I am just back from the Franchise Business Review Franchise Summit event in Austin, Texas, and it was a great time! This was my second time participating in this event. There was great energy in the room, many people providing perspective insights and solid advice, and several great speakers too - tons of value and learning. There were plenty of inspiring moments and connections, a fun “Texas Tailgate” reception, as well as fundraising for the local animal shelter.
As we enter December, it’s a good time to reflect on the year and feel grateful for all we’ve experienced as we look forward to the opportunities ahead next year; I’m optimistic!
