“The best franchisors recognize that franchisees help make the franchisor system stronger.”

Big Chicken in space? Someday for sure, if Josh Halpern has his way! Josh joins Ab and Vini to share how he’s leveraging his incredible brand, marketing, and operating experience to guide and lead Shaquille O’Neal’s new restaurant concept.

A true entrepreneurial leader with a passion for innovation, Josh explains how franchises are (almost) like painting by numbers. How scaling a new franchise brand is like building an NFL team (Spoiler: It’s not all about the QB.). How the “trinity of costs” MUST be an obsession.

PLUS essential gut-checks for ‘Zors and ‘Zees, DEI that expands opportunity AND builds the brand, and lots more. Shaq up with us!
