In the debut episode of the Franchise Marketer Podcast, I interview Glenn Walford, a veteran in franchising in Australia.

Glen shares his journey from the military to franchising, discusses founding FranchiseBuyer.com.au, and emphasises the importance of video content in modern franchise marketing.

The conversation touches on the challenges of shifting from traditional to digital marketing, the rise of founder-led marketing, and the role of franchisee-generated content.

Glenn also introduces the Franchise Business Hub, a space designed for franchise executives to collaborate and leverage content for growth.

The episode concludes with practical advice on video content strategy and engaging franchisees in content creation.
