On today's episode, Dr. Mark Costes confronts the good, the bad and the ugly truth about franchises. Sure, owning a McDonald's would be great with high earnings a year, but is it worth the cost of creative freedom and "franchise rent"? What if there was a way to have an operating system that gave you the benefits of a franchise without any of the downsides of one?

Tune in to brace yourself for a ride on the franchise roller coaster and how you can step off and reap the benefits without ever getting back on again.
