, Hey, I 257 00:21:37.089 --> 00:21:41.329 really do want to capitalize on the current environment we're in and possibly take advantage 258 00:21:41.329 --> 00:21:44.450 of some of the programs that are out there. We know we have the 259 00:21:44.529 --> 00:21:48.920 SBA forgiveness program that could work well for many. So we've got some government 260 00:21:48.960 --> 00:21:52.920 programs going on, but we even have franchise the worse, rolling out a 261 00:21:52.000 --> 00:21:57.839 lot of different programs too. Some are doing royalty to ferment and a lot 262 00:21:57.880 --> 00:22:04.269 of them are implementing this virtual world which is not only creating additional revenue stream 263 00:22:04.349 --> 00:22:11.349 possibilities for future franchise's in their current franchise's, but in addition to that, 264 00:22:11.109 --> 00:22:15.900 they are they're figuring out new virtual programs from a training standpoint, to support 265 00:22:17.019 --> 00:22:22.380 standpoint. So you know, to get in now is possibly getting yourself, 266 00:22:22.420 --> 00:22:26.259 getting your legs underneath you, and then when things really do start to calm 267 00:22:26.339 --> 00:22:32.329 down, you are ready to launch and move forward solidly with your new franchise 268 00:22:32.490 --> 00:22:37.849 business venture. Any any additional thoughts around that? As the timing right? 269 00:22:41.210 --> 00:22:45.039 Well, we found a lot people are, we're coming, becoming very comfortable 270 00:22:45.160 --> 00:22:51.759 with the strtual components of doing business from home. It's a little bit easier 271 00:22:51.799 --> 00:22:55.039 for most people. They are becoming comfortable the fact that they don't have to 272 00:22:55.119 --> 00:22:57.279 get up and go into the office every day to just get on the computer 273 00:22:57.519 --> 00:23:03.589 and they are at work. I believe a lot of the would be franchise 274 00:23:03.710 --> 00:23:07.549 Candida to be seen in the past or coming back into the soul now because 275 00:23:07.670 --> 00:23:15.740 they realize it's how on is like to see franchise ownership, especially since they 276 00:23:15.819 --> 00:23:22.700 are preparing to be possibly a corporate refugee or someone that's been eliminated from the 277 00:23:22.779 --> 00:23:29.009 corporate environment. Okay, Franchising once again is surviving in times with other companies 278 00:23:29.049 --> 00:23:32.369 may be struggling. Yeah, it's a good place to be for sure, 279 00:23:32.890 --> 00:23:37.130 and I want to talk about that for not only the corporate refugees or those 280 00:23:37.250 --> 00:23:40.410 in transition, but go to something that's near and dear to your heart, 281 00:23:40.809 --> 00:23:45.480 Alicia, as well as mine, and that's veterans. You know, talk 282 00:23:45.519 --> 00:23:52.720 to us a little bit about veterans actually looking at becoming a franchise and what 283 00:23:52.880 --> 00:23:59.789 franchise ors do for them. You know, are veterans and franchise and just 284 00:23:59.950 --> 00:24:02.390 go you know, it's like peanut butter and Jelly, right. They're just 285 00:24:02.470 --> 00:24:06.630 go together so well. Your analogies, you know, back in cheese, 286 00:24:06.710 --> 00:24:08.230 right, you know. So, if they really do, they go together 287 00:24:08.470 --> 00:24:14.819 so, so well. And it's because veterans tap that leadership ability, they 288 00:24:14.900 --> 00:24:22.099 have the ability to be that teamwork, they follower systems incredibly well and they 289 00:24:22.180 --> 00:24:27.130 like to see the productivity of their efforts. So for some time franchising and 290 00:24:27.849 --> 00:24:33.210 the veteran community to military community have been synergistic. And My background, as 291 00:24:33.289 --> 00:24:37.049 you know, while I've never served, never had the privilege of serving, 292 00:24:37.170 --> 00:24:44.799 but I've worked tremendously with veterans who suffered from post traumatic stress disorder. So 293 00:24:45.119 --> 00:24:49.559 in helping them to see what might be best for them, that also helped 294 00:24:49.680 --> 00:24:56.190 me to understand why franchising and franchise ownership can be a release for them because 295 00:24:56.230 --> 00:25:00.390 they they are in a community again and the they