Great entrepreneurs build great organizations. They
possess a knack for making smart business decisions,
building great teams, and creating successful companies.
But as we’ve learned from years of interviewing successful
multi-unit franchisees, they’ve also struggled, doubted, and
made more than a few mistakes—yet they’ve soldiered on,
persevered, and ultimately come out on top. To provide a
deeper sense of their journeys, insights, and personalities,
we’re selecting franchisees from our most inspiring print
interviews and creating a new series of online videos of
these franchisee leaders—who we call Empire Builders.
