Is there a different sector, a different franchise where you really admired what they've built?

The Action Catalyst
Living in the Grey, with Dave Mortensen (Fitness, Leadership, Franchising, Partnerships)

Oh, Domino's.

The Action Catalyst
Living in the Grey, with Dave Mortensen (Fitness, Leadership, Franchising, Partnerships)

if you don't love Domino's and I'm not a Domino's pizza guy, but I'll eat Domino's pizza, but it's how they've taken an average pizza.

The Action Catalyst

Sorry, Domino's.

The Action Catalyst
Living in the Grey, with Dave Mortensen (Fitness, Leadership, Franchising, Partnerships)

They've taken an average pizza and found a way to deliver it better than anyone else.

The Action Catalyst

I mean, they're operational excellence around the way they know their consumer better than anyone.

The Action Catalyst

And they know their consumer wants to know they, they made it the easiest way to acquire pizza.

The Action Catalyst

They made it easy way to deliver and track your pizza and they get it there fast.

It's just an incredible brand.

The Action Catalyst

So Domino's would be one.

But there are so many franchises out there from big to small to average that you can grow and learn from.

Chick-fil-A, it blows me away that you can go on a corner with Chick-fil-A.

The Action Catalyst
Living in the Grey, with Dave Mortensen (Fitness, Leadership, Franchising, Partnerships)

And I know why.

The Action Catalyst
Living in the Grey, with Dave Mortensen (Fitness, Leadership, Franchising, Partnerships)

And by the way, if you got into their organization, guess what?

The Action Catalyst
Living in the Grey, with Dave Mortensen (Fitness, Leadership, Franchising, Partnerships)

They have holes too.

The Action Catalyst
Living in the Grey, with Dave Mortensen (Fitness, Leadership, Franchising, Partnerships)

Don't think there's any perfection out there.

The Action Catalyst
Living in the Grey, with Dave Mortensen (Fitness, Leadership, Franchising, Partnerships)

The day you think you found perfection is the day you got blindsided by your own business.

The Action Catalyst
Living in the Grey, with Dave Mortensen (Fitness, Leadership, Franchising, Partnerships)

And a lot of people do that.

Living in the Grey, with Dave Mortensen (Fitness, Leadership, Franchising, Partnerships)

But Chick-fil-A, the way they deliver, you can hit the corner of all four of those fast food restaurants and you go into Chick-fil-A and you go, how are their customer service is so much better than everybody else's.
