After decades in franchising, I’ve learned that success isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about sharing what you’ve learned and asking the right questions. I don’t claim to know it all, but if you’re facing a challenge in your franchise system, chances are, I’ve seen it, lived it, or helped someone else navigate it.
Real-World Franchise Experience
I’ve worked with over 50 franchise brands in various roles—franchisor, franchisee, supplier, and developer. I’ve invested my own time, money, and expertise in the industry, and today, I stay engaged with around 25 franchise brands at any given time. Some work with me through board roles, coaching, or advisory services, while others participate in my ZorForum mastermind groups, where franchise executives connect, share, and grow.
Asking the Right Questions
My job isn’t to tell you what to do—it’s to help you see the gaps, rethink your approach, and navigate the complexities of growth, leadership, and operations. I ask the right questions:
✔️ How did you get here?
✔️ Why did that happen?
✔️ Have you considered this?
These conversations lead to insights that drive real progress.
Helping Franchisors Overcome Challenges
I’ve worked with franchisors struggling with franchisee engagement, helping them improve communication and build stronger alignment. I’ve helped brands refine their franchise development process when growth stalled, ensuring they attract the right candidates—not just chase numbers. I’ve guided franchise executives through leadership transitions, operational overhauls, and brand transformations.

You Don’t Have to Navigate Franchising Alone
Franchising comes with challenges—non-compliant franchisees, unit-level economics, cultural misalignment, and scaling issues. But you don’t have to tackle them alone. Whether you’re growing, restructuring, or figuring out your next move, I’m here to help you think through it.
Let’s talk and find the best path forward for your franchise.