have a team and they 296 00:25:00.430 --> 00:25:06.190 work together and that's really so strong for them and many, many of the 297 00:25:06.390 --> 00:25:12.140 brands recognize that. And all first, significant discount for veterans coming on board 298 00:25:12.259 --> 00:25:18.660 for Franchise Ownership. Frans of itself those that for veterans who want to be 299 00:25:18.940 --> 00:25:23.890 considered of being a franchise consult that's the best path for them rather than owning 300 00:25:23.930 --> 00:25:29.089 a franchise that we know the franchise industry is so vast. There's all different 301 00:25:29.130 --> 00:25:32.970 ways, so owning a franchise, being a franchise consultants, working for a 302 00:25:33.089 --> 00:25:37.200 franchise, or there's all different paths that are open for individuals. And yes, 303 00:25:37.240 --> 00:25:42.200 I am a board member for the Vet Fran Committee for the International Franchise 304 00:25:42.279 --> 00:25:48.599 Association. Very proud of that. We do tremendous work to help understand the 305 00:25:48.720 --> 00:25:55.069 relationship between veterans and Franchising and to build that synergistic environment for them. I 306 00:25:55.230 --> 00:25:56.829 was I was going to ask you about that. I knew you're involved with 307 00:25:56.869 --> 00:26:03.150 the International Franchise Association and the Vet Frand program there's a specific, big program 308 00:26:03.539 --> 00:26:11.619 that the International Franchise Association has in place for veterans. Is that in corrupting 309 00:26:11.700 --> 00:26:15.380 and they can and people can go to that exit Frand Dot Org, okay, 310 00:26:15.500 --> 00:26:18.450 which is a wonderful force for them to even get more information on that 311 00:26:18.650 --> 00:26:26.130 relationship between veterans and Franchising. Love it. Since, since we're on the 312 00:26:26.930 --> 00:26:32.450 topic of really giving back, you know, because to me that is one, 313 00:26:33.759 --> 00:26:41.720 I guess, piece that has come out of this whole covid nineteen situation 314 00:26:41.960 --> 00:26:44.559 that we're in. Again, I said, there's a little, a lot 315 00:26:44.599 --> 00:26:48.950 of inspirational things happening. You know, we're seeing different programs that are coming 316 00:26:48.990 --> 00:26:53.990 back that are really giving back on a lot of levels. And you mentioned 317 00:26:55.069 --> 00:27:00.230 that France serve is a purpose driven organization, and Fran Aid, but that 318 00:27:00.390 --> 00:27:06.819 was something that was a philosophy that you obviously took on before the covid nineteen 319 00:27:07.579 --> 00:27:11.900 and it's now just being at to me, it's being magnified even more so 320 00:27:12.460 --> 00:27:18.250 under the conditions were in. Absolutely. I mean I started that two years 321 00:27:18.289 --> 00:27:22.009 ago and, as I said, you know, you get back. You 322 00:27:22.130 --> 00:27:26.809 really have to give back in the world. I just strongly believe that any 323 00:27:26.890 --> 00:27:32.000 business that I've had, any position where I've been in executive it's always been 324 00:27:32.119 --> 00:27:37.160 in the background and I brought it to the forefront in hum trancer because really 325 00:27:37.319 --> 00:27:41.319 well, even beings, and we see it more so in situations like this, 326 00:27:41.440 --> 00:27:45.950 how interdependent we are on one another and how precious life is. I 327 00:27:47.109 --> 00:27:52.549 am right in the heart of the epicenter of the pandemic here in northern New 328 00:27:52.589 --> 00:27:57.430 Jersey and thirty miles from Manhattan. So everybody I know, there's no one 329 00:27:57.509 --> 00:28:00.460 that I know that hasn't been touched by this on a very deep level. 330 00:28:00.700 --> 00:28:06.700 Sure, project, lawses, job lasses, personal loss of family, but 331 00:28:07.140 --> 00:28:12.690 once again, even being come together under stress and under difficult situation and we 332 00:28:12.809 --> 00:28:17.490 strengthen. Yes, so more so that people feel it now, but you 333 00:28:17.569 --> 00:28:22.130 know that feeling has to always be there. So that's why I declare that 334 00:28:22.369 --> 00:28:26.970 trancer was a Pedo. I made that statement, I put it out on 335 00:28:26.130 --> 00:28:30.920 social media, I took actions to support that and we will always do that, 336 00:28:32.680 --> 00:28:34.599 month after month, year after year, because we are all on this 337 00:28:34.720 --> 00:28:40.079 planet together and it's only through working together that we move forward. I agreed 338 00:28:40.519 --> 00:28:45.150 and and that in itself just it's me. It shares the philosophy as well 339 00:28:45.269 --> 00:28:51.910 as the culture that is being created, or has been created within Francer. 