The "Mayor of Franchising" is in the House!

"Success can be defined in a multitude of ways but in franchising, success is about being the right kind of person who makes the right kinds of decisions that help those in their sphere of influence become the right kind of people." - Jerry Darnell  This week on Franchise Today co-hosts, Stan Friedman and Paul Segreto welcome as their guest, Jerry Darnell, CEO of Jerry Darnell & Associates. Often referred to as the “Mayor of Franchising” and recognized by many, as the creator of franchise “Discovery Days,” Jerry has worked through an illustrious 35 year-long franchising career that has seen him build new franchise division infrastructures for multi-billion dollar companies like the Medicine Shoppe and develop successful franchise programs for such well-known brands as Physicians Weight Loss Centers and Sterling Optical.  Perhaps best known for his years as a consultant to MAACO Founder Tony Martino, or as a senior executive with Guidant, Benetrends or Bob Gappa’s Management 2000, there is nobody in franchising who has served so long, brought so many people together and can still remember each and every second of his amazing 35 year-long career, as if it all just happened yesterday.  Franchise Today airs LIVE Wednesdays at 11AM CT / 12PM ET with on-demand access on iTunes.
