We Bought a Franchise – by The Franchise Insiders

What happens when six proven franchise owners pull back the curtain and tell the truth about franchising? You get We Bought a Franchise — the podcast that cuts through the hype and gives you a front-row seat to the reality of franchise ownership.

Hosted by Jack and Jill Johnson — top-performing franchise consultants and owners themselves — each episode features candid conversations with their team of consultants, all current or former franchisees. You’ll hear from:

• David San Juan (Pink’s Windows franchise owner)
• Brian Gross (former Art of Drawers franchisee with a financial edge)
• Morgan Noller & Kathryn Allen (award-winning Soccer Stars operators)

Together, they share what’s really working in franchising today:

• Which industries deliver 7-figure revenues on modest investments — and which ones are mostly smoke and mirrors
• Why “passive ownership” is a myth, and what successful franchisees actually do to win
• The overlooked, “unsexy” sectors private equity can’t stop chasing (home services, B2B, senior care)
• The pitfalls of buying resale businesses and the traps of trendy fitness/food brands with razor-thin margins
• How to validate opportunities the right way, manage financial runway, and use AI to stay ahead of 2025 franchise trends

This isn’t theory. It’s raw, hard-earned wisdom from people who’ve lived it, scaled it, and sold it.
