Welcome to the Franchise Founders Podcast. We are on a mission to help aspiring entrepreneurs just like you take action through franchise ownership allowing you to obtain more financial freedom, time with family, and ultimately, a business that can run on its own without you.

Dan Claps has co-founded several franchise development firms and currently runs The Franchise Playbook. Christian Dadulak is a successful Franchise Consultant and runs his independent Franchise Consulting business, The Franchise Guys. 

In this episode, Dan and Christian talk to Erik Van Horn, one of the world's leading experts in the franchise industry. Over the last 20 years as a franchisee (he’s owned 7 brands in 8 states), regional developer, consultant, and investor, he has developed tremendous insight into the unique and challenging aspects of franchising. Erik also has a passion for people, which is why he has helped 1,000 people find great franchise opportunities that match their goals. Erik is the host of a podcast called Franchise Secrets where he coaches entrepreneurs on how to get their franchises off the ground and make a profit fast. Tune in to hear some of the biggest lessons he's learned in his decades in the industry. 

Today Erik is joined by Gary De Jesus, Master of Brand Development, to talk about the dos and don'ts of branding. 

Erik and Gary walk through the misconceptions many (if not most) business owners have when it comes to marketing, branding, and brand development. 

To build a successful, long-lasting brand, takes much more than a cool-looking logo...there are much deeper psychological components that most people miss.

This episode is super helpful to any franchisors who are looking to build their brand the right way and also those considering purchasing a brand.