340 00:28:52.150 --> 00:28:55.900 David, I know you've been a big part of building that culture. A 341 00:28:56.059 --> 00:29:00.460 friend. Serve any thing you would like to add there? Well, I 342 00:29:00.539 --> 00:29:03.859 can tell you that the great majority of the brands that we represent support our 343 00:29:03.980 --> 00:29:11.569 belief about getting back the Great Majarki them are also bet brand affiliated and they 344 00:29:11.849 --> 00:29:17.410 respect the giving back opportunities they have to the veterans. And, by the 345 00:29:17.450 --> 00:29:19.730 way, they love the veteran candidas that we bring to them because they are 346 00:29:22.130 --> 00:29:25.680 so used to a regiment and a good, solid structure. They just make 347 00:29:25.799 --> 00:29:30.880 extremely good franchise. They, and they are the brands that we represent, 348 00:29:32.160 --> 00:29:36.440 really do appreciate the veteran candidate we bring to them and all kind of Gel 349 00:29:36.599 --> 00:29:42.950 together and all lands together and we continue to support that. Excellent and since 350 00:29:42.990 --> 00:29:45.069 we are on this topic, I just do want to give a shout out 351 00:29:45.069 --> 00:29:49.430 and say thank you to our first, you know, front of the line 352 00:29:49.470 --> 00:29:56.019 responders. Really really appreciate you know you being on the front lines underneath these 353 00:29:56.059 --> 00:30:02.900 conditions. E excited to see that things are starting to potentially open up here 354 00:30:03.259 --> 00:30:08.049 and I'm really hoping for new efficiencies to come out of that, which could 355 00:30:08.049 --> 00:30:14.210 be really exciting for the franchise community and and all of us involved on different 356 00:30:14.210 --> 00:30:18.130 levels. With that's literally the first responders. I mean we can take our 357 00:30:18.890 --> 00:30:23.559 pts oft enough to be France or of again offers a discount any your work. 358 00:30:23.640 --> 00:30:29.480 First fonder or their self who is interesting being a franchise consultant. Some 359 00:30:29.599 --> 00:30:32.960 of the brands recognize that. Again, it's one of those, you know, 360 00:30:33.119 --> 00:30:37.470 one for all and all for one mentality when we move forward and dealing 361 00:30:37.549 --> 00:30:41.029 with not only crisis but in everyday life because, let's say it, every 362 00:30:41.029 --> 00:30:45.230 day there's no ups and downs and it's, as I said, it's only 363 00:30:45.269 --> 00:30:49.579 through working together and embracing our humanity that we really do move forward as a 364 00:30:49.660 --> 00:30:56.460 species. Absolutely we're in a relational society and above and beyond that, to 365 00:30:56.500 --> 00:31:00.420 your point of the interdependency, I have to just share with you because I 366 00:31:00.420 --> 00:31:03.809 have this quote that I frequent say in the franchise world when I'm working with 367 00:31:03.890 --> 00:31:07.170 candidates. I'll say you know, I, which you have to understand. 368 00:31:07.250 --> 00:31:12.009 The franchise community is is we're a lot of independence that are interdependently working together 369 00:31:12.769 --> 00:31:17.970 and we all need to be working together as a team, even as independence 370 00:31:18.009 --> 00:31:22.200 or into interdependently working together. And that holds true in the franchise community, 371 00:31:22.279 --> 00:31:29.119 it holds true in life in general right, and it holds true for stressful 372 00:31:30.359 --> 00:31:33.269 health situations like covid nineteen. It does. It is what it is. 373 00:31:33.910 --> 00:31:38.710 So a hundred percent is it that the franchise matter right. Work for yourself, 374 00:31:38.829 --> 00:31:41.990 but not by yourself, so to perfectly said, scam the way you 375 