Ep 193: "Is Franchising The Entrepreneurial Fast Track?" with Gregory Ugwi

Can an entrepreneur grow faster with someone else’s idea? And, what if franchising wasn’t just for big corporations—but was a powerful tool for everyday entrepreneurs to scale their brands?? In this episode of Entrepreneurial Thinkers, Rob sits down with Gregory Ugwi, co-founder of WeFranch, to discuss how franchising is evolving in today’s data-driven economy.
