Let's talk about everything and anything in franchising!
Inspiring with experiences and information from the coal face of the people behind the day-to-day of franchises in action.
We unpack personal journeys in founding and leading franchises, but just as important, are the journeys of people who own and run one or multiple franchise locations.
From fitness, to coffee, to lawns and everything in between, franchising is a buffet of business niches.
And with that comes an even wider range of people and stories to talk to about what they do, and how they did it.
And from the people who support franchises in every kind of way.
Everyone has a story to tell, and you'll often be amazed when they tell it in this way!

Ep144 What It Really Takes to Become an International Keynote Speaker & MC | Mark Carter
Mark Carter is an international speaker, trainer, author, and learning and development professional with nearly 30 years of experience in human behaviour, leadership, and performance. From his early days as a tour leader with Contiki in Europe, Mark’s passion for storytelling, people, and learning naturally evolved into a career on stage.
What began as an opportunity to train others in presentation skills grew into a comprehensive framework for powerful communication, blending voice, body language, storytelling, audience engagement, and delivery. Over the years, Mark developed his unique cinematic presentation style, creating immersive keynote experiences that combine sound, vision, and live storytelling to captivate audiences in an entirely different way.
Driven more by purpose than applause, Mark’s work has always centred on sharing knowledge, developing leaders, and helping people connect more deeply with their message. His career has expanded across industries, allowing him to build a diverse range of content while maintaining a consistent standard of impact and authenticity.
