In this insightful solo episode of the "I Fired My Boss" podcast, co-host Christian Dadulak dives deep into the pivotal role of franchise professionals during the franchise ownership journey.

He shares personal insights on the nuanced differences between franchise advisors, brokers, and consultants, stressing the value of a true advisor who coaches, challenges, and connects clients with essential resources. Through examples and explanations, Christian covers the spectrum of considerations for prospective franchisees, from funding strategies and legal considerations to understanding the finer details of franchise agreements.
