Welcome to the Franchise Founders Podcast. We are on a mission to help aspiring entrepreneurs just like you take action through franchise ownership allowing you to obtain more financial freedom, time with family, and ultimately, a business that can run on its own without you.

Dan Claps has co-founded several franchise development firms and currently runs The Franchise Playbook. Christian Dadulak is a successful Franchise Consultant and runs his independent Franchise Consulting business, The Franchise Guys. 

In this episode, Dan and Christian talk to Ron Silberstein, President of Bud's Lounge, which is an emerging franchise concept in the cannabis space. The first of its kind, Bud's place is addressing the issue that is a lack of safe, comfortable places to consume cannabis responsibly. As an increasing number of states legalize cannabis, Ron feels it's important to provide a fun, safe, and entertaining atmosphere to enjoy recreationally. We talk about the challenges that come with being an emerging concept AND in an emerging industry, as well as why a cannabis consumption lounge franchise might be worth taking a look at for the right kind of entrepreneur. Tune in to learn more about this new industry, this emerging concept, and the leadership team behind it.
