Today we're celebrating Emerging Franchises on Franchise Voice, the only podcast from The International Franchise Association (https://www.franchise.org) with your host, Jack Monson (https://www.linkedin.com/in/jackmonson/). First up, Matt Haller (https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthewhaller/), President and CEO of the IFA, discusses why networking at this early stage of your franchise’s business is the most critical. Next, Meg Roberts (https://www.linkedin.com/in/megroberts73/), CEO of The Lash Lounge and Emcee of the Emerging Franchisor Conference, discusses the event’s “unintimidating and intentional content.” She describes the show as the place you can approach anyone and where we lean in and help each other avoid some future mistakes. Then, Richard Huffman (https://www.linkedin.com/in/richardhuffmancelebree/), Founder and CEO of Celebree School gives advice to emerging brand leaders on the need to first build the team, culture, and processes before growing too fast.