00:31:42.150 --> 00:31:48.980 free. So true it closing, I mean I'd like, David, if 376 00:31:48.059 --> 00:31:52.619 you can give us a fun and driving not to pitch on the spot here, 377 00:31:53.099 --> 00:31:56.539 but would love to hear story. It doesn't you don't have to name 378 00:31:56.579 --> 00:32:00.890 the brand or anything like that that you have heard about that's really been thriving 379 00:32:01.009 --> 00:32:08.410 during this pandemic time. Sure I can do that. Let me look here. 380 00:32:10.049 --> 00:32:15.160 First of all, those brands that are deemed to be essential to the 381 00:32:15.160 --> 00:32:20.920 American public typically do very, very well, and some examples that first come 382 00:32:20.960 --> 00:32:24.519 to mind are and they're very can be automotive, can be the health and 383 00:32:24.599 --> 00:32:32.670 senior care, especially residential, and commercial maintenance company, which includes certain non 384 00:32:32.789 --> 00:32:37.069 elective service providers such as plumbing, electrical, HBA. Say, and you 385 00:32:37.150 --> 00:32:40.829 know something, even the food and beverreach industry, which has been hit so 386 00:32:42.109 --> 00:32:46.220 hard. We're seeing a lot of them who have takeout and delivery. They 387 00:32:46.220 --> 00:32:49.980 are making the best of what they have to work with. You have they 388 00:32:50.339 --> 00:32:53.660 cannot allow more than ten customers into their restaurant, even if the restaurant is 389 00:32:53.740 --> 00:32:57.900 open to the public. They understand that that's taking a big hit, but 390 00:32:57.980 --> 00:33:04.930 they are making the very best. They're very flexible by making deliveries and accommodating 391 00:33:05.009 --> 00:33:10.930 the takeout customers. So those companies, those franchises that provide a survos seem 392 00:33:10.970 --> 00:33:15.279 to be the ones that are doing the very best. The joy store franchise 393 00:33:15.359 --> 00:33:20.839 down on Main Street may not be essential, but the others that do provit 394 00:33:20.880 --> 00:33:23.359 a service that we all need. They seem to be coming out of this 395 00:33:23.559 --> 00:33:27.829 very strong and they intend to be even stronger. Wants it's behind them. 396 00:33:28.150 --> 00:33:32.349 They're making a great impression on the general public to continuing to provide that service 397 00:33:32.430 --> 00:33:39.470 during time. betify things absolutely and Alicia, enclosing, any additional thoughts and 398 00:33:39.630 --> 00:33:44.859 vice that you would like to give to our listeners? Yeah, I think 399 00:33:44.980 --> 00:33:47.220 really and all, honestly, it comes down to, you know, is 400 00:33:47.299 --> 00:33:52.339 this the right timing and if it is, then speak got some help so 401 00:33:52.460 --> 00:33:58.089 you can find the right franchise, the perfect fit for you for this time 402 00:33:58.410 --> 00:34:02.210 and going forward, for the person, their family, their income, their 403 00:34:02.329 --> 00:34:07.529 lifestyle. A lot of people, as I said, really get to experience 404 00:34:07.849 --> 00:34:10.960 the work life balance from being home and can see that. You know what, 405 00:34:12.519 --> 00:34:15.280 maybe going back to corporate America isn't what I want to do and this 406 00:34:15.480 --> 00:34:20.280 is the time, this is the jump start for them to be able to 407 00:34:20.400 --> 00:34:23.239 move forward. So if it's in your if you feel it in your in 408 00:34:23.349 --> 00:34:27.949 your veins, and you're excited about the idea of been business ownership, I 409 00:34:27.989 --> 00:34:31.630 would just strongly recommend that you for and pursue that. I like that and 410 00:34:31.949 --> 00:34:37.829 I can I cannot take credit for this, but Richard producer just as slippy 411 00:34:37.829 --> 00:34:43.260 a little note and said every business is essential to the owners of that business 412 00:34:43.300 --> 00:34:46.059 or franchise. I is like, that is so true. Every business is 413 00:34:47.460 --> 00:34:53.289 to the owners of that that's because quiet, yeah, after you're consolutely most 414 00:34:53.409 --> 00:35:00.369 definitely well, I just want to say thank you very much for being guessed 415 00:35:00.409 --> 00:35:04.650 on the franchise business radio show.
