Speaker 3: I was supposed to franchise a few years back, but
Speaker 3: I held it because my gut wasn't there. I tell
Speaker 3: people all the time, I choose my gut over my
Speaker 3: heart and over my mind, because my gut ain't gonna
Speaker 3: lie to me.
Speaker 4: So I waited till it's my time.
Speaker 3: Now when I'm seeing all these people acquiring you know,
Speaker 3: whether it's Instagram or filling out applications about franchises, of course,
Speaker 3: every day is in my mind like I could have

Speaker 3: I'm gonna do it the right way, and I'm gonna
Speaker 3: climb through all the obstacles that I need to climb
Speaker 3: through so I could.
Speaker 4: Be here in the loan run. I ain't looking at
Speaker 4: no fronting.
Speaker 3: I just said this in another podcast, like when it
Speaker 3: come to deals, A lot of deal I don't chase
Speaker 3: the front end money.
Speaker 4: I went to back end.
Speaker 3: I don't want to be the guy that say, I
Speaker 3: built a billion dollar company and where's my money at?
Speaker 3: And the end you signed to that front end money,
Speaker 3: that's your money. And for me, I'm chasing ownership and
Speaker 3: I'm chasing the back end because the front end don't last.
Speaker 5: So all right, talk about the franchise situation. Can you
Speaker 5: walk us through that? How when did you decide that
Speaker 5: you wanted the franchise and what was the steps to
Speaker 5: actually get that up and running.

Speaker 3: half getting the FDD together. That's the Franchise Disclosure Document
Speaker 3: For those who don't.
Speaker 2: Know, it's like the plan flet.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the that's the whole brains of what you
Speaker 3: signing up to. And the most important thing that I've
Speaker 3: learned and the FDD, one of the most important things
Speaker 3: was the Item nineteen and that's your financials. That's everything
Speaker 3: that you got going on. That's what people are gonna
Speaker 3: look at when they want to buy into a franchise.
Speaker 3: Excuse me, and I feel real strong about that, you know,
Speaker 3: because I took the time and with my team and
Speaker 3: we worked out all of the stuff that we need
Speaker 3: to get out the kinks to make sure that our
Speaker 3: bottom lines is good, our top lines is good. Just
Speaker 3: like you know, I just broke the news on CNBC

Speaker 3: This is going to be a fun ride because you
Speaker 3: know it ain't just like you know, I'm married, so
Speaker 3: I believe in the decision she'd make. Also, so when
Speaker 3: we sit down and we have dinner with these people
Speaker 3: and I fill them out and she fill them out,
Speaker 3: I feel like that's a blessing for me because I
Speaker 3: ain't just making a decision by myself. I got somebody
Speaker 3: else beside me that, you know, they can give me
Speaker 3: good insight on it.
Speaker 4: But more to the story is once.
Speaker 3: They pass all the procedures they need to pass, I
Speaker 3: get to sit with them and see if I want
Speaker 3: to move forward.
Speaker 6: So, I mean, that's a good point you got. Obviously
Speaker 6: you're married. Congratulations on that. We've seen her brand grow
Speaker 6: and move to locations. Do you use that as a
Speaker 6: metric to see if the location is suitable for your
Speaker 6: brand as well? So when you move to Charlotte, there
Speaker 6: might be a vegan stuy that tells me that there's
Speaker 6: a community here that that needs to That's.
Speaker 4: What we do, though, honestly, we use each other like
Speaker 4: guinea pigs.
Speaker 3: We do, like right now, franchising who knows she might
Speaker 3: be franchising, who knows it don't. I mean, but sometimes
Speaker 3: we might take the jump first and then we fill
Speaker 3: it out. Like she went out of state before I
Speaker 3: went out of state, so I already knew the things
Speaker 3: that I got to work on out of.
Speaker 4: State before I go out of state.
Speaker 2: Watching it happen.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because I watch it happen. But again, you know,
Speaker 3: even though like if it's a study Vegan or it's
Speaker 3: a big Daves, no matter who opened them in the
Speaker 3: situation together. So it's like when we climbing through these openings,
Speaker 3: it's just like you know, as if I'm opening another location,
Speaker 3: or it's things that I got to kink out, and
Speaker 3: I say, oh, you know what, I got to do
Speaker 3: that differently because in my brand, that's not gonna work
Speaker 3: because it's two different brands. But the good thing that
Speaker 3: we able to piggyback off each other with is that
Speaker 3: we got the traffic. We can look at the numbers
Speaker 3: and we can we can, you know, look at each
Speaker 3: other selves and say, okay, you down or you up,
Speaker 3: and we both and we both are down.
Speaker 4: We know it's the market and we both up.
Speaker 3: It's never you up, you down like And that's the
Speaker 3: good thing with us is that the demographics that we have,
Speaker 3: we have strong customers. Like you know, the market right
Speaker 3: there now is terrible in the restaurants. It's not the
Speaker 3: restaurants all the way around. And I'm doing I'm doing
Speaker 3: better than a lot of the market, of not ninety
Speaker 3: percent of it.
Speaker 2: What allows you to do better? Is it how you're pricing?
Speaker 2: Is it?
Speaker 6: You know, how you're looking at the bottom line, like,
Speaker 6: what allows you to stay at ahead of not the competitors,
Speaker 6: but the industry.
Speaker 3: To be honest, I think right now, it got to
Speaker 3: have some attachment to it. It got to be tangible. So
Speaker 3: again my story I feel like, you know, a lot
Speaker 3: of people been paying attention to so long.
Speaker 4: But the one thing I.
Speaker 3: Think that really helps me out a lot is that
Speaker 3: when economy crashed, when when the COVID hit, everybody they
Speaker 3: try to figure.
Speaker 4: Out what they was going to do. Some of them
Speaker 4: ran off on the employees, some businesses closed. I stood up.
Speaker 3: It's just like if somebody telling you something and you like,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna be there.
Speaker 4: I'm an do what I need to do, and then
Speaker 4: it happened you don't be there. I was there.
Speaker 3: I was feeding customers. I fed over a thousand customers
Speaker 3: that week of the pandemic. Federal with forty hospitals that month.
Speaker 3: We don't even know what COVID is at the time,
Speaker 3: I'm walking in the hospital, you know, facilities just like
Speaker 3: the doctors and the nurses is feeding them. And I
Speaker 3: think I showed the community so much of my philanthropy,
Speaker 3: my my community involvement, my.
Speaker 4: Gearback, or what I cared about.
Speaker 3: I think that that now shows the people that they
Speaker 3: want me here for the long haul. They respect it,
Speaker 3: they honor it. They see what I was saying for, and
Speaker 3: they keeping me here along the way. And it's only
Speaker 3: a blessing for me, because honestly, sometimes I could be
Speaker 3: talking to a restaurant guy and they might tell me, Man,
Speaker 3: you know, I'm down.
Speaker 4: It's the worst time of the year for me. I
Speaker 4: don't know how'm gonna.
Speaker 3: Survive, and I'm opening locations left and right. So it's like,
Speaker 3: you know, I can't. I can't, you know, cope and
Speaker 3: say I know how to feel because I'm in a
Speaker 3: different space right now. But I can tell you what
Speaker 3: I know how I feel is trying to get there.
