In this episode, Dan and Christian chat with Larry Layton, founder of 4Wall Insights, a franchise consulting firm that specializes in coaching emerging franchisors on how to improve their operations. Larry shares his family's compelling story about how they came to America after fleeing turmoil in Guatemala many years ago, as well as how he started his franchising career with some big names in franchising. From Taco Bell to Burger King to Buffalo Wild Wings and beyond, Larry has established himself as an expert on improving a franchise's systems. As a former master franchisee, Larry also offers some practical advice to franchisees on how to avoid common operating mistakes and how to build the right team so that you can truly build a business that can run on its own without you. Tune in to learn from an operations master and level up your business game.
