Every day I work with prospective and existing franchise owners in order to try to help them move their business forward. The difference with me and a most other consultants that you may meet is that I do it at the same time. I’m actually building my own franchise businesses.

There’s a lot of consultants that talk about owning franchise concepts, but are they really doing it every single day? So they feel the pain of having to figure out how to get a location open or keep it running day and day out. Have they survived an economic meltdown like we did in 2008 or navigated a pandemic?

I don’t wear fancy clothes, and I don’t drive a fancy car. I drive a heavy duty pick up truck and I wear old tennis shoes, because more often than not, on a daily basis, I’m working inside of a business trying to either get it open or keep it running . When I’m not doing that, that’s when I’m helping people like you find a business that can take them in a new direction. That direction will be exciting and challenging, but know that you will be doing it with someone by your side who understands exactly what you’re going through.

So I’d like to flip the script, and instead of me talking to you, I want to know what questions you have about franchising or business. Just drop a question in the comments, and I will answer that question or turn that question into an entire post. Whether you’re thinking about business, or you’re in business, let me know what’s on your mind and we’ll see if we can figure it out together.

Some of you know my story, but for those who don’t, here’s the short version.

I’ve spent nearly 20 years in franchising — from running 9 Edible Arrangements locations to leading The Simple Greek through a pandemic, to now being SWTHZ franchise. Along the way I’ve seen record-breaking highs and some very tough challenges.

The biggest lesson I’ve learned is that success comes from persistence, learning, and surrounding yourself with the right people.

That’s why I started Franchise Authentic. To help others find the right business, grow with confidence, and eventually exit on their terms. Because business ownership isn’t about doing it alone — it’s about having the right support on your journey.

Proud moment for our SWTHZ team 🙌

We had the opportunity to support an incredible cause at the Panerathon recently. 💙 Events like these remind me that franchising isn’t just about business growth—it’s about community, giving back, and making a real impact.

Grateful to be part of something bigger than ourselves.

What a Sunday evening looks like when you look forward to Monday morning.

When you control your own career, Monday doesn’t come with dread - they come with excitement and joy.

I’ve been blessed to be a business owner for 20 years, and I always look forward to starting the week. Now, that doesn’t mean it’s going to be easy, but if it was easy, everyone would do it.

If you want better Sundays and Mondays, we can help you fine a franchise that fits your goals.

Most “Franchise Consultants” have never owned a franchise.

I’ve owned multiple.
For 20+ years.
And became the all-time sales leader in my brand with $53M+ in revenue.

That means when I help you pick a franchise, I’m not guessing.
I’m not reading from a brochure.
I’m giving you the playbook I used to actually build, grow, and scale profitable locations.

I'm still building businesses today, so I know what you will go through. I'm living it.

Never stop learning.

Today I stopped to see a good friend and colleague Rico in his new Franchise concept Strong Pilates.

After 20 years in franchising, I still live leaning about new brands and how they can be great entrepreneurial vessels for people who are looking to be business owners.

Hear from Michelle Miserez, MBA — someone I had the chance to work with during my time as a multi-unit franchisee at Edible Arrangements 💬

“He can certainly guide entrepreneurs to brands that may be best suited for them and guide them to ownership.”

It means a lot to be recognized by people who’ve seen my work up close. I’ve been on both sides of franchising, and now I get to help others navigate it with confidence.

Opening a franchise takes more than a dream — it takes systems, strategy, and support. I’ve learned what works by doing the work.

At Franchise Authentic, I help others do the same. You don’t have to guess your way through business. I’ll help you launch it right and grow it the smart way 💼🔥

Work-life balance isn’t just a phrase I toss around. It’s something I’ve worked hard to earn.

Because of the freedom franchising gave me, I’ve been able to travel, attend WVU Basketball Fantasy Camp, make time for my family, and even spend more time with my dog.🐶🏀✈️

Owning your own business doesn’t mean working nonstop. With the right systems and support, it can give you more life, not less.

Let’s find something that works for you too. Get started today.
