Franchising has been my way of raising money.

It's other people's money where they pay a fee to join our system.

I pull out dividends over time.

I mean, I'm not a big money guy.

And, you know, I think a lot of entrepreneurs are driven by money.

I'm driven by growth of people and opportunity and building a legacy, building brands that customers love.

And, you know, I drive a Fiat.

I've got a little Fiat 500.

It's a pretty inexpensive little city car.

But that's my my, you know, sort of showing you that I'm not a big money guy.

I don't have a massive home.

So pulling money out of the business isn't something that's important to me.

I'd rather put it into the business, keep it there and watch it continue to grow.

And to me, when you say build wealth, I know you've got a capitalistic hat on.

But wealth to me is watching people develop and evolve financially.

Watching our someone who's in our call center grow up to a point where they end up wanting to start their own franchise with us.

And that's what drives me.

And I find that stuff pretty exciting.

I don't.

I used to.
