AJ Titus of United Franchise Group and Signarama joins the Pillars team this week. As a second generation franchise executive and the son of the titan of franchising, Ray Titus, AJ has learned valuable lessons growing up in the business, and has taken on leadership roles in both UFG and Signarama. On this episode we will discuss how AJ views his leadership role, earns the respect of his team and works to continue the Titus legacy.

We also welcome a father son duo from Dale Carnegie on Part II of our series, Franchising: The Gift the Keeps Giving. David Wright and his son, Jonny Wright, join Karen Kimsey-Sward to discuss the highs and lows and lessons learned navigating business with family. How does each generation learn from the other and empower the other to contribute.

Ray Pillar returns in his new segment,  Pillar’s Pillar with Ray, as he and Fred discuss the first Pillar of Franchising – Finding the Right Opportunity.

As usual, tune in for our Million Dollar Mentors, Kristin Selmeczy CEO of Pillars and owner of Molly Maid and Jerry Akers of Great Clips.

Listen live to new episodes on Thursdays at 4p central. Call in on Thursdays at 323-580-5755.
