Why Every Franchise Brand Needs a Podcast (And How to Make It Work)

Description

In this episode, I share how we’ve used podcasts at Jim’s to help recruit nearly 2,000 franchisees in under six years.

You’ll hear:

  • Why real stories from franchisees build trust

  • How I run the podcast each week with tools like Zoom, Calendly, and AI

  • What questions I ask to get honest, useful content

  • How we turn one episode into blog posts, LinkedIn content, short videos, and more

  • What to do if your leadership team still doesn’t see the value

  • Tips for getting your founder or CEO involved—even if they hate being on camera

This is the same process I use every week. It works.
If you’re in franchise marketing or recruitment, this will help you get started and keep it going.
