The Power Lunch Live Show, hosted by Michael Whitehouse, delivers an energetic and informative weekly discussion with expert guests on a range of entrepreneurial topics. In this episode, Michael welcomes Wayne Pratt, a speaker, trainer, and author, along with Stacey Riska, a franchise educator and matchmaker. The lively conversation explores personal definitions of success, breaking away from societal expectations, and the evolving economy, particularly the rise of gig work. Stacey dives deep into the world of franchising, dispelling myths about the industry and offering valuable insights into the various franchise models, from owner-operator to investor. She explains how franchising offers flexibility and lifestyle benefits, but it’s crucial to find the right fit based on one’s personal goals and financial readiness.
Wayne’s message focuses on ensuring that success is truly personal and not simply chasing after what society deems successful. The episode wraps with a powerful reminder from both guests about the importance of having clarity in your business and life goals.
