#QOTDPart 1: Give me your feedback, are you excited about instagram bringing a visual element to the show? Part 2: Are you going to submit a question via instagram? If you are building a consumer facing business, like a restaurant for example, then a franchise is a great thing to do. But, something to ask is—are you trying to franchise your name? A lot of people have tried to franchise me. Yeah. Me. As in Garyvee. I got so many pitches when “Crush It” came out in 2010.
