He hosts Pursuit of Profit — the most popular podcast in franchising — and is co-author of the newly released Beyond the Brand: The Entrepreneur's Guide to Fearless Franchising.The story starts at eight, selling golf balls outside country clubs. By nineteen he was running one of the first food delivery services in the US — over a hundred McDonald's orders a day, likely making him the first food delivery subcontractor for McDonald's in America. This was 1991. He eventually landed at Morgan Stanley as an investment banker, only to realise he had traded real freedom for perceived security. In 2003, he walked away and acquired the Master Franchise rights for New York and Connecticut. That pivot changed everything.What followed was twenty-plus years at the top of American franchising — national development roles across PuroClean, Island Fin Poke, Krak Boba, and more. Through Franocity, Cliff now helps driven professionals answer the hard questions: Do I need industry experience? Can I keep my day job? What does a successful franchise owner actually look like? No fluff, no hype.His book, Beyond the Brand, tells entrepreneurs what franchising really looks like from the inside — and how to walk in with eyes wide open.
