This episode is straight from Flynn Con in San Diego put on by Pat Flynn of the Smart Passive Income podcast. We set up a Capitalism.com advice booth and waited to see who would walk over and sign up to sit down. An attendee named Jessica Dhillon came by, having never heard of Ryan Daniel Moran or Capitalism.com before, and she asked about the direction she should go with her new podcast - The Smart Franchisee. In her show directed at entrepreneurs and 9-5ers who want to buy a franchise, she gives the real story about what it's really like and what you need to know before buying a franchise. However, she worries about being too blunt, making enemies, or being too controversial. On this episode of Freedom Fast Lane, Ryan shares his thoughts about all this...
