Lance Hood
Franchise Consultant · Founder, FranPro · ARC Franchising

For years Lance has been asking one question: what do the operators who build something in franchising actually do — that the ones who struggle don't?

He's researched hundreds of brands. He's sat across from thousands of candidates. And the answer he kept finding wasn't in the brochures. It was in the operators. Once someone finally asked them.

Not a brand rep. Not a recruiter. The guide who helps people hear themselves clearly — and figure out what's actually right for them.
In Their Own Words

What they said when we asked
the hardest question.

"If you could go back — what would you tell yourself the day before you signed?"

"Even on my hardest days as a business owner — it's still the best decision I've made."

"Failure is not easy. But regret is worse. Do you want to go to the grave with the itch?"

David Harrison

"It was the best decision I've made in my entire career. I'll stand on that."

Carter Green
Stratus Building Solutions · $8M Revenue

"I bet on me. Because I didn't have a choice. I wasn't going to let it fail if I had anything to say about it."

Kathryn Parks

"If it fails, it's all on you. But if it succeeds — it's all on you too."

Kevin Schramm

"We talk to ourselves in ways we'd never talk to another human being. Learn to speak to yourself the way you'd speak to someone you believed in."
