Description

Wanting to become a franchisee is one thing, knowing which business model to invest in, quite another. Meet Brian Knuth, VP of Franchise Development at Raintree.
Brian educates potential franchise partners, identifying which franchise partnerships might work out best. But Brian is also a franchise owner of Footprint Floors, which he runs as a semi-absentee owner.
The Wolf and Brian get into conversation about representing emerging franchise brands, how Covid rocked his business and some of the struggles you face juggling your day job with your franchise  business.


You’ll also hear why Brian knew he had to dive into Footprint Floors, and why he feels privileged to help people break away from the corporate grind and pursue a career they’re truly passionate about.

There’s more than one way to find financial freedom. Most startups are doomed to fail, but there’s an alternative route for hungry entrepreneurs. One that involves far less risk, far more work-life balance and just as much profit. Franchises. This is the podcast that gives aspiring franchise owners the playbook to build a multi-unit franchise empire of their own. Every episode we hear from guests who are building their franchise empire: Franchisees who started with one unit and aren’t stopping until they get to dozens, hundreds, or even thousands more locations. Hosted by The Wolf, you’ll hear exactly how to turn your ambition into tangible actions and take your first steps up the franchise ladder. You’ll get a breakdown on the steps you need to take open your first franchise, your second location, and beyond, along with the pitfalls to avoid. We answer all your questions about owning and running your franchise with relatable guests, sharing their first hand experience. To get started on your franchise owning journey, tune in on March 3rd for our season premiere, with new episodes every Tuesday. Make sure to subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.
