Former Green Bay Packer Terrence Murphy joins Alex Smereczniak for a candid, high speed tour of his journey from the NFL to building a portfolio that spans real estate, construction, and franchising. Terrence explains why he doubled down on real estate after an early injury, how he grew a brokerage to 1.5B in sales, and why franchising became a core pillar alongside development and acquisitions. He breaks down his operator playbook as a multi unit, multi brand owner with Crumbl and F45, plus how he partners on the real estate side with brands like Starbucks and Buffalo Wild Wings. You will hear Terrence’s checklist for choosing brands, the simple metric discipline he uses to evaluate deals, and his most valuable lesson for first time franchisees. He shares how EOS and a one page roadmap keep 100 plus ventures aligned, why competence creates confidence, and why immersion and reps beat hacks and shortcuts. The conversation closes with practical advice on spouse alignment, risk, and getting off the bench, along with an open call for Texas operators and sellers who want a serious buyer at the table.   Lean more about franchising at Franzy.com Connect with Terrence Murphy here
